Leslie Feist was born in Nova Scotia in 1976 and showed an aptitude for music at a young age. At age 19, a vocal cord injury forced her to give up singing for a time, but she remained active in the music scene, performing as bassist for the band Noah's Arkweld and later as rhythm guitarist for By Divine Right. To date, Feist has released five solo albums, most recently
Pleasure
in 2017. Her music has appeared in a number of feature films, including
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2
and
500 Days of Summer.
Popular singles include 1234 (which she performed alongside the Muppets on
Sesame Street
in 2008), Mushaboom and My Moon, My Man. Feist continues to tour both as a solo act (often as part of a double bill) and alongside Broken Social Scene.

''Feist is a lively and energetic performer, inciting the crowd to work up to her level of excitement right out of the gate. She alternates between soulful ballads and relentless guitar shredding and makes every attempt to create a fully immersive live experience. If you're sitting near the front, be prepared to be conscripted-Feist has been known to invite audience members onstage for accompaniment and slow dancing, among other things. As the artist is proficient in several different instruments, you can expect the live performance to be versatile and full of melodic surprises.'

Most of the set will consist of tunes from Feist's 2017 release,
Pleasure,
including the title track and the soulful Any Party. The remainder of the running time is typically filled out with the artist's best-known hits, such as 1234, I Feel It All and Sea Lion Woman. In addition, old favorites will sometimes be set to different musical arrangements, which helps to keep the live experience fresh and original.
''You can expect Feist to be onstage for about 90 minutes. However, you should plan on being at the venue for at least three hours if she's playing as part of a double bill – if you're interested in the other act.'
