Four awards of US$2,500 will be given to first-generation refugee or immigrant students in the United States to commemorate the Grammy Award-winning pop-rock band celebrating a decade together and the launch of two new singles: Follow You and Cutthroat.


The scholarship’s inspiration comes from Imagine Dragons’ experience performing around the world and witnessing the power of music as an international language that connects people from all backgrounds, cultures and walks of life. The Las Vegas group has gained empathy for those who come from different cultures, especially those who’ve started a new life and faced educational and financial challenges in the U.S. – Steve McLean has the full story that you can read on SamaritanMag.com

Festivals News

Vancouver Folk Music Festival has announced the appointment of Corbin Murdoch as its new executive director. He is a local arts-scene veteran who recently served as the executive director of the Dawson City Music Festival and earlier worked with Theatre Replacement and the Cultch in Vancouver.

The VFMF is now heading into its 49th year. The Georgia Straight notes that "one of Vancouver’s longest-running cultural events, the festival survived a rough patch as the world was emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic." In Jan. 2023, the fest announced the cancellation of that summer's fest, but a public outcry saw that decision reversed and the event has continued annually since then.
