DESCRIPTION:Come to Pub Night at the Old Church Theatre. The “Tipsy Vicar”
is open at 5PM with music from 6-9PM\nJoin us on December 11th for some C
hristmas music\, old favourites and original tunes with String Mashup!\nTh
ere’s no admission charge but we will “pass the hat” (or maybe the offerin
g plate) for donations to the band.\nTheir name says a lot about them. The
y all play a variety of string instruments and take turns at singing lead
at various times. The mashup part refers to “a mixture or fusion of dispar
ate elements”\, which perfectly describes how they blend different ages of
women and men\; blending different styles of music and harmonies from old
40s classics to 50s and 60s pop and country\, through to today’s folk and
some original tunes written by Lisa Gilmore.

Come to Pub Night at the Old
Church Theatre. The “Tipsy V
icar” is open at 5PM with music from 6-9PM
\n
Join us on December 11th for some Christmas music\, old favourit
es and original tunes with String Mashup!
\n
There’s no admission charge but we will “pass the hat” (or maybe the
offering plate) for donations to the band.
\n
Their name says a lot a
bout them. They all play a variety of string instruments and take turns at
singing lead at various times. The mashup part refers to “a mixture or fu
sion of disparate elements”\, which perfectly describes how they blend dif
ferent ages of women and men\; blending different styles of music and harm
onies from old 40s classics to 50s and 60s pop and country\, through to to
day’s folk and some original tunes written by Lisa Gilmore.

We’re happy to be holding the
Quinte region CD Release concert with Tom Savage and the Savage Family B
and!
Tom Savage has
been making critically acclaimed music for over 20 years\, but when the p
andemic arrived it essentially brought him back to the beginning. Holed up
at home\, he began piecing together a new collection of songs much like h
e did when he first acquired a four-track cassette recorder as a teenager.
\nHowever\, through the benefits of digital technology\, Savage coul
d now send his multi-instrumental parts to his trusted rhythm section\, ba
ssist Jason Mercer (Ani DiFranco\, Ron Sexsmith) and drummer Bonz Bowering
\, resulting in 21st Century Lo-Fi\, Savage’s most diverse album to date.<
br />\n“This record has a different feel than my previous albums\, largely
due to the circumstances under which it was recorded\,” he says. “I made
use of virtual instruments—Midi\, synths—to achieve the sound I was lookin
g for\, and I feel this record is the closest I’ve gotten to what I hear i

attention on this project\, because in normal times\, the recording proce
ss would be broken up with tour dates\, and other business distractions.”<
br />\nIndeed\, Savage greatly expands upon his familiar roots-based sound
throughout 21st Century Lo-Fi\, as evidenced by “Down Here\,” on which he
offers a rapid-fire indictment of economic disparity overtop a pulsing be
at. \n“That song focuses on what I believe is a major issue we are cu

tten even more askew over these past two years.” \nAlthough like most

the fearless trust he’s always placed in his audience to follow him where

in rural Nova Scotia\, Canada\, Charlie spent his youth learning to play
guitar while immersed in his father’s vinyl record collection – discoverin

nuary\, 2018 marked 45 years as a Singer\, Songwriter and Storyteller. Mus
ic is my life. I love to sing\, write\, play and tell stories about a life
I had perfectly planned. Those plans went more curly than straight\, teac
hing me that too many plans are laughable while those curves inform my Mus
e. My 9th studio album feels like my first. “Into The Blue”\, produced and
largely co-written by Ken Whiteley is the sum of a 43 year artistic journ
ey. It comes straight from the heart and the songs reflect a deep desire t
o move forward in my musical life authentically\, with an eye on looking b
ack at where it all began.\n\n\n \n\n\n“Into The Blue” dropped April 8\, 2
017\, charting on Stingray Music\, The Blues Radio Network\, CBC\, Toronto
Blues Society Charts\, Blues and Routes Radio\, and Folk Routes to name a
few. The music is heavily influenced by Blues\, Roots\, Gospel\, Folk and
the varied tapestry woven at family Kitchen Parties courtesy of my native
Nova Scotian childhood.\n\n\n \n\n\nI am humbled to have been mentored by
Ken Whiteley\, my music could not have been placed in better hands. The s
ongs are reflective and meant to create hope and optimism through strength
\, perseverance\, trust and spirit. We cannot get enough of that in the wo
rld.\n\n\nI look forward to making your acquaintance and may all your blue
s be the musical kind”.\n\n\n~ Kim Doolittle

2ish is the musical collaboration between virtuoso
instrumentalists Brandon Scott Besharah: acoustic fingerstyle guitar\, hur
dy gurdy and saxophones and Saskia Tomkins: nyckelharpa\, viola and violin
.
\n\n
The music of 2ish has been desc
ribed as a “ living film score”\, or as the style often referred to as “He
avy Wood”. Purely instrumental\, their original compositions often remind
the listener of music once created by the artists Michael Hedges\, Oliver
Schroer\, Stefane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt.
Saskia was born in the UK and
began playing classical violin at 7 years old. She discovered folk music
at 11 years\, and jazz at 17. Because of her very mixed heritage\, she enj
oys exploring and connecting to each of these through the music.

