Half a decade into their foray together, local four-piece The Canvas People has become one of the most endearing alt-indie-rock outfits the Live Music Capital has to offer. On top of being a bunch of really cool, kind dudes, The Canvas People paint with a palette of subdued synths, guitar riffs that alternate between driving and dreamy, and dynamic three-part vocal harmonies (my personal favorite).
Musicianship aside, the abstract process of cultivation is central to The Canvas People’s latest LP, Garden Party, and you can see the band’s release show tonight at The Mohawk. Garden Party is available now and to secure a clean slate for this weekend, court the “King of Fresh Starts”!
