An Evening of Cosmic Country and Bluesy Soulful Rock with David James Allen and Kojak
Prepare to be transported as two musical forces converge for a night of genre-bending groove. David James Allen, the prolific songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, delivers a sound that feels like every cool record you've owned. Rooted in a soulful blend of JJ Cale and The Band, with the funky essence of Daptone and Bill Withers, Allen’s music journeys into emotional realms inspired by Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, and Harry Nilsson. His latest album, By The Summertime, continues his exploration of poetic storytelling, drawing from influences like Canadian poets Al Purdy and Nelson Ball.
Backing Allen is Kojak, a powerhouse band known for their unique blend of hard rock riffs, trading guitars, and an airtight rhythm section. With a sound reminiscent of classic and contemporary rock, roots, and blues, Kojak’s energy adds a dynamic edge to the show. Together, they create a transcendent mix of cosmic country and folk infused with blues rock and the psychedelic atmospheres of Pink Floyd.
VALLEY GIRLS (Ottawa, ON)
Valley Girls is comprised of indie folk darlings Paige Kedrosky and Abigail White. The acoustic duo showcases emotive songwriting and sweet harmonies, with heavy emphasis on yearning, nostalgia, and revenge!
RILEY BURNS (Ottawa, ON)
Canadian born singer/songwriter Riley Burns has his take on how the world works, not necessarily accurate but unique nonetheless. Dive into my brain through my songs.
