VIDEO: Foxwarren – “Strange (Dan The Automator Remix)”VIDEO: Foxwarren | To Be | First Play LiveVIDEO: Foxwarren – Deadhead
Foxwarren is Andy Shauf, Avery Kissick, Darryl Kissick, Dallas Bryson, and Colin Nealis. The Canadian quintet, built on 20 years of friendship, ostensibly plays folk music, where warm tones and cantering rhythms buoy songs of characters wrestling with existential quandaries inside of twilit vocals. But after touring their lauded 2018 self-titled debut, Foxwarren decided to do it all differently, eventually dropping the familiar band-in-a-room routine to instead plug those songs, and various other sounds into a sampler. The result is mesmerizing and uncanny, an album that traces two sides of a relationship through 37 minutes of collage art that aspires to “sound best blasting out your car window” as put by singer Andy Shauf. By himself, Shauf has already had a stellar career, his reputation built not only by the sweetness of his melodies and sharpness of his words but also his inability to rest with past success. Foxwarren, especially here, is a crucial part of that ongoing process, but 2 represents something even more significant—five friends now nearing the end of their second decade making music together, pushing against what they’ve learned how to do in order to venture somewhere new. It is the sound of friends who trust each other, cutting themselves loose from their past and their preconceptions to have some fun with a sampler and the very idea of songs.
If your playlist includes Bahamas, Wilco, or other genre bending indie folk artists, Foxwarren is a band you need to experience live. Andy Shauf and Foxwarren deliver the same warmth, depth, and musical craftsmanship that fans of those artists have come to love – while creating a sound entirely their own.

Hudson FreemanHudson Freeman is a Brooklyn-based lo-fi folk artist whose reflective songwriting blends indie folk, bedroom pop, and slowcore influences. Originally from Dallas and shaped by years living in Eswatini and the American Midwest, Freeman has emerged as one of indie music’s compelling new voices.

His recent release, is a Folk Artist, along with the growing popularity of his song “If You Know Me,” has brought increasing attention to his intimate, melody-driven sound.

EXHIBIT OPENING: Joan Folinsbee Timmins – A Painter’s Life
2026-07-04 14:00 - 16:00 | The Blue Mountains Public Library, 173 Bruce Street South, Thornbury, ON N0H 2P0, Thornbury, Ontario, Canada
The Gallery at L.E. Shore’s Arts and Culture Council (ACC) is honored to present an exhibition celebrating the work of the late artist, Joan Folinsbee Timmins.

The exhibition will explore works from a multi-decade career: abstract and realistic, large scale and small; landscapes, portraits, still-life, abstracts and figure drawings in many mediums – watercolour, acrylics, oils, pastels, pen and ink.

This is a peek into Joan’s life as an artist. It’s a journey in time, place and creative growth; the roller coaster ride of a unique individual.

Please join us for the exhibition’s opening reception on Saturday, July 4, 2025, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at The Gallery at L.E. Shore. This free community event is an opportunity to interact with the exhibition and learn about an artist who spent almost every waking moment thinking about and creating beautiful, inspiring art that we can all enjoy.

Following the opening, the show runs all summer long, July 4-August 26.
