2023 8:00PM doors -- music at 8:30PM ••• 21 AND OVER $15 in advance / $20 at the door Lore of the Shadow People Tour Duff Thompson [co-headlining] duffthompson.com folk, pop, and garage rock Steph Green [co-headlining] stephgreensongs.com country noir, garage rock pop Indianna Hale instagram.com/indychil alt country, dream pop, indie rock Duff Thompson -from New Orleans, LA -Duff Thompson is a songwriter, musician, and producer whose music is a swampy blend of folk, pop, and garage rock. As a songwriter, he has a rare ability to distill emotional complexity into simple, sincere songs that instantly hit the listener on a visceral level. As a producer, he draws from influences that span across decades and genres, merging them into a cohesive and organic sound recognizable as his own. Thompson’s dark, alienated, and swaggering sophomore release, Shadow People, is the first of a duology of albums recorded during a late summer Montreal heatwave in 2021. Created over two weeks of intensive recording, Shadow People comprises 10 of the 20 tracks captured during these sessions. Thompson rented out the studio space at Sud-Ouest Recording Service and produced and engineered the album himself, bringing along with him a 16-track reel-to-reel and songwriter/musicians Steph Green and Kyle Taylor as his backing band and assistant engineers. The album also features contributions from Mat Davidson (Twain) on strings, pedal steel, and bass clarinet. Whereas Thompson’s 2020 debut album, Haywire showcased his versatility and folk influences, Shadow People is a more cohesive collection of songs that push his music further into the world of garage and indie rock. Shadow People is out October 27th on Mashed Potato Records. Thompson started out playing music at a young age, forming and playing in bands until 2016, when he shifted focus to being a solo artist. It was around this time he found himself in New Orleans where he would spend the next few years recording both himself and those around him in the folk/songwriter community he found himself in. It was also around this time that he co-founded Mashed Potato Records, which he continues to co-run with Steph Green in Canada. Steph Green -from New Orleans, LA -Steph Green's music is for those who fancy the art of songwriting, depicting a lonely world illuminated by strangeness and beauty. Her sophomore album, "Lore" is a series of vignettes that immerse the listener in dreams and nightmares of the West. It's a world of towering storm clouds, desert moons, and diamond skies. The natural and supernatural collide, wailing spirits wander lost highways, and shapeshifting starling murmurations soar overhead of restless loners. Green produced and recorded the album to a 16-track reel-to-reel at home, creating a distinctive and otherworldly sound with weeping steel guitar, washy organ, and ghostly vocal layering reverberating from a distant dimension. "Lore" is out October 20th, 2023, on Mashed Potato Records. Indianna Hale -from San Francisco, CA -Indianna Hale is a multi instrumentalist singer songwriter based in San Francisco. "Imagine Cate le Bon baking a sweet-but- not-too-sweet birthday cake with Calvin Johnson, wearing fuzzy warm sweaters and slippers and sipping home-fermented strawberry wine. This music sounds like that to me." ~ Bill Baird |
