Concert Listings Roundup #328

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.


Gig of the week:

Riparian Acoustics/CMC Presents (feat. Chik White / Gayle Young) / Canadian Music Centre 2019-11-21 (Thursday) [FB event]

Last year's concert series at the Canadian Music Centre, curated by Nick Storring in his Riparian Acoustics promotional alter ego, was such a success that they brought him back for more, and this new season begins with this very fascinating concert. Mixing two outside-the-box sonic thinkers and social connectors, this night brings together East Coast experimental jaw-harp virtuoso Darcy Spidle and instrument inventor/nature sounds re-imaginer Gayle Young. Do note that Spidle will also be giving a free talk about his artistic practice at the CMC on Wednesday afternoon.
