New mini series alert! SADCAST is taking you "Inside the Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival" ahead of the 8th annual event Oct. 11-13. This is a chance to get to know three participating artists, including Syilx songwriter Francis Baptiste. What makes him an outsider? Well, in his words, he's a "washed-up, divorced, recovering alcoholic trying to balance being a single father and middle-aged musician." 

By listening to his new album S​ə​nk​̓​lip, the Trickster, you're supporting his efforts to learn, teach and preserve the endangered Nsyilxcən language.

Catch Francis at VOAF 2024.
