Basia Bulat is a Montreal-based singer-songwriter whose work bridges gospel, soul, and classic folk, carried by a distinct voice and deeply expressive multi-instrumental approach.
A three-time Polaris Music Prize finalist and Juno Award nominee, Bulat has built an international reputation through a rich and evolving catalogue, from early analogue folk recordings to more expansive collaborative works. She has toured alongside such artists as Sufjan Stevens, The National, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
In 2025, Bulat released Basia’s Palace, her most sonically expansive album to date, featuring lush arrangements, synthesizers, and layered melodies. This year, she returns to a more intimate setting, presenting a solo tour that reimagines songs from Basia’s Palace alongside highlights from her extensive catalogue.
On September 20, Bulat will tour to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts for a 7:30 pm concert, performing on guitar, piano, and autoharp.
Tickets are available through the Shadbolt Centre.
