Never Destroy Us: The Dears at Pasaguero

Montreal's Juno and Polaris-nominated indie rock darlings have nurtured a steady international profile throughout their 17-year history, but this pivotal concert performance has special significance. On the cusp of succumbing to the realities of a music industry in decline, the sold-out, week-long stay in Mexico City marks the Dears' decision to rebuild their career, as they are greeted with an unprecedented response.

All Access: Jill Barber

Inspired by great ladies of song like Ella Fitzgerald and Edith Piaf, Jill Barber transports us to the golden age of popular music with her sultry contralto voice and original songwriting.