heridge\, Sin E\, Uriah Heep\, The English Shakespeare Company\, The Chief
tains\, Toronto Tabla Ensemble\, and various Dance and Theatre troupes. Sh
e has done much work with dancers and theatre companies and taught many su
mmer schools.
\n
Her recording career covers over 30 albums and numer
ous Radio broadcasts including work for the BBC. She is an all Britain Iri
sh Fiddle Champion. Since arriving in Canada in 2007 with her family\, she
has been embraced by the music community. Saskia is currently working wit
h 4th Line Theatre Company and Mackenzie Roe Theatre Company\; with an Iri
sh/Canadian trio\, Cairdeas: is principle viola in the Northumberland Symp
hony Orchestra and co-runs an Irish session in Bowmanville.
\n
Saskia
frequently works with 4th Line Theatre Company\, David Newland\, Kim Dool

asterful fingerstyle guitar work and soulful voice bring an unmistakable i
ntensity to his live performances.\nOne of six kids raised in the town of
Rothesay\, New Brunswick\, the Montreal-based recorded his eighth album Co

de Soleil\, Patrick Watson)\, the album features some of Canada’s finest r
oots players\, including the versatile MacDonald\, veteran sideman Bob Sta

Following the awar
d-winning 2017 debut Back and Forth\, the St. John’s- based Sandu
and Andrew Laite wanted to keep the core of that album’s artistic success
es—musical and collaborative harmony\, folk storytelling—while recognizing
audience expectations have intensified. “The first album ends up being th
e greatest hits of what you’ve done so far\,” says Laite. “With record num
ber two\, you want it to be in the ring with the first one\, only bigger a
nd stronger.”
\n
For their sophomore album Leaving With Nothing
em>\, Sandu and Laite enlisted producer Adam Hogan\, best known for his an
themic guitar work as a member of Newfoundland’s most beloved indie-rock o
utfit\, Hey Rosetta!. Recording in bits in houses around St. John’s\, Rube
& Rake (& Adam) worked to expand the band’s sound to include more instrum
entation\, pleasingly surprising time changes\, and an overall expansion o
f intention.
\n
“We knew that this grouping of songs deserved a diffe
rent treatment and wanted to introduce somebody with different instincts a
nd tendencies\,” says Laite. “We were confident that Adam would shed the r
ight light on these songs while also maintaining our methodology.” “He’s a
very engaged person\,” adds Sandu\, “who had a lot of thoughts on every a
spect of the recording process.”
\n
Sandu and Laite have always maxim
ized the duo configuration—even singing together at a single condenser mic
rophone\, allowing for space and patience within the songs—but this is the
first time they’ve consciously pushed outside it\, to fill in that air wi
th new tones and textures in the form of a full band. The resulting record
evokes Blue Rodeo at its most rollicking\, Great Lake Swimmers at their m
ost thoughtful\, and The Tallest Man On Earth at their most gently contemp
lative.
\n
The best distillation of all these themes\, music and expe
ctation and place\, comes at the album’s midpoint\, in the five-minute “10
-33”—CB radio code for “mayday”—where Rube & Rake reveal themselves to be
ready for anything. “This ain’t a common road\, but you already know\,” si
ngs Sandu\, “I will be leaving with nothing\, a-dead-head I will go.”
\n
The collection of 10 songs comprising Leaving With Nothing f
its comfortably in the folk tradition of road-worn tales and lost love lam
ents told across an ever-changing\, often lonely landscape. Rube & Rake is
for late-night wind-downs\, long drives\, a walk by the water: solitary a
nd steadfast\, honest and true.

