EVENING HYMNS at the Tranzac (292 Brunswick) as part of Out of This Spark’s fourth-anniversary celebration, Friday (January 7), 8 pm. Pwyc. See listing.
Jonas Bonnetta knows how to kick off the new year on the right foot: dive into the work you love. This month he heads north to Perth, Ontario, to record a full-length Evening Hymns album tentatively titled Spectral Dusk.
“I have about eight songs written and a bunch of sketches that will work themselves out once we start tracking – I imagine,” Bonnetta reports.
Also making the trek to the wilderness log home are James Bunton, who co-produced Hymns’ acclaimed debut EP, Spirit Guides (Out of This Spark), bassist/vocalist Sylvie Smith, who expanded Bonnetta’s one-man experimental folk project to a duo last year, and members of the Wooden Sky.
“The Wooden Sky are acting as a house band. We’ve been good friends for a long time, so it’s a natural fit. The record will probably turn out to be a bunch of dudes with beards howling at the moon.”
