Kandle, our favourite western Canadian adoptee, was back on the scene at the l’Esco on St-Denis in a program alongside Babyteeth and APACALDA during to M for Montreal. Surrounded by an intimate formation of two musicians, the singer-songwriter, who has been travelling the roads recently alongside her father (54-40’s, Neil Osborne) was back in town for an expected meeting with his Montreal Fans.
Going through mainly songs from for album Set the Fire, but also Holy Smoke and In Flames, she introduced us to an assortment of bluesy rock songs, languorous and dancing shades inspired by her childhood on the road, her pain chronicles, and her love life with authenticity and ardour. In a dark and smoky atmosphere, straight out of the ’90s, where only neon lights illuminated, the backing tracks and the musicians harmonized to offer us an emotional moment filled with guitar-inspired solos and melancholic vocal flights. An evening where, clearly, Kandle had as much fun as the audience in Montreal!