DESCRIPTION:Held together by equal measures of heartbreak and hope\, and fe
aturing performances from some of Canada’s most accomplished instrumentali
sts\, Under the Big Big Sky plays like the soundtrack to a vintage film. A
fluent mix of blues\, jazz and R&B tinged western swing that pays homage
to some of Russell deCarle’s all-time favourite artists while remaining si
multaneously fresh and familiar.\n\n\nAs lead vocalist and bassist of icon
ic Canadian country roots band Prairie Oyster\, deCarle is no stranger to
awards and accolades. Over their career the 2008 CCMA Hall of Honour induc
tees have racked up an impressive list of JUNO and Canadian Country Music
Awards\, gold and platinum selling records and number one singles. As a so
ngwriter deCarle has also been honoured with two SOCAN Song of the Year Aw
ards. Once in 1994\, for Prairie Oyster’s first number one single ‘Such A
Lonely One’\, and then again in 2008 for ‘One Way Track’\, his co-write wi
th Canadian folk legend\, Willie P. Bennett.\n\n\nFor some artists the urg
e to make a solo record asserts itself almost as soon as they start to gai
n attention as part of a successful band – sometimes even before they\, or
their audience\, truly know who they are. Not so for deCarle. “For decade
s people have been asking for a solo record\,” he says\, “but I never thou
ght I was ready and the band always satisfied the musical part of my life.
” \n\n\nWhat finally got him fired up enough to strike out on his own in t
he studio was spending some quality time alone with his acoustic guitar. A
lthough he’d initially intended to weight Under the Big Big Sky more heavi
ly in favour of covers than original material\, the more he played and wro
te\, the more he found himself falling naturally into a style that marked
a definite\, if unintentional\, departure from his past work. \n\n\nWhen i
t became clear that the balance of the record would feature his own materi
al\, deCarle approached longtime friend\, pianist/arranger/producer John S
heard (The Guess Who\, Dan Hill) and asked him to take a listen. “We’d wan
ted to do a project together for years. He’s absolutely one of my favourit
e musicians in the world and musically we share a lot of things.” \n\n\nAf
ter Sheard signed on to produce the record\, deCarle enlisted the talents
of another old friend\, engineer L. Stu Young (Prince\, Ronnie Hawkins\, G
uns n’ Roses\, David Wilcox)\, who assisted on Prairie Oyster’s 1991 break
through record Everybody Knows and mixed their most recent release\, 2006’
s One Kiss. \n\n\nWith Young manning the board and Sheard producing and pl
aying piano and vibes\, the next step\, deCarle says\, was putting togethe
r a wish list of players to join them in the studio. Among them\, guitaris
t Steve Briggs\, string bassist George Koller and drummers\, Mark Kelso an
d Al Cross\, as well as an all-star cast of guests including: bassist Russ
Boswell\, fiddler Drew Jurecka\, percussionist John Adames and B3 virtuos
o Denis Keldie\; guitarists Kevin Breit\, Amos Garrett\, David Wilcox and
Prairie Oyster bandmate\, Keith Glass\; vocalists Amoy and Ciceal Levy\, A
manda Walther and Sheila Carabine of Dala and Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy\; and
a horn section featuring deCarle’s old friend and musical compadre Chris
Whiteley on cornet\, Gord Myers on trombone and Colleen Allen on tenor and
baritone sax. \n\n\n“I’m honoured that everybody I wanted on the record e
nded up on it. They really dug deep and did an incredible job.” But assemb
ling this ‘fantasy camp’ of players wasn’t about cramming as many talents
on each track as possible\, deCarle stresses. It was about complimenting t
he songs with performances by people he believed would make a personal con
nection with his songs\; the same kind of connection he hopes his audience
will make. “For people to be emotionally invested in this\, to be touched
in some way\, that would be the best thing that could happen. That’s why
I made the record.” \n\n\nAs much as Under the Big Big Sky may represent a
new beginning for deCarle\, it’s not a conscious effort to shake off the
label of ‘country singer’\, but a natural extension of his talents as both
a songwriter and interpreter. “I’ve always thought of myself as a singer\
, not just a country singer. I’m a music lover first and foremost – a prod
uct of all the stuff I’ve ever listened to – and my tastes are very broad.
To me this is a torchy\, bluesy record more than anything else. It’s cert
ainly a product of where I came from musically.” \n\n\nJust exactly where
that is\, however\, isn’t easy to pin down\, and nor should it be. The son
gs and the subjects deCarle writes about defy being crammed into some fabr
icated musical zip code for the sake of convenience. “Growing up when I di
d\, radio wasn’t homogenized. I’m pretty sure that the Beatles ‘Ticket To
Ride’ and ‘Tiger By the Tail’ by Buck Owens were on the pop charts at the
same time\, and I’m sure there was a Frank Sinatra song on that same chart
.” \n\n\nLike the soundtrack deCarle grew up with\, Under the Big Big Sky
covers a lot of ground stylistically. From the sweet soulful blues of ‘Can
’t Find the Song in My Heart’\, to melancholy ballads like opener\, ‘East
of the Sun\, West of the Moon’ by Robert M. David\, to unabashedly upbeat
tunes like ‘Girl With the Golden Hair’ that are as reminiscent of old time
rock and roll as they are of the music of classic crooners like Dean Mart
in. And although the record defies easy classification\, it’s perfectly cl
ear about the fact that deCarle can find inspiration for his songs just ab
out anywhere\; from the big\, big Saskatchewan sky he references on the al
bum’s title track\, to the ‘Fingernail Moon’ hanging above his own backyar
d in rural Ontario\, to the sad songs and ballads he’s loved since first h
earing them on the airwaves as a teenager. \n\n\n“I could sing sad songs a
nd ballads all night. It’s true\, man. I kind of live at 72 beats per minu
te. Emotionally I think I’ve always been affected by the bluesy side of li
fe\; that’s always been what stirs it up for me.” Still\, even on heartbre
akers like his cover of the Cindy Walker classic\, ‘Goin’ Away Party’\, or
his own ‘Blues for Christmas’ and ‘Don’t Ask The Question’\, deCarle poss
esses an uncanny ability to weave a little bit of hope into every line he
sings. \n\n\nThe result is a remarkably eclectic\, but entirely cohesive r
ecord. Recorded over the course of 2008-2009 and freshly released in Octob
er 2010\, Under the Big Big Sky is more than just a confident\, compelling
exploration of deCarle’s singular voice as a songwriter. It’s an unflinch
ing reflection of where he lives musically and literally\, a celebration o
f the music and musicians who began to influence him long before he began
his career forty years ago and a gathering of his closest and dearest musi
cal friends. — Kevin Young\n\n\n\n a.unii-listing-button { display: inline

