CONNOR ROFF LAUNCHES INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN

Connor Roff has launched an Indiegogo campaign to help raise funds for his sophomore EP, titled Chasing Dreams. The singer-songwriter, who splits his time between Vancouver and the United Kingdom, aims to raise approximately $9,800 Canadian towards production of the release, CD manufacturing, working alongside a publicist, touring, and more.

Roff relocated to Vancouver from the UK as a child, and became a mainstay at local venues like the Backstage Lounge. Classically trained on the piano and self-taught on the guitar, he has traveled across Canada to share his plethora of music experiences with the world.

Roff’s self-titled debut EP was released during the winter of 2014. Produced by Winston Hauschild (Wanting), the six-track effort showcases Roff’s indie folk musings punctuated by soulful vocal delivery and a keen aptitude for the fleetingness of time. Personal favourites include “Competitive Nature” and the stunning piano ballad, “Summer Daze.”

Late last year Roff moved to London, England, ready to immerse himself and develop within a new music scene. Check out a video update, focusing on his past few months in London and the crowdfunding campaign, below.

As aforementioned, Roff is hoping to raise $9,800 Canadian, or £5,000 GBP. Perks for one’s contribution include signed copies of the forthcoming EP, personalized songs, music lessons from Roff, and in-person performances for you and your friends.

NIMBUS FALL SOCIAL PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT THE MS SOCIETY OF CANADA

EvanIvan is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based out of Vancouver, BC. His new EP, "Before the Fall," was released in July with 100% of the proceeds going to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada for research. “After I saw my dad diagnosed with the disease two years ago, I saw how much work is still needed in order to find a cure,” he remarked. The five-track EP is available for download on Evan's Bandcamp page here on a 'Pay by Donation' basis.

The show also features four other up-and-coming acts with ties to the Nimbus School of Recording: ContraSound is a hard-hitting rock band, known for their mixing of heavy tones and smooth vocals; Modern hard rock group Strip The Silence, who are currently working on their debut EP and cite Sleeping With Sirens and Pierce the Veil as influences; Less Than Kings, a Langley-based rock group. Rounding off the lineup is indie folk rock artist, Connor Roff. The self-taught guitarist combines these genres with soul and acoustic sounds 'with a British twist' to create a unique sound you wouldn't want to miss.

Founded in 1984, the MS Society of Canada provides services to people with multiple sclerosis and their families, in addition to funding research to find the cause and cure for the disease.

Doors open at 8:00 PM, and tickets can be purchased for $10 (plus s/c) at Neptoon, Red Cat and Zulu Records, or online at Northern Tickets here.
