JUNO-nominated neo-trad quintet Aerialists alchemize their deep roots in Scottish, Irish, and Nordic folk traditions with post rock influences into a sound that’s ethereal yet precise, technical yet visceral. Asserting the belief that a harp can groove like a drum kit, that a fiddle can be as ferocious as a distorted electric guitar, and that traditional tunes are sturdy and flexible enough to thrive in the landscape of indie-rock instrumentation, their adventurous reimaginings of traditional music spiral outward into progressive, electrified soundscapes.
This show celebrates the release of their newest album I Lost My Heart On Friday with an all-night family reunion - friends, roommates, lovers, collaborators, piling into DROM for an electric fiddle fusion jam after the show.
Anh Phung is a shining example of the modern musician: as a child, she earned her virtuosity while sweeping flute contests across Canada, and has since used her mastery of the flute as a compass to navigate countless styles of music, constantly learn new instruments and consistently deliver exciting performances. Not bothered by the conventions and standard limitations of the flute, her powerful musical voice steers her through everything from hip-hop to bluegrass to Bulgarian folk music, and she is the leader of prog-rock tribute band Tullstars and performance art act Hairbrain. Catch Anh Phung on the mainstage at a summer festival facing off with the lead guitarist, or slinking around the basement after-hours at a free jazz club, but blink and she's off chasing the next new sound.