DESCRIPTION:Award winning country singer/songwriter Deborah Lynn was born a
nd raised in Stirling Ontario. Traditional country roots with musical inf
luences in folk and classic rock paired with her incredible vocal talent c
onsistently leave audiences wanting to hear more.\nDeborah Lynn started si
nging\, playing guitar and sharpening her songwriting skills from a young
age. However\, music was put on the backburner after college while she was
a small business owner in Toronto. It was a fateful trip to Nashville tha
t reignited her artistic passion and put her on the road to becoming a ris
ing country music artist. There she had the opportunity to play the songwr
iter’s open mic at the iconic Bluebird Café and join the house band on sta
ge for a couple songs at the famed Tootsies on Broadway.\nProud CCMA and C
MAO member Deborah Lynn released her debut single April 17th\, 2020 called
Revive a Ghost. It quickly rose to Number 1 on the Canadian Indie Countr
y Countdown and was nominated for a Josie Award for best female country so
ng. The Josie Awards\, hosted in Tennessee\, are the largest internationa
l Indie Awards show with upwards of 50\,000 submissions annually. For Deb
orah Lynn\, watching her debut single rocketing all the way to the top of
the Canadian Indie Country chart cemented that decision to jump in with bo
th feet.\n2022 was an exciting year for Deborah Lynn as she had the amazin
g opportunity to open for Canadian Country music star Jade Eagleson at her
hometown Stirling Fair. She was also featured on the main stage at sever
al festivals throughout the area including the Hollyrood Jamboree and the
Country Country Jamboree. Released in April\, her second single Something
Good\, channels her country music influences to tell an enchanting tale a
bout letting go of the past. Foregoing the traditional take on despair in
love songs\, Deborah Lynn frames “Something Good” as a bright reflection
on personal growth and overcoming the negative obstacles in life. “This is
a song about letting go of the past\, learning from it\, and knowing that
if you are patient enough\, good things will come your way\,” she shares.
Her third single Rosé All Day is a double down stomp-stomp and an irresi
stible sing-along chorus that Deborah Lynn punches through with her bright
\, sassy vocal. Released in August 2022 Rosé All Day landed a coveted spo
t on the much-loved list of summer party anthems. Both releases rose to th
e top 10 on the Canadian Indie Country Countdown with Rosé All day crackin
g the top 5.\n\n a.unii-listing-button { display: inline-block\; margin-bo

DESCRIPTION:You will come to listen\, and walk away singing. Gathering Spar
ks is the graceful collision of Eve Goldberg and Jane Lewis—musical friend
s who blend tight harmonies\, finely crafted songs\, and a love of partici
patory singing to create an intimate and uplifting experience. Their inclu
sive approach embraces folk\, pop\, blues and gospel influences tastefully
played on acoustic guitar\, piano\, accordion\, and ukulele.\nWith their
infectious mix of styles and compelling vocal blend\, Gathering Sparks has
been making some big waves. Their debut 6-song CD was nominated for a 201
4 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year\, and they have be
come an audience favourite. Whether they are belting it out a capella styl
e\, tugging on your heartstrings with a folky original\, crooning a jazzy
swing tune\, or getting into the spirit with a gospel-inflected singalong\
, Gathering Sparks performances make fans out of listeners with their stel
lar harmonies and fine musicianship.\nEVE GOLDBERG has lifted audiences ac
ross North America with her heartfelt and insightful songs and solid instr
umental work. Her fluid vocals embrace all the styles she loves—folk\, blu
es\, country\, bluegrass\, old time\, and jazz—with equal affection and ma
stery. She was recently honoured with the esteemed 2021 Estelle Klein Awar
d\, given annually to an individual who has made a significant contributio
n to the folk community.\nJANE LEWIS has followed her love of words from t
he printing press to the spotlight with soul-bending lyrics\, transcendent
compositions\, and crystal clear vocals. Her thoughtful piano and accordi
on playing\, mastery of harmony\, and upbeat presence add a sparkle to any
stage.\nTheir newest album\, “All That’s Real\,” was released in Septembe
r 2019 on Borealis Records. The lead track\, “Bringing in the Light\,” was
recognized with a 2019 Folk Music Ontario “Songs From the Heart” award in
the singer-songwriter category. All That’s Real reached #7 on the Folk Al
liance International (FAI) Folk Chart for October 2019\, and the winter so
lstice-themed “Bringing in the Light” charted #1 on the FAI Folk Chart in

