Burdock Presents: Nardos Almaz w/ Ebril

BURDOCK PRESENTS: Nardos Almaz w/ Ebril

Our free Sunday show series returns with two of Toronto's finest indie artists - Nardos Almaz and Ebril. Hosted by Kate Prenty (Famously Into), this is a free, first-come, first-served show - spots are only guaranteed to the first 70 people in attendance. 

Nardos Almaz

With an adoration for songwriting, Nardos Almaz began her musical journey from her childhood bedroom in Kitchener-Waterloo. She uses clever guitar melodies and honest lyrics to navigate her intersectional identity. Now based in Toronto, Almaz released her debut EP Close Contact in October 2025, following her through the sobering reality of young adulthood as a queer, Black woman. Fresh off an electric double single release in the spring, her dynamic performances and poignant songwriting have been steadily carving out a space for her in the Canadian indie music scene.

Ebril

The work of 22-year old Iraqi-Canadian artist Ebril blends the outside world with the deep confines of her insides to produce works carefully crafted with intimate songwriting and distinct floral production. Her self produced album "In Copula” plays on themes of identity, adolescence, and biology. Coming from a science background, Ebril references the environment around her to describe the emotions and experiences of growing up as a first generation immigrant, using flora and fauna to represent her longing for freedom and flight. Struggling to find a space that felt right to explore her unique expression of culture and art, Ebril’s world building through ‘In Copula’ achieves the realm of space she needed to feel connected to her real world with sounds recorded from inside her room of the world happening outside.
