Sarah Slean
$49 Per Person
Including fees & charges
Signed to Atlantic/Warner Records at the tender age of 19, four-time Juno nominee and modern-day Renaissance woman Sarah Slean has since released 11 albums in over 10 countries worldwide – but perhaps the most astonishing aspect of her artistry is its breadth. Over her 25-year career, Slean has published two volumes of poetry, starred in short films and a movie musical (spawning two Gemini Award nominations), penned two string quartets and other chamber works, held numerous exhibitions of her paintings, and shared the stage with 10 of the country’s professional orchestras. Classically trained from the age of 5, she routinely collaborates with cutting-edge contemporary classical ensembles like The Art of Time and has been invited to sing world premieres by Canada’s leading living composers. She composes orchestral arrangements for her own music as well as for her pop colleagues (Dan Mangan, Hawksley Workman) and her recent collaborative recording with the Symphony Nova Scotia was just nominated for both an East Coast Music Award and a Juno Award in the Classical Album category (2021). Sarah is also a recent alumna of the prestigious Canadian Film Centre's screen composing residency (2017-8) and just earned her first Canadian Screen Award (2021).
Citing such diverse influences as Leonard Bernstein, philosophy, Joni Mitchell, Buddhism and Bach, her music borrows aspects of cabaret, pop, and orchestral: all knit together by the startling poetry of her lyrics, unique arranging and piano-playing, and that voice, described by the CBC as “a 19th century Kate Bush”. In addition to headlining theatres across Canada, Sarah has also toured Europe, the US and Scandinavia and has opened internationally for such artists as Bryan Ferry, Rufus Wainwright, Alanis Morissette, Andrew Bird, Feist, Ron Sexsmith, and Chris Isaak. Her 11th solo recording "Metaphysics", released in 2017, is described as a "breathtaking amalgamation of Slean’s dramatic orchestral arranging and her signature take on songwriting". In 2021-2022, Sarah will be composing the music for the stage musical adaptation of the award-winning film "Maudie".
Tower Of Song: A Creative Tribute to Leonard Cohen
Featuring Oliver Swain & Glenna Garramone
$45 Per Person
Including fees & charges
This is not your average cover band, but a creative tribute and a re-imagining of Leonard Cohen's songs and poetry by 2 of BC's celebrated singer-songwriters: 2x Western Canada Music Award Winner and Juno Nominee Oliver Swain, and Glenna Garramone. Together they have arranged Cohen's timeless songs beautifully, for two voices, string bass, piano, guitar, and banjo.
"I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A hundred floors above me, in the Tower of Song"
When Leonard Cohen sang these words, the Tower of Song was a metaphor for the inspiration that flows between songwriters, each toiling away on their own, but connected by their shared craft. Moved by this concept, Oliver Swain and Glenna Garramone collaborated to produce a project that is a dialogue through song and a tribute to the legendary songwriter. Re-imagining both rare and classic works of Cohen, the duo have crafted a sound that resonates with both longtime Cohen fans and a younger audience. This is the work of Cohen as you’ve never heard it before.
As Canada's longest running Leonard Cohen tribute, Tower of Song have toured across Canada several times, playing more than 200 shows to thousands of people in theatres and folk clubs across Canada. Highlights include a mainstage performance at the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival and sold out shows at Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna, the Dave Dunnet Theatre in Victoria, the West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg, and Aeolian Hall in London. Encouraged by the audience response, Tower of Song recorded their debut album In City and In Forest, with Juno award winning producer Joby Baker. Visit www.towerofsongmusic.com for more info.
"The tunes are hauntingly lovely. Wonderful takes with close harmonies and re-rhythmings. Musically sound. Faithful by being strongly, creatively Cohen, and yet wholly their own."
- James N. Porter, Professor Emeritus (Arts), York University
Oliver Swain
2x Western Canada Music Award winning and Juno nominated Americana Folk Noir musician Oliver Swain spent a dozen years in some of North America's most loved roots bands (Outlaw Social, The Duhks, The Bills) before going solo and releasing In a BIG MACHINE in to rave reviews, #1 spots on the charts, sold out shows and festival appearances across western Canada. A naturalist musician who was drawn to Louisiana and Appalachia several times to discover the roots of American music for himself, Oliver resides in Victoria, BC where frequent journeys into the rugged BC wilderness fuel his songwriting, singing and playing styles. Performing on Banjo and String Bass, led by tremendous vocal abilities, Oliver's live show has attracted a lot of attention over the years including that of Tamara Kater, Executive Director of Folk Music Canada: "Since I first discovered him in 2008, Oliver Swain has been one of my very favorite artists... an evening spent with Oliver Swain will leave you breathless and joyful." Visit Oliver Swain for more info.
