STATUS/NON-STATUS - (Guelph, ON):
Set time: 11:10pm - 12:00am
Status/Non-Status is the new name for the ongoing musical work of Anishinaabe community worker Adam Sturgeon (Nme’) and his longtime collaborators (fka Whoop-Szo). The band spent a decade carving a path through Canada’s DIY scene before leveling up thanks to 2019’s acclaimed long player Warrior Down (You’ve Changed Records). This album confronted Sturgeon’s complex family history and identity and was long listed for the Polaris Music Prize among numerous other accolades. Today, the band emerges renewed, with more stories to share …Thunderous and ground-breaking, harmonious and generative—a Status/Non-Status show envelops audiences in an emotional weather-storm that dances conscientiously between anger and discipline, frustration and hope.

ZOON - (Hamilton, ON):
Set time: 10:10pm - 10:50pm
In the Ojibway language, the word Zoongide’ewin means “bravery, courage, the Bear Spirit.” It’s no wonder then that Daniel Monkman adopted Zoon as his musical moniker. The Hamilton-based musician has spent the better part of his 28 years channeling that strength to overcome such adversities as racism, poverty and addiction. Bleached Wavves is the first true document of what has been dubbed “moccasin-gaze,” a tongue-in-cheek nickname for the amalgamation of his shoegaze influences with traditional First Nations music.
