Summer Music: Abigail Lapell

Summer Music: Abigail Lapell

There’s a party in the garden! Monday night the kitchen is closed and we’ve decided to stir up some fun out on the lawn. Spread out a blanket or snag a seat for an evening of live music outdoors with Canadian songwriter Abigail Lapell. Cash bar. Kitchen Closed. Market snacks available. $15/person. Limited tickets available. *In case of inclement weather, show will be moved indoors.

About Abigail: Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with Anniversary, an evocative collection of original love songs. Produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker, the album was recorded at 200-year-old St Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Dekker helped shape the sessions’ spooky, resonant sound and also lent his voice to a couple of spellbinding duets.

“A disc of pure, impalpable beauty, weightless notes and melodies that pierce our hearts…. And the young woman, prey to a vagueness in the soul that she sublimates in a handful of magical songs, to offer us a twilight album, somewhere between Gillian Welch and Laura Veir.” – Rolling Stone
