The Violet Archers Concert History

The Violet Archers are seasoned-veterans who know how to make magic. Case in point, helmsman Tim Vesely spent two decades as a revered singer and multi-instrumentalist for Canadian rock icons, The Rheostatics. Furthermore, on Sunshine At Night he is joined by acclaimed singer and pianist, Ida Nilsen (Great Aunt Ida, Buttless Chaps), drummer Camille Giroux (Sarah Harmer), bassist Scott Remila (Raising The Fawn) and guitarist Yawd Sylvester (Wayne Omaha). Together the band has crafted a stunning sophomore album of vibrant and lush indie rock.
