GEOFF BERNER, CAROLYN MARK & PRIYA THOMAS
	Tuesday May 3 | Northern Whig | 8.00pm

Geoff Berner plays the accordion, and makes no apologies. Geoff Berner has played in a punk band. Geoff Berner has written for Sesame Street. Geoff Berner prefers to drink scotch out of a wine glass.

Berner’s work combines folk, punk, rock, pop, and traditional Jewish music into an organic whole. His acerbic writing, twisted world view and take–no–prisoners delivery combine for an experience pleasing to punks and folkies alike. Geoff Berner is a one-off.

Fellow Canadian alt-country singer songwriter Carolyn Mark is a similarly unique proposition. Her sound is melodically simple, unmistakably country, coyly romantic and wonderfully crude. This is a woman wh exudes sex with her voice but also demands respect for her obvious talent and true blue country heart.

One of Canada’s best-kept secrets, songstress, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Priya Thomas specialises in no holds barred, kiss-my-asse mpowered pop. A suicide blonde with an adrenalincharged stage presence, she has opened for Rufus Wainwright, Radiohead and The Dears. Her new album, You and Me Against the World Baby, will be out later this year.
