Don't miss this intimate performance with the legendary Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr/Sebadoh/The Folk Implosion) and Laura Lee (Down the Lees) Presented by Ollie North Productions Forever in our hearts and forever at the heart of things, Lou Barlow is a founding member of Deep Wound, Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh and The Folk Implosion. After a lifetime of creativity under various enticingly-named handles, including Sentridoh, Barlow now records under his own name. The directness of using 'Lou Barlow' rather than a recording alias results in similarly direct songwriting and, in particular, a directness and strength in the author's voice - one of the loveliest instruments in the independent music canon. Laura Lee Schultz is a singer-songwriter rooted in Vancouver and Belgium, now based in the Okanagan Valley. Known for leading the post-noise rock band Down The Lees, her solo work strips everything back to the core, voice, guitar, and unfiltered emotion. Her songs carry the same intensity and lyrical honesty as her band, but in a more intimate form, revealing the tension, vulnerability, and quiet weight behind the noise. Drawing from a life shaped by working-class roots, underground music scenes, and years of touring, she delivers performances that feel raw, direct, and deeply human. With Down The Lees, she has shared stages with artists including Brutus, Pile and Sparta and released critically recognized work including Dirt (produced by Jesse Gander) and the OSIF Award-winning single “Douse,” and recorded with Steve Albini. Their recent concert film This Is What It Feels Like captures the band at full force, but in this setting, Schultz steps forward alone, where the songs begin.
