THE WOODEN SKY + EVENING HYMNS

Event information

THE WOODEN SKY
Shifting from lilting, fingerpicked folk ballads and rustic, sepia-toned country twang to skipping indie rock and contemplative ruminations on days gone by, Toronto's THE WOODEN SKY create a secret world where not-quite-forgotten memories return as ghosts.
On this rich tapestry of atmospheric sounds and salvos, the past is never far behind. Their reverence-turned subversion of accepted notions in Americana-based music have made them tireless innovators, consistently finding new wrinkles within a genre as broad as it seems ageless.
Their third excellent album "Every Child A Daughter, Every Moon A Sun" gets released in the UK this week on Loose Records (Dawes, Deer Tick, Danny & The Champions etc)
“The folky undertones get under your skin and start pulling up all sorts of shit you never realized was even there.” – Death + Taxes Magazine

EVENING HYMNS
Canada's EVENING HYMNS were last seen in this country wowing crowds on the Timber Timbre tour and their new record Spectral Dusk, covers very personal issues, and takes Evening Hymns to the next level, musically and lyrically, from their acclaimed debut record‚ Spirit Guides (2009).
EVENING HYMNS captures the spirit of moments, of friends around a bonfire on a foggy beach, the crunching of snowshoes in the silence of a winter night and memories of tribal boys growing up with pellet guns, fishing rods, and handmade forts.
Fiercely emotional and beautifully crafted, Evening Hymns finds a rhythm for modern life.

BILLY VINCENT
Outlaw folk rock quintet with a cinematic quality set midway between old school spaghetti and Cormac McCarthyesque gore. Chanelling the spirit of Strummer through the likes of Cohen & Cave, and taking influence from the very streets they inhabit to dreams of far off lands, Billy Vincent bring tales of love, lust, ambition & murder. Dark as they are bright, grand & restrained in equal measure, it's a heady & gripping cocktail they christen 'Dirty Folk'.
Billy Vincent's current release the "King Island Coyote" EP will be followed in summer with another sparkling release on Something Nothing Records.
"An extremely impressive debut single…a brilliantly unique piece of folky pop…. pure indie pop joy…" – Altsounds
