Join us to celebrate Alanna’s birthday with a night of great music and good vibes. Featuring the exceptional Leanne Hoffman, brand new songs and cake, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
Alanna Matty is a musician and producer originally from Toronto, now living in Halifax NS. Perfectly blending bedroom pop with indie folk, Alanna’s music has a way of being both incredibly personal and instantly relatable, a recipe that tends to cast a spell on audiences with its sonic empathy
Leanne Hoffman performs a tightrope walk between the sensual immediacy of pop music and poetry’s revelatory nuance. Using the swirling melodies and glitzed-up production of Top 40, the Nova Scotia-based multidisciplinary artist builds tension between soundscapes primed for pure pleasure and lyrics that address the interconnected relationship between desire and despair.
Her latest release, The Text Collector is a marked departure from her 2019 award-winning album What Remains and was recently nominated for an East Coast Music Award for Pop Album of the Year. Produced by Erin Costelo and Hoffman herself, The Text Collector deconstructs poetry and pop music, rebuilding the pieces into a listening experience even richer than the sum of its parts.
