Scalawag at the Wheelhouse - Sehnsucht Album Release Tour
2023-06-24 20:00 - 23:30 | Wheelhouse Brewing, 217 1st Ave East, Prince Rupert, Canada
Join Scalawag as they tour in support of their sophomore album “Sehnsucht,” released on June 1st!
The Vancouver based multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Scalawag will be playing songs off the album with a full band, and their usual quirky stage banter at the Wheelhouse starting at 8pm.
A little about the album:
Sehnsucht is German for Nostalgia, longing, or yearning. More specifically, a deep unsettled longing for something ‘else.’ An unapologetically melancholic indie-folk album born straight from the heartfelt reflections of Singer- Songwriter Teo Saefkow’s experiences with the concept of Sehnsucht, and influenced by the folky- atmospheric confessional style of artists like Lucy Dacus and Gregory Alan Isakov. Scalawag’s sophomore album Sehnsucht deals with the multi- disciplinary artist’s attempt at finding meaning within relation. From the opening track’s examination of a doomed relationship, to obsession with the thought of a loved one deciding never to return home in the album’s fourth track.

A little about the show:
Show starts at 8pm
$10 at the door

​Join Cat Sivertsen for her Artist in Residence workshop: learn how to create an artists book. No experience necessary, just an open heart to play with materials and methods to create your own artists book.
An artists book is a book created by an artist and not a biography about an artist. It is experimental in the media and methods, it could tell a story – or maybe not. It is always beautiful, unique and relevant to the maker and, of course, the viewer.
The workshop will begin at the hardest part and that is, getting started and, as such Cat is delighted to share some of her ‘tricks of the trade’. These are based in simple drawing, printmaking, collage and writing processes to help you get your pencil, pen, brush and materials onto paper. You will then combine those into a take away as an artists book. The best part is you take home these tricks and exercises as part of your creative making practice.
​
Join Cat for an enjoyable morning of playing with materials and methods to create an artists book. No experience necessary, all materials are included and pre-registration is required as there are limited seats. You DO need to bring a packed lunch and an open heart for play.
