Elliott BROOD
with special guest Menno Versteeg of Hollerado
From the mountains of Utah to the trenches of Vimy Ridge, Elliott BROOD’s songs have travelled the gore and glory of history in equal measure for nearly a decade. With the stomp and thrash of their early albums, Elliott BROOD carved their niche drawing from history and memory. As heavy and harrowing the past can be, for Elliott BROOD, it is also a generous companion, giving the gift of appreciation for times of peace and grace.
With Keeper, Elliott BROOD’s seventh album, the trio deals with the past in more personal terms. The title, which speaks to loyalty and longevity, sets the tone for an album that explores the strength of conviction, and how that strength is tested, again and again, over time. Thoughts of worthiness and dedication, and their emotional flip sides, inform a collection that sees the band exploring those battlefields much closer to home.
From the Polaris Music Prize short listed breakout album Mountain Meadows to the JUNO Award winning Days Into Years, the well-traveled trio of Mark Sasso, Casey Laforet and Stephen Pitkin have created a body of work that is at once meticulous and boisterous, substantial and entertaining.

SPECIAL GUEST
With a stellar career spanning two decades as the leader of Hollerado and a 1/4 of supergroup Anyway Gang, Menno Versteeg is by no means a stranger to the stage and the airwaves. With literally thousands of shows in over twenty countries, ten Top 10 singles, one Gold Record and one #1 Alternative Single, Versteeg has seen and done his fair share, but today marks the first time he's releasing music under his own name with "Fish Out Of Water". Featuring Doug Paisley on acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies, "Fish Out Of Water" is a raw and honest indie folk tune about growing up in a small town and all the trials and tribulations that come along with that. An exploration of how it feels growing up an outsider used to getting your ass kicked, it's Versteeg at his lyrical best, and is available everywhere now.

As you look at the seating map, you will notice that seats are numbered in a pattern where odd numbers are sequentially placed on one side (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.), and even numbers are sequentially placed on the opposite side (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, etc.). This means that when you purchase seats side by side, the numbers will increase by 2 as you move across the row (e.g., if you have seats 5 and 7, they are next to each other).
