BEAVERTAILS OTTAWA ICE DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL PRESENTS RORY TAILLON:

FREE CONCERT 9:30 PM FRIDAY FEBRUARY 17, 2023 LIVE @ THE RAINBOW

Ottawa alternative-folk musician Rory Taillon is a road warrior, touring across the country and back again. Rory is not just an entertainer he’s a performer. It’s just that simple, when Taillon sings everything stops and when it starts again it’s all changed. It’s just that simple, like folk.

“On this new record (Drifting) Taillon has decided to strip away all the clutter in the small and take what little room was available and give it over to his voice. Instrumentation is sparse and the songs are recorded to sit right inside your ear. They are close enough to enter the infinite space of your own head and its in there they find room to stretch and unwind, to swell and loosen. His croon enters your cocoon and he asks questions maybe others are asking as the drifting lulls us; the Whys of this time; in the case of Rory, the whys of touring, of writing, recording, the value of song, of life as an artist. And yet the value lies in his voice quietening those other voices, squeezing them out. Contemplating his doubt overcomes our doubt. In his voice we hear possibility, in his doubt we hear hope.” – Will McGuirk of SlowCity.ca
