Axis Mundi delivers the vibe ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Call it Axis Muddy. Call it Revelstock. The first Axis Mundi Festival has come and gone and the verdict is in: the lineup, the vibe, the performances were all outstanding. Now it’s just a matter of getting out the crowds. Revelstoke was witness to many great performances over the weekend. There was Walk Off the Earth, who showed why they might just be the next big thing in Canadian pop with their polished and energetic set at Revelstoke Mountain Resort on Saturday. Sure, it was pouring rain and the front of

the stage was a giant mud pit, but that just added to the atmosphere and it didn’t seem to stop anyone from having fun. There was the Nyundo School Roadshow, a collection of talented young singers and musicians from Rwanda who delivered a series of inspiring performances throughout the festival, starting with their revelatory set in Grizzly Plaza on Friday. There was Tequila Mockinbird Orchestra at the River City Pub, followed by The Walkervilles at the Last Drop. Both bands packed their respective venues, with a lineup to get in the latter. At the Drop, the dance floor was hopping and the crowd wouldn’t let the band stop playing until

they ran out of songs. There was Saturday afternoon’s show at the Last Drop, when Buckman Coe, DJ Adam Shaikh and members of the Nyundo School played a grooving jam together. There was Jamie Andrews, who delivered a riveting talk on Saturday at the C3 Church that was a mix of a harrowing adventure story and an inspirational tale over-thecoming-the-odds. He lost his hands and feet to frostbite while climbing a peak in the French Alps in 1999, but he pushed himself to keep pursuing his passions despite his disabilities. see Axis Mundi, page 10
