Daisy Van der Wee / Long Call

Event Description

A queer ex-therapist and a relatively tall ex-farmer based in Halifax / Kjipuktuk, Nova Scotia, Long Call is the indie sibling duo Avalon (she/they) and Landen (he/him) Moore. Long Call played their first show in the spring of 2022, and since then they’ve gone on to book, manage and play three national tours, performing to growing audiences in bars, backyards, living rooms, and theatres across the country and at home in Halifax. Sometimes very quiet, sometimes very loud, and with music somewhere in the territory of Big Thief, Bon Iver, and Mitski, Long Call is joyfully, and recklessly, DIY.

Daisy Van der Wee is a singer-songwriter who pairs dynamic live performance with
unassuming lyrical strength and tenderness, making music similar to artists like Perfume Genius, M. Ward, and Marlon Williams. Shifting from powerful cries to gentle invitations, Daisy brings you through the full depth of their experience. In the past three years, Daisy Van der Wee has completed three independently managed cross-country tours, released a series of soaring and intimate singles, and is currently in the midst of an ambitious dual-album project: producing two sets of recordings of the same songs with wildly different arrangements.

The “Little Something to Take the Edge Off” Tour is Long Call and Daisy Van der Wee’s 4th annual tour.
