November Concert Details:
December 6,7 Night
Sun
From Rambles: "Night Sun is very hard to
categorize, because they play such a wide variety of styles
that they defy definition. The describe themselves as "what
might happen if a bunch of Canadians pretend to be a Greek
wedding band playing at a Bar Mitzvah in Ireland." Suffice
it to say that lead singer, songwriter and visionary Ellen
Hamilton has her roots in the Northwest Territories of Canada,
with a distinct understanding of living in the land of the
midnight sun, and the struggles of the Inuit people. This
background comes through in her choice of imagery in her lyrics
throughout the band's evolution. "

Alicide consists of three women wielding guitars and a violin
(and a keyboard, but that's harder to wield). Andrea Simms-Karp,
Lesley Hoyles, and Sophia Vincent met at their Arts high school
in Ottawa, Ontario, where they were studying in the Music
program. Deciding that their musical talents would complement
each other, they joined forces first as the duo Alicide (with
Lesley and Andrea), and later expanded to the current trio.
