Single life

Last time Landon A.R. Coleman crossed my radar he was opening for Nat Baldwin, celebrated double-bassist and noted Dirty Projectors member, in the cozy confines of Raw Sugar. Mavericks isn't quite as cozy as the Somerset St. cafe - actually, it may be Ottawa's most featureless venue - but he was the right man to get things started for Sharon Van Etten's headlining show.

He spruced up for the gig.



He had a whole backing band for this set, including Leif Vollebekk.



Charlotte Cornfield played the drums.



And so on!



Bonus Leif!



The other side of Landon.



Jonathan Pearce of Poorfolk and Winchester Warm fame was standing in a less-well lit portion of the stage.



Acoustic action!



Guest vocal action!



I get the impression he's in Edmonton right now, but you know he gets all over ...
