Canada’s legendary Grievous Angels are in the Kingston area for a two concerts! Don’t miss a second of their all-too-rare time with us. The band will be featuring their new album Revolution.
The Grievous Angels have been carving out a unique place in the alt-roots landscape for the last three decades. Their songs conjure the tragic beauty of Canada’s northern blue collar frontier. Led by singer-songwriter (and former Member of Parliament for Timmins-James Bay) Charlie Angus, their songs conjure the tragic beauty of Canada’s northern blue collar frontier.
You likely know about Charlie Angus and his particular brand of hard-hitting, left-leaning, truth talk. Charlie is a longtime friend of the Hotel, and talks about how great our Island is on his popular YouTube channel and podcast, the Meidas Canada Network.
Charlie’s band, The Grievous Angels, return to the Hotel on Saturday, February 28th. His shows sell out not just because the music is “achingly beautiful” (according to JUNO judge and journalist John Emms), but also because of Charlie himself. Charlie fearlessly stands up to bullies who happen to be in power, and his courageous energy is infectious. As he said last year, “Canada doesn't bow. We don't bend. And we will never kiss the gangster ring.” Being near Charlie is a charge in itself. Come join this room packed with politically alive music-lovers!
“Somewhere between Gram and Townes lies the Grievous Angels. Achingly beautiful.” — John Emms
“The Grievous Angels are following in the footsteps of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Strummer and Billy Bragg.” — Tinnitist
“Politically charged.” — Canadian Beats
“It’s like wandering into the perfect kitchen party where the musicians are not only impeccable, but the material flows from one song and genre to the next seamlessly. This is a protest music for a modern world.” — Blog Critics.org
