Keynote Concert: Lunacy

Lunacy is the tale of the human obsession with the moon, a connection that began millennia ago and thrives today with Artemis. Our desire to see humans on the moon has recruited the noble, the not-so-noble, the rich, the inventive and even the conspiratorial. We are all part of Lunacy.

Jay Ingram

Trevor Day (vocals, guitar)

Ben Jackson (drums)

Josip Vulic (bass, vocals)

Warren Tse (keyboards)

Warren is also the organist for the Calgary Flames, and the producer and one-half of the Juno-nominated duo, Ginger Beef.
