Comox is hosting Music in the Park and it is returning for its annual event of the summer, happening Sunday, Sept. 3.

This free, family event will feature a depth of local musical talent from 1 鈥� 5 p.m. at the lower gazebo in Comox Marina Park, 127 Port Augusta St.

Elise Boulanger will open the afternoon at 1 p.m., with Octiv6 at 2:30 p.m., and conclude with Dani Blond & the Velvet Grip at 4 p.m. DJ Bobby Herron will keep the crowd moving with some sweet musical pairings between performances.

鈥�(The) Town of Comox is pleased to bring out three talented West Coast musicians, who generously give back by bringing their music into our community,鈥� said Comox Mayor, Nicole Minions. 鈥淭his is a great opportunity for residents or visitors to stay local, dance at the park or simply sit back and enjoy the music. Bring your own drinks, snacks and chairs or blankets. Hope to see you there.鈥�

1 p.m. Elise Boulanger

Hailing from the West Coast of Canada on Snuneymuxw territory, Boulanger is a bilingual chamber-folk-pop artist with a haunting avalanche of a voice. She creates cinematic dreamscapes influenced by nature, her classical training and artists like Regina Spektor, Patrick Watson, Franz Schubert and Radiohead.

She鈥檚 sonically reminiscent of Kate Bush, Lana Del Rey, and Kishi Bashi.

2:30 p.m.Oktiv6

When Eric Ettinger isn鈥檛 playing his trade as a support worker for special needs adults, or volunteering for the Care-A-Van, he spends much of his time creating music, as Oktiv6. The long-time Comox Valley resident - he and his family moved to the Valley from Port Alice 28 years ago - has been creating music for many years.

Much of Otiv6鈥檚 music reflects where he lives - Vancouver Island. His videos are shot around the Island, with many recognizable spots, such as the Buckley Bay ferry terminal, the Campbell River marina, Nanaimo, and even tubing on the Puntledge River.

4 p.m. Dani Blond & The Velvet Grip

Euphoric/folk/alt-rock band from the West Coast, this female-fronted band blends an exciting mix of emotionally charged grooves with entrancing, atmospheric layers. This alt-rock quartet will grab you by the shoulders and shake you uncontrollably while guiding you to your soul. The event will run with light drizzles in the forecast.
