A not-often-seen trio of local performers – The Legendary Golden River Show Band + Quiet Parade + Silent Channel – gang up for what promises to be a great night of music at The Carleton on Saturday, March 8th. Live action gets underway at 8 PM and tickets are $20 + HST.
Focused and fearless, Quiet Parade presents introspective, bleeding-heart folk-rock shrouded in a little fog. Building on a foundation of nostalgia and longing, the Halifax-based band revels in winding guitar lines, fading choruses, and words that go straight for the heart. Quiet Parade’s breakout single, “We Were Here,” was featured heavily on CBC Radio 2, claiming a spot on their Top 20 charts for five weeks.
In addition to a 2017 East Coast Music Award nomination for Folk Recording of the Year, their self-titled album earned Quiet Parade a Music Nova Scotia Award in 2016 for Alternative Album of the Year. In the fall of 2018, Quiet Parade released their new single, Thunder, recorded at New Scotland Yard. Stay tuned for the release of Young Hearts, recorded at The Hill Sound Studio, with Colin Buchanan (Paper Lions, Sorrey, Coyote). Their latest release is The will To Weather The Storm (2020).
Silent Channel blends atmospheric indie rock with rich, emotive soundscapes, drawing comparisons to Elbow and The Doves. Frontman Bob Mills, formerly of Toronto-based band Big Ideas, brings his signature introspective lyrics and commanding vocals to the group’s evolving sound. Silent Channel’s music captures both grandeur and subtlety, creating a cinematic listening experience that resonates deeply with fans of complex, melodic rock.
