QG released their 10th album in 2021 called Tasty Tunes: a blend of fun\, eclecticism\, international flavours\, multi-instrumentation\, vocals and superb musicianship.

SUMMARY:Martha Wainwright Performance
DESCRIPTION:Mary Winspear Centre Presents: Martha Wainwright with guest Brad Barr!\n20th Anniversary Tour of her Seminal Eponymous Debut Album \nMonday\, April 7\, 2025\nDoors 7pm\, Show 7:30pm \nTo celebrate the 20th anniversary of her seminal eponymous debut studio album\, Martha Wainwright announces the 20th Anniversary Tour\, hitting North America in the Spring of 2025. \nMartha Wainwright: On March 21st we will release the record on vinyl for the first time ever\, as well as digitally release unheard songs\, outakes and early material from that 10 year period of discovery that led to my first record. Along with the re-release there will be a tour (with more dates being announced soon)\, with a few great musicians\, where I’ll play the record in its entirety as well as a few new songs – there’s no 48 year old me without the 28 year old me! \nBrad Barr: Over a career that spans three decades\, Brad Barr has cultivated a uniquely visceral\, disarmingly intimate approach to the guitar. If you’re already a fan of the Montreal-based Barr Brothers \, or the legendary improv-rock trio The Slip \, then you already know — it’s futile to try and categorize his ongoing experiments in sound and songwriting
