The Burning Hell & Tanya Davis & River Dreams

Join us for an evening of joyful, darkly funny songs with Canadian garage-folk oddballs The Burning Hell, supported by their fellow Prince Edward Island songwriter Tanya Davis and local PBC hero Carl Manwarring, aka River Dreams.

The Burning Hell is the ongoing musical project of songwriter Mathias Kom and multi-instrumentalists Ariel Sharratt and Maria Peddle. Their densely populated genre-shifting songs are packed with an abundance of literary, historical, cultural, and pop-cultural forebears, heroes and villains, stories and hooks. They move with heavy rhyme and a light step, incorporating a frequent fixation on apocalypse and ruin into work that celebrates participation in a mutually created, occasionally beautiful world. Which is to say they’re good dance partners and they want to dance with you.

“…funny, sardonic, and literate. Add in a new-wavey, Loaded-era VU sensibility, and it’s impossible not to be swayed by these acerbically funny story songs.” – MOJO MAGAZINE
