🦉🗯️ OUR FEATURED ARTIST HAS ARRIVEDDDDD

“Almost Through April is an alternative rock band started in St. Catharines, Ontario, comprised of Frankie Turco (Bass), Simon Bell (Drums) and Zakk Milne (Guitar & Vocals). Music has always been a means of coping for them, and their songs attempt to break down their personal lives and experiences into art that speaks to the tragedy of the human condition. They hope you are able to find a piece of yourself in their work.”

We’re so excited to have AtA back this year!!! We love them so much and know you will too… soooooo come see them at The Slate, October 15 - 17 at The Green (36 James Street, St Catharines). We can’t wait to see you there!!!

🦉🗯️ WHO ELSE BUT LOU!!!!

“Lou Sementilli is a Niagara-based musician. He spent 16 years as a bass player and earned over 4 million streams as a music producer before venturing into the world of classical guitar. You can find him on Instagram (@LousGuitar) where he regularly uploads performance videos as he works through Royal Conservatory repertoire.

This solo classical guitar set explores the timelessness of music and its ability to inspire hope. Spanning centuries of repertoire, from pre-Renaissance works to 20th century pieces, the program brings together music that has endured through some of the most turbulent periods of human history. Turmoil comes and goes, but the art remains. These pieces are still studied, performed, and celebrated centuries later. Classical music is a celebration of human endurance.”

We’re so excited to be asking Lou to perform again this year!!! We love his music and know you will too… soooooo come see Lou at The Slate, October 15 - 17 at The Green (36 James Street, St Catharines). We can’t wait to see you there!!!
