Bassett
Address
The Loft75 Huron Street,
Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, P6A 5P9, Canada
November 26, 2025 - November 26, 2025
Toronto-based folk duo, Basset, are full of timeless heart, with deeply human lyrics and stunning duo harmonies reminiscent of the early folk revival. Yasmine Shelton has one of those instantly recognizable voices that can dive, dip and soar all in a single phrase, while Sam Clark brings nuanced and tasteful support on guitar and other acoustic instruments.
Produced by Joshua Van Tassel, their Canadian Folk Music Award-nominated album In The Clay (2022) explores various themes of life in change, Shelton and Clark’s travels, and their lives growing up in opposite ends of Toronto. CBC Q’s Tom Power says “if you’re a lover of great close harmonies, like Simon and Garfunkel, or Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, I think you’re going to love this”.
Basset have toured heavily in the past year, including a three-month tour through Canada, the US, and the UK. Over this time they have developed a live show that is both sincere and disarmingly funny, with warmth enough to soothe anyone ready to lean in. They are making plans for a tour across Canada early in 2025, and a return to the UK and EU in the spring. They have plans to release an EP in summer 2025, with the first single “Sail On” out now.
Tickets for this event are available here.
