THE WEATHER STATION IN CONCERT:
Canadian folk traditionalists The Weather Station marry heavenly melodies and exquisite fingerpicking to create a sound that transports listeners to a simpler time. Tamara Lindeman is the mastermind behind each poetic word and beautifully sung note, and audiences will be enraptured right from the start by her graceful guitar and banjo playing. LindemanÃs backing band fleshes out her unencumbered arrangements with drums, double bass, and distant-sounding harmonies, inviting listeners to get caught up in the same peaceful vibe that radiates from the ensemble on stage. With favorites like ìSeemed True?, ìMule in the Flowers?, and ìYarrow and Mint?, The Weather Station give ticket buyers a piece of serenity that will last long after the showÃs over.

Her 2011 sophomore album All of It Was Mine was the culmination of a fruitful collaboration with country musician Daniel Romano, which helped her branch out beyond her her dedicated following. Two years later she released a compilation of duets, one of which (ìMule in the Flowers?, co-written by Steve Lambke of The Constantines) was nominated for the 2013 SOCAN Songwriting Prize.
