Slowcity.ca Open Mic with Slow Leaves, Sean Burns & Lost Country, Emily Rockarts, Caley Thomas, Riches, Austra and PUP

By Will McGuirk

Don’t you just love how a song can grab you and swirl you ‘round the dance floor and you’re not even moving but still on the couch. We love all things slow here but we love love Slow Leaves. Just when you think you are a jaded old coot, a song still holds the power to awaken the youth within, willing to be thrilled so thrill me Slow Leaves thrill me.

“In a sense, I’m preoccupied with the past, perhaps at the detriment of the present. I’m not great at looking ahead. Naturally, I miss certain things and certain people. I guess that’s life.” - Grant Davidson

“I think we can become preoccupied with trying to do someone else's work for them as a means of avoiding our own self-reflection." - Cayley Thomas
