ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join local Toronto artists for an evening of music, drinks, and laughs. Indie pop-rock band Elfrida and solo artist Victoria Staff are taking the Dakota Tavern stage, playing your favourite records - and maybe something new? Hailing from Hamilton, ON, Elfrida will take you on a journey through rock, indie, and their own personal vibe. Victoria Staff's indie-pop storytelling, offset by her comedic on stage presence, is told through catchy melodies you won't forget. Watch these local artists in their own element and come out to the Dakota Tavern.
About the artists
ELFRIDA is an indie pop rock band hailing from Hamilton and the GTA, known for their distinctive sound that merges vintage rock influences with the contemporary vibes of indie pop.Three of the group members growing up near the neighbourhood of Elfrida. Before inception, solo singer-songwriter Matt Kristan began is journey in Toronto before teaming up with vocalist-guitarist Sandro Mastromatteo, bassist Gord Bosiljevac, and singer-guitarist Matt Del Conte. Together, they look to create music that fuses their distinct influences with the modern sounds of today's artists.
Born and raised in Toronto, VICTORIA STAFF was always an “anxious child.” The string that connected much of her young life was using music to communicate with family, friends, teachers, and even therapists. Over time, this coping mechanism developed into a passion for music that would lead to her career as an indie-pop artist. Staff continues to use the written word to communicate with her audience the complex themes of love, loss, and her struggle with mental health. Her debut project Records & Honesty was released in 2023, under the guidance of Canadian music producer Dan Hosh. The EP is a vulnerable self-portrait of Staff’s life, including her history working through sexual assault. The heavy undertones of her music are offset by her comedic personality on stage, on social media, and amongst her peers.
