GREAT LAKE SWIMMERS Select reviews for “Uncertain Country” (2023): “A stunning variety of tones and textures... nothing less than both cerebral and sublime” –American Songwriter, 4/5 “It floats from country to folk to indie rock and back again, painting a sharp-toothed butchingly beautiful portrait of both the natural world and the human condition” –NewNoise Magazine, Best Of 2023 “An ‘elsewhere’ where uncertainties and anxieties are often the most willing to makewaves...Americana which strives to deal with traumas through padded atmospheres” –Rolling Stone France “This collection of songs examines the passage of time masterfully... 'Uncertain Country' stands as some of the strongest & most consistent work by one of Canada’s best bands” –Great Dark Wonder Biography GREAT LAKE SWIMMERS Featuring a blend of acoustic instruments, rural soundscapes, and wistful vocals,GreatLake Swimmersare a critically acclaimed indie-folk group led bysongwriter/vocalist Tony Dekker. Based in Toronto, Ontario, the group emerged in theearly 2000s with a succession of heavily atmospheric albums recorded in old silos and rural country churches. The music developed in that pastoral warmth, performed andrecorded in acoustically unique and historical locales with a revolving cast of personnel.They are renowned for their homespun folk and lush, intimate Americana in their liveset. Great Lake Swimmers celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2023 with “Uncertain Country,” an album where doubts are followed by discovery, demos end up as finished tracks, and themes of new beginnings, rear-view reflections, and ruminations on the fluidity of time form the basis of the eleven new songs.It follows a prolonged period of collective anxiety. Recorded in different locales—and with a variety of musicians—a theme of questioning runs throughout. Even before theworld turned upside down, Dekker felt mired in uncertainty: from the climate crisis to the ever-changing political landscape. The “uncertain country” chosen as the album’s themeis not a specific place. Rather, it’s a territory we, as humans, inhabit in the 21stcentury—a world that, more often than not, is confusing, unfamiliar and unsettling. “Moonlight, Stay Above” epitomizes what Great Lake Swimmers represents. A 10-voicestrong women’s choir (Niagara's Minuscule) lifts the lonely-sounding and wistful song up. As with that addition, the band on each album is fluid and always evolving. Great Lake Swimmers were shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and nominated twice for Canada’s Juno Awards,with the CBC calling them “a national treasure.” “Dekker's preoccupation with the Canadian state of mind flourishes in his lyrics. Few songwriters are able to convey the country's harsh beauty as well. ...Canadian folk tradition personified in the 21st century” –Exclaim! “ Dekker has done a masterful job of finding that balance on The Waves, the Wake, which has enough connections to the past to satisfy long-time fans of Great Lake Swimmers even while the singer looks to the future and moves forward as an artist.” –The Georgia Straight “A minimalist, atmospheric compendium of songs with a sonic environment the listenercan easily get lost in.” –The Vue “Ambient Zen Americana” -Mojo Information Source: Harmony Hall | eventbrite

BEDOUIN SOUNDCLASH Canadian indie rock and reggae royalty Bedouin Soundclash took a creative hiatus after climbing to the pinnacle of the Canadian music industry, and now they're back better than ever to continue the next chapter in their singular genre-defying career – a career which has seen them celebrated at home and abroad with JUNO awards, Top 10 radio hits, and international tours with No Doubt, Ben Harper, The Interrupters, and Thievery Corporation. This year Bedouin Soundclash return with a brand new album titled We Will Meet in a Hurricane, OUT NOW on Dine Alone Records. Formed nearly two decades ago and named after Israeli dub artist/producer Badawi’s 1996 release, Bedouin Soundclash debuted in 2001 with the album Root Fire. Their acclaimed sophomore release Sounding a Mosaic (2004) featured the hit single, “When the Night Feels My Song” and was produced by legendary punk-hardcore royalty Darryl Jenifer of Bad Brains. This earned Bedouin Soundclash their first JUNO Award in 2006 for Canada’s Best New Group. Their follow-up album, Street Gospels (2007) also produced by Jenifer, earned a “Pop Album of the Year” nomination and “Video of the Year” nomination for the single “Walls Fall Down” at the 2008 JUNO’s as well as three Much Music Video Award nominations for their video for “Until We Burn in the Sun” in 2009. In 2010, the band released their fourth studio album, Light the Horizon, that included the singles “Mountain Top”, “Elongo” and “Brutal Hearts” – the latter featuring French-Canadian singer-songwriter Coeur de pirate. The album was produced with technical and theory-based precision by legendary deep house DJ and Philadelphia-based musicologist King Britt. In 2019, after a nine-year hiatus, the band re-emerged to release their fifth studio album MASS, produced by King Britt and Bedouin Soundclash. The album was a powerful experience that spanned two communities, recorded in New Orleans with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and in Vancouver at the St. James Church with the children of the St. James Music Academy.

