The Mercury Prize-winning musician, poet and actor makes his Vancouver debut for an intimate night at the Chan Centre. Having grown up in London in a strict Catholic household, Clementine left home at sixteen and faced homelessness, beginning his career busking on the streets of Paris. From there, he returned to England and released his debut album, which won the Mercury Prize. He has gone on to tour with David Byrne of Talking Heads, collaborated with Damon Albarn of Gorillaz and, in 2019, he was named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government. Known for his incandescent, “immersive, breathtaking performances” that create “intimate moments of revelation” (NPR), Clementine’s creative journey also includes notable recent acting roles in Denis Villeneuve’s multiple Oscar-winning film Dune and work with Oscar-winning director Sir Steve McQueen. Clementine will share music from his forthcoming new album, Sir Introvert And The Featherweights, which continues his adventures as a singular artist that delivers style, poise and poetry in equal measure. His experimental and, at times, avant-garde approach to chamber pop, and his enigmatic presence, velveteen baritone, and literary streak defies categorization. Get your tickets to see this once-in-a-generation talent! ………………………………. From soulful folk to post-punk ballads, the adaptive Beaven Waller asks listeners to pierce the void and unravel their hearts. With influences ranging from Neil Young to Chopin, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist’s tracks are laden with unique personality, spirituality and vulnerability. Whether the songs are fully-produced – such as on the recently released record GLITR GRUNGE – or bare bones piano expressions, Waller’s concise but growing discography presents a striking authenticity. Waller was born and raised in Mansfield, Texas, and left the small town to realize an abstraction of a vision. From Texas to London to New York, Waller got their start in the city as a street performer. Waller now puts on theatrical, “cabaret in the west” performances in NYC and fronts their band, The Violet Hour. In their second tour with Benjamin Clementine, Waller remains a hopeful mystery.
