A Vancouver folk-Americana singer-songwriter is marking the release of her new album with a concert in 黑马磁力 this weekend.
Suzie Ungerleider will be performing at the Bez Arts Hub on Friday, June 20, with her band and a special guest, Matt Kennedy (Headlong Hearts).
Earlier this month, Ungerleider released "Among the Evergreens", which is her 11th studio album, and her second since retiring her JUNO-nominated moniker Oh Susanna.
Ungerleider describes it as her most personal album yet, and she will share many of the songs at the Bez show.
Written in Vancouver 鈥� the city where she came of age and where her musical voice first took shape 鈥� "Among the Evergreens" is what she calls both a homecoming and a reckoning - a record about finding roots after years of reinvention.
The title nods to the physical landscape of her upbringing, but also to the deeper emotional terrain she鈥檚 navigating now: identity, belonging, memory, and forgiveness, Ungerleider explained.
She hadn鈥檛 intended to make a record journeying through important moments in her life, but when she came to look at the collection she had amassed for the release, she realized that a narrative arc had formed, of songs set in the past, and moving into the present.
It reflects how she sees the creative process 鈥� 鈥渢hat you discover at the same time as writing.鈥�
With her new album out, Ungerleider said she is excited to bring the songs to life on stage, including the Bez concert and a hometown show in Vancouver the night before, on June 19, at The Cultch. She has also confirmed a number of dates this fall for shows in Ontario and Quebec.
The Bez Arts Hub is located at #120-20230 64 Ave. Tickets are available online at.
