Michael Bernard Fitzgerald w/ Michaela Slinger — live event

In 2024, Michael Bernard Fitzgerald returns with his sixth studio album, Horizon Lines, a poignant exploration of self-discovery and a worthy follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2020 LP, Love Valley. The record delves into the transformative journey of fatherhood, blending soulful melodies with introspective lyrics that resonate deeply with listeners. Partnering with friend and producer Josh Gwilliam, the duo navigated their new realities of parenthood by collaborating remotely—sharing voice notes, percussion loops, and audio files through sleepless nights and nap times. Fitzgerald’s innovative ideas are evident in his celebrated live shows. Renowned for his inventive performances, including his Farm Tour—a traveling venue experience that brings live music to farmland across North America—the third sold-out Farm Tour was completed in Summer 2024. Touring alongside musical luminaries Bryan Adams, Ben Harper, and Kings of Leon, Fitzgerald is known for his captivating stage presence and dedication to creating meaningful connections with his audience. With Love Valley at 11 million+ streams and Horizon Lines promising to continue this trajectory, Horizon Lines is a testament to his enduring passion for creating hopeful songs. Horizon Lines invites listeners on a journey of personal reflection and connection, showcasing Fitzgerald’s ongoing evolution as an artist always seeking to create music from the heart. Michaela Slinger is somewhat of a spirituality skeptic, but her sister convinced her to have a FaceTime session with a psychic in 2021, who foreshadowed the following year and a half of songwriting and travel that led to the creation of her sophomore album 'This Can’t Last Forever'. Slinger is a Vancouver-based pop singer-songwriter and “legendary songbird in the making” (MRG Group). The new album is “sonically ambitious […] and infectiously joyful” (RANGE Magazine), and was written between Vancouver, Nashville, Los Angeles, and Toronto with collaborators including Khalid Yassein (Wild Rivers) and Ryan Stewart (Carly Rae Jepsen). Concerned by the pressure to constantly produce content, Slinger embarked on a 19-show self-booked North American tour to promote her record the “old-fashioned way”. It seems that strategy is working—she was hand-picked to open for Dermot Kennedy at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage, graced the cover of Amazon Music's 'Fresh Folk and Acoustic' playlist, was spotlighted SiriusXM's Poplandia 'About To Break' program, and featured on CBC Music’s ‘Songs You Need To Hear’. Slinger’s command of the stage showcases a unique blend of stop-you-dead vocals and unexpectedly hilarious stage banter. Slinger is arguably a singer-songwriter first, and a pop artist second. The title ‘This Can’t Last Forever’ is ultimately a statement of fact—the sole, inescapable condition of living that she works to accept on this new record.
