Thu, Feb 8th, 7-9pm, Concert – Wildwood’s Tanyss Nixi & Dave Johnston, Classic Outlaw Country artists from the Prairies

Looking for a soundtrack for your next heartache, or maybe your last shot at redemption? What if your whole life has been leading up to Laverne, the debut album from Edmonton’s Wildwood? Hear what happens when these fireballs of many a barroom stage collide with smart song writing fueled by an intuitive knack for classic country cadences and pitiless hooks. Singer-songwriters Tanyss Nixi and Dave Johnston lead a crack rhythm section through future truck-stop jukebox classics (“Useless Torch”), tattered balladry (“Shatter”), dance floor hoe-downs (“Rich People”), surging country-rock (“Half as Rich as You Are Lonely”) and multiple instances of Tanyss' timeless classic vocals and Johnston’s guitar wizardry, expertly captured by Edmonton, AB. studio whiz (and Juno Nominee) Stew Kirkwood at Sound Extractor. This is the true tough and tender stuff—songs about smartening up the hard way, sung with real feeling, played with real grit.
