Sofa Sundays will be moving back into the Art Gallery of the Avon River Heritage Museum for the Fall. Join us October 16th for performances from Isaac Vallentin and Blue Lobelia. Music starts at 1pm. ‘Artisans in Action’ will also be taking place in the Shipyard, with live demonstrations starting at 12pm.
Blue Lobelia is the solo project of K'jipuktuk (Halifax) based multi-instrumentalist, Rachel Bruch. She blends classical and indie-folk influence to create ethereal string arrangements under a rich soprano voice. Blue Lobelia's debut album Perennial (2016) is “…an ebb and flow of sound — sometimes a sparkling brook, sometimes a tidal wave...". The release was supported by three cross-province tours, with radio play on CBC and showcases at Maritime festivals such as Evolve, Paddlefest, Flourish, and NSMW. In 2019, Bruch released her first full-length album, Beneath all Bloom (2019), named "2019’s Best Album" by The Coast. Deeply steeped in themes of dreamscape and motherhood, it has been described as the auditory equivalent of, ‘walking through an enchanted forest’ or ‘a daydream you can dance to’. A peak career moment took place just weeks before the first lockdown, performing alongside Dave Gunning, Owen Steel, and Jennah Barry as part of Winter Warmer's 2020 Songwriters Circle. Throughout the pandemic, Blue Lobelia has been gently writing and recording new music, including the album, Folk Songs & Broadside Ballads released by Big Turnip Records (2021), and her latest single and music video, Holding on must always lead to letting go (2021). Her new record, 'Resilient Moon' (May 2022) de-centers the use of a loop pedal in order to create space for folk-centric guitar playing and unfettered string arrangements.
Isaac Vallentin is a songwriter and producer based in Pictou, Nova Scotia. He has toured extensively in North America, Europe, and Asia, and has released music through Record Centre Records, E-Tron Records, and MIDI International.
