Unlocking Stories: An Evening of Music w/ Zach Kleisinger

  • Sunset Theatre Society 2357 Pooley Street Wells, BC, V0K 2R0 Canada (map)

Unlock your Family Story (www.imarts.com/upcoming-workshops/2023/unlockyourfamilystory) is capped off with an evening of music, story and wit from Vancouver's Zach Kleisinger.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Zach writes lyrically-driven songs in the contemporary, darkened-folk, singer-songwriter style. His words often feel like a bathroom mirror, while his compositions tend to conjure an emotion akin to the heartbreakers on Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks. The strength of Kleisinger’s songwriting has a simple yet poetic intimacy that illustrates profound messages by magnifying the little things.

Since releasing his EP, I Hope It’s Calm, Then, in 2018, Kleisinger has established himself within the alt-folk music community, performing hundreds of concerts across Canada, the UK, Europe, and the US. His live performances have gathered him a loyal audience, where the comfort of his warm baritone voice and magnetic songs are often juxtaposed, oddly and satisfyingly, by dry, unrehearsed humour.

Kleisinger’s latest record, Their Symposium, was released in August 2021 via DevilDuck Records to widespread acclaim. Since its release, Their Symposium has charted on college radio across the US and Canada, received generous airplay on Canada’s nationally syndicated radio network CBC, and earned numerous publications in magazines such as Canadian Musician, Americana UK, Atwood, and American Pancake. In the deep sea of indie-folk songwriters, Zach Kleisinger is a narrator of raw emotions and real tales that will draw you into an intimate, familiar world.
