Nickelodeon Music Club Presents Big Little Lions

The Big Little Lions, consisting of Paul Otten and Helen Austin, was born out of a collaboration that won the duo a Juno Award in 2014. Since then they have been cranking out infectious folk pop songs that are jam-packed with emotion and tight harmonies that sound like the product of two people working side-by-side instead of living in different countries. In their live shows, Paul plays the drums, bass and keyboard, all while singing lead vocals. Helen, sings, plays guitar and foot percussion. They use every limb, and then some, to make two people sound like a full band. The Big Little Lions have released six albums to date, which have garnered them awards and nominations including the Canadian Folk Music Award’s Ensemble of the Year. Their critically-acclaimed music has appeared on the CBC’s Top 20 and featured on shows including q and Vinyl Cafe.

Write On indeed! The Nick is thrilled to host some talented performers from Write On!, a nonprofit songwriting mentorship program tailored specifically for Alberta’s aspiring songsmiths. Their eight months’ journey with the program provides them with a comprehensive exploration of the art and industry of songwriting. At its core, Write On! is about nurturing a sense of community and mutual support among its participants — a perfect fit for The Nick! The names of the performers will be announced closer to the concert date.
