Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Join us for an intoxicating night of Folk-Americana Rock music at Studio Records (formerly Joe's Apartment) on Saturday August 1st! Doors open at 7:30 PM. Tickets- $10.

8 PM- Coldwater Road- "Rich in harmonies and not afraid to drive hard, Coldwater Road is folk storytelling with a reason to dance." (www.coldwaterroad.com)

9 PM- Echo Nebraska- On Echo Nebraska's debut EP, Send The Ships, the Vancouver-based band creates a rustic acoustic sound that might've been birthed had REM and Father John Misty spent a night together in a forest. Ranging from the gentle new country of "Nice Philosophy" to the riffier rock of "Out of Time" and lilting harmony-heavy first single, "Hey Allison," the record is cohesive while still being diverse.

10 PM- The Battlefield- Los Angeles, CA's The Battlefield mine the American songbook to craft deeply moving, elegantly executed portraits of our shared humanity embracing the beauty but never shying away from the ugliness. Formed in June of 2013 by three talented singer/songwriters: Matt Ducey, Jenny Weaver and James Addison, The Battlefield speaks to the conflicts in our hearts & minds as well as the daily struggles of modern life. This world is a Battlefield and we're in it together. Join The Battlefield for their debut Vancouver performance in celebration of their new album, Tipping Point. (www.wearethebattlefield.com)

Their influences include Wilco, Big Star, Tom Petty, the Wallflowers, Spoon, and the sweet sultry sounds of Luther Vandross. (www.almostbear.com)
