Jessica Pearson and The East Wind (July 26)

Jessica Pearson and the East Wind's live show will first bring you to the edge of your seat, and then to the edge of tears - before spilling over into joy, community, and a sense of sacred, shared power. 

Backed by the impeccable harmonies of Sam Stone and Malia Rogers alongside clawhammer banjo, mandolin, and tasteful percussion, Jessica's storytelling and songs centre kindness and vulnerability while imploring audiences toward a better future for all. Audiences will enjoy versatile Americana stomp-and-holler, upbeat Celtic sing-and-sway, and intimate, high-lonesome folk ballads, replete with singalong choruses, energetic audience banter, and the occasional unexpected party trick.

JPEW's newest song cycle balances complex topics such as gender-based violence and mental health with moments of levity, empowerment, and reminders to embrace the beautiful imperfections that make us unique. Don't be afraid to show up alone; from the minute the first chord plays, you'll be among friends.
