Dark Hand & Lamplight
Presented by Family Books
Toronto-based visual artist Shary Boyle aka Dark Hand and musician
Doug Paisley aka Lamplight first came together as an opening act for
Will Oldham’s 2006 tour of California (under his Bonnie “Prince”
Billie moniker.) For the project, Lamplight wrote a collection of new songs,
which Dark Hand used as the basis for a new series of artwork.
Then, Dark Hand created artwork that Lamplight next used as the basis
for new instrumental compositions and improvisations. In a live setting,
the duo’s collaborative performance features Lamplight singing
and playing guitar while Dark Hand creates live drawings and animates
pre-drawn images on an overhead projector. Choreographed to the lyrics
and music, Dark Hand projects her artwork onto a screen, the wall,
Lamplight, and other available surfaces. For the first time since
their original tour, the duo return to California to give a rare performance
including their original favorites and new, never-performed material.
Tickets - $10
