Presents: Andy Shauf (SOLD OUT) DESCRIPTION:(((folkYEAH!))) Presents \nANDY SHAUF (Solo) \n+ Tomberlin \nALL AGES \nDoors at 7 / Show at 8 \n$20 Advance / $22 At the Door \nSOLD OUT \nShauf grew up in a musical family who would often perform together at their church—which\, for the 12-year-old Shauf\, was more discomforting than inspiring at the time. He picked up the drums and played in pop-punk bands in high school\, and got into emo before someone slipped him an Elliott Smith album. That sent him down a rabbit hole into ’70s singer-songwriters like Paul Simon and Randy Newman\, and soon he was writing his own material. The summer before Grade 12\, while his friends were all working summer jobs\, Shauf stayed home and made his first record. After high school he moved to The Big City—a.k.a. Regina\, the capital of Saskatchewan (pop. 193\,000)—and started touring Western Canada\, mostly DIY venues in punk scenes. The soft-spoken guy with an acoustic guitar found himself opening for hardcore bands a lot. “I always expected to get my ass kicked\, but people would just end up buying CDs.”\nOn his previous LP The Bearer of Bad News\, Shauf started out with 100 songs and whittled it down to 11\, the cream of the crop—no wonder it turned heads. This time\, older\, wiser\, and with a clearer vision and narrative construct in mind\, the self-produced multi-instrumentalist and master of subtlety focused on 15 and cut it to 10. \nRecording began with a band in Germany in early 2014\, but Shauf—who is endlessly rewriting lyrics and rearranging songs\, building them up and then stripping them back to their basics—decided to start anew back home in Regina. There\, he set up shop at Studio One\, located in an old CBC building\, and was left to his own devices. He plays all the instruments\, with the exception of the strings\, handled by Colin Nealis. \nThe Party is not exactly a concept record\, but it was a way for the singer-songwriter to get out of his own head. An after-party record\, more like it. Or for the hangover the next day\, when only Shauf’s songs can make any sense of the emotionally-charged scenarios that played out the night before. \nWhen The Party was over\, Shauf had no regrets—even if its characters have more than a few. \nYou’re invited to The Party. It’s one you’ll never forget. \n URL:http://www.starlinesocialclub.com/StarlineSite/event/folkyeah-presents-andy-shauf/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:http://www.starlinesocialclub.com/StarlineSite/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-20-at-12.22.29-PM.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
