Basset to play Caroline Street Social Club in February

The Toronto folk duo are due to perform in Saltaire on 28 February 2027.

Basset are scheduled to appear at Caroline Street Social Club, on Caroline Street in Saltaire, from 7pm to 9.30pm on Sunday, 28 February 2027. The event is presented by The Live Room.

The duo comprises Yasmine Shelton and Sam Clark. Shelton sings, while Clark provides guitar and other acoustic instrumental accompaniment. Their music is described as folk, with close vocal harmonies and acoustic arrangements.

Music and album

Their 2022 album, In The Clay, was produced by Joshua Van Tassel and was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award. The songs explore change, the pair’s travels and their experiences growing up in different parts of Toronto.

Basset’s live performances are described as combining music with humour. The duo have toured in Canada, the United States and the UK, including a three-month run across those countries in the year before the event listing was published.

Their sound has been compared by CBC Radio host Tom Power to the close harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel and Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Other reviews have noted the duo’s harmonies and acoustic melodies.
