ZOUBI AND THE SEA

Zoubi is a naturally magnetic performer. As a songwriter she possesses an endearingly genuine creative spark that catches and holds your attention. Her lyrics are rich with visuals and her vocals flutter with a soft vibrato that is intriguing and distinct.
Zoubi's folk-pop sounds and relatable lyrics bring to mind the 1950s and Hannah Georgas. In 2015, Zoubi released her debut EP, Tumble and together with musician, Devarrow, she embarked on an EP release tour to Saskatchewan and back. Returning to her home in Victoria, BC, Zoubi and the Sea was formed and in 2016 they performed Song and Surf, Rock of the Woods, Tall Tree, Fernfest and Rifflandia Festival. On stage, the ensemble is cohesive and playful, melding a Tegan and Sara sound with jazz saxophone and funk rhythm.

DEVARROW

Devarrow is the moniker of Graham Ereaux, a singer-songwriter who blends simple folk with sophisticated pop to create music which reflects an isolated upbringing in Moncton, New Brunswick and a subsequent half decade of traveling. In 2015, Devarrow self-released The Great Escape, a collection of eleven songs written in a leaky-roofed apartment while living in Vancouver for a winter. To support the release, Devarrow toured Canada extensively as a one-man-band in 2015 and 2016, focusing on creating an energetic, captivating and intimate live show performed in the raconteur style. Gaining recognition in the maritimes - including an ECMA nomination - Devarrow moved back East to Halifax, Nova Scotia where he now resides. With a refined focus on lyrics and arrangement, Devarrow will be releasing a new EP and LP in 2017.
