Event Description

Selina Martin

Imagine Björk and PJ Harvey had a Canadian love child raised on Joni Mitchell. Her sound is raw, honest, and fiercely feminine, with a stage presence that’s pure rock and roll energy.

Internationally acclaimed Canadian touring and recording artist Selina Martin has independently released 5 albums that have been variously described by critics as “intelligent”, “brave”, “masterful”, “must-hear”, “provocative”, “remarkable”, “profound”, “genius”, and compared to Björk, PJ Harvey, Peter Gabriel, St. Vincent, and Talking Heads. “Time Spent Swimming” – her latest album – fuses organic instrumentation, electronic instruments, samples, field recordings, and synths in a buoyant expansion of genres that has been described as “beyond category”. It has received overwhelming acclaim in North America and Europe, and it debuted at number 1 on the NACC charts in the U.S.

Tickets are $25 in advance, and $35 at the door.

Formed in downtown Toronto in 2017, Sam Polley and The Old Tomorrows consists of Tally Ferraro on bass, Gianni Ferraro on drums, Fraser Melvin on electric guitar, and Sam Polley on acoustic guitar and vocals.
