Plugging away in Saskatoon’s DIY folk scene, Ellen Froese has been tirelessly traversing stages across the city, from house parties to coffee shops to party venues and everywhere in-between. But don’t despair too much if you’ve missed Froese – this self-described “young hip-swinger folk-singer” is constantly putting in solid performances, and is returning to Amigos on Friday for the The Classy Chassys “Runnin’ Hot” album release show. There are plenty of other options this week as well, including punk stalwarts The Flatliners at Amigos on Thursday, the endless mystery of The Pxrtals this Friday at Vangelis, and metal party bangers Bison at the Capitol on Saturday.
