Open Mic w/ Gillian Nicola
Gillian Nicola @ This Ain't Hollywood in Hamilton, Canada
Gillian Nicola’s 2016 EP “No Place to Call” will have its Toronto release on Saturday, April 16th at Toronto’s Cameron House. In late 2015, Nicola headed into Hamilton’s Catherine North Studios to work with producer Dan Hosh (Whitehorse, City & Colour, Rose Cousins) on her sophomore EP, No Place to Call (spring 2016). Mastered by Elliott Brood’s Stephen Pitkin, the five-song EP is a move to a sound that Nicola feels fully defines her as an artist.
“Across the five new offerings, Nicola delivers warm, familiar, folksy Canadiana — but her powerhouse vocals make for a listening experience that's entirely refreshing.” – Exclaim!

WHITNEY PEA
Whitney's sound is playful and original with lyrics that often illustrate the connection between the human heart and nature. She is loved for her soothing voice and genuine approach to songwriting.
ALYSON MCNAMARA
"{Alyson's} clear, confident voice, strong sense of phrasing, close attention to lyric, and skillful guitar playing makes listening to her a pleasure. Her youth and fierce determination makes her someone to watch." - Margo Timmins of The Cowboy Junkies
