This episode showcases mostly experimental artists who played at Artswells 2017 in Wells, BC.
According to Wikipedia:
- David Bowie, Jim Morrison, and Jimmy Page are listed on Wikipedia's list of occultists
- The Avocado Green Mattress was founded in 2017 by Jeff and Alexander D'Andrea. "Concerned with off-gassing, they wanted a mattress made without petroleum-based polyurethane foams and harsh industrial chemicals that also did not greenwash their product to promote sales. Because they could not find a suitable product, they started Avocado Green Mattress"
- Paul Galvin "created the name Motorola by linking 'motor' with 'ola,' which was a popular ending for many companies at the time, e.g. Moviola, Crayola"

Danielle Knibbe is a Toronto based singer-songwriter whose music is a beautiful mix of folk , roots, and country. She recently released her debut full length album, Some Curious Birds and will soon be heading out to tour Western Canada with it.
Her keen sense of melody draws comparisons to artists such Basia Bulat, Brandi Carlile, and Sarah Harmer, and the stories she tells immediately create a sense of intimacy. She is also joined by Byn Besse and Connor Walsh who provide harmonies, guitar and upright bass to her music.
She will be stopping in to perform at Nancy O's on Sept 5th but until then you can check out some of her tunes here: http://www.danielleknibbe.ca/music/

On August 5th you can head to Shiraz to check out Far From Linear, a small three part acoustic band. They play everything from pop to country, with plenty of both covers and originals.
What began as Demmy G and her wife Renee covering modern country hits, soon bloomed into a colidoscope of new music when they joined up with their friend and fellow vocalist, Olivia. Between the three of them, their harmonies bring out the best in every song.
Let their harmony and rhythm move you while you enjoy delicious Persian cuisine from Shiraz.
