Can You Speak Up?

Friday night at Longboat Hall, a trio of quiet singers played bedroom pop with varying successful. First up was local talent Ellis from Hamilton. It was an angst-filled set with songs like Frostbite and All This Time. Next up was mumble-pop Long Beard from New Brunswick. This set didn't translate well into a live show with too much looping. Finally, Soccer Mommy was the head-liner tonight. She was the best songwriter of the evening and had some interesting arrangements on her guitar. Her band filled out the sound but didn't really added much to the songs.

Update: Soccer Mommy has made several best-of list at the end of 2018.
