FIVER & THE FIVER TROIS
\nFiver with the Fiver Trois is the kind of band that can make a room go quiet and then make it levitate: country music bent through art-rock nerve, folk storytelling, punk urgency, and fearless improvisation. At the centre is Simone Schmidt, a singular songwriter, vocalist, researcher, and guitarist whose songs turn buried histories, private reckonings, and political ghosts into music that feels immediate, alive, and impossible to box in. Their label describes Schmidt as continuing to innovate in the country and folk traditions \u201cwith humour and gravity,\u201d while the new Fiver Trois lineup balances \u201ctight songs with sprawling improvisational passages\u201d delivered with \u201cdynamic energy and palpable affection.\u201d For anyone walking in cold, expect songs with hooks, grit, mystery, and a live-band electricity that moves from intimate confession to full-body release.
\nSchmidt has collaborated on recordings and live with Destroyer, Fucked Up, the Lonesome Ace String Band, free improvisers, and many more; Fiver recordings have earned four Polaris Music Prize nominations, and Schmidt has even been called \u201ca Canadian PJ Harvey\u201d by Canadian Rolling Stone. Fiver\u2019s new full-length, Fiver Trois presents Cleaning House, arrived July 10 on You\u2019ve Changed Records after a long creative clearing-out, gathering \u201cnagging melodies,\u201d \u201cmolten feelings,\u201d and \u201cwilting tunes\u201d into a record that renews Schmidt\u2019s already remarkable catalogue. Word of mouth has reached us regarding Fiver\u2019s amazing live performances. We are truly excited for this show.

ASHLEY SHADOW
\nAshley Shadow is the solo voice of Vancouver songwriter Ashley Webber, and her songs arrive like late-night transmissions: smoky, patient, melodic, and quietly devastating. For new listeners, think dusky indie folk and slow-burning roots-rock with the emotional directness of a great ballad and the atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest after dark. AllMusic called her debut \u201can aching\u201d record with an \u201cengaging, gritty mix of acoustic and electric, strong and vulnerable,\u201d while Pitchfork described her work as \u201ca gentle testament to resilience in the face of emotional hardship.\u201d Her voice can feel intimate enough for a small room and big enough to stop one. A longtime presence in Vancouver music, Webber was formerly of The Organ and Pink Mountaintops, has sung with Bonnie \u201cPrince\u201d Billy, and is the twin sister of Black Mountain and Lightning Dust\u2019s Amber Webber. Her collaboration with Bonnie \u201cPrince\u201d Billy on \u201cDon\u2019t Slow Me Down\u201d underlines what makes her music so affecting: Shadow builds intimate worlds where vulnerability becomes its own kind of strength.
