Kick off your weekend with a performance by The Lifers! On the Fourth Friday of the month, Guelph Museums offers free admission to the Guelph Civic Museum after 5 p.m.

The Lifers will be releasing their sophomore album in May, 2018. Their new material is more personal than ever, touching on themes of place, sisterhood, mental health, and environment. To contribute to the push towards a sustainable and equitable future, 75% of the album collaborators are female-identifying, 85% are under 30, and their activities and process reflects their mindfulness and research on how each activity impacts the environment. The album’s first single, Front Door, will be released in January 2018, with a second single to follow in March 2018, titled Sister.With influences like Feist, Dan Mangan and The Staves, The Lifers have released LP “Out and In” (2016) and EP “Set the Sails” (2014). Whether in an intimate duo arrangement or with the thunderous six-piece band, The Lifers have been an unexpected gem at festivals such as Hillside and Summerfolk (2016), on Canada’s East (2015, 2017) and West (2015) Coasts, and in listening rooms and on radio waves around Southern Ontario.
