SUMMARY:Mo Kenney
DESCRIPTION:“I am demented and all my friends are scared of me\,” Mo Kenney sings on a beloved\, unreleased staple of her live shows. “I am an alien waiting for my family.” Connection—the rare times we have and hold onto it tenuously\, the lack or loss of it\, the search for it\, and even the creeping feeling that it may be unattainable—is a defining theme of the Dartmouth\, Nova Scotia songwriter’s body of work. It’s no stretch to imagine that it’s maybe the main reason her fans are so passionately drawn to her as an artist and performer\, either. In a world where connection becomes increasingly scarce\, there’s a quixotic stubbornness in Kenney’s songs\, an insistence that forging a bond is worth all the unavoidable pain and heartbreak and self-destruction that might be wrought from it. And there are few songwriters who are able to create such unforgettable melodies while communicating just how rough the ride can be.\nThroughout Kenney’s own rough ride\, from troubled teenagerdom and teaching herself Elliott Smith songs in her small-town bedroom to battling with her demons on 2017’s eclectic and brash The Details\, music has remained constant. At 17\, she stunned Maritime rock ‘n’ roll legend Joel Plaskett with a couple songs recorded at her friend’s high school\, eventually leading to a long-running collaborative relationship between the two. In 2012\, she released her self-titled debut\, a powerful first impression that melds her extraordinary knack for nuance—the dreamy\, award-winning folk tune “Sucker\,” for example—and a clear bent toward sounds more incendiary and ambitious that shows up on the driving kiss-off “Déjà Vu” and her cover of Bowie’s “Five Years\,” which explodes with an interstellar crescendo worthy of the Starman. She expands that vibe on In My Dreams\, venting existential frustration by almost gleefully urging the listener to blow her head off on the hazy pop of “Take Me Outside\,” dabbling in spacey prog rock for the stomping “Mountains to the Mess\,” and stylishly sowing sorrow on the title track over subtle\, ‘60s-tinged piano\, convinced that she’s hallucinated an absent lover. \nKenney pathologically mines the most shadowy corners of herself in order to surface with something unflinchingly honest\, but The Details found her exploring uncharted territory. It traces her own strange\, devastating\, and ultimately hopeful trip through the trials and tribulations of booze-fuelled breakdowns\, clouds of depression\, and disintegrating relationships. It sounds as fraught as the subject matter demands. “On The Roof” seethes with suffocating anxiety and punchy guitar; the jangle of “Unglued” is deceptively sunshiney\, the way someone might force a smile as they’re falling apart; and “Feelin’ Good” offers some real redemption in its weird\, soothing sparseness\, but feels tentative\, as though Kenney is aware things could still unravel at any moment. \nIt’s this willingness to bare so much of herself—not all\, mind you—on record and on stage that draws in fans from all over the world\, people far and wide who feel like aliens themselves\, looking to connect with anyone or anything. And that illuminates a comforting truth: sometimes the fear that you don’t belong in this world is the most human feeling you can feel. With a touring history that’s seen her play her tunes for swaths of the United States\, Europe\, Australia\, and the UK\, the future will find Kenney continuing to tour as much as possible\, expanding her sonic reach here on Earth and perhaps beyond\, beamed up somewhere deep in the cosmos among other beings like her. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Garnet Rogers
DESCRIPTION:In a darkened bedroom\, lit only by the amber glow from an old floor model radio\, two young brothers aged 6 and 12 lay in their beds\, listening to the country music broadcasts from the Grand Ol’ Opry\, and practiced their harmonies. Two years later\, the youngest one was playing the definitive 8-year-old’s version of “Desolation Row” on his ukulele. He soon abandoned that instrument to teach himself the flute\, violin and guitar.\nWithin ten years\, and barely out of high school\, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full-time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music. \nSince then\, Garnet Rogers has established himself as ‘One of the major talents of our time”. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer”\, Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence – close to six and a half feet tall – with a voice to match. With his “smooth\, dark baritone” (Washington Post) his incredible range\, and thoughtful\, dramatic phrasing\, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music\, like the man himself\, is literate\, passionate\, highly sensitive\, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail\, his songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart” (Kitchener Waterloo Record). An optimist at heart\, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs\, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again. \n“Garnet Rogers is capable of awe-inspiring and unpredictable stuff – and that includes more than just music” \nResolutely independent\, Garnet Rogers has turned down offers from major labels to do his music his own way. \n
