Kamra’s debut album Shift Circuit is a contemporary take on Chitlin' Circuits for and by Black queer musicians from the 1930s through the 1960s. On the album Kamra sings a gossamer-like version of the kind of gutter blues that would make any audience member blush.

Loosely packed with plucky textures and angelic yet brooding scoring, the goal of this record is to make each fan's spirit turn crimson. An erotic androgynous blizzard of lush noise, Kamra’s album travels to unexpected places met by joy and comfort upon arrival.

Kamra’s album tour includes a performance of their album with a live band at the Tranzac Club.

Tiger Balme is wrapping up their artist residency at Studio RAW! Their goal for this residency was to write an EP’s worth of new music. Join us on October 13th to hear them perform four songs in progress and share about how each song came to life. RAW members will also share some new pieces and reflections on the composition process.

Members of Tiger Balme will each present their individual songwriting process as developed during their residency period at Studio RAW. Participants will be led through songwriting exercises generated from each band member's personal writing process. The purpose of this workshop is to offer multiple entryways into songwriting with an emphasis on exploration and wordplay. No prior songwriting experience is necessary, only curiosity and a sense of play :)

Composed in 2019 by JUNO-nominated composer, Keyan Emami, The Black Fish Project is a three-movement composition scored for narrator, chamber ensemble, and electronics. While the music loosely corresponds to the Persian children’s book, The Little Black Fish, this musical adaptation interweaves the personal life experiences of the composer into the story of the black fish to create a highly personal account of the scaly protagonist’s journey from the little pond to the open sea.

RAW Taiko performs in Allen Gardens at the end of the Dyke March, as we always do. BOOM BOOM!
