BIO In an increasingly artificial world, singer-songwriter Madds Buckley is staying undeniably human. An RIAA Gold-certified artist with more than 2 million monthly listeners, Buckley pairs clear vocals with unexpected melodies and a deep-rooted instinct for storytelling. Her music sits at a unique intersection: honest, accessible, and highly personal storytelling that often incorporates themes found in anime, video games, and narrative-driven media. Even at its most fantastical, her music never loses sight of what’s real. Following My Love Is Sick, Buckley continues to evolve with a new run of releases, including “Overboard,” “Concept Without Proof,” and “Human to You,” ahead of her forthcoming album Simple Binary and a Complex Phrase(out October 16). Expanding her sonic and thematic scope more than ever before, the album interrogates the artificial to get to the heart of what’s most real: loving, losing, and persevering through the pain. **$1 from each ticket will be donated to Conscious Alliance TICKET EVENT INFORMATION: This event is UPSTAIRS This event is ALL AGES All sales final, NO refunds or exchanges, events are rain or shine.

Capturing light is not easy: ask any outdoor photographer. In order to capture the perfect shot, one has to be ready for fragmentary shifts in illumination. In that spirit, Caught Light is Great Lake Swimmers' ninth album, and perhaps their most nimble: be prepared, don't overthink, act fast. Founder Tony Dekker has always been akin to a wildlife photographer, often choosing to make records in unique surroundings with a connection to Ontario history. This time, he holed up in the Ganaraska Forest, between Peterborough and Port Hope, with producer Darcy Yates (Bahamas) and engineer Jimmy Bowskill (Blue Rodeo). Their goal was to tap the warmth of early '70s folk/pop/rock, whether it be the cozy sonic sweater of Gordon Lightfoot's classic work, or the gentleness of underrated American songwriter Dory Previn. Dekker made everyone listen to John Martyn's 1971 album Bless the Weather before the session. For the first time, Dekker ceded control to a producer, albeit one who had once been the bassist in Great Lake Swimmers (2007-08). Yates chose the studio and the backing band, which included veteran drummer Gary Craig (Bruce Cockburn, Jann Arden), who Dekker calls , "rdquo" -> the Jim Keltner of Canada." Tracking was completed in three days, Nashville-style, with only two days of overdubs, including Colleen Brown's backing vocals. Compare that with 2023's Uncertain Country, which took three pandemic-stricken years to make. Caught Light was captured in the shortest amount of time Dekker had ever spent making a record, and it's likely to be the one with perhaps the longest impact. That's because Caught Light is not just the most fully realized Great Lake Swimmers album in years, but it also leads off with two of Dekker's strongest singles. , "rdquo" -> One More Dance Around the Sun" is an open-window, summer-driving song to accompany a golden-hour trip through the backroads of your childhood hometown. Dekker himself moved back to the Niagara area during the pandemic, with his partner and two young children. , "rdquo" -> I spent the first half of my life trying to get out of the small town where I was born and raised, and I'm spending the second half getting back there," says the songwriter who lived in Toronto his entire adult life until now. , "rdquo" -> It's an ode to the familiarity and the joy in that and the repetition of seeing the same faces and places, knowing all of that very well. It's also important to feel grounded in community, to feel the power of that in a specific place, keeping one's moral compass fixed in the right direction."

Wednesday, November 11 Strawberry Guy * Jean-Luc Eldenwood $35 / All Ages / Doors: 6:30pm / Show: 7:30pm When Alex Stephens (A.K.A. Strawberry Guy ) self-released his debut single in 2018, he was merely doing it out of a love for songwriting. What he wasn’t expecting was millions of streams and an avid worldwide fanbase. A one-man impressionist, painting majestic soundscapes, Strawberry Guy blends truthful lyrics with lush arrangements to conjure new emotive worlds. Inspired by composers of the Romantic period, or Debussy, Ravel, and other classical artists of the 1800s, his wonderland moves like a Monet painting where arpeggios dance between meadows of dazzling dynamics and dramatic key changes. Imitating nature’s effect on emotion, like 70s songwriters, or the fantastical soundtracks accompanying vibrant scenes in the Japanese animated Studio Ghibli films and video games, landscape is brought to the fore. Monet’s picturesque Meadow at Giverny features as the album’s accompanying artwork – perhaps a reminder of the rural Welsh countryside views through his childhood home’s window.

VIP ticket includes: - GA Standing Ticket - 30 min duo acoustic soundcheck experience + Q&A - limited edition signed poster - Early entry to show - Early access to merch Hovvdy's Will Taylor and Charlie Martin have occupied a distinct corner of the modern-day indie landscape for more than a decade. Having evolved from their understated slowcore beginnings in Austin, Texas, they're now seasoned veterans of the scene. Across their first five studio albums, the duo established their trademark sound of twangy indie rock, 2000s-inspired pop-country, and emotional acoustic ballads with strong pop sensibilities. Their last two records saw them processing life's most intense emotions more openly than ever before, from declarations of love in its many forms on 2021's True Love, to grappling with loss and personal change on their latest self-titled album, Hovvdy. But the songs of Big World have them trading in overt emotional directness for subject matter that leans enigmatic, contemplating their place in the world through a mosaic of songs that sees the band at their most secure and self-aware.

**Mother Soki** is among a generation of new artists forging their paths and creating music that attracts fans seeking a soul connection. That creativity led her to sign with independent label Mom+Pop early in 2025. A bit farther back in her trajectory, Mother Soki wasn't even clear about how to pursue music. Carving her way through adolescence with a fierce artistic drive, though, the Minneapolis-based musician discovered her passion for making music while attending college in Chicago. Attempting to pursue other forms of art and avoiding what was her true calling, Mother Soki says, “I realized it was far more fulfilling than any art medium I had tried (and I’ve tried a lot), from beginning to end, and even after. Something about the process of music felt so natural to me, even when I did not know how I was doing it, I was just doing it.” Now immersed in her passion for music, Mother Soki gravitates toward the dreamy textures of Dream Pop and the sonic nostalgia of the ’90s. Drawing daily inspiration from her surroundings, she channels her creativity through classic influences: The Sundays, Imogen Heap, and Cocteau Twins. Her sound blends modern interpretations of vintage synths with heavy guitars and airy, spacious vocals—creating contrasts that shouldn't work, but somehow do. Mother Soki makes the unexpected feel seamless.
