Events Description
The National Music Centre (NMC) is excited to announce the return of the CIBC Summer Series at the King Eddy from July 31 to September 19, featuring a lineup stacked with some of the most exciting talent lighting up Canada’s music scene.
Merging old-school ‘90s hip-hop influences with new school swagger, Bijaan will perform on August 22 with Femi, a Nigerian-Canadian artist who leans towards the melodic side of rap.
Taking the stage on August 23 is SHY FRiEND, an alt-pop project that rose out of a group of classical and jazz musicians, celebrated for their emotive soundscapes and captivating live shows; and Sunset Sabotage, a genre-blending thrill ride through the many moods of alternative music.
Boundary-pushing Toronto pop artist Dallas Rodin is up next on August 28. She’s joined by Edwardson, a rising alt-pop singer-songwriter quickly gaining attention as one to watch.
On August 29, Nigerian-Canadian rapper Polo Sho takes the stage with his sharp lyricism, passionate delivery, smooth melodies, and purpose-driven mindset. He’ll be joined by the infectious grooves and intimate narratives of songwriter/producer/musician Pat Clifton.
Purveyor of lush, nostalgic pop Clea Anaïs performs on September 4 with opener (un)decided, the eight-piece neo-soul and hip-hop collective.
On September 9, Aladean Kheroufi, the Edmonton-by-way-of-Algeria musician, will share his soulful and idiosyncratic tunes, alongside Former Lovers, a band of prairie pals hailing from Prince Albert and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, whose driving rhythms and infectious hooks are sure to leave a lasting impression.
Performing on September 18 is Laura Hickli, the progressive art-pop artist known for dreamy, tightly-arranged soundscapes and powerful live shows. Also joining the bill is Kindé, whose music brings together her gospel roots, and R&B, Afro-fusion, and hip-hop influences.
Closing out the series on September 19 is folk-country outfit Brett Cassidy & the Corduroy Cowboys, alongside openers Education Party, an electronic folk ensemble whose spirit-stirring sound strikes a deep emotional chord.
