Nicole Ariana fuses hypnotic Alt-RnB/Pop vocals and moody electronic production, backed up by a killer band live. Her music exposes a young woman longing for lost love in dark times, trying to fill the void in dim corners and old memories. Her debut album Crybaby released in 2022.
Devarrow, our opening act, the creative persona of Canadian folk artist Graham Ereaux, resides in rural coastal Canada as a songwriter and music producer. It's been five-years since his last release (his sophomore, self-titled album with Paper Bag Records), yet Devarrow has been constantly immersed in songwriting and music making during this time.
Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists, from contemporaries like Chris Cohen, Fleet Foxes, and Whitney to classics like Neil Young and Townes Van Zandt, Devarrow crafts a sonic landscape that is both familiar and innovative. The result is a captivating listening experience that transcends traditional folk boundaries, inviting listeners on a journey through time and memory.
Devarrow challenges conventional narratives around art creation with a clear message: he aims to dismantle the notion that art must emerge from a tortured and introspective place dictated by emotions. Instead, he advocates for making art quickly and for the sheer joy of it, without compromising artistic integrity. This perspective is Devarrow's stance on art creation, challenging the notion he feels he adhered to for too long. The light-hearted and joyful relief ushered in by “Kickin'” just sets the tone for more to come this year. Stay tuned.
