Events Calendar

Steve Gunn is a New York-based guitarist and songwriter who’s been at the vanguard of guitar-oriented experimental, psych-folk and indie rock for over a decade. On 2025’s, Daylight Daylight, his first singer-songwriter release since 2021’s Other You, Gunn uses negative space as effectively as he uses loping melodies and quietly observational lyrics. “Listening to it can feel like staring into an expertly arranged terrarium; it’s remarkable how so much beauty can take up so little space” (Pitchfork).

Toronto-based improviser and saxophonist Karen Ng has established herself as a unique musical force both nationally and internationally, performing with some of Canada’s most prized artists such as The Weather Station, Andy Shauf, Do Make Say Think, and many more. One of Canada’s leading improvisers, “with a breathtakingly wide musical scope” (Musicworks), she also collaborates regularly with ad hoc ensembles in the wider improvising scene across Canada, in Europe, and in the US.

Solo sets will be followed by a short duo collaboration and artist talk about form in music, presented in association with IICSI at the University of British Columbia.
