Event Description

The Wilderness celebrate the release of their new album "Strangers I Used to Love" live at Blu Martini; with special guests The Codas and Redfox!

The Wilderness
The Wilderness is the lifelong dream of six rock n' roll devotees based in Kingston, ON. Together, they bring the piss and vinegar of young DIY road-dogs, the lyrical eloquence of Canada's folk heroes, and the musical grandeur of your dad’s favourite arena-rock band to any stage they can find. Think the belting poetry of Sam Fender, the lush vocal harmonies of Hozier, the driving guitars and soaring saxophones of Bruce Springsteen, and the effervescent choruses of Noah Kahan, held together by an unmistakable bond of brotherhood and a shared love of rock n' roll. A musical tapestry of truest Canadian fashion, the Wilderness sounds like nostalgia, feels like camaraderie, and looks a lot like a band you should watch out for.


The Codas
The Codas are a Rock & Soul band hailing from Kingston, ON, which formed originally as a duo featuring Braden Elliott (Vocals/Guitar) and Angus Fay (Drums). The band was founded on a common interest in Psychedelic, Folk Rock, and Blues Rock and has since sprouted into a 4-piece rock outfit which showcases all of these influences. Their debut EP, 'Chasing Sun' - a four song project produced by Rob Baker (of The Tragically Hip) and Nyles Spencer (Bathouse Studio) - offers listeners a glimpse into the beginnings of this exciting new band.


RedFox
RedFox writes honest vulnerable songs that leave listeners with a desire to hear more of their unusual yet familiar sound. The band got started in 2017 when bluegrass duo Jono Townsend and Tim Loten joined with singer-songwriter/classical violinist Daphnee Vandal. After adding bassist Sam Robinson and drummer Sam Neumann the band’s sound was complete.
