Sloan  alt rock

Thursday 21 July, 8pm  $45

Sloan is four distinct songwriting voices — guitarists Patrick Pentland and Jay Ferguson, bassist Chris Murphy and drummer Andrew Scott — that nonetheless form a cohesive collective. Long-time Toronto scenesters who will always call Halifax home. Much Music and rock-radio regulars who — via their own murderecords label — maintain strong ties to their indie roots. Money-city maniacs who have a soft spot for sweet sugar tunes. Music vets who, instead of coasting on their credentials, continue to challenge themselves with each record. A string of hits and Juno awards to their name, Sloan will rock Meaford Hall this summer.  Presented by Meaford Hall.  www.sloanmusic.com
