Peyman Salimi

Peyman Salimi and Zoe Guigueno play Montreal on June 15 at Turbo Haüs, joined by drummer Stefan Hegerat. With a bag of new songs, their set moves between quiet, stripped-down moments and upbeat, groove-heavy songs—mixing guitar, bass, synths, and vocals in Persian and English. They’ll be playing Peyman’s older songs like Shab and Raj alongside brand new, unreleased material. Born in Iran and shaped by years in Italy, Peyman Salimi’s music reflects a life lived across different cultures. Now based in New York and pursuing research on multilingual songwriting at Georgia Tech, he writes songs that carry traces of identity, movement, and change. Zoe Guigueno (GIG-an-oh) is a New York-based bassist and songwriter with a background in jazz, folk, and indie rock. Known for her clear, direct writing style and restless energy, she has toured internationally, performed on Broadway, and worked with artists like the Mountain Goats and Snarky Puppy.
