"“Too Dumb To Quit” brings together three songwriters with a shared Kensington Market origin-still sharp, still strange, still compelling. 25 years after first crossing paths at Graffiti’s, longtime originals Monique Barry, Erika Werry and Suzanne de Bussac reunite on one bill.
Monique is a musical shapeshifter, blending grooves, piano, and ambient textures as her lyrics drift from domestic into the dreamlike. Erika delivers observant, cliché bending songs in a grainy alto, shifting effortlessly between confession and commentary. Suzanne pushes beyond her classical roots, mixing alternative, jazz, blues and world music with virtuosic piano, and dense lyrics that speak to her belief in music for healing and connection to the “world between worlds”."
