EVERYSEEKER Fest kicks off with an opening concert by this Mi'kmaw singer, held at 7pm on Facebook Live.Rose Cousins' songwriters' circle w/Ed Robertson, Tenille Townes, William Prince
"Against an arrangement of piano, drums, trumpet and valve trombone, Cousins sings about mornings full of fresh coffee and sad songs, about days full of making travel plans and scrolling through her phone. It's an introvert's dream," wrote The Coast about Cousins' newest LP, Bravado, back in early March. We're still obsessed with the album and trust you will be, too—so what better time to see Cousins in action? The show goes on (line) at 9pm on Youtube, Facebook or CBC Gem.Aquakultre
The neo-soul revival starts with Aquakultre's new LP, Legacy—which is celebrated at this EVERYSEEKER show with a live, acoustic performance and interview with Bria Miller. It's all happening over on Instagram at 8pm. Oh, and if you're not yet listening to Legacy on repeat? Let The Coast's virtual cover story from last week make up your mind.No, It's Fine.
The funny, honest indie rock of No, It's Fine. has made The Coast a fan since the jump. There's still room for you on the bandwagon, though, so why not tune into the 8pm livestream on Instagram, which the frontperson Cailen Pygott kindly reminds you will be over before RuPaul's Drag Race starts?Saturday May 16
