Great Lake Swimmers bring their acoustic-driven folk rock to an adults-only evening. Expect Tony Dekker on lead vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica, with Erik Arnesen adding banjo and harmonium to the band's layered sound. Their music has drawn comparisons to Nick Drake, Iron & Wine and Neil Young, giving the show a rootsy, introspective character.
The Canadian band's catalogue stretches from their early independent releases through albums like Ongiara, Lost Channels and the recent Caught Light. With the current touring line-up on upright bass, drums, keyboards and guitar, this is a chance to hear songwriting grounded in the Canadian folk tradition.
