Luke Lalonde (Live at Banjo Cider)

Banjo Cider

Luke Lalonde,  lead singer of JUNO-nominated Born Ruffians, will perform to a small audience on our outdoor stage. Opener: Julianna Riolino

Luke Lalonde, lead singer of JUNO-nominated Born Ruffians, will be performing on the cidery&#x27;s outdoor stage on August 20. We started planning this event back before Ontario&#x27;s re-opening, to really celebrate the return of live music with an artist whose work we love. His solo album the Perpetual Optimist, which was released shortly before the pandemic, played constantly at the cidery in the last year and half. We can&#x27;t wait to hear it live at last!The way we see it, the best live music experience is in a small, intimate setting. Our stage is under tall silver maples in a picturesque, rural setting, only an hour north of Toronto. Ticket quantities are limited. The event is rain or shine unless the weather is atrocious, in which case you will be able to re-book or refund your ticket. Doors open at 6:15. Opening act starts at 7 (to be announced). Luke Lalonde will perform from approx 8:00-9:00. We recommend you arrive when doors open so you have time to park, order any drinks, and find a seat. The event is rain or shine (except extreme weather) so bring a rain jacket if rain is in the forecast. Only a few tables have umbrellas. Bug spray is also recommended. Food is welcome as we don&#x27;t have a kitchen at the cidery.Luke Lalonde is the lead singer of JUNO-nominated indie-rock mainstays, Born Ruffians. Alongside the band’s 5 full-length records, Lalonde has become known as a prolific solo writer, collaborating with a variety of artists across several genres, including Caribou. Lalonde&#x27;s first solo album in 2012 was met with notable acclaim, with critics drawing attention to the impressive breadth of Lalonde’s creative capacity.The Perpetual Optimist finds the singer writing more in the vein of Americana greats like John Prine, Roger Miller, and Kris Kristofferson; with nods to the 60&#x27;s pop of Jacques Dutronc and the Kinks. In Lalonde&#x27;s words: &quot;The sound of this record sort of found me while I was writing songs in Brooklyn when I started playing around with different ways to record myself. Every song on this album is near and dear to me. I&#x27;m extremely proud of it.&quot; Julianna Riolino is a singer-songwriter and a member of Canadian cult musician Daniel Romano&#x27;s band, The Outfit. Her music is pastoral and sprawling, and the strength of her voice - not to mention her songwriting proficiency - is what defines Julianna as a singular talent, walking the delicate line between uninhibited power and vulnerability. Her reverence for iconic artists like Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton weave throughout her songs, and yet Riolino adds flourishes that are simultaneously contemporary and timeless.
