The Skipping Stone Foundation Having observed the barriers and stigma that transgender and gender creative youth experience and wanting to change those narratives, the Skipping Stone Foundation was formed to give youth positive and affirming opportunities surrounding their gender identity. Their mission is to empower transgender and gender diverse youth by providing them with the resources and opportunities to follow and achieve their goals and dreams and we at the palomino are excited to work with them. https://www.facebook.com/skippingstoneca/ info@skippingstone.ca Rae Spoon Rae Spoon is an award-winning Canadian musician, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and author. They have released eight solo albums spanning folk, indie rock and electronic genres over the past twelve years and have toured across Canada and internationally. Their live shows swing between audience singalongs and large danceable arrangements, which keep them playing everywhere from folk festivals and house concerts to rock concerts and theatres. Rae was the subject and composer of the score for the National Film Board–produced musical-documentary My Prairie Home, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2014. They have been nominated for two Polaris Prizes, a Lambda Literary Award, a Western Canadian Music Award, a CBC Radio 3 Bucky Award and a MOTHA Transgender Musician of the Year Award. http://www.raespoon.com http://twitter.com/raespoon http://raespoon.tumblr.com/ https://ello.co/raespoon https://www.coaxrecords.com/ Wrong Kind Of Girls We are Canada's preeminent queer feminist ukulele comedy band.
