Toronto ex-pats Chris Brown and Kate Fenner have been making music together for over half their lives. After their much-loved band the Bourbon Tabernacle Choir came to an end in the mid-90s, Brown and Fenner decamped to Brooklyn. But they’ve always maintained their strong ties to home, and last week they toured through Ontario in support of their new EP, Go On. The duo infuse their gorgeous brand of soul-folk with their political activism, and Go On (rushed-released so that it would be out before the U.S. election) is a heartfelt lament for the current state of their adopted homeland. Brown (above) and Fenner (below) performed in Guelph at the Riverview (actually the stately home of a local arts-loving couple who throw their doors open every month for a concert!) Friday night. -TABASSUM SIDDIQUI
