Sign In. One of Canada's most captivating and unfaltering talents is coming to Cumberland this month. Mark B rub will be playing at Cumberland's Lower East Side Yard on July 21. The address of the venue will be provided to ticket buyers. The venue will open at 7 p.m. and the show will start at 7:30. B rub has one foot rooted in folk music, and the tradition of storytelling and the poetry of spokenword. The other foot is firmly planted in a childhood love of South African music, psychedelic folk pop, and a bit of jazz thrown in. This gives B rub a broad and eclectic base from which to build his albums, all bound together by his warmly potent voice. B rub has released four albums under his own name. He also plays with the group KLIFFS, which he started with Kristina Koropecki in 2019. His albums have been nominated for a Western Canada Music Award, a Canadian Folk Music Award, and a GAMIQ Qu bec award in the past, and he has been touring Canada and Europe since 2004, playing some of the biggest festivals and stages, such as the Montreal Jazz Festival, Pal o Switzerland, Printemps du Bourges Festival France, L'Olympia Paris, France, Xjazz Festival Berlin, Germany, and the Vancouver Folk Festival, to name a few. Originally from Manitoba, he spent his formative years as a musician in East Vancouver, where he was a cofounder of The Fugitives, and learned his craft bouncing back and forth from the jazz, pop, folk, and spoken word scenes, often sharing the stages with the likes of Dan Mangan, Shane Koyczan, Archie Pateman The Breakmen back in the day. His latest album "after the flattery" KLIFFS was released in early 2023 and was hailed by the German national newspaper SPIEGEL as "So flattering and beautifully done that it leaves you flabbergasted.". B rub will be performing solo, with Archie Pateman as an opening act. Tickets are 25, with 100 per cent of the money going to the artist.
