Nightjars, Giulia, and Avery at China Cloud

The first show of Nightjars and Giulia's west coast tour, supported by Avery at Vancouver's iconic China Cloud!

NIGHTJARS is the solo project of queer and trans singer-songwriter Adrian Matias Bell. Inspired by his childhood spent listening to folk music, Nightjars weaves complex lyricism with careful melodies to create songs that balance the personal with the mystical. His first album, Modjeska, is a collection of songs written in and about his childhood home of Orange County. Carrying echoes of 70s singer-songwriter craft, Modjeska explores a California coming-of-age with gravity and warmth.

Getting his start in the DIY scenes of LA and the Bay Area, Nightjars is now based in Vancouver, BC.

GIULIA Chiappetta is an independent songwriter based in Chicago. Originally hailing from the Bay Area, Giulias music has been heavily influenced by their background in multiple instruments and their exposure to rock and folk from a young age. Her songs are driven by emotive melodies and often touch on subjects such as nostalgia, queerness, and love in its many forms.

Giulia has opened for Bedouine at The Cat in the Cream in Oberlin, Ester at The Hideout in Chicago, and played a sold-out show at the Monkey House in Berkeley. She has played house shows and open mics from her own front porch to New Zealand.
