SUMMARY:Kenton Loewen with Jesse Zubot
DESCRIPTION:Centred by his warm and emotional baritone\, Kenton Loewen’s alt/psych/folk debut album is “an explosive listen” (Vancouver Sun). \nOne of Canada’s premier drummers in creative improv (Gord Grdina\, Ken Vandermark\, Mats Gustafsson) and rock (with Dan Mangan + Blacksmith and in the original lineup of Mother Mother)\, the JUNO Award-winner is also a captivating singer-songwriter. His deeply personal songs about obsession\, depression\, and old-school heartbreak take on almost hallucinogenic qualities in collaboration with producer Jesse Zubot. A violinist and sonic shaper unlike any other\, Zubot is known for his longtime collaboration with Tanya Tagaq and film scores like Bones of Crows and Indian Horse. \nPlease note\, Caley Watts was scheduled to be on this bill but her performance has been cancelled for this evening. We hope to present her again at a later date.

SUMMARY:Thanya Iyer + Elisa Thorn
DESCRIPTION:Thanya Iyer \nMontréal’s Thanya Iyer is an enigmatic songwriter whose sparkling experimental pop music embraces mindfulness\, aesthetic beauty\, and the interconnectedness of all things. Iyer’s 2025 release\, TIDE/TIED\, expands on the future-folk of their 2020 Polaris Prize long-listed album KIND. With washes of jazz-inflected pop and ensemble ambience courtesy of Daniel Gélinas’ meditative drumming\, Pompey’s adventurous multi-instrumentalism\, and the celestial harp of Emilie Kahn\, Thanya Iyer builds a layered musical world that Pitchfork described as “a lucid daydream that’s constantly melting at its edges.” \nThanya Iyer Workshop • June 24 • Tom Lee Music Hall\nThanks to the Canada Council for the Arts. \nElisa Thorn \nKnown for her charming off-the-cuff humour and distinctly contemporary use of the instrument\, harpist/vocalist Elisa Thorn draws from indie\, jazz\, chamber pop\, and post-rock to create a meditative\, psychedelic\, and energizing sound that’s all her own. Thorn’s an insatiable collaborator in projects that include Gentle Party\, HUE\, and The Giving Shapes\, but she’s currently focusing on her solo work\, including the 2025 release of her debut album\, xiik. \nCalled “experimental folk for the bathtub\,” Elisa’s intriguing sounds have been found to be equally impactful on sinks\, basins\, and people.

SUMMARY:Pasquale Grasso Trio feat. André Lachance and Andrew Millar
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nPat Metheny called Pasquale Grasso “the best guitar player I’ve heard in maybe my entire life.” It was the kind of endorsement most rising guitarists can only dream of\, but what’s more impressive is that this exceptional player doesn’t sound like Metheny in the slightest. Nor does he follow in the paths of Scofield or Frisell. Born in Italy and now based in New York City\, Grasso’s astounding pianistic technique is informed not by modern jazz guitarists\, but by bebop pioneers like Bud Powell\, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. \nHe’s brought his sparkling\, immaculately balanced tone\, tasteful tinges of stride and boogie-woogie\, deft chordal harmony and stunning single-note runs to interplay with Samara Joy\, Sheila Jordan\, Ray Drummond\, Steve Grossman\, Grant Stewart\, and—for this special performance—a trio featuring André Lachance and Andrew Millar. Lachance is one of the finest and busiest bassists in Vancouver\, known for work with Peggy Lee Band\, Brad Turner\, Chris Gestrin\, and Hard Rubber Orchestra\, while Andrew Millar has established himself as one of the NYC scene’s first-call swing\, trad\, and straight-ahead jazz drummers since relocating from BC to Brooklyn back in 2015.
