Event Description

PHILIP JOHN LEWIN
Born in Cortland, NY, Philip John Lewin moved to Toronto in the early 1970’s. He made two records of original songs ranging from psych-folk to jazzy soft rock, melodic and vivid in their lyricism. “Am I Really Here All Alone?” and “Diamond Love & Other Realities” are absolute classics of underground 70’s Canadiana, too raw to be welcomed into the square circle of CanCon providers upon their release. With original copies now fetching in the hundreds, both records have been reissued internationally yet remain relatively undiscovered here at home. Enjoy this rare chance to hear Lewin play songs from his rich catalogue on piano and voice, accompanied by Janice Gittings on guitar and voice, including material from the recent archival recording “Real Classic”. RIYL Ted Lucas, Cat Stevens

SANDRO PERRI
A music maker originally from Toronto who currently resides in PEC. With over two dozen original releases in solo and group projects (Polmo Polpo, Off World, Glissandro 70), he has also appeared on hundreds of recordings as producer or studio engineer. 3x long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize, his songs have been nominated for a SOCAN songwriting award and appeared on HBO, Netflix and AppleTV. Exclaim crowned his recent work an “outsider pop masterpiece” while Pitchfork called it “visionary in both content and form”. He will play selections of new song material with special guests.

SING LEAF
Featuring an experimental blend of folk-rock and psychedelic pop that incorporates electronics, Sing Leaf is the project of the instrospective, innovative songwriter David Como. Sing Leaf has released 4 full-length albums and a handful of EPs, primarily with UK label Tin Angel Records.
