Skye Wallace:
Listed as one of Blog TO’s Top 20 Folk & Roots Shows in Toronto last summer and hailed as Vancouver’s queen of dark folk, Skye Wallace truly is a “national treasure” (Sad Mag). This is a show you won’t want to miss.
Skye Wallace is on a quest to compile stark elements of Canadian landscape and history into a contemporary musical archive. Often drawn from untold stories hidden in plain sight, Skye's songs are dynamic, gritty, and orchestral, both the melodies and narratives sticking in your head long after listening. Skye is currently residing, performing, and writing in Vancouver.
After having embarked on successful Canada-wide tours in 2011, 2013, and 2014, hitting the West Coast festival circuit, Canadian Music Week, and NXNE, Skye has just released her third full-length studio album. "Living Parts" is Skye's highly-anticipated album about dead things — though the term "dead things" shouldn't be taken at face value. In "Living Parts," Skye exhumes and gives voice to the tiny fragments of hope, desire, and despair that echo in the wake of even the loneliest human lives.
David Newberry:
David Newberry bring his critically acclaimed thinking-peoples'-rock-music back to BC for the first time in a year. Known for his haunting original lyrics and compelling stage presence, Newberry creates music that is captivating, provocative, and empathetic to our search for connectivity in a complex and at times alienating world. He challenges our notion of what contemporary music feels like, and and places himself at the heart of our cultural dialogue.