An Evening WithBOBBI BAZINI Pearl intimate Shows SAT MAY 3 $39.50 ADV | $44.50 DOOR DOORS 7 PM ABOUT BOBBI BAZINI With over a decade of success including multiple JUNO and ADISQ Award nominations, Platinum records, tens of millions of streams and sold-out shows, Bobby Bazini returns with Pearl, a new album and something of a musical renaissance for the artist. The concept of Pearl was born when Bazini came across an article in the National Geographic about how pearls are formed: when foreign objects such as grains or sand enter the oyster, it protects itself by surrounding them with layers of nacre. From an irritant, the oyster manages to create one of the rarest and most beautiful materials in the world! Fascinated by this concept, he was reminded of a darker time he had just lived through and felt strongly about using this idea as the inspiration for this next album. He now needed to find someone who could help him bring this to life and immediately contacted Connor Seidel (1969 Collective, Charlotte Cardin, Les sœurs Boulay): I'd been hearing his name everywhere for years. We got in touch, and it all started falling into place. I knew right away that I’d found the right producer for this project. In hindsight, I can safely say that I wasn’t mistaken.” Both artists agreed to begin working a few weeks later. In the meantime, Bobby spent some time by the ocean. Having not taken a trip for a while he realized just how much he’d missed it. Whilst away, he started recording sounds on his phone for the album, particularly the sound of the breaking waves. Upon his return, during their first session, Connor and Bobby wrote Pearl, the album’s title track: I told him about the effect the sea had on me, the National Geographic article, the transformation of something negative into something positive and I played him recordings of the waves... Connor was just as inspired as I was and after we finished Pearl, we decided to make the whole album around this idea.” “Pearl was becoming a concept album right down to the very last detail. Be it the lyrics, the themes, the order of songs; or in the repetition of certain melodies and vocal tracks to evoke the idea of the sphere; in the interludes when you hear the sea; in the instrument choices (harp, flute, etc.); in the voices that we’d recorded to sound as if they were underwater; in the using of shells as percussion at various times throughout the album, everything, absolutely everything was going to lead us back to the pearl. Connor was very excited about this concept, sometimes even more than myself… I think (laughs). I thought it was so beautiful that my project became his project too. I've worked with many producers throughout my career and his approach was unique. He showed me the way to embody this concept as faithfully as possible across a little more than ten songs. During their sessions, both artists shared a lot of music, particularly music from the 70's, like Terry Callier, Jorge Ben and Nick Drake. In just three weeks, a first version of Pearl was completed! We often recorded vocals and guitars with our phones so as not to waste too much time as we wanted to completely focus on the writing. Some of those original guitar tracks, vocals and seaside sounds recorded with our iPhones even made the final mix . After three weeks of pure creation, Bazini and Seidel were eager to record their new songs and started talking about who they should approach to join them in the studio for the recording sessions. They kept the guitars for themselves, preferring nylon strings, inspired by the playing of João Gilberto, the Brazilian bossa nova pioneer. And as the entire album was written on nylon strings they too had to feature on the final recordings. Seidel took charge of bass duties. We had a dream team in mind for this project, and we even waited for everyone to be available to start recording. The first musician we called was Robbie Kuster (Patrick Watson) and he played the drums, percussion, bells and saw! On keyboards, we invited Conner Molander (Half Moon Run). It's like he makes his keyboard sing, this guy’s amazing. His performances were so powerful and even ended up influencing the string arrangements. When Éveline Rousseau (The Barr Brothers) started playing the harp in the studio, something happened: it's as if we’d just entered Pearl's universe for real. On strings, we had Antoine Gratton who blew me away. Before I contacted him, everyone was talking about him. They say his arrangements have a floral touch, and that's just what he brought. The result is simply sublime. Félix Petit (Les Louanges), on flute and saxophone completed the ensemble. Finally, the sound engineer Charles-Émile Beaudin did a remarkable job in the studio. We talked a lot before recording began and we shared musical references. He understood right away where we wanted to go.” Pearl, this creation made by an oyster to protect itself from irritants of the outside world; perfectly illustrates Bobby Bazini's journey toward this fifth studio album: I feel like it's also my first, though. I've always dreamed of creating an album like this and now I have the freedom and team to do it. I had things to say, I had to get those songs out of me. It's an album that takes you places; while writing it, I constantly had the echo of the sea in my ears. I hope it’ll be the same for the listener.” Information Source: Harmony Hall | eventbrite
