DAVE CLARK’S WESTERN SLANG
6.00
The Western Slang country band exists to uplift you. They play country music from dusty trails to outer space tales with all the of the elegance, mystery and shizz that life can give!
Dave Clark (Rheostatics, Charles Spearin, The Woodshed Orchestra) pilots this band as they traipse along the musical high wire from ballads, to gritty funky numbers, to the frayed edges of country rock n roll.
NASTASIA Y
8.30
Nastasia Y (nas-TA-sya Why) braids ancient folk songs with modern grooves to create a sound uniquely her own - but if you need a genre, try Ukrainian soul. Her artistry is shaped just as much by growing up in Kyiv, raised on her late father’s freedom songs, as by jazz school days in Toronto listening to Stevie Wonder and Erykah Badu. Weaving ancestral sounds with lush synths, funky loops, and groovy basslines, her music is fresh yet nostalgic - entangled in the complex emotions of war and love, heartbreak and hope. Her album Kyiv Soul earned praise from CBC, World Music Charts Europe, and two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations.
$15 cover after 10PM and $20 after 2AM, with all proceeds going directly to the musicians performing.
