"As part of a series of concerts scheduled around the city in the lead up to the Juno Awards, Rollie Pemberton is excited to hype up Hamilton as a really great music city, and debut some new tunes. Professionally known as Cadence Weapon, Pemberton is an Edmonton-born rapper, writer and poet. In 2022, he moved from Toronto to Hamilton, where he's had a busy few years."
"The album, Forager, is set to release April 24, a month before Pemberton is scheduled to release a book called Ways of Listening. Pemberton said he also has a very special release planned for later in the year, though he's keeping that one a secret. I think that's the thing about having kids sometimes it really refocuses you, he said. I make the most of the time when he's at daycare."
"Hamilton will host the 55th Juno music awards in March, and as part of the lead-up, CBC Music is presenting six concerts, starting on Jan. 22, featuring local artists. Pemberton will headline one at Bridgeworks on Jan. 23. Tickets are $15, and the show will also feature Danny Miles, a multi-instrumentalist and producer who also plays drums for the band July Talk. Pemberton said he's really excited for the concert, which will be recorded for broadcast by CBC Music."
