James Irwin + L CON play Hotel Wolfe Island for the first time! More details to follow.James Irwin writes songs with a plainspoken beauty in the spirit of Gillian Welch or Bill Callahan. Despite fifteen years of shifting from outsider folk to low-fi 80s pop to cosmic country, the mood and lyrical voice of his music has always been unmistakable. Bandmates used to call it Jamesing.
After a decade making music in Montreal, James left for Toronto to write a novel about growing up in a religious commune in Oklahoma. With the novel nearly done and over 70 new songs to record, this spring is a return to music for James.

L CON is the project of Lisa Conway, a composer, sound artist, songwriter, producer, recordist, and mix engineer based in Montréal. An artist who continually tries to push herself into the unfamiliar, she has written original scores and songs for documentaries, short films, and theatre productions, created site-specific multi-channel sound and light installations, and collaborated with contemporary dancers and performance artists.
Lisa's solo releases as L CON have received positive press from publications like CBC, The Fader, Uproxx, Tiny Mix Tapes, Exclaim, and Earmilk, with comparisons drawn to Feist, Agnes Obel, Beth Gibbons, and Jenny Hval. In 2023, she released two albums, the instrumental “SOUNDMILL improvisations” on limited edition tape (via Toronto label Halocline Trance), as well a full-length album of songs (vinyl + digital) on Idée Fixe records.
