Come kick off Summer with a special night of songs & music.
Caroline Brooks:
There’s a wall, in your family home. It’s next to an old stairway that leads to an attic you never go into, but the wall is alive and lined with photos. Each one a cherished memory locked in time, waiting to be brought down, dusted off and held in the hand of a storyteller intimately connected with the finer points of every detail. Caroline Marie Brooks is just such a storyteller. On Everything at the Same Time, the first solo outing from ⅓ of Canadian harmony trio Good Lovelies, Brooks walks you through a wall of stories, taking moments from her life down and carefully recounting the feeling of the sun and the wind in the trees from days past and present.
Over 11 tracks, Brooks leads a vivid journey through feelings familiar to our hearts. Gentle guitar work laying a backdrop for Brooks’ sweetly divine vocals, densely layered with wurlitzers and mandolins and steel guitars to evoke feelings of memories both lost and found. Lead single “Vitamin” evokes a sun-drenched nostalgia, albeit a nostalgia happening right in front of you, one that you can live in and hold onto. Even at the end of the record, with a cover of Roger Miller’s classic “Oo-De-Lally” (from Disney’s Robin Hood), Caroline Marie Brooks has crafted an album that feels wholly familiar and distinctly her own – an instant classic waiting to be discovered and have its stories told.
Songs like “Night Drive” draw up the feeling of a night’s journey alone, just your headlights and the sky illuminating your endless path. “I can’t always be there” is a love letter to a child growing up before your very eyes and wanting to hold on to the memories of every perfect day. Even the instrumental “Song for Fred” is evocative of a feeling, a memory. It’s a place that we draw from in the moments when the future feels insurmountable.
Everything at the Same Time is a pandemic record only in time, recorded in the midst of an age when sometimes living through our memories of easier days may be all that we have. It asks only that we live and be present in the moment and to remember that though the days are long, the years are all too short. The inevitability of change looms in the distant, and Caroline Marie Brooks challenges you to hold on to the gift of the times we are in.
Ben Kunder:
Occupying a rare but accessible musical space between folk, pop, and Cali-style Americana, Toronto singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ben Kunder chronicles the ordinary and the extraordinary in luminous detail. With three highly acclaimed studio albums (2019’s Searching For the Stranger, 2018’s Better Human, and 2015’s Golden) and multiple international tours and festival appearances achieved to date, Kunder has amassed a devoted following while establishing himself as a sought-after collaborator and electrifying live performer. A committed social justice advocate, father to two young kiddos and compassionate member of the human race, Kunder consistently yields exquisite musical insights.

A stop a The Cottage on their way to The Deep Roots Festival.
With a splash of Nilsson eccentricity – Marla & David Celia are back on tour with their second album “Indistinct Chatter”.
With duet vocal harmonies in the foreground, they dive through progressive chord changes, elaborate arrangements and round it all off with well-crafted ballads. The lyrics circle around our lives in the present, during times of overproduction, corporate greed and today’s disposable culture, capitalism and the desire to see change. The album title is a reminder that often the whisper is far more effective than the scream.
Music brought Marla & David Celia together when they met at a festival in 2015. They later shared the stage for other shows in Germany and naturally started accompanying each other. Their
chemistry was magnetic and soon David was producing Marla’s first record at his studio in Canada. He also released his latest solo album during that time which lead to their continued performances all over Europe.
Not only did their vocal harmonies blend warmly, but so did their love for one another and they began writing and recording music as a duo. Their debut Daydreamers (2018) has taken them from L.A. to Russia and England’s famous Glastonbury Festival. In the last 6 years they have played over 800 shows together.
