Spring s’Wells | May Melt Away

We hope you’ll join Island Mountain Arts, the Sunset Theatre and SARRAS (located in the former ‘The Amazing Space’ Gallery) on May 20th for an event that may just melt your heart. Spring s’Wells: May Melt Away, sees the audience split into groups, moving between three Wells venues, making up one evening of supporting independent Canadian music from friends old and new. Bring your kind listening ears and your grooving shoes for this one!

For this event, patrons will move between 3 performance venues, taking in the fresh air of the night in between each of the sets. If mobility is a concern, please get in contact with Elyssia Sasaki. (info@imarts.com).

Genevieve Jaide is a northern blooded songstress with stories to tell. These stories will leave your foot tapping, face smirking, and transcend you into a state of almost awkward bliss. Her booming sweet jazzy voice captivates the audience and brings the room to a state of presence that is rare to witness. Her songs are lyrically heavy, brutally honest and uncomfortably vulnerable, you won’t want to miss a word. For this set, she’s joined by Brock Patch.

Sail Cassady came alive while reading ‘on the road’ by Jack Kerouac in 2012. The adventure, art and imagery held within the parameters of a single book birthed the idea that the same concept could be experienced within a song or a band. Signed to Surkeus Records 2021, watch out for Sail Cassady’s next record in late Summer 2022.

St. Arnaud is a little bit of everywhere to everyone. Working alongside his brother and fellow creative, the YouTube animator GingerPale, St.Arnaud found a loving home on YouTube and Spotify with legions of eager listeners and was swept up in dozens of tour dates across Canada, Europe, and the USA. His debut album was a DIY tour-de-force of fun-loving melodies overlaying themes of death, loss, and anxiety. His new album, 2022’s Love and the Front Lawn continues the sad lyrics/happy melodies framework with flavours of off-the-wall rockers Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers, Kevin Morby, and Andy Shauf.
