The Silt & Castlemusic in Concert
| Jul ’09 |
| 11 |
| 8:00 pm |
Toronto-based experimental folk trio The Silt are able to both astound with their skill (their drummer plays bass and drums at the same time!) and use it for more improvised forays. They are the true meeting of pop and experimentalism, most notably on soulful album opener “Come Back To The Willow”.
When Toronto’s Jennifer Castle, performing under the name Castlemusic, stepped out onto the Sidetrack’s stage with just her electric guitar in hand, she was an unknown act on the night’s bill. Replacing the AWOL Will Kidman, Castle started the evening off slow and steady with a series of tunes that smoldered with emotion. Castle’s sparse, sometimes shaky guitar work provided the perfect complement to her ardent vocals as she built songs from whispers into raging storms, pounding out massive sounding chords and then pulling back just as quickly.
Apple Crisp presents a show featuring both The Silt and Castlemusic at The Artel on 11 July. Concert starts
at 8pm.
