Doors at 5PM, Show at 6PM

Show Description

Asia Ruby shares her debut album in a never-before-seen full band show, bringing familiar songs to life with fresh energy and depth. Blending stripped-back folk storytelling with subtle instrumental interplay, she is supported by Aaron on bass and Wil on drums. Her lo-fi Americana folk sound unfolds into dynamic arrangements that reveal her music in a whole new way, creating an intimate listening-room experience rooted in emotional songwriting and warm, textured grooves. Opening the evening is Ottawa favourite Eliza Rankin.

Bios

Asia Ruby is an Ottawa-born singer-songwriter who returned home in 2025 and spent the past year recording songs written over a decade of travel for her debut album, The Quiet or the View. A multi-instrumentalist on piano, flute, and guitar, she draws inspiration from Nick Drake, John Prine, and John Martyn, crafting lo-fi Americana folk with bold songwriting and intimate textures. Singer-songwriter Eliza Rankin plays honest and emotional music with raw vocals and delicate composition.
