“Cruiser Conversations” – Flara K Set Out On A Cross Canadian RV Trip, Raising Funds For Unison BeneVoLent fund
Tomorrow Montreal’s Flara K will be embarking on an RV trip across Canada to share new music, connect with communities and raise funds for the Unison Benevolent Fund. The tour is in support of their new EP titled Anxious, Irrational, Fashionable, which is being released on October 2nd. The duo, who are known for blending nostalgic R&B with modern, soul infused Pop will adding a third member to the trip, their rescue dog Fred, and I can’t wait to wait to start following this adventure on their socials. Sam and Collin will be connecting with music communities across the country and engaging in conversations with the likes of Manitoba Music, Break Out West, Regina Folk Festival. They’ll also share live performances and be joined by special guests Soul Push, The Treble, and more all from a safe distance via their instagram page, which you can follow here https://www.instagram.com/flara_k/ As if that wasn’t all cool enough in itself, during these trying times Flara K will be raising funds throughout the trip for Unison Benevolent Fund- a non-profit, registered charity that provides counselling and emergency relief services to the Canadian music community.
“With all of our 2020 plans being cancelled, we wanted to take this opportunity to do something safe that would still allow us to explore and connect with the music community’;” shares the duo. “We want to see all that Canada has to offer both scenically and creatively, all the while starting a conversation with artists around Canada to see how they’re navigating in this new era of the music industry.“
And if you’re excited to get a sneak peek of the RV, you’re in luck! Flara K just released a beatiful acoustic version of their song “Patience”, and the music video takes place right in the RV. The original version of Patience was released last month, and it’s a great electronic pop track, but this acoustic version really let’s you soak in the lyrics and how stunning Sam’s voice is.
“This song was written about my experience with being in an unhealthy and verbally abusive workplace that led me to a very dark state of mind;” shares Sam. “Through my struggle with depression, I realized how much love, strength, and patience is really needed to get yourself out of that state of mind and find hope even when it feels impossible.”