You will come to listen\, and walk away singing. Gather
ing Sparks is the graceful collision of Eve Goldberg and Jane Lewis—musica
l friends who blend tight harmonies\, finely crafted songs\, and a love of
participatory singing to create an intimate and uplifting experience. The
ir inclusive approach embraces folk\, pop\, blues and gospel influences ta
stefully played on acoustic guitar\, piano\, accordion\, and ukulele.
\n
With their infectious mix of styles and compelling vocal blend\, Gath
ering Sparks has been making some big waves. Their debut 6-song CD was nom
inated for a 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year\,
and they have become an audience favourite. Whether they are belting it ou
t a capella style\, tugging on your heartstrings with a folky original\, c
rooning a jazzy swing tune\, or getting into the spirit with a gospel-infl
ected singalong\, Gathering Sparks performances make fans out of listeners
with their stellar harmonies and fine musicianship.
\n
EVE GOLDBERG
has lifted audiences across North America with her heartfelt and insightfu
l songs and solid instrumental work. Her fluid vocals embrace all the styl
es she loves—folk\, blues\, country\, bluegrass\, old time\, and jazz—with
equal affection and mastery. She was recently honoured with the esteemed
2021 Estelle Klein Award\, given annually to an individual who has made a
significant contribution to the folk community.
\n
JANE LEWIS has fol
lowed her love of words from the printing press to the spotlight with soul
-bending lyrics\, transcendent compositions\, and crystal clear vocals. He
r thoughtful piano and accordion playing\, mastery of harmony\, and upbeat
presence add a sparkle to any stage.
\n
Their newest album\, “All Th
at’s Real\,” was released in September 2019 on Borealis Records. The lead
track\, “Bringing in the Light\,” was recognized with a 2019 Folk Music On
tario “Songs From the Heart” award in the singer-songwriter category. All
That’s Real reached #7 on the Folk Alliance International (FAI) Folk Chart
for October 2019\, and the winter solstice-themed “Bringing in the Light”
charted #1 on the FAI Folk Chart in December 2019. Gathering Sparks and t
he new album were featured in Penguin Eggs magazine in Winter 2019\, and t
he album made 2019 “Best Of” lists of several radio hosts\, including Rich
Warren’ nationally syndicated US folk radio show “The Midnight Special” o
ut of WFMT in Chicago\, and Jan Hall’s syndicated “Folk Roots Radio with J
an Hall.”

DESCRIPTION:Toronto-based Americana singer-songwriter Jerry Leger has a str
ong following in Europe…These are the worn-in songs and poetic melancholia
of a welcome stranger\, with a laconic style that lives somewhere between
Blue Rodeo and Lucinda Williams. –Brad Wheeler\, GLOBE & MAIL\nJerry Lege
r has that spark in him that all the great songwriters have. He’s the real
deal. –RON SEXSMITH\nThe Gently sardonic\, arch wordplay and country-rock
twang recall Nick Lowe. –Nick Hasted\, UNCUT\n \nBorn in the mid-80s\, si
nger-songwriter Jerry Leger came of age in the East End of Toronto. Surrou
nded by music from a young age\, his grandfather first turned him onto Han
k Williams. Leger was intrigued by the ways that Williams’ songs told a st
ory and often conjured up mysterious images in his head. Other seminal inf
luences were added including John Lennon (and the Beatles)\, Bob Dylan\, L
ightnin’ Hopkins\, Leonard Cohen\, Elvis Costello\, Neil Young\, the Everl
y Brothers\, Tom Waits\, and Gordon Lightfoot.\nIn 2005\, a nineteen year
old Leger cut his first independently released album. In the sixteen years
since then the singer-songwriter has recorded 10 additional albums under
his own name. In 2014 he was signed to the Cowboy Junkies’ label\, Latent
Recordings\, releasing the critically acclaimed Early Riser that same year
. His second Latent release\, Nonsense and Heartache\, followed in 2017. A
year later the two-album set was picked up by Proper Records for distribu
tion in the U.K and Europe\, leading to extensive touring throughout the c
ontinent\, in the process opening up a whole new audience for Leger’s fine
ly crafted songs. With his next Latent album\, 2019’s Time Out for Tomorro
w\, Leger began to receive positive notices in such high-profile music mag
azines as Uncut and Rolling Stone.\nReleased in March of 2022\, Jerry’s la
test album Nothing Pressing (produced by Michael Timmins) presents his wor
k in two starkly contrasting soundscapes\; solo acoustic recordings (with
little embellishment) and prime roots rock ‘n’ roll featuring his long-tim
e band The Situation. Paired with such evocative lyrics are wonderfully cr
afted melodies\, soulful vocals and the spirit and energy of a mature song
writer\, comfortable in his skin and growing as an artist with every relea
se.\nWith his band\, Leger resumed touring Europe and the UK in support of
Nothing Pressing\, playing sold out shows in London\, Groningen\, Trondhe
im and receiving rave reviews everywhere they went. Upon returning to Toro
nto\, they performed for a packed house at Paradise Theatre.\n\n a.unii-li

