ASHLEY PAUL (https://ashleypaul.bandcamp.com)
Multi-instrumentalist / composer / songwriter Ashley Paul lands in Toronto in support of her newest outing on Orange Milk Records "I Am Fog". Paul's songs move with slow fragile beauty encompassing elements of free jazz at glacial pace. Her music is full of thought and sorrow while not without celebratory moments. Understated guitar notes glisten as they just grace the song's structure as if making a brief stop only to float off elsewhere. Squeaking saxophone whispers slip through the music like tears. Don't miss this rare performance by a truly singular storyteller.
ANDRE ETHIER (https://andreethier.bandcamp.com)
Guitarist & singer Ethier's laid back folk tunes ripple with casual sonic artifacts behind his gentle guitar tone. His latest trilogy of albums of Toronto's Telephone Explosion label sees him embrace an airy flowing style of songwriting, letting his voice lead as acoustic guitar notes swim with synth flourishes. The music is full but light at the same time. Come see this former Deadly Snake in his element.
NICK STORRING (https://nickstorring.bandcamp.com)
Nick Storring celebrates the release of his new album, Music from 'Wéi 成为' on Orange Milk Records with a return to the live arena. Storring creates methodically full electro-acoustic compositions turning forgotten piano notes into an echoing tidal wave of sonic texture. Playing with errant tones and hums he builds a sonic landscape full of depth and mystery. Nick's music is never without a hint of playfulness. A sonic assembler taking you on a tour of his discoveries.

JESSICA MOSS (https://jessicamoss.bandcamp.com)
Montreal violinist & vocalist Jessica Moss (Silver Mt. Zion), drops into Toronto behind her 3rd solo LP "Phosphenes" on Constellation Records. Recorded during the pandemic this new music channels her haunting grasp of long form post-classical composition. Tortured violin loops weave a web of bristly yet comforting fur. Errant vibrations blistering into distorted notes. Beauty finds a way to exist amongst inevitable sorrow. Contemplative and cosmic sound pieces exist in a space between the global hum. Minimal / maximal Moss treads the line between dark ambient and metallic drones. Get here on time for an inspiring & introspective performance.
KA BAIRD (https://sapropelicpycnic.bandcamp.com)
Long time experimenter, avant psych head, vocal adventurer Ka Baird lands in Toronto for the first time since their Spires That In The Sunset Rise days. Their solo effort over the last years has seen Baird pushing the limits of their vocal techniques & lopping compositional prowess with a number of releases on Drag City & more recently RVNG Intl. and it's subsidiaries. Building song structures from the most basic elements they creates trance like soundscapes with glowing minimalist percussive timbres, vocals that feel like they're as essential as breath, and manipulated flute textures. In the solo realm Baird's penchant for psych creeps into the work, but never overshadows the playfully personal appeal their rhythmic outsider jams impart. One of the most exciting artists working in the avant space these days. Don't sleep on this!
Ka Baird is a performer, composer and sound designer based in New York City. They are known for their live solo performances which include extended voice and microphone techniques combined with electronics and psychoacoustic interplay of flutes and other woodwinds. They create a present tense sound with a vigorous delivery that seeks extreme release through physical exertion and psychic extension.
PRINCE NIFTY (https://princenifty.bandcamp.com)
Producer / Musician / Polymath Toronto's Matt Smith kicks things off with his long running Prince Nifty project. Hot off the heels of his newest release "Interplanetary Machines", we see Smith playing with his voice, building choral arrangements that move from slow ballads to deep meditative drones. Hums & whispers fill out the backwoods of his compositions, creating a continuity with his methodical vocal phrasing. Each thought fades away before moving to the next. A beautifully full yet spacious sonic array that takes its time. Long form music that is entrenched in its own mood. Nifty is the expert aural arranger who presence is both invisible and all encompassing. Spin the new record, come on time!
