Doors at 7pm, showtime 8pm Born and raised in rural Massachusetts and currently living in Brooklyn, NY⁠—via Colorado and then Philadelphia—Eliza Edens weaves together disparate influences of people and place into her work to create mesmerizing sonic tapestries with guitar and voice. With a love for tinkering with alternate tunings à la Nick Drake, a curious harmonic ear from years of childhood classical piano lessons, and an ever-expanding affinity for words and stories, Edens’ songs build a kaleidoscopic world that documents the parallels between hope and heartbreak. The resulting sound is a diverse palette of guitar-based, experimental folk-rock centered around Edens gently cradled voice and brimming at the edges with pockets of sonic whimsy. After cutting her teeth touring the DIY and folk circuits around the Northeast for the past few years⁠—playing everywhere from West Philly basements to folk mainstay Club Passim—Edens is currently putting the finishing touches on a new sophomore album. // My Tree is an eclectic musical collaboration that straddles the boundaries of R&B, indie rock, and jazz. When algorithms are decoding more music into homogeneous playlists, My Tree challenges this norm, seeking to bring music and people of disparate worlds together. Praise for Where the Grace is (2021) expresses the music as "brimming with bops bulked-up on heavy instrumentation" and "well-intentioned, slow-burn rumination on the gripes of American social and economical plight" (Flood Magazine). Featuring acclaimed alto-saxophonist and flutist Caroline Davis in a different role as a vocalist, and keyboardist Ben Hoffmann, this collaboration features songs that seek to uplift, while at the same time pointing to the current challenges we face. My Tree is the soundtrack for the inevitable ushering in of the new world order. // Ellie Jackson - delivering determined vulnerability and emotional exploration through guitars, stories, amplification and a careful balance of harmony and dissonance. $12 adv/ $15 at the door (advance sales until 3pm day of show, then available at the door).