Glenna Garramone
Based in Victoria, BC, Canada, Glenna Garramone is equally at home as a solo artist and in collaboration with a wide range of performers. Career highlights include mainstage performances at Telluride Bluegrass Festival, the Vancouver Folk Festival, and Rifflandia, as a keyboard player and vocalist for the band Shane Koyczan and the Short Story Long, with whom she co-wrote for their most recent album, Debris (featuring guest Ani DiFranco). With a style somewhere between Keith Jarrett and Joni Mitchell, Glenna Garramone's songwriting earned her Grand prize in the Artswells Songwriting Contest, and the award-winning song "Bear Scat" was featured on CBC Radio's North By Northwest with Sheryl MacKay. Inspired by the geography, inhabitants, and spirit of the places she has lived, from Nunavut to Hawaii, Glenna Garramone crafts "raw, emotional, and utterly captivating" songs (John Threlfall, Monday Magazine), using anything from piano, to guitar, to her tap shoes. She also holds a BFA in Writing from the University of Victoria, with a major in Poetry. Glenna is founder and director of The Pandora Chorus, an indie-pop-rock choir.

Josh Ritter is a renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author. One of today’s most thoughtful and prolific voices, he has released eleven studio albums including 2019’s widely acclaimed ‘Fever Breaks’ of which NPR Music praised, “He remains a hydrant of ideas while embodying an endless capacity for empathy and indignation, often within a single song.”
His twelfth studio album, “I Believe in You, My Honeydew’ is out now. Two-plus decades into his celebrated career, Ritter has written music that has transcended generations including luminaries such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Bob Weir covering his songs.
The Book of Gold Thrown Open tour is meant to encompass the whole of Ritter’s career, versus focusing on any one studio album.
In addition to his work as a musician, Ritter is also a national best-selling author, having released two novels to date: 2021’s The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All and 2011’s Bright’s Passage. Released to critical attention, Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review that Bright’s Passage “shines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime…This is the work of a gifted novelist.”
“Josh Ritter remains at the top of his game two decades into a highlight-strewn career. He’d be forgiven for loosening his grip, but his hand has never felt surer.”
- NPR Music
“Harking back to Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and maybe a little Mark Knopfler, Mr. Ritter has always been a slinger of serious ideas and high-flown imagery.”
- The New York Times

"You will go with me everywhere. When I’m dreaming, you still share my lonely nights." – Gordon Lightfoot
Vanessa Collier (Full Band)
$39.00 Per Person
Including fees & charges
Singer/songwriter Vanessa Collier’s sixth album Do It My Own Way was released September 13 via Phenix Fire Records. Recorded on analog gear with the musicians largely in one room, Do It My Own Way is sonically inspired by the classic Memphis soul sound of Stax and Hi Records, especially that of the Staples Singers. Second single “Wild As a Rainstorm,” which dives deep into soul territory, powerfully gives advice to women and people who feel left out to ignore the naysayers and “Be a tapestry of dreams.” The track has been added to Spotify’s official Retro Soul playlist. The groove and horns would make Willie Mitchell proud and indeed features legendary Hi Records organist Rev. Charles Hodges. The vocals are powerful, awe-inspiring, and undeniably soulful vocals.
Talking about the album, Collier adds, “It’s a warmer and darker sounding a record, recorded intentionally to reflect a throwback to older school soul, R&B, blues, and to the days of great songs and songwriters, tube amps and analog gear.” Do It My Own Way takes listeners back to the heyday of music with Memphis soul-influenced horn arrangements, layers of vocals for color, with poignant and powerful saxophone solos that deliver a quietly powerful undercurrent to each song and the album as a whole. Minor key Americana/noir “Take Me Back” served as the first single. The album kicks off with the funk workout “Elbow Grease.” On an album full of incredible grooves, “Shoulda Known Better” stands out while “Just One More” sways to a rhumba beat.
The gospel-tinged “Rosetta” pays tribute to one of Collier’s heroes, electric guitar pioneer Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Collier sings, “She’s carried the torch so I can see a little bit better... There’d be no Elvis or Chuck Berry. Sometimes the women do it best. She tackled all the inequities. And fought with strength and audacity.”
Kicking off on resonator guitar before the full band joins in, album closer “Warrior” paints the picture of a powerful woman and is both a universal message about the strength and experience of women and a tribute to Collier’s mother. The anthemic, slinky third single and title track artfully commenting on the sexism she’s encountered in life and in the music industry. Collier has encountered calls from members of the industry to dress in sexy clothes and to not rock the boat but has successfully taken hold of her own career.
