LUCAS CHOI ZIMBEL | show folk live

Lucas Choi Zimbel can croon on for hours with a smile on his faceand a skip in his step about how we are all going to hell in a handbasket. You’ll be smiling and dancing too, until you realize that you are celebrating death and taxes. You may then need to procure yourself another stiff drink and hey, why not one for the fellah on stage? He’ll take a double. – In a career that hasn’t stopped its upward trajectory since 2010, Zimbel has done it all: international tours, festivals, bars, concert halls, composing, arranging, producing, film scoring and a Tupperware party. His blend of virtuosic fingerpicking and flat picking has enchanted people the world over and made him a mainstay of Montreal’s vibrant folk music scene. In 2019 he released his first full length solo recording, ‘Tempered Tantrum’, to critical acclaim, including the observation from Fred Kraus at Minor 7th that “Zimbel shows himself to be a shrewd observer of life […] his Shakespearean ear for couplets is as wise as the mountains, and you can feel his ache of the ages”. https://lucaschoizimbel.bandcamp.com/track/the-more-we-have-the-less-we-are
