About this Event
Abigail Lapell Live at Cafe Wha? | Thursday, June 6th | 6PM DOORS, 7PM SHOW | Two Item Minimum Per Person
Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with Anniversary, an
evocative collection of original love songs. Produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony
Dekker, the album was recorded at 200-year-old St Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake,
Ontario. Dekker helped shape the sessions’ spooky, resonant sound and also lent his voice
to a couple of spellbinding duets. Lapell’s deft lyrics jostle with love song tropes, grappling
with love’s finitude and the irony of how codependency and longing are revered in popular
music. Balancing upbeat earworms with elegiac ballads, Anniversary ultimately emerges as
an earnest celebration of commitment. A stellar cast of musicians rounds out Lapell’s
powerhouse vocals, piano, harmonica and fingerstyle guitar. The ensemble’s sensitive
orchestral country-jazz arrangements feature bass, drums, viola, trumpet and pedal steel
along with the church’s own harpsichord and organ. Anniversary is out May 10, 2024 on
Outside Music.
