We’re thrilled to welcome Nathan Lawr to the brewery on Saturday, March 4th at 8pm! 

Nathan Lawr is one of the unsung heroes of the Canadian indie rock renaissance, having served as the drummer-of-choice for artists including Feist and FemBots, while also being a key collaborator in the 1990s Guelph, Ontario scene that spawned Constantines, Jim Guthrie, Royal City and Sea Snakes.

In 2000, Lawr began releasing acclaimed albums of self-penned folk songs, but made a dramatic turn a decade later in forming Minotaurs, a politically-charged, Afrobeat-inspired group that on any given night numbered eight to 10 players on stage. It was an intense period for Lawr that found him taking on the roles of bandleader and producer, and although Minotaurs continue to be a going concern — the band released its latest album Higher Power in March 2020 — the urge to establish himself as a more traditional singer-songwriter never faded.

It’s resulted in Apocalypse Marshmallow, Lawr’s first solo album since 2013’s Chance Encounter — eight songs that were truly eight years in the making. The extra time and care have indeed produced Lawr’s finest solo collection, one that boldly displays even more dimensions of his seemingly limitless musical range.

We’ve been big fans of Nathan for the longest time, and we can’t wait to have him play at the brewery for an intimate show. Only 30 tickets available!
