SUMMARY:SHEAL EP Release Show
DESCRIPTION:Show Description \nSHEAL\, the stage name of Sheilagh McNab\, is an East Coast raised\, Toronto-based indie-pop singer-songwriter known for her evocative piano-driven compositions and emotive vocals. She is celebrating the release of her new EP\, home-going\, on October 24 at Art House. The evening will be an intimate collection of songs about home\, memory\, and the places and people that shape us. \nBios \nSHEAL (aka Sheilagh McNab) is an East Coast-raised\, Toronto-based singer-songwriter known for her piano-driven compositions\, intimate arrangements\, and emotionally honest songwriting. Her music explores memory\, nostalgia\, home\, motherhood\, and the complicated process of returning—not just to a place\, but to an emotional plane. \nOriginally from Nova Scotia\, SHEAL draws on what she calls “nostalgia triggers” – old places\, friendships\, beaches\, and memories – to explore what happens when we revisit the past with the perspective and strength that come with age. \nNow a mother of two\, SHEAL is increasingly interested in the ways childhood resurfaces through parenting\, and in holding both rural and urban experiences in the same frame. Her songs explore nostalgia\, love\, grief\, and hope\, often arriving at a simple invitation: to trust in small openings in our lives\, let go\, and watch something grow. \nHer latest EP\, home-going\, continues this exploration of returning\, reconnecting\, and finding new ways forward. Across the record\, SHEAL considers the geographical and emotional distance between where we come from and where we are now\, while making room for the possibility that going back can also mean moving forward. \nSocial Media \nInstagram: @sheal.music   https://www.instagram.com/sheal.music/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066352697115\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SHEALMUSIC\n\n \nTickets: CAD $20 \nAvailable on Sairyo \n  \nYour ticket guarantees you a seat in the house but not necessarily a seat with a direct line of sight to the performers. We recommend coming early to snag a spot or if you need accommodations\, like a guaranteed seat for accessibility reasons\, to please email us at ac.efacesuohtraehtobfsctd-278f4e@stneve at least 72 hours before the event. \nLimited quantity of tickets available. If the event has not sold out online\, there will be tickets available at the counter. \nTicket refunds or date transfers are not available. \nIMPORTANT ACCESSIBILITY INFO \nWe provide gender-neutral washrooms. We have one wheelchair accessible washroom. There is no wheelchair ramp. There is a set of 8 stairs to get into the building (7 steps\, small landing\, and then an 8th step).
