An Intimate Evening with these Artists
Rob Moir - In 2013, Moir released the critically acclaimed LP Places To Die, of which Rolling Stone wrote in their 4 star album review, "Moir isn't conservative; there's something urgent in his songs, that are never too sure of themselves, and whose longing hasn’t found a home yet. Moir sings his romantic sighing songs with punk rock folk in his heart and in addition proves a great sense for quiet singer/songwriter moment”.
2015 saw his second album Adventure Handbook, a burst of life and energy backed by his Toronto band The Great Lates. Once again, Rolling Stone commented on the full band release, "Moir's compositions are now so confident they go straight to your heart".
Moir has toured Europe with Grammy-nominated Neko Case and shared the stage with fellow alt-folk artists such as Frightened Rabbit, Frank Turner and The White Buffalo. With solo performances at international festivals BIGSOUND, Music Matters and Live at Heart, as well as multiple successful tours in Australia, Canada, Europe, UK and Japan, Moir has proven his ability to silence rowdy audiences with his intimate performances, quick humour, and captivating stage presence.
Perpetually on the lonesome road, Rob continues to expand his audience as he performs his songs across the world, making fans the old fashioned way - one dedicated believer at a time.
“Amsellem", which translates from Hebrew as "People of Peace", is the indie/folk/rock musical project created by Daniel Amsellem in his hometown of Ashdod, Israel in 2017. The project started with an acoustic guitar, dynamic microphone and a loop station, and carried on to a full array of instruments with unique arrangements and intimate while powerful songs that come from true feeling.
"In/Out" is Amsellem's debut album. this concept album is formed out of 10 songs that split into 3 parts of a story – betraying trust, hurting, and reconciling.
The album is a collection of experiences and memories from a 5-year relation between himself and a lost love. starting with anger and disappointment and ending with a catharsis and peace of mind, the album truly depicts a whirlpool of emotions as it goes on.
