Joshua Hyslop Live at The Red Hart with Dominique Adams

Sunday September 12 Live at The Red Hart

Joshua Hyslop

Vancouver's Joshua Hyslop is a modern folk musician, an amalgam of influence in the classically romantic tradition of Damien Rice, Ryan Adams, Iron and Wine, and Sufjan Stevens. Like the said ballyhooed folksters before him, Joshua is inspired to write largely as a result of the people and relationships surrounding him, while also subjecting his songs to his own vulnerabilities, doubts, and conflicts. He integrates these revelations with his agenda of lyrical candidness, creating an expressive and open artform.

Edmonton-based singer/songwriter Dominique Adams takes genres such as folk, Americana, and soul and weaves them together to create a fresh and unique sound. She has an affinity for life’s complexity and simple beauty effortlessly heard within the contour of her warm, soulful voice and guitar.
Having just released her debut EP in February, Dominique looks eagerly to a not-so-distant future of playing these songs for those with whom they resonate. It is a timely release, exploring themes of loss and love, and of time and space all interwoven into a work influenced by the likes of Laura Marling, Lianne la Havas, and Joni Mitchell. These songs pay tribute to a year of unknowns and coming out on the other side a little wiser, a little stronger.