“The opening lines are a piercing statement of the overused, antiquated, and tired views within the industry. And the lyrics of the second verse demonstrate how the industry attempts to put and keep women ‘in their place’ by undermining them,” she recounts, continuing, “I find that most artists I admire - namely, Prince, James Brown, and Bonnie Raitt, went against the grain and did things that people hadn’t thought of before and that people hadn’t seen before, changing the industry as they went. This song is an assurance that I will continue to choose to fight quietly or publicly, if needed, to represent myself how I want to be represented in this industry and that I will not allow someone else to define who I am. It’s also a statement of hope that the industry is, can, and will continue to progress.”
Of “Wild as a Rainstorm,” Collier says, “’Wild As A Rainstorm’ is a love letter to the next generation -– particularly my little sisters – who feel out of place in the current world. I’m hoping that this song and my journey to recognize my own personal power might inspire another to choose to take their own path when repeatedly arriving at forks in the road.”
Collier takes on multiple roles, writing the songs, producing the album, arranging horns and all instrumental and vocal parts, playing acoustic and electric guitars and alto and tenor saxophones, flute, as well as singing the lead and background vocals. Also, on the album are legendary Hi Records organ player Rev. Charles Hodges (Al Green, Bettye LaVette, Ann Peebles, Alex Chilton, Robert Cray); and frequent Collier collaborators Blues Music Award-winning guitarist Laura Chavez; bassist Scott Sutherland; and Byron Cage.
The songwriter/bandleader made her Chicago Blues Festival debut this year, in front of tens of thousands. Best known in the blues world – she’s a fifteen-time Blues Music Award nominee and five-time winner, including nominations for the monumental Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year, Horn Player of the Year, B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, and Contemporary Blues Album of the Year for “Do It My Own Way”. Do It My Own Way finds her influenced by soul artists like Mavis Staples, Sharon Jones, James Brown, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Aretha Franklin.
Blues Blast Mag said, “Vanessa is an important part of the future of the blues.” Born in Texas, growing up in Maryland, launching her career in Philadelphia, and now residing in South Carolina, Collier grew up listening to an eclectic variety of music. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, she joined blues legend Joe Louis Walker’s band, going solo at his urging, and has become a notable artist “whose rise to the top is nothing short of meteoric” (Making a Scene).

Fortunate Ones
Out of a period of isolation, introspection, and honesty, emerges That Was You and Me, the new album from Fortunate Ones.
With lush harmonies rising out of warm acoustic sounds, That Was You and Me finds Fortunate Ones reflecting on life, loss, grief, and hard times, and ultimately choosing love.
“Every part of our lives was changing. It was a big transition period, personally and professionally,” says Catherine Allan, one half of the St. John’s, Newfoundland duo, of the period in which these songs were written. After touring their second album, Hold Fast, the two craved time to retreat, reconnect, and create. Some of that time was granted on the heels of surgery.
“I had a tumor removed from my hand in the summer of 2019,” explains Andrew James O’Brien, the duo’s other half. Recovery left him unable to play guitar in any serious way - and slow days at home had him rethinking what a career in music would or could be. Instead, a job at the picturesque Inn by Mallard Cottage found O’Brien up early day after day, working the front desk.
That workaday life led to one of the album’s stand out songs. “Day to Day” was born in the very morning routine it describes. “One morning, the sun is not up,” O’Brien remembers. “Crawl downstairs half awake. I'm literally frying eggs and out of nowhere - this song comes. I don't have a guitar. I've never written a song like this before, full melody and verses in my head. Immediately words are coming, ‘alarm clock howls/I find my legs/crawl down the stairs/and fry my eggs.’ I'm writing this standing over the stove on my phone in complete silence. I'm thinking, holy shit, the whole song is done, end to end in my head. Never happened to me before in my life.”
The song talks of finding meaning in the day to day - and finding meaning is an overarching theme on this album. O’Brien and Allan decided “that the only way to move forward was to infuse our work with as much meaning as possible,” Allan says, “so that whatever happened, we would feel full from it, and hopefully then people will feel that too.” O’Brien agrees. “My goal was to write unwaveringly meaningful work that was incredibly personal and didn’t hold back.”
The result is an album stacked with songs about family, love, and finding one’s place. These songs are richly peopled and deeply personal - and at the same time, totally relatable. "It was intentional,” O’Brien said. “It wasn't like, let's write songs because we need to fill a record. Each song is its own story and its own living thing.”
“Clarity” is an anxious heart’s search for answers. “You’re Still Here” details a long, hard year and offers hope for the future. And “It’s Worth It (for Leo)” is a beautiful tribute to O’Brien’s father, who is unwell. O’Brien was thinking about what he most wanted his father to know. “You've created a legacy of people that are honored and proud to come from you,” O’Brien says, “and that, looking back on your life, if you can think of one positive moment in a sea of experience, then it was worth being alive.” It’s a hard song to sing, O’Brien admits, and the album version is a single take that had O’Brien - and producer Joshua Van Tassel - in tears. “It is not edited at all. You can hear that I’m sniffly in the last verse. It was a really profound moment. We had to keep it.”

