About the event
Join Canadian Art Pop band Laura Hickli as they tour brand-new music on grief and recovery following a major vehicle accident last year.

LAURA HICKLI (ART POP) Sounds like: Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Weyes Blood Laura Hickli (Mohkínstsis/Calgary) is an internationally touring progressive art pop songstress known for her tightly arranged dreamy soundscapes, exquisite vocals, evocative lyrics, and emotionally powerful performances. The classically trained pianist was homeschooled in a conspiracy-laden religious household where she honed her ability to reflect deeply felt emotions through dynamic, textured, and technical songwriting and production. During the tour of her latest record ‘Both Feet In The World, At Least I Can Stand,' (North Pole Records) Laura and her band suffered a serious motor vehicle accident that left Laura with PTSD and a traumatic head injury. After nearly a year in recovery, she emerges with gripping and exceedingly personal new music birthed during her chaotic grieving process. Hickli has a knack for creating art out of life's ebbs and offering a small gift of resilience to the returning tides. A performer in several award-winning projects, Hickli’s personal works continue to receive radio play on CBC, BBC+, Top Album of the Year awards, and accolades from The Big Takeover, Cups N Cakes and more. Currently preparing to record her new album ‘stranger to myself’ at The National Music Centre and embark on a two-month international tour this summer, Hickli’s developing story offers a fresh and inviting look at what life can be, while carrying the foundations of her spellbindingly intimate, yet explosive brand of dark process-music. www.laurahickliofficial.com // @laurahickli // https://laurahickli.bandcamp.com _____________________________________________ SPACE QUAKER (Soft Alt Rock) Space Quaker is typically a 6-piece, STL-based rock band with fiddle and trumpet fronted by songwriter Robin Harvey. At this show, however, they'll perform a special stripped-down set as a duo: Robin and lead guitarist Noah Jodice. SQ started as a joke band in 2023--a Bill Callahan cover band called The Kill Billahans-- about a year after Robin started teaching herself guitar. Now they play mostly originals and released their first two singles in May of 2024. https://spacequaker.bandcamp.com/album/dream-logic-going-back
_____________________________________________ AMBY ACCARDI (Indie Folk) Amby Accardi is an indie musician from the Midwest. With a background in percussion and jazz, she likes to explore interesting rhythms in her music and has a strong tendency to use 7th chords. Amby plays all of the instruments on her tunes and writes and sings all of her music herself.

_____________________________________________ STOKER (Folkgaze) Stoker is the music project of singer-songwriter Joseph Belsher. Drawing from a number of genres including folk, shoegaze and power pop, Joseph's songs are intimate, dynamic, and full of emotionally charged lyrics.
