Koffler Arts is excited to present an evening of music in the gallery to mark the end of our current exhibition Botannica Tirannica by Giselle Beiguelman. Ticket price includes cover price and one drink ticket. Erez Zobary Toronto-based R&B/pop artist Erez Zobary has a timeless voice, in more ways than one. Raised on Stevie Wonder and Amy Winehouse, Erez’s soulful vocals echo the sounds and styles of her youth. Lyrically she is raw and uninhibited, writing openly about universal, yet highly personal, feelings of self-worth, uncertainty, and vulnerability. Combined with her down-to-earth sense of humour and natural charisma, which she displays online and onstage, Erez engages with a growing fanbase who resonate deeply with her message of empowerment, and find joy and connectivity in the community she has fostered. Erez has played to audiences across the country, from sold-out shows at venues like Lee’s Palace and The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, to packed theatres at TEDxQueensU in Kingston, and the National Music Centre in Calgary, as a participant in the RBC Master in Residence Program. In 2019, Erez was selected by HoneyJam as one of Canada’s up-and-coming female artists, and has since opened for the billboard-charting bands like Lawrence and Sammy Rae & The Friends. In support of her latest album, Starlight, Erez performed at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC, Highlands Music Festival, and at the Toronto International Jazz Festival.

We're Starved for Attention and we need YOU tofeed us. Let's meet the duo that's hungry for your laughter: Connor Edwards: Uh-oh! Bad boy comin’ through! Yep, this guy is TROUBLE. Tough, Handsome, Trouble. This West Coast transplant is here to do two things: chew gum and make laughs, and he’s all outta gum. When you see Connor Edwards on stage, first you’ll do a double-take from his good looks, then you’ll double-over in laughter from the funny stuff he did. Yep, this kid’s got it all. Andrew Coates: Born in deep the forgotten outback of Southwestern Ontario, he's scrapped and clawed his way from the farm to the stage! He's hell bent on bringing the thunder, and the rain, and whatever else you need from him. Literally, just ask. He'll probably do it. Seriously, ask him for a favour after the show and see what happens. You'll have to be at the show to do it. That's the deal! Starved for Attention is not alone in this ordeal. No, no, no! They will be joined this evening by special guests Red Hot Silly Peppers and All Sorts. Tell two friends, and have them tell two friends, to Crowd Around, Crowd Around on October 22nd at 7:30 PM at Sweet Action Theatre! Information Source: Starved For Attention | eventbrite
