Experience a night with soulful Graven, and the energetic banjo-funkers Glacial Erratic.

Glacial Erratic: Banjo-funk and Ontario’s electrifying party band. From iconic radio personality and author Jeff Woods (Q107, Records and Rock Stars): “Glacial Erratic is, per Oxford, ‘A rock or boulder that differs from the surrounding rock,’ and no truer words spoken. Prog/jazz/twang/funk/funny, Glacial Erratic bring to mind Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver meets other good-time weirdo vibes that make for a trippy listen on the hifi, and a good time live in concert. Nicest people too. Book em, Danno.”

With a stand-up comedian for a lead singer and a tapped-in band of life-long jammers dishing out hypnotic grooves, Glacial Erratic gets people up and dancing quick and then hits them with clever, relatable, hilarious lyrics.

Graven: With 24 albums, EPs and singles under his belt, Nepean, Ontario-born Matty (Graven) is a passionate wordsmith of song who wears his heart on the sleeve of his melodies. Graven’s newest self produced album “Always Everything” came out in July 2024 and has been his most streamed and downloaded to date. It debuted at #15 on the NACC streaming charts. Recorded mostly in his own basement studio and partially at Raven Street studios in Ottawa, the 8 songs soar softly and sweetly with some heavy layered cinematic soundscapes and overtures, focusing on the societal pressures of relationships. Graven’s last album Simple Complex (2021) was recorded at Fang Studios in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and mixed by Joel Plaskett. Bouncy, jangly and thick with chunky acoustic strumming and fuzz layers, SC charted across many college radio stations in Canada and the USA and was #3 on CKCU FM’s top 50 albums of 2022 (and he was also nominated for a FACES Ottawa award for “Country Artist”. )

Whether solo, duo, trio or with his magical 5 man band (dubbed The New Band), Matty’s performances are raw, entertaining and warm. He has shared stages and opened for acts such as Jim Bryson, Sloan, The Killjoys, Steve Poltz, Danny Michel, Sarah Harmer, Elliott Brood, Kathryn Calder (New Pornographers), Great Lake Swimmers, Melissa Payne, Stephen Stanley and Ron Hawkins (Lowest of the Low) and many more. Graven always tries to create a highly accepting and inclusive community and his music has become a safe-haven for anyone and everyone who wants to be their real-self without judgement.