DESCRIPTION:AL LERMAN is a veteran bluesman with a highly personal style\,
able to move seamlessly through the windows of Country Blues\, Chicago Blu
es\, Soul Blues\, Americana and New Orleans Blues. With a great knowledge
of the blues tradition on both harmonica and guitar\, he brings that sensi
bility to songs that are written about his own contemporary life and times
. His soulful playing\, blowing and singing coupled with his wry and thoug
htful songwriting make him an engaging and hypnotic solo performer. He is
considered among the top harmonica players in the country\, and he has bee
n heard on countless recordings and live sessions. Al was founder and lead
er of the much-loved band FATHEAD\, and worked with them from 1992-2016\,
garnering two JUNO AWARDS. After years of writing for FATHEAD and his own
solo recordings\, Al has a legacy of songs that few Canadian blues artists
can match. His newest album “Northern Bayou” was released on April 12\, 2
019\, where it remained on the Top Ten Canadian Album Chart for over six m
onths. It charted internationally and ranked #4 in Canada on the annual Ro
ots Music’s Radio Top 200 Blues Recordings of 2019.\n \n\n a.unii-listing-

ic and old friends. The band will feature her longtime collaborators Joey
Wright\, Amy Millan\, Erik Allen\, Sam Allison and Mike Eckert. Jenny and
her band will be dazzling audiences with all the crown jewels from Hopetow

ed Jenny Whiteley’s striking vocals and songwriting to Emmy Lou Harris and
Lucinda Williams\, raving that she “swings effortlessly from black-hearte
d back-porch Americana to Laurel Canyon country” (No Depression).\n\n\nJen
ny got an early start playing music with her father and uncle\, Chris and
Ken Whiteley\, who formed the popular Original Sloth Band in the heyday of
Toronto folk. Throughout Jenny’s childhood\, she and her brother Dan were

ademia to study anthropology at Concordia in Montreal\, Jenny returned to
Toronto where she taught herself to play guitar in her early 20’s and purs
ue her songwriting career in earnest. After several years performing and r
ecording with her bluegrass band Heartbreak Hill\, Jenny recorded and co-p
roduced her first solo effort\, a self-titled album\, in 2000. The album w
on the Juno Award for Roots Traditional Album of the year. Jenny’s follow-
up record Hopetown was her first with producer and friend Steve Dawson. Re
markably\, this record won the Juno for Roots Album in 2003\, making Jenny
one of only a few artists to win Juno Awards for their first and second r
ecords. Her next two albums Dear (2006) and Forgive or Forget (2009) also
earned glowing reviews from critics in North America and Europe.\n\n\nWhit
eley has co-written songs with Colin Linden\, Fred Eaglesmith\, and her mu
sician husband Joey Wright\, among others\, and has collaborated with many
other renowned Canadian artists\, recording vocals on Sarah Harmer’s hit
song “Basement Apartment\,” Melwood Cutlery’s Campfire and Prairie Oyster’
s re-release of “Man In The Moon.”\n\n\nIn addition to her two Juno wins\,
she has been nominated four times as a solo artist and with The Junior Ju
g Band and Heartbreak Hill. She has a SOCAN No. 1 Song Award for her song
“Baby\, I” as performed by Amy Millan\, a gold record for her family band’

DESCRIPTION:Juno nominated Canada’s roots/swing duo “Over The Moon” are tot
ally immersed in real cowboy country. When you set up home in the foothill
s of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains\, it’s inevitable there will be a strong se
nse of place and the rhythms of the land when you start to play music.\n\n
\n\nThe couple’s debut album\, mostly written and recorded on the ranch wh
ere they live\, reflects the pulse of life living in a territory that is r
ugged and beautiful. Their music is a wild ride from 40’s western swing an
d Appalachian old-time\, to cowboy blues\, all featuring their meant-to-be
vocals and a wide array of acoustic instruments.\n\n\n\nSuzanne Levesque
and Craig Bignell are both award winning multi-instrumentalists and vocali
sts that have spent most of their lives as studio and live performance mus
icians for other artists. After discovering their near perfect blend of vo
ices\, often moving people to tears upon hearing them sing together\, they
decided to try their own project and Over the Moon was born.\n\n\n\n“Toge
ther\, their voices have a timeless quality that suits this earthy music p
erfectly.”\n\n\n~ FATEA Magazine\, UK\n\n\nSimple and sweet\, their music
and lyrics have a common thread that speaks of the\n\n\nCanadian west.\n\n

Juno nominated Canada’s roots/swing duo “Over The Moon” are totally i
mmersed in real cowboy country. When you set up home in the foothil
ls of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains\, it’s inevitable there will be a strong s

The couple’s debut album\, m
ostly written and recorded on the ranch where they live\, reflects
the pulse of life living in a territory that is rugged and beautiful. Thei
r music is a wild ride from 40’s western swing and Appalachian old-time\,
to cowboy blues\, all featuring their meant-to-be vocals and a wide array
of acoustic instruments.

