SUMMARY:Ben Caplan The Flood Tour
DESCRIPTION:Ben Caplan The Flood Tour\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: https://app.ticketowl.io/aCS6dbYjvdJ0dlx3/event/aEvNnFpd36LuunTf\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBen Caplan has always defied easy categorization. With his deep\, commanding baritone and electrifying stage presence\, he merges the raw energy of diverse folk traditions with modern innovation. His music isn’t just performed; it’s experienced. Now\, with The Flood\, Caplan takes his artistry to new depths\, crafting an album that meditates on endings\, resilience\, and the art of carrying wisdom forward. Scheduled for release in May 2025\, The Flood is both timely and timeless. “The world is ending for someone all the time\,” Caplan muses. “But endings aren’t absolute. Cultures\, ecosystems\, civilizations—they evolve\, adapt. This album is about finding the pieces that survive and carrying them forward.” Musically\, The Flood is a collision of past and future. Melodically tilted towards the folk traditions of Eastern Europe\, the album reinvents these sounds with timeless lyrics and modern production. Clarinet melodies soar over pulsing synthesizers; grand pianos give way to sequenced rhythms. The result is an intricate sonic tapestry—both ancient and urgent. With nearly 2\,000 performances across 27 countries\, Caplan’s live shows are known for their raw energy and emotional depth. The Flood is designed with the stage in mind—its seamless transitions and dynamic arrangements promise an immersive concert experience. “Music holds space for people. My hope is that this project allows listeners to confront the grief of endings\, but also find joy in what’s ahead.” \n\n\n\n\n\nWith Special Guest\, Horse Funeral. Horse Funeral is music performed by Chris Bose\, writer\, multi-disciplinary artist\, musician\, curator and filmmaker. \nWith over 20 years of experience in documenting and amplifying Indigenous voices through digital storytelling. Chris’ background includes extensive work in film production\, sound recording\, and visual arts\, with a focus on capturing authentic narratives and preserving cultural heritage. \n\n\n\nTICKETS: https://app.ticketowl.io/aCS6dbYjvdJ0dlx3/event/aEvNnFpd36LuunTf

SUMMARY:Brass Camel Live with Special Guests The Houses (Where We Grew Up)
DESCRIPTION:Brass Camel Live\nwith Special Guests The Houses (Where We Grew Up)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBRASS CAMEL IS BACK! \nSaturday December 6th\nDoors 7pm Show 730pm \nMinors Welcome Accompanied by an Adult \nTickets $20 Advance / $25 at the Door \nTicket Link: https://app.ticketowl.io/aCS6dbYjvdJ0dlx3/event/aQZpmDTynwKe3xBU\n\nVancouver’s Brass Camel is a rock band that defies labels\, fusing deep-pocket funk\, face-melting prog\, and massive-harmony art rock. Their musicianship and work ethic have earned endorsements from Sabian\, Rotosound UK\, and Vater\, and since releasing their debut album Brass in 2022\, they’ve played over 150 shows\, including three national Canadian tours\, major festivals (Between the Peaks\, Starbelly Jam\, Wapiti)\, and stages like Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom\, Vogue Theatre\, and a Toronto headliner at the historic Longboat Hall. In 2024\, their cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s Please Please Please on Musora’s Covers Challenge went viral\, drawing 700\,000+ views. Their sophomore album Camel (spring 2024) brought international press\, reaction videos\, and steady LP sales. While touring\, the band began recording a third LP at Chalet Studios with Kevin Comeau of Crown Lands co-producing. Mixed by legendary Terry Brown (Rush\, Hendrix\, The Who\, Blue Rodeo)\, the upcoming spring 2026 release marks a bold leap in songwriting\, distilling Brass Camel’s road-forged sound into something entirely their own.\n\n Also appearing for a special Rob’s Birthday appearance\, The Houses (Where We Grew Up) will open the show. The Houses are a Kamloops Indie Rock & Pop Duo\, blending in elements of shoegaze and noise rock. Described as “if Radiohead decided to have fun with loud amps again”\, “Canadian Slowgaze” and “noisy pop with idiosyncratic quirks”.\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors 7pm Show 730pm \nMinors Welcome Accompanied by an Adult \nTickets $20 Advance / $25 at the Door \nTicket Link: https://app.ticketowl.io/aCS6dbYjvdJ0dlx3/event/aQZpmDTynwKe3xBU

SUMMARY:John Wort Hannam
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:30pm Show 7:00pm Minors Allowed Accompanied by an Adult \nTICKETS: https://app.ticketowl.io/aCS6dbYjvdJ0dlx3/event/aVrQ54Q9YITv42Pi\n\nJohn Wort Hannam has been on a roots-fueled troubadour journey for over two decades\, spinning songwriting gold from the chaff of the lives he has encountered and those within his fertile imagination. After twenty plus years he shows no sign of slowing down. He’s gaining both momentum and a wider audience\, winning two 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards for both Solo Artist and Contemporary Album of the Year. Audiences and critics hear something special in his narrative\, lyrically driven songs. Effortlessly mixing rich and clear timbered vocals with lyrics that tug at the heart\, his sound is both unique and familiar. He’s released 8 full length recordings and has a few feathers in his hat for his effort that included a Juno nomination\, three Canadian Folk Music Awards\, a coveted Kerrville\, TX New Folk Songwriting Competition win and numerous other Canadian Folk Music Award and Western Canadian Music Award nominations.
