Kjelti Anderson, a singer-songwriter from Battleford has recorded a song in honour of Allen Sapp. The official release is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at ARC Creative Studios and it's BYODD, that is, bring your own denim and device.
Folks are asked to wear denim in tribute to Sapp, who Anderson says was famous for his getup of jeans, a denim shirt and cowboy boots and hat. The device can be a phone or tablet and those attending are asked to bring along headphones for a "unique listening experience."
Anderson wrote the song in February of 2016 and was inspired by Sapp's life and paintings. Its title, He Perceives It, is the English translation of Sapp's Cree name, Kiskayetum. The song was then recorded in Saskatoon, featuring Cordell Anderson and Joseph Naytowhow, with some funding from Creative Saskatchewan Song Recording Grant.
The song is also available online at kjeltikatherine.bandcamp.com and event information can be found on the Facebook page "Official Song Release - BYODD." For those who don't have a device, but still want to attend, contact Kjelti at 306-480-9010 or [email protected] to discuss other options.