DESCRIPTION:For 50 years Morgan Davis has been on the road travelling acros
s Canada\, the United States and Europe. His performances draw from a rich
tradition of country blues\, as well as his own contemporary songs infuse
d with wit and a large dose of humour.\nOriginally from Detroit\, Davis gr
ew up listening to a prolific mix of rhythm and blues. The music of Jimmy
Reed\, Ike and Tina Turner\, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino was in the air. H
e later moved to California with his family\, and then in 1968 left for Ca
nada.\nWhile living in Rochdale College\, Toronto’s mecca for the subcultu
re of the late 1960’s\, he immersed himself in the study of Delta Blues\,
especially the music of Robert Johnson. Toronto’s music scene in the early
1970’s was the perfect place for Davis to cut his teeth as a journeyman\,
having the opportunity to see and play with many legendary performers. Bu
kka White\, Johnny Shines\, Sunnyland Slim\, Snooky Pryor\, Hubert Sumlin\
, and John Hammond were encouraging supporters.\nDavis hit the road with t
he Rhythm Rockets\, The Knights of The Mystic Sea\, and David Wilcox’s fir
st band\, eventually forming his own trio. Over the years he has had the p
riviledge of opening for Willie Dixon\, John Lee Hooker\, Albert King\, Jo
hn Hammond\, Albert Collins\, and Eric Bibb. A highlight of his career was
backing the phenomenal Dr.John. Morgan has shared the stage with Colin Li
nden\, who also produced his second album\, shared the stage with James Co
tton\, Hubert Sumlin\, Sunnyland Slim\, Snooky Pryor\, James Harmon\, Gene
Taylor\, Dutch Mason\, Gene Taylor and many other great blues artist over
the years.\nDavis’ songwriting talent received international recognition
when Colin James covered his searing ballad “Why’d You Lie”. Morgan’s reco
rding “Blues Medicine”\, on Electro-Fi records\, garnered critical acclaim
as well as awards for songwriting and production. His multi- award winnin
g release “Painkiller” won an impressive four awards at the 2004 Maple Blu
es Awards and not long after took home Canada’s top music prize…the Juno f
or Blues Album of the Year.\nDavis has established a rich career as a solo

For 50 years Morgan Davis has been on the road travelling ac
ross Canada\, the United States and Europe. His performances draw from a r
ich tradition of country blues\, as well as his own contemporary songs inf
used with wit and a large dose of humour.
\n
Originally from Detroit\
, Davis grew up listening to a prolific mix of rhythm and blues. The music
of Jimmy Reed\, Ike and Tina Turner\, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino was in the air. He later
moved to California with his family\, and then in 1968 left for Canada.
\n
While living in Rochdale College\, Toronto’s mecca for the subcultur
e of the late 1960’s\, he immersed himself in the study of Delta Blues\, e
specially the music of Robert Johnson. Toronto’s music scene in the early
1970’s was the perfect place for Davis to cut his teeth as a journeyman\,
having the opportunity to see and play with many legendary performers. Buk
ka White\, Johnny Shines\, Sunnyland Slim\, Snooky Pryor\, Hubert Sumlin\,
and John Hammond were encouraging supporters.
\n
Davis hit the road
with the Rhythm Rockets\, The Knights of The Mystic Sea\, and David Wilcox
’s first band\, eventually forming his own trio. Over the years he has had
the priviledge of opening for Willie Dixon\, John Lee Hooker\, Albert Kin
g\, John Hammond\, Albert Collins\, and Eric Bibb. A highlight of his care
er was backing the phenomenal Dr.John. Morgan has shared the stage with Co
lin Linden\, who also produced his second album\, shared the stage with Ja
mes Cotton\, Hubert Sumlin\, Sunnyland Slim\, Snooky Pryor\, James Harmon\
, Gene Taylor\, Dutch Mason\, Gene Taylor and many other great blues artis
t over the years.
\n
Davis’ songwriting talent received international
recognition when Colin James covered his searing ballad “Why’d You Lie”.
Morgan’s recording “Blues Medicine”\, on Electro-Fi records\, garnered cri
tical acclaim as well as awards for songwriting and production. His multi-
award winning release “Painkiller” won an impressive four awards at the 2
004 Maple Blues Awards and not long after took home Canada’s top music pri
ze…the Juno for Blues Album of the Year.
\n
Davis has established a r
ich career as a solo artist\, and also performs with stellar lineups of mu
sicians as a trio or full band. His most recent recording\, “Drive My Blue
s Away on Electro-Fi records is his first solo disc. His previous recordin
g “At Home In Nova Scotia”\, pays homage to Atlantic Canada where he has b
een a resident since 2001.
\n
Morgan’s passion for the Blues has neve
r wavered…and he fully expects to be on the road for the rest of his life.
“What a great
show and a full house on a Thursday is a first! Hope to have them back! –
Sandhill Stage\, Florida
\n
“Sultans of String are s
o extraordinary and put on a sensational show.” – Lincoln Center\,
NY
\n
“You get the feeling this is Strunz & Farah or Willie
& Lobo or Gypsy Kings taken to the next level of the game\, sometimes all
at once… a sure bet to notch a JUNO and any other award winning hardware
to come its way.“ – Midwest Record\, Chicago

