LV15 presents Julianna Riolino | Laughing | Andrew Smith Band | Host: Irma Gerd at the Rockhouse
Doors 9pm / Show 10pm / $25 / 19+
Julianna Riolino (ON) knows how to capture and highlight beauty before it fades. On her debut LP, ‘All Blue,’ Riolino reflects on her own past, the memories of pain, healing, and love strewn through it. The songs focus morality and the stretch of time, seeping naturally into Riolino’s Americana-indebted songwriting, resulting in a golden and fluid debut.
Blending past and present musically represents Riolino’s own experience as well, the songs written over a period of years, their meanings picking beyond that stretch and pulling lessons forward. And in that process, her philosophical lyrics bring that complexity forward to the listener in surreally sweet melodies, pouring growth and healing directly through the ear and into the heart.
‘All Blue’ is out now on You’ve Changed Records.
What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? Laughing (QC) are Montreal-based rock n' rollers who take cues from some of the greatest pop songwriters of the past five decades. Counting past and ongoing memberships in Nap Eyes, Monomyth, Faze, Human Music, and Fountain among their ranks, their debut album Because It's True is an honest attempt at inviting you in on the cosmic joke. Cross-stitched material and temporary ego sublimation serve them well in their pursuit of the holy grail: a perfect song.
Andrew Smith Band (NL) is a group composed of 6 musical pieces including; telecaster guitars, pedal steel, fiddle, fender p-bass, and an acoustic drum set. What they have fashioned is a soundscape of jangly, twangy, emotional, alternative country music that can sometimes sound like a million bucks and a handful of applause. They have a brand new set of songs from a debut full-length LP and a gained appreciation for writing lyrics that stray from the typical tropes of country music. If you grant them a few minutes of your time, they could show it all to you!
Irma Gerd (NL) is the queen of the Atlantic Canadian Drag Scene. Hailing from Season 3 of "RuPaul's Canada's Got Real Drag Housewives of Her Majesties Penitentiary All Stars 69", she's here to look good, make you laugh, and drink all the gin and tonic they have at the bar.
