Friday, February 16th – The Woodensky – Tickets $12 advance. $15 at the door. Doors 9:00pm. Openers TBA The much celebrated Wooden Sky returns to Sudbury for a Winter 2018 tour... The title of The Wooden Sky’s fifth full-length album is an abridged quote from Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel, Dune: “Survival is the ability to swim in strange water.” It’s a phrase that seems especially apt in 2017, as many of us are still reeling from the previous year. For Gavin Gardiner, the frontman of the Toronto-based indie rock band, the way to understand and reconcile these unknowns — from oil pipelines and refugee crises to his own family’s personal history— is through songwriting. “It’s how I filter a lot of things that come in,” says Gardiner, as he walks through the residential streets of Toronto’s Roncesvalles neighbourhood. “For better or for worse, it’s how I deal with things and how I communicate my feelings.” Swimming in Strange Waters is Gardiner trying to make sense of the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pltWX_FHsz4&index=3&list=PLvRNjlCdqPtQXqVfXBIXjb9qlNB2E18Hp Facebook https://www.facebook.com/thewoodenskyfb Twitter https://twitter.com/thewoodensky Website http://www.thewoodenskymusic.com/
