Together, Jenuine Cello and The Art Lounge bring musicians and music lovers together for a relaxed, distraction-free evening centered on the power of live performance.
The Listening Sessions #7:
with fresh breath | guitarists
March 7 AT 7PM - 9PM
Fresh Breath, the Canadian husband-and-wife duo of Josh and KT Pascoe, blend folk, alt-country, blues, and pop-rock into warmly honest songs driven by harmony-rich vocals and expressive guitar work. Based in Ontario, they have toured extensively throughout Canada and the U.S., earning recognition from organizations such as the International Singer-Songwriter Association for their original music. Their performances are intimate yet dynamic, rooted in storytelling, connection, and a shared love of genre-crossing songwriting.
Together, Fresh Breath and Jenuine Cello create a collaborative performance where songcraft meets sonic exploration. Original songwriting is reimagined through layered cello lines and vocal harmonies, while carefully curated covers are transformed into fresh, unexpected arrangements that highlight the beauty of the ensemble. This is sure to be a powerful evening in our Listening Room at The Art Lounge!
