The Rogue Folk Club Presents:
LeVOLUME and THE DEANNA KNIGHT TRIO
THURSDAY, 13 NOVEMber 2025 | DOORS AT 19:00, MUSIC FROM 19:30
This is A TICKETED EVENT
LeVolume is the exciting new project by 2-time JUNO winner (and 5-time nominee) Jenny Whiteley, Julian Brown, and Joey Wright . They call their genre “glitterfolk”, which is the funniest thing since Arnold Schoenberg brought grindcore to early 20th-century classical music. Deanna Knight is a genre-fluid singer/songwriter, backed by Simon Kendal on piano and Eric Reed on all manner of strings.
About LeVolume
LeVolume is the new and exciting project by 2X JUNO winner and 5X nominee Jenny Whiteley, Julian Brown (Apostle of Hustle) and Joey Wright (multi-instrumentalist/composer). Brought together by their love of the letter J, the trio soon found they had a lot in common musically, as well!
LeVolume’s self-titled, bilingual debut double-album was released in May, and the group is hitting the road to celebrate.
LeVolume writes their original songs in both English and French, while also interpreting and translating songs by such luminaries as Doug Paisley, Jesse Winchester and Carolyn Mark. The band also has the thrill of including an original song by Canadian literary giant Ann-Marie MacDonald in their repertoire, written just for them! Their songs explore topics from first summer love to sub-division dreams, beach-town rendezvous to small-town Ontario’s own ubiquitous Metal Dad (not doin’ too bad!).
LeVolume’s music features the rich strumming of acoustic guitars, the bright tinkling of mandolins and ethereal vocals with loads of harmonies strewn throughout. The result is a rich yet light, folk-not-folk, bubbly yet heavy concoction that is sure to intoxicate its listeners. LeVolume takes the music seriously, but not themselves, just like Fleetwood Mac, except without the drums, bass, piano, cocaine and infidelity. They’re also funny.
Having performed and recorded with a list of Canadian royalty too long to include here…ok, ok, we’ll include a few: Feist, Sarah Harmer, Amy Millan, Stars, Apostle Of Hustle, Ron Hynes, all the Whiteleys…you can bet these folks know what they’re doing in the studio and on stage! Along with the “fourth J” – Jason Mercer (Ani DiFranco, Ron Sexsmith, Rick Moranis) at the controls in Neptune’s Machine Studio on Wolfe Island, Ontario, LeVolume has created what is already being called “a modern masterpiece, or at least your new favourite Canadian dock-folk.” by fictional A&R man, J. J. Taylor.
LeVolume call it Glitterfolk, and you’ll know why when you hear it. Don’t miss these musicians’ joyful and harmony-filled performance, setting the world on fire, one heart at a time in both official languages.
Their motto? “Let’s have fun!”
