About this Event
Virgo Rising is an indie rock band from Winnipeg, Canada. Led by vocalist and guitarist Emily Sinclair, alongside multi-instrumentalist siblings Jenna and Lauren Wittmann, the group blends distorted guitars, lo-fi samples, and introspective lyricism for a sound that is both tender and expansive—“knotty and intricate but never belaboured, " as Exclaim!’s Kaelen Bell describes, "a complex web of light put to tape."
Wishbone, Virgo Rising’s debut full-length album, marks a turning point for the band. Self-produced and shaped through a deeply collaborative process, the album sees the group confidently step into creative independence. Embracing contrast and authenticity, the music moves between brooding tension and static bursts of energy layered beneath diary-like lyricism with a quiet, self-assured vulnerability.
Veronica Raine is an indie folk singer/songwriter from Southern Alberta, whose music is deeply rooted in personal storytelling and authentic connection. A self-taught musician, Veronica began performing publicly at thirteen, playing any open mic that would let her through the door.
Her relationship with storytelling started long before music entered the picture. In her youth, Veronica would write short stories, or poems, even going on to write dramatic scripts in her high school years. Over time, her passion shifted from monologues to melody, and the transition to songwriting felt like a natural evolution. What began as a love for crafting stories blossomed into a deep-rooted passion for writing songs.
