ABOUT THIS EVENT
Blake Preston celebrates the release of his latest album, Ashes to Oceans, with special guest Rochelle.
About the artist
With over 30 years experience, BLAKE PRESTON is your classic rustic, whip smart, rebellious rock ‘n’ roll extrovert in the grand tradition of John Cougar Mellencamp and The Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie. As for the songs themselves? Imagine Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy circa 2009 setting up shop in Seattle circa 1993. Call it “Canadian Americana”…but with choruses full of the kind of big guitars that always get your fist pumping. Come be a part of the show guaranteed not to disappoint!

ROCHELLE is a dramatically-trained singer and self-taught guitarist, who has been writing songs and performing live in Toronto and beyond for over a decade. Her writing style is off-kilter with a strong melodic sensibility and inclination. The songs are crafted in such a way, taking you beyond into a realm of emotional longing and other-worldly expression; you find yourself taken somewhere unexpected, every time.
