Sarah Jayne Riley débarque à Montréal dans le cadre de sa tournée estivale pour une soirée intime, chargée d’émotion et d’authenticité, dans l’ambiance chaleureuse du P’tit Ours.
Premières parties :
Mary-Kate Edwards L’autrice-compositrice-interprète Mary-Kate Edwards (iel) bouleverse par vagues émotionnelles grâce à un récit poétique et complexe. Basée à Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, Edwards tisse des instrumentations oniriques et des voix influencées par le jazz au fil de ses chansons autobiographiques. Élevée par un conteur et une professeure de piano, Edwards unit ces dons pour créer des compositions à la fois éthérées et évocatrices.
Drea Lake L’interconnexion naturelle entre la beauté du monde qui nous entoure et la création de paroles et de mélodies inoubliables a toujours façonné notre culture, et la chanteuse/auteure-compositrice Drea Lake est directement liée à cette tradition.
Influencée par la pop folk, le jeu en fingerstyle et le neo soul, elle est une voix dynamique qui s’impose depuis deux ans sur la scène pop/folk canadienne.

Opening the night:

Based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, Edwards weaves dreamy instrumentations and their jazz influenced vocals throughout their autobiographical music. Raised by a storyteller and piano teacher, Edwards interlaces these gifts together to create their ethereal and evocative compositions.
Drea Lake The inherent intertwining of the beauty of the natural world with the creation of unforgettable lyrics and melodies will always shape our culture, and singer/songwriter Drea Lake is directly connected to that tradition.
Influenced by pop folk, finger style guitar and neo soul, she is a dynamic new voice within the Canadian pop/folk music scene over the past two years.
