Incredibly talented players. They can literally play any genre and they fuse them liberally.

There’s at least one JUNO AWARD among them – should be more.

In their own words:

“The music of 13Go has a spirit that is the antithesis of all that is dark. It is guitar driven Jazz Fusion [with Rock, Heavy Metal, Funk and more] that will put a smile on your face!”

Kim Ratcliffe – Guitar
Justin Abedin – Guitar
Aubrey Dayle – Drums
Ian deSouza – Bass

13GO’s highly evolved musical gymnastics will seriously tickle your brain. Patrons come in for a drink, not knowing who’s playing, and stay for the music…

EVANGELINE GENTLE ~ Debut Release Tour

“As a child I thought becoming a female country music superstar, long blond curls and all, was my inevitable fate,” Gentle explains via press release. “Somewhere along the way I internalized a lot of messaging about my queerness as being something that would hold me back, something that made me inherently less gifted and valuable as an artist, that I wasn’t enough for the industry and my spirit got broken. Each song on this record is a landmark on the journey toward re-establishing this spirit. I dream like a child again and though I have long since reconciled with my 11-year-old self that becoming a country music superstar is not in the cards for me.”

“… The rich country tone to “Sundays” might put “country music superstar” back in those cards, but whatever the space they create for themselves, Gentle’s debut album is evidently just the beginning.” ~  HG, CBC

Born on the Northeast coast of Scotland, Evangeline’s family lineage tells all. As a descendent of the Codona Circus family, they have live performance in their blood and were given an unequivocal name for the stage too. Queer, and passionate about social justice, Evangeline believes in the good-nature of people and our capabilities of growing together.

At only 23, Evangeline has already garnered acclaim:

• Best Emerging Artist at the 2015 Peterborough Folk Fest

• Best Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2015 Wire Awards

She’s supported notable artists such as Donovan Woods, Basia Bulat, Matt Andersen, Terra Lightfoot, and more. Her debut self-titled album is set to be released by COAX records on September 13th, 2019.

Join Evangeline Gentle and her band at The Painted Lady tonight October 25th as they tour their debut release this fall.

Evangeline shares tonight’s bill with the very special Gillian Nicola.

GILLIAN NICOLA

gilliannicola.com

Hamilton’s Gillian Nicola took an unusual route to becoming a Folk/Americana singer-songwriter: trained in classical voice, Nicola spent her teens gigging in a classic rock cover band, singing Janis Joplin and Led Zeppelin before launching herself into alt-country when she began writing songs.

Dried Flowers, Nicola’s wise and stunning debut full-length album, follows 2016’s critically acclaimed EP No Place To Call. The songs for Dried Flowers began to take shape as Nicola recorded demos with Robyn Dell’Unto, with whom Nicola co-wrote the album’s first track, “Ashes.” “‘Ashes’ is about a friendship that’s falling apart and being able to stand my ground and stand up for myself,’” Nicola says.

At Dell’Unto’s recommendation, Nicola connected with producer John Dinsmore (NQ Arbuckle), and the two clicked instantly. “When I went to see the studio we ended up chatting for a really long time. He plays with a lot of people I love, so he always knows where I’m coming from” Nicola says.

Most of Dried Flowers was recorded with Dinsmore at Toronto’s Lincoln County Social Club. Centred around Nicola’s chameleonic vocals – at one moment with a hint of tobacco in her voice, the next outright rocking – strummed and finger picked guitar, and versatile, melodic songwriting, Dried Flowers features Nicola’s core band, bassist Bruce Scavuzzo and drummer Justin Han, along with Dinsmore (banjo), Drew Jurecka (string arrangements), Aaron Goldstein (pedal steel), Gord Tough (electric guitar), Rosalyn Dennett (fiddle), Emily Rockarts (keys), and Alyson McNamara (backing vocals).

In early 2018, Nicola headed to the Banff Centre to participate in its Singer-Songwriter Residency. During those three weeks Nicola wrote roughly half the songs on her new album, with guidance from mentors Kim Richey, Lynn Miles, Kevin Welch, and more. Through these mentors, Nicola found a new level of honesty and vulnerability that she hadn’t yet approached in her songwriting.

Nicola also took advantage of the residency’s recording facilities to collaborate with other songwriters in the program, such as Mike O’Brien (Sin & Swoon), Fats Kaplin (John Prine, Jack White), and Chris Luedecke (Old Man Luedecke), on “New Light” and Rockarts, McNamara, Miranda Currie, Rebecca Emms, Sarah MacDougall, Kim Beggs, and others on “She Stays Silent,” a powerful #MeToo anthem.  “’She Stays Silent’ just exploded out of me,” Nicola says. “It was one of the fastest songs I’ve ever written, though I don’t know that’s a good thing; it was inspired by my own experiences and the stories we hear all too often.” “New Light” and “She Stays Silent” were produced by the legendary Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire).

A true album, the songs on Dried Flowers are about relationships, friendships and family history (a visit to Nicola’s grandmother’s birthplace, Brentwood, Essex, inspired album highlight “Woodman Road”) as well as the life of a touring musician (“Coming and Going”) who is content to spend a night at home alone, FOMO be damned (“Night Comes to Call”). “They are all about self-discovery in different ways,” Nicola says, “about coming into my own.”

Nicola’s songs are often built around open and alternate guitar tunings that allow her to throw music theory out the window. With nominations for the Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award, Toronto Independent Music Awards and Hamilton Music Awards, Nicola has toured Canada’s east and west coasts, and has shared the stage with some of Canada’s best songwriters, such as Amelia Curran, Tom Wilson, Terra Lightfoot, and Lori Yates.

Engaging in her community is just as important to Nicola as performing. Nicola teaches voice and guitar, volunteers for Girls Rock Camp Toronto, sits on the City of Hamilton’s Music Advisory Sub-Committee, hosts an open mic night, and runs a monthly songwriters round at Toronto’s The Painted Lady.

Dried Flowers was released on May 3, 2019 (Independent).
