Made in Manitoba

This weekend, Saturday, March 4th and Sunday, March 5th, the Manitoba Registered Music Teachers’ Association (MRMTA) will be hosting their annual Kids Helping Kids Musicthon. This is an event that is now in its 34th year… The main purpose is to raise money for music programs for disadvantaged youth and give back to the Winnipeg community.

Local Christian artist Carine Bado is releasing a new, powerful single called 'Second Chances.'

"It's a very personal [song]," says Bado. "It's a reflection of God's amazing grace and personally, my experience of that amazing grace and redemption. It was a way for me to thank God for everything He has done, and what the cross really means to me."

Bado will be releasing her six-song EP later this year. 

"Sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves, dealing with a lot of guilt and shame. I really want people to know that it only gets better with God."

Tirrell Thomas faced many hardships in his life before realizing that he needed community and God to help him, he now dedicates his newest song to this lesson.

Before finding God's love, Tirrell Thomas searched for love in different ways, including money, fame, alcohol and women. It wasn't until a difficult breakup with his girlfriend in 2012-13 that he started to really question what real love was.

To motivate couples to love one another deeply throughout the entire year, David Bracken writes a love song that aligns with words from the Bible.

The last time David Bracken released music was in 2018, an acoustic EP. He has since recorded a full band version of the title track and is now announcing the full version release of another song from the EP, 'Taken.'

A two-time Manitoba author is releasing her second book wrapped in intrigue that stems from real-life events that are stranger than fiction.

Iris Munchinsky was born in Scotland but grew up in Ontario before she and her husband made their home in Virden, Manitoba. 

Her second book in the Shadow Series, Shadow of the Masters, was released on December 15, 2022.
