Celebrated Canadian Blues-Soul artist AV (Ann Vriend) has just launched an all female Soul and Gospel inspired vocal group, titled AV and The Inner City. The diverse group of women who make up the collective include members of the Indigenous, Black, and LGBTQ+ communities, are all experienced vocalists with their own respective careers. Coming together naturally during AV's weekly, COVID-safe "Porch Concerts" in Edmonton's inner city neighbourhood of McCauley, the already award-winning collective brought their first award home before ever releasing a single, picking up the "Emerging Artist Award" at the Edmonton Folk Festival this summer. Their first release as a group, "Nobody Is You", premiered on CBC Edmonton last week, and is a soul-stirring song about a lost love.
