Tragedy Ann is a compassion project from Guelph, Ontario.
When they write songs together, Liv Cazzola & Braden Phelan evoke humanizing questions with pump organ, singing saw (that’s right, the saw!), guitar and accordion. In harmony, their voices sensitively tread between the impossible fragility of bent porcelain and the nuanced joy of torn fabric, lovingly mended. Leading with curiosity, empathy, and charm, Cazzola & Phelan share vignettes inside stories inside songs – compelling listeners to consider community in ways that feel both familiar and audaciously forward-looking.
Cazzola and Phelan’s stories about love, grief, and justice – strangers, friends, and regulars, can be heard on the ambitious and orchestrally-informed Heirlooms (2022) or their enthusiastic introduction Matches (2018).
They assert that music-making is a regenerative practice, and demonstrate this mentality through ongoing collaborations with artistic peers, community partners, and advocacy groups. With this community-forward approach, Tragedy Ann have been privileged to perform across Canada and internationally in living rooms and backyards, as well as at such venues as the National Arts Centre, Celtic Connections Festival (Scotland), Haliburton Folk Society, Clonakilty International Guitar Festival (Ireland), Egersund Visefestival (Norway), Blue Skies Music Festival, Hillside Festival, and once, a Belgian horse centre.
At home, their musical and personal lives are inevitably married – both literally and figuratively. Cazzola and Phelan are passionate about community-building, gardening, and culinary adventure; going so far as to publish a cookbook alongside Heirlooms. Dedicated to living gently and ethically in community, Liv is a board member for Hillside Festival and a cofounder of Music Declares Emergency’s Canadian chapter. Braden is a former president and five-year member of Guelph Arts Council’s board of directors, and has recently launched the Yukon Gold Folk Club in Guelph.
