Sam Krüger + Sarah Hiltz

Join Montreal-based songwriter Sam Krüger for a unique, highly intimate duo performance. Stripped back to a minimalist stage design alongside a single percussionist, this tour date will blend theatrical storytelling, and a rhythm-driven set of music that reimagines his bedroom-style folk recordings as well as songs from his upcoming album live on stage.

The evening kicks off with a special guest performance at 9:00 PM.

Following a failed career at McDonald's, Sam moved to Montréal in order to pursue music.
A decade later, he has become known for his vulnerable songwriting. While rooted in folk, his music draws heavily from early R&B, bubblegum pop, vintage crooners, and the emotive jazz stylings of singers like Billie Holiday.
Depending on the night, Sam will hit the stage for a stripped-back, captivating solo performance that captures the quiet intimacy of his bedroom-style recordings, or join forces with his powerhouse collective of heavy-hitters (Tim Savard, Neil Robinson, and Brydone Charlton) for an expansive full-band set that leans more into catchy pop melodies and groove. Either way, it’s an evening of music that critic Jacques Boivin once described as "quasi-religious folk that grabs you by the guts but warms you like a soft wind from the south."

Sarah Hiltz is a contemporary folk artist based in Toronto, Canada. Her latest album CALM FURY is a collection of songs that grew out of her research into the ways we experience, express and repress anger in modern society, especially women.

This fall, Hiltz will share the final track in a trio of self-recorded singles: Where Is My Head, Colleen? is about the invisible weights we carry, and how the people closest to us can often sense things we either don't or can't explain.
