EDITH is a new folk project based out of the GTA. The recently created alter ego of Sarah Fazackerley, an otherwise blues/rock singer-songwriter who has performed in events over the years such as Mariposa Folk Festival, 94.9 The Rock's Generation Next Series, and many others, taps into the beauty of modern alternative folk and embellishes it with ethereal guitar tones and honest lyrics.

Meet the Musicians:

Aaron Cockburn is a musician and poet currently based in Ottawa. His work travels between the mundane the mystical, the subtle stream of consciousness and the disarmingly direct. His tools are his dynamic voice, his skillful guitar playing and his song writing and arrangements. He has played all over North America, in small, intimate venues and large theatres. This event will see him accompanied by Chris Pond on upright bass and Angela Schleihauf on oboe and english horn. Latest self-produced bedroom record can be listened to here

Erika Lamon and the singer-songwriter duo from Toronto, Tay Sera (https://taysera.bandcamp.com/releases), will be performing live at the Lodge, bringing some highlights on this summer night.

ERIKA LAMON
Erika Lamon is a soulful folk-pop singer-songwriter based out of Kingston, Ontario. Her first steps onto the music scene were taken when she was accepted into the Franco-Ontarian artist residency, Ontario Pop (now Rond Point), in 2013. Since then, her music has taken her all the way from North America’s largest Francophone music festival, to the more intimate settings of the festivals, pubs and cafés of her hometown. 
In 2016, she released her first single, “Strangers Know”, a moody and shimmering pop song infused with Dido and Jewel undertones. Her self-titled debut EP, released in October 2017, was met with the enthusiasm and appreciation of listeners. While many at the release party were singing along to their personal favourites, some were discovering Erika’s artistry for the first time, and leaving that night with the feeling that there were “stages and shows much bigger” in Erika’s future.

TAY SERA
Based in Toronto, Ontario, Tay Sera is a quirky acoustic duo straddling the line between folk-pop and jazz/blues. Taylor takes a sweet yet sultry lead on vocals, with Justin's powerful harmonies to
bring both original and cover songs to life. Their passionate, energetic performances began in the summer of 2016, with an
impromptu campfire gathering in Ontario's cottage country. They've since been busy writing, recording, and touring throughout Ontario and the East Coast, playing shows at cafes, breweries, and private events, including weddings, fundraisers, and corporate functions.

Opening for Tay Sera at The Dock on Queen in Toronto! Event page here. More info TBA soon on the page. 

Looking forward to this singer-songwriter circle with Ray Harris and Pat Johnson! 3 artists on the stage simultaneously. Sharing original songs and stories. Discussing the muse and craft of songwriting. This evening will be hosted by Pat Johnson, our hope is engage and inform the audience in the process of entertaining them! Click HERE for more info! 

Doors: $10/night

The musical lineup for this benefit show will include: Erika Lamon, Paula Wood, Dennis Clark, Ricky Brant, and Savannah Shea. The comedy lineup will include: Al Babcock, Heather Hurst, Kevin Irwin, Derek MacFarlane, Taylor Norris, among other special guests. 

There will be raffles, prizes, 50/50 and more! Come out in support of this touching event for an even more touching and important cause. 

I'm so excited to be performing as one of the three performers in the Tuesday night showcase! Tickets are $50 and include entry to both nights (Monday and Tuesday). 

"The Music Symposium runs a course of two evenings beginning Monday November 13th with an emphasis on US Major Labels Then and Now. Also showcasing 3 local acts each evening. Aspiring artists and their support networks, Engineers, Producers, Mixers and overall Music fans." 

I'll be 1 of 3 artists performing at The Mansion that night! More info to come. 

Erika Lamon will be having her self-titled EP release party at Musiikki Café on Saturday, October 21st 2017! The EP, a long awaited first for the singer-songwriter, is a collection of folky, mature and soulful pop songs accumulated during the past 3 years. Opening the show will be local singer-songwriter, Justin André. Erika Lamon and guitarist Max Nolet are also really excited to be joined by drummer Martin Laforest and basist, Alexander Tikhnenko! 

LINEUP

9:30PM: Erika Lamon and Max Nolet
Special Guests: Martin Laforest (drummer) and Alexander Tikhnenko (bassist)

Hard copies of the EP will be on sale for $5 at the event!

A little about the Spitfire Café: "Cafe, food and music, with a retro twist! Now fully licence, we are always looking for some tasty specialty coffees to make or new cocktails (nothing can beat a Dark & Stormy or a Shandy!). We are specialized in vegan and vegetarian food with a great selection of gluten free products. Ask us about our delicious grilled cheeses (we do vegan ones!), homemade soups, desserts and coffees." 

I'll be playing a joint show with Tay Sera at Musiikki Café Sept. 1st 2017! :) 

Tay Sera: In 2016, Tay Sera began recording a selection of original songs for her debut EP (release date: March 31st 2017). "Fix It" is a lyric to the song No Upgrades, but it encompasses the overall theme of the EP: fixing what's broken, moving on from what you could've fixed but didn't, and taking the risk on something that may leave you broken because even broken hearts can be fixed.
