Great Lake Swimmers & Elliott BROOD: Ballads & Badlands

Two of Canada’s most beloved indie folk rock bands share the stage for one unforgettable night of music, storytelling, and soul-stirring soundscapes.

Elliott BROOD, the dynamic Hamilton-based trio known for their foot-stomping energy and cinematic songwriting, bring their signature blend of folk, rock, and alt-country to the Tidemark stage. With accolades that include a JUNO Award and a Polaris Prize short list nod, their music spans from the trenches of history to deeply personal reflections, all delivered with gritty heart and harmony.

Joining them are Great Lake Swimmers, led by the introspective and poetic Tony Dekker. Known for their atmospheric arrangements and haunting vocals, the band’s music is rooted in place and memory. Their latest track, One More Dance Around The Sun, is a warm, golden-hour anthem about resilience, cycles, and quiet hope — a perfect companion to Elliott BROOD’s evocative sound.

Presented by the Tidemark Theatre and Got Pop? Concerts, this double header promises a powerful night of music from two national treasures.
