About

Join Vancouver folk-rockers, Echo Nebraska as they celebrate the release of their new LP, HOLD UP TO THE FIRE on Friday, August 3 at The Park Theatre in Winnipeg, MB. Joining Echo Nebraska is Black River Drifters & Lakes and Pines.

Echo Nebraska
Hold up to the Fire, Echo Nebraska’s sophomore effort, sees the Vancouver folk-rock outfit expand on their reputation of combining soul-strung acoustic songs with melodic pop sensibilities. After losing bassist and founding member, Gunn Park to cancer in September 2016, the band was determined to write music that was universally accessible and affirming, focusing on introspective themes of love, loss and perseverance.

Since releasing their debut EP, Send the Ships in 2015, Echo Nebraska has extensively toured Canada, landing in showcases such as BOW 2016 and CMW 2017. Send the Ships has charted highly on numerous campus stations across Canada, reaching a high of #3 on CJSF. 

Echo Nebraska is currently on tour, presenting Hold up to the Fire. 

Black River Drifters
Winnipeg’s Black River Drifters draw on the past but push the boundaries of alt-country/roots rock. Their two albums have won praise from fans and critics alike, and their raucous live show appeals to music lovers from all walks of life.

Lakes and Pines
From the humble beginnings of acoustic sets in coffee shops to house concerts and festival stages, Manitoba's own Lakes and Pines continue to defy genres and boundaries while bringing listeners along for the journey. Whether it's an acoustic duo, trio set or the full band, you can almost feel the seasons change through the eclectic collection of songs performed.

2017 marked the release of their first full-length album "Peace Comes at Last". The dynamic compositions bring a powerful narrative to the forefront with nature and the human condition prevalent throughout the 11 tracks of this debut. The acoustic roots of each song are woven with ambient guitars, diverse rhythms and a strong string section providing listeners with a wealth of warm tones.
