C.R. Avery @ Spacecraft Brewery – October 5^th, $20

Avery’s live show is a must-see spectacle that includes poetry, inventive songwriting, major harmonica skills, beatboxing, theatrics and more. His attitude is that of a troubadour in the traditional sense – a multi-talented, musical nomad delivering a riveting and diverse experience.. Avery is an artist who seems to feel at home on the road, singing songs and reciting words that tell deeply human stories of triumphs and rock bottoms. One thing is certain: you will never see a show like his.

Whitehorse @ The Grand – November 3^rd, $30

Since their debut in 2011, Whitehorse has evolved from magnetic folk duo to full-blown rock band. In truth, Whitehorse is never fully either one or the other, but an ever-evolving creative partnership that challenges both artists to explore new instrumental and lyrical terrain with each project. Together, Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland’s searing Americana noir sensibility is distinguished by guitar wizardry (and instantly recognizable tone) and magnetic harmonies. Now, the Juno winning duo returns to the early days of electric blues with The Northern South Vol. 2 – the second installment of a project that melds the grooves and melodies of the original selections with the band’s steamy, swampy, squalling approach.

Christmas with Good Lovelies @ Fraser Auditorium – December 5^th, $35

Still merry after all these years, Good Lovelies return with their 13th annual Christmas tour with shows across Ontario. What better way to celebrate the season than with classic holiday and winter selections, timeless and original material polished to a warm and welcoming glow? This year also marks the 10^th anniversary of Good Lovelies’ highly popular Christmas album Under The Mistletoe. To celebrate, the trio will be releasing Evergreen, a new collection of seasonal favourites, classic carols, and original Christmas songs. Accompanying Good Lovelies (Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough, and Susan Passmore) is their band of merry musicians, including Steve Zsirai on upright bass and Mark Mariash on drums. The six-piece will have you humming along, laughing, and full of mirth by the show’s end.
