Micah Barnes (formerly of The Nylons) w/ Süss
September 8
Doors 7:15 pm | Show 8:00 pm
Tickets: $15 advance | $20 door
Canadian jazz & cabaret singer/songwriter Micah Barnes is returning to entertaining crowds in an intimate setting.
“Micah Barnes used to be in The Nylons, so you know he can sing. It turns out he can also write brilliant blue-eyed soul, centered around his piano and of course, the voice.”
Bob Mersereau CBC Radio
Alternating between piano and guitar, Süss' ingenious song construction and ironic lyrics sometimes play with time signatures leading into either gory or queer themes, but you can always hear the smile in her voice.
