Feature Artists & Performers: Anie & Mike Hepher

In a perfect world, an artist has just the right amount of space, clarity, and a dozen other things necessary for internal ideas to become finished creations. It’s not a perfect world though, so when two russet-haired multi-disciplined artists find each other from distant corners of BC and come together to build a life, raise a family, and make beautiful music, it’s clear something quite special has happened.

Mike and Anie Hepher met as guests at a mutual friend’s wedding in Gibsons on the BC Coast where Mike was also performing and needed a harmony for a particular song. Music turned to conversation that went long into the night; fast forward a few months and Mike packed up his VW Van to join Anie in Cranbrook. They speak enthusiastically of being immersed in the music scene there and married in nearby Mayook on a rural property known in the grassroots music scene for intimate musical gatherings.
