Suzie Ungerleider and Abigail Lapell have long shared a deep mutual admiration for each other’s songwriting and artistry. After years of talking about sharing a stage, they’re finally making it happen in a special co-headlining performance at Aeolian Hall on October 22.Suzie UngerleiderAfter 23 years away chasing dreams in Toronto, three-time JUNO nominee Suzie Ungerleider (formerly Oh Susanna) returned home to Vancouver, drawn by its salt air and towering trees. Her new album, Among the Evergreens, is a deeply personal journey through time, tracing her path from youthful dreams to the wisdom of experience.“It’s about being like a tree with all those rings around you, the layers of your life telling you who you are and where you've been,” she says. Imagery of the outdoors, of green valleys and trees shedding their leaves, infuses this new collection and it is garnering high praise as one of her best.Uncut Magazine describes Among the Evergreens as “thoughtful, luminous, expressive” and featured it as Americana Album of the Month for June 2025. Mojo Magazine’s four-star review glowed that these 10 new songs “are about as sweet as folk-Americana comes.”Suzie brings her stories to life with her captivating voice and raw honesty. Inviting you into her world through poetic lyricism and mesmerizing melodies, she shares her experiences from teenage-hood to motherhood. “Here I am making songs back among the evergreens, a prodigal daughter, who is now a mother, asking, who was I then and who am I now, where have I been and what did I learn along the way?”Expect an evening of heartfelt music and vivid storytelling that lingers long after the last note fades, leaving you among the evergreens, dreaming and remembering.Abigail LapellToronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with Anniversary, an evocative collection of original love songs. The album balances upbeat earworms with elegiac ballads, ultimately emerging as an earnest celebration of commitment. Anniversary was recorded at 200-year-old St. Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, co-produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker, who helped shape the project’s spooky, resonant sound while lending his voice to a few spellbinding duets.Dekker and Lapell assembled a stellar cast of musicians to support Lapell’s powerhouse vocals, piano, harmonica and signature fingerstyle guitar. The core band includes Dan Fortin on bass, Jake Oelrichs on drums, and Tania Gill on piano, harpsichord and organ. Rounding out the ensemble’s sensitive, orchestral country-jazz arrangements are Rebecca Hennessy (trumpet), Rachael Cardiello (viola), Michael Davidson (marimba and vibraphone) and Joe Lapinsky (pedal steel).Lapell has garnered three Canadian Folk Music Awards (English Songwriter of the Year in 2023 and 2020 and Contemporary Album of the Year in 2017), hit number one on Canadian folk radio and reached a staggering 48 million + streams across digital music platforms. She tours widely across Canada and the U.S., performing at festivals like SXSW, Americanafest, POP Montreal, Philadelphia Folk Festival, Dawson City Music Festival, Edmonton Folk Fest and many others.
