Reinventing Rebelinx February 28, 2015 by Rebelinx Category 1 Prince George doesn’t just get a concert with modern soul-jazz-urban musician Lincoln Thorne, we actually get Lincoln Thorne. The multidimensional Canadian arts figure grew out of an upbringing in Toronto (there he was in noted band Genius Of Funk), a foray to Montreal (he studied filmmaking at Concordia University) and a rise to prominence in Vancouver where he make films and music, and also owned a popular all-night art gallery and jazz joint. He has also beaten paths around Europe. Now, he has moved to Prince George. His life-partner got a job in P.G. and his adaptable, portable artist’s heart had no problem following her. “I’m reinventing myself in this new city, but trying to also keep everything going as an indie artist,” Thorne said. “I’m up for meeting people and getting to know the scene. I’m really not sure what to expect. I’d pretty much stepped out of the community stuff (in recent times), but I’m ready to find out about Prince George’s music scene and the whole arts scene.” Thorne was so adept at being a catalyst of subcultural scenes in Vancouver that friends gave him the nickname Linx (a triple entendre connecting his first name, the concept of linking people together, and the wily northern animal). -See more >>