Bobby Bazini
$39.00 Per Person
Including fees & charges
Since his very first career interview fifteen years ago, following the release of I Wonder, Bobby Bazini has often been asked the same question: why doesn't he sing in French? Journalists ask it during interviews, and fans bring it up after shows or when they approach him on the street. The desire was there, of course, but for years, he postponed the project — unsure of how to approach it, doubting himself, wondering whether he was capable and whether his audience would follow him on that path...
In 2022, he began working on French-language songs with longtime collaborator Connor Seidel (1969 Collective, Charlotte Cardin, Les Sœurs Boulay). They spent an entire summer on it, but something wasn’t clicking. One day, in the middle of a studio session, they walked away — without finishing a single song. The disappointment was real, but Bobby realized he simply wasn’t ready. He shelved the project once again and focused on releasing his album Pearl.
He then toured Western Canada, Europe, and across Quebec. During that time, he also began a personal journey: going back to school to finish high school, which he had left behind due to his music career. He reconnected with his former French teacher and spoke to her about his dream of making a French-language album. He showed her the lyrics he had written in French, and in return, she encouraged him to read more in that language to expand his vocabulary.
Because yes — he needed to find his voice in French. Having grown up immersed in English-language music, writing and singing in that language came naturally. French required a different creative process, a different way of making words resonate. At first, he focused heavily on the technical aspects; but over time, as he kept trying, fluency emerged. And with it, space for emotion — which unfolded in its own way, in his native tongue.
One day, while printing his student ID card, he saw his full birth name: Bobby Bazinet. The moment hit him hard. For fifteen years, everyone had called him Bazini — to the point where he had almost forgotten his real last name. It felt like a liberation. It was right then that the desire to make a French-language album truly took shape.
The concept for Seul au cinéma came later, during the Pearl tour. While playing a show in Saint-Eustache, Bobby found himself performing in a venue that was part of a movie theatre complex. That afternoon, after soundcheck, the venue manager offered him free rein to roam the cinemas. He made himself a bucket of popcorn and wandered from screening room to screening room, coming and going freely — sometimes staying for just a few minutes, sometimes longer. There were no signs outside the doors, so he never knew what he was walking into: a horror film, a romantic comedy, a popular Quebec feature.
The experience stayed with him. It felt like drifting through fragments of stories, like hopping from one dream to another, never seeing how any of them ended. When he told Connor about it, the concept clicked instantly: Seul au cinéma — Alone at the Movies. Nine rooms. Nine songs. Nine films telling a story of identity, Bobby’s story, through solitude.
With the theme in place, they had to define the album’s sonic universe. At first, Bobby and Connor thought of expanding on Pearl’s orchestral textures, and brought in Antoine Gratton and the Quatuor ESCA to record string arrangements. But as the sessions progressed, they felt they were straying from their desired sound.
In recent years, Bobby had been discovering French-language music, largely thanks to the parents of his partner Odessa. He grew particularly fond of Jim et Bertrand (he cites La tête en gigue as a favourite) and Rêver mieux by Daniel Bélanger. As it turned out, Connor also loved both of these albums — and they became central inspirations for Seul au cinéma. The balance of acoustic instrumentation and sampling in Rêver mieux, and the rich chord progressions of Jim et Bertrand, underpinned by melodies you sing at the top of your lungs at concerts or in the car — that’s the artistic path they chose to follow.
Eventually, Bobby and Connor stripped the sound down to its essence: just two guitars and a computer. They wanted to evoke the early 2000s, when acoustic guitar took center stage, while layering in modern touches through synths and sampling. Strings recorded by Antoine Gratton were re-sampled to create a more contemporary sound. They also incorporated ambient sounds captured in cinemas to further immerse listeners in the filmic atmosphere.
Several musicians contributed to the project: Robbie Kuster on drums, Conner Molander on keyboards, Alex Francoeur on flute and saxophone, and Odessa Pagé, Bobby’s partner, on backing vocals.
In many ways, the musical world of Seul au cinéma is a natural evolution of Pearl (which drew on influences like Bill Withers and Jorge Ben). It is Bobby’s dual identity — musical, linguistic, and personal — that gives rise to this singular sound.
Seul au cinéma will be released on September 19, and Bobby has never felt this eager for an album launch. To him, it feels like attending the premiere of his own movie — like watching himself play his own role, navigating the duality of Bazinet and Bazini. He wonders whether the public will follow him on this new journey.
Having long defined himself through his idols, Bobby Bazini now steps forward — stripped down, without artifice — in his own language.
