[CANCELED] Gemma Laurence, Alice Bradley, and Night Walks (Maddie Shuler)
THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO THE IMPACT OF HURRICANE HELENE. REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED AS SOON AS WE ARE ABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND GRACE DURING THIS UNPRECEDENTED TIME. ALL AGES SEATED SHOW LIMITED NUMBER OF PREMIUM SEATING TICKETS AVAILABLE GEMMA LAURENCE Gemma Laurence is a Brooklyn-based indie folk singer-songwriter from the coast of Maine. Categorizing herself as “Sapphic folk,” Laurence has been named an “up-and-comer” in the queer music scene by NPR Music and starred on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Having grown up on the coast of Maine and the hills of Oxfordshire, Laurence’s time on both sides of the Atlantic influenced her unique sound: a fusion of foot-stomping Americana with a hint of English folk. Crafting a lush soundscape of rich acoustic textures, dreamy harmonies, and found sounds, Laurence’s timeless tracks call her listeners home to the people and places left behind for new beginnings. Her album Lavender is out now on Better Company Records. ALICE BRADLEY Alice Bradley is an Asheville-based singer-songwriter and musician whose original songs weave together imagery from the natural world and potent storytelling to evoke life’s wild twists and turns. Alice sees songwriting a way to grow words past the point of logic into catharsis. Her songs often pair a meandering storyline or musing with imagery and sensations that arise from memories or the subconscious. While Alice’s original songs are mostly written on guitar, she also plays the banjo and is inspired by old-time fiddle tunes. She is thrilled to be releasing her second album, Whistle on the Breeze, in September 2024. NIGHT WALKS Night Walks is the solo project of Maddie Shuler, a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter based out of Asheville, NC. While being primarily employed as a hired player in touring bands- Maddie views Night Walks as an opportunity to re-explore where it all began, serving as a reminder of the importance of creating just to create.
