Helena Deland brings her solo project to Lodge Room. Her 2027 album Eternity Shrugs was produced with longtime bandmates Francis Ledoux and Alexandre Larin, alongside musicians Lysandre Ménard and Cedric Martel.
The Montreal-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has been noted for folk songs that are tender and reflective, with “Spring Bug” described as jaunty folk-pop. Reviewing Goodnight Summerland, Treble heard a “hypnotic quality” in the music and called it “a tangible collection of careful reflection.”
The Lodge Room offers a distinctive live music experience on the second floor of a building in Highland Park, where the room’s modest size brings the stage close to the audience, creating a direct connection with the performers. The venue features a bar but does not serve full meals, encouraging guests to focus on the music while enjoying drinks. Shows typically start in the evening, with doors opening around 7 pm and performances beginning an hour later, often including multiple sets or late-night shows. Seating is limited and generally first come first served, so arriving early can secure a good spot. The space’s walls and layout emphasize the music, making it a place to listen attentively while still allowing for a relaxed social vibe. This venue remains a lively part of the local music scene, hosting a range of artists and styles.
