Festival curated ensemble

SILVERVEST

Kim Zombik vocals; Nicolas Caloia double bass

The unique Montreal duo offer an elegant, skeletal take on song. Sitting between the carefully mapped-out and daringly freeform, between popular sensibilities and avant garde restlessness, Silvervest’s sonic identity is clear and palpably melodic. PLUS KIM ZOMBIK MONOLOGUE…
