Weekends in Kensington Presents: Emily Triggs
2022-08-14 12:30 - 14:30 UTC | Alberta
Following @emilyvtriggs widely accepted release ‘When Guinevere Went Under’, Triggs is busting down walls that confine an artist to expectations with her sophomore album ‘Middletown’. Triggs has truly come into her own stepping out as a solo artist and has embraced the spotlight including performances at Vancouver and Calgary Folk Music Festivals. Possessing an instrument evocative of folk artists from the ‘60s and ‘70s, Triggs’ alto is bright and clear with a comforting classic and contemporary in equal measure; classic surely as a result of her folk family, contemporary due to surrounding herself with some of the countries best musical collaborators. The youngest of five growing up in a mix of English and French culture, it was in living room jam sessions with local and visiting musicians that Emily learned the history and art of lyrical composition and performance. Catch their performance outside of @trappedcalgary on Sunday, August 14 from 12:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Weekends in Kensington Presents: Thomas Thomas Band
2022-08-28 12:00 - 14:30
Calgary indie ensemble @thomasthomasband is the result of the creative collision of the sincere singer-songwriter Shannon Thomas and the curious indie-rocker Thomas Englund (Bell Tower, Beta Boys) into a nostalgic ensemble worthy of even the swankiest high school proms. Their dreamy indie idiosyncrasy has drawn comparisons to Born Ruffians, Wallows, and Dayglow. Catch their performance outside of @trappedcalgary on Sunday, August 28 from 12:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
