CANCELED: Elita – All Ages

DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, ELITA’S TOUR HAS BEEN CANCELED. ALL TICKET BUYERS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REFUNDED.Growing up in Cupids, Newfoundland, Canada, a town of less than 800 people, Elita spent most of her childhood in isolation. With encouragement from her parents, she developed artistic skills in photography, drawing, dancing, singing and music. She changed high schools frequently as a teenager. Feeling removed from friends, she found comfort in social media, where she began gaining a following on instagram in 2015, and began modeling. In 2017, Elita launched her own business, designing zines and a few years later, a weapons jewelry line. That same year, she met her boyfriend, Tim. Although Elita hadn’t engaged in anything musically since she was a teenager, Tim recognized her musical potential and encouraged her to start singing again. The couple recorded a cover of ‘After Hours’ by the Velvet Underground. With a growing interest in the cinematic arts, Elita focused on writing a movie script with Tim (to no success). However this attempt at collaboration led to them writing their first single, ‘I Hate Everyone But You’ (2018). They had no intention of making the song public, but after recording a test demo, they decided to release it. Tim concentrated on writing more songs with his bandmates, and sending these instrumentals to Elita who would write lyrics and perform vocals. This collaboration led to the eventual recording and release of Elita’s debut EP, ‘Sick Girl’ (2019), which was followed by the ‘Blood Sucker’ (2020) and ‘Anxiety Angel’ (2021) EPs. The projects combined have over 30M streams.

Andi Mitchell: The Rule Book Tour – All Ages – w/ Rachel Grae, Lisa Heller & Carrington Zane Sklar

A performer since birth, there has never been a question of which path Andi would find herself on. Taking vocal lessons at age six and finding a passion for songwriting in the form of theater camp classes at eight, Andi has been honing her skills for as long as she can remember. Putting these building blocks to use seriously at 11 when she really began to write songs and craft the inklings of what would develop into a more defined sound and aesthetic – Andi learned deeply through play as she’d make parodies of her favorite songs. These steps led her to moving across the country from her home in New Jersey to LA at 16, and now, at 19, she’s begun to carve out a lane for herself with a string of anthemic pop smashes across the last year. Channeling influences from Avril Lavigne to Sam Smith, Andi gets closer to full realization with every song – her personality on special display across recent releases “Get Your Attention” and “Wish We Were Strangers”. Keeping herself open as she connects with her growing audience via TikTok lives and Zoom meet-n-greets, Andi’s world becomes evermore defined as one of flowing blonde hair and stunning vocal performances that only pull in listener’s as they get to know her. Andi never shies away from displaying her genuine self, pulling inspiration for her songs directly from her own life experiences and displaying them against driving sonics in an attempt to help people come to terms with their own stories by seeing how unapologetically she shares her own.

Drawing from her studies in planetary sciences, she creates a unique experience…exploring ideas of multiverses and climate change through the lens of a fictional post apocalyptic keyboard toting earthling with a flashlight, a can of cashews, and a hopeful optimism. bandcamp Instagram Soundcloud facebookwith support from Sandra Lawson-Ndu (of Bells Atlas)

Jane Weaver, Sonoda – 21+

Abusing, evading and obliterating 20 years of whimsical pop trends, Jane Weaver’s experience as a truly independent and resilient female experimental songwriter/sound-carrier commands respect and inspiration in equal measures. From teenage Liverpudlian shoe-gazer to conceptual-pop mistress, has seen her graze with pocket-punk, Synth-pop, acid folk, indie-schmindie, dark-ambient drones, Hollywood soundtracks and girl-group psych.Sonoda (so-NO-duh) is a meditative pop ensemble based in Los Angeles, CA. The quartet approaches live music and dream pop with a delicate, spiritual, and therapeutic perspective. A gentle glow of crystals, salt lamps, candles and flowers adorn the stage as the band creates a welcoming wash of ambience with warbly guitars and oscillating synths. Each performance opens and closes with a soothing ‘Ohm’ sung by front woman Lisa Sonoda, who resounds deeply on stage with her singing bowl, tingshas and chimes. It is in this dream world where Sonoda’s lullaby-pop sensibility conjures the auras of influences like Broadcast and Beach House. From these influences, Sonoda offers a new take on music and dream pop, bringing us a collective deep breath— a refreshment, a renewal: Meditative Pop.  The band started with Lisa Sonoda’s solo projects, Clearing I (2016) and Clearing II (2017), which were later compiled and released on a small tape run on Never Anything Records. Lisa soon expanded to a full band with the help of musicians like Adrian Garcia on additional synth and guitar. Together they made their first full band demo album Karaoke Life (Never Content, 2018). With current members Eddie Ramos on drums and Jacob Maag on bass, they released singles Half-Life / The Mark (Anniversary, 2019), Point of View & Purpose (Flexible/Terrible Records, 2021). They have also toured with Vanishing Twin, Mutual Benefit and Hater, and performed with bands Good Morning, Claud, Juniore and many more.