pizza available. Gates open at 5pm for the 6pm show. In the event of bad w

DESCRIPTION:Rick Fines is an engaging storyteller and songwriter. He has wo
n MapleBlues Awards for Songwriter of the Year and Acoustic Act Of The Yea
r (twice)\, won first place in the blues category of 2003 International
Songwriting Competition\, with B.B. King one of the judges\, received nomi
nations from both the Juno and the Handy Awards\, played for legendary blu
es piano player Pinetop Perkins. Rick toured from Newfoundland to B.C. to
the Arctic last year alone.\nRick has just released “Solar Powered Too” –
A stunning collection of songs\; stories sung in Fines’ richly textured vo
ice\, a voyage through blues and folk guitar styles.\nCanadian roots music
vet Rick Fines has had a long and storied career as one of the country’s
hardest working musicians. He has toured across Canada countless times sol
o\, as a duo or with a full band and has recorded over 14 albums and has b
een a guest on many others. Steeped in roots music\, Rick Fines crafts a u
nique blend of warm-hearted blues\, juke joint folk\, and dockside soul th
at both embraces and defies the genres that influence him. As a veteran of
the North American blues and folk circuits\, he engages audiences with ca
ptivating songs\, diverse guitar styling and his signature vocal growl. Ri
ck’s career has seen him working in stellar collaboration and as a success
ful solo act. First gaining attention as part of the legendary Jackson De
lta\, he’s since released eight albums\, including one with long-time coll
aborator\, Suzie Vinnick.\nOn Fines’ newest release\, the Juno-nominated S
olar Powered Too\, the bulk of the songs were recorded in a little gazebo
in the North Kawartha woods\, with solar power. You can hear the crickets
and cicadas if you listen carefully.\n“After spending a lot of my time pla
ying on my National Steel\, I knew I wanted to make another album for guit
ar and voice\, only this time it would be mostly slide guitar on a steel b
odied guitar”\, says Fines. “I decided I wanted to return to my little cab
in in the Kawartha Highlands and record again with the modest solar powere
d setup there – two panels and 4 golf cart batteries.”The seclusion of the
recording process has paid off immensely – bringing to life the honesty o
f his lyrics and accessibility of his music.\nWith 11 originals and co-wri
tes\, and one cover of a Jesse Winchester song (That’s What Makes You Stro
ng)\, Solar Powered Too is a powerful release\, ripe with vivid images of
sorrow\, optimism\, and the complexities of life. Featuring appearances fr
om other respected Canadian artists such as Alec Fraser\, Gary Craig\, Rol
y Platt\, Melissa Payne\, Jimmy Bowskill\, Rob Phillips\, Suzie Vinnick\,
Stacie Tabb\, Sherie Marshall and Samantha Martin\, Solar Powered Too is R
ick Fines’ most accomplished album to date. “Releasing an album during a p
andemic\, when all my gigs are cancelled is a little strange“\, he says. “
But this album was made with the help of my friends and it carries that st
rength on its journey.”\n\n a.unii-listing-button { display: inline-block\

DESCRIPTION:Ennismore\, Ontario’s Melissa Payne has truly left her mark on
the musical landscape\, and she’s just getting started. Her background in
old time fiddle and traditional celtic music has evolved into a blossoming
solo career\, including three full length albums. Her live performances h
ave garnered her critical acclaim\, and notable guest collaborators like B
lue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor\, James McKenty\, Matt Mays\, Natalie MacMaster\,
cellist Nathaniel Smith and Jimmy Bowskill\, have her working with some of
the biggest names in Canada\, and beyond. Her honest and vulnerable appro
ach to the songs that comprise her latest effort are sure to win over her
dedicated fans and first time listeners alike.\nInspired by some of the la
st century’s most iconic country sounds\, from Faron Young to Brian Setzer
\, Nicholas Campbell first picked up the guitar at age 10 and was gigging
by 11. Having found a fresh start during the pandemic\, Nicholas began pla
ying consistently with his band\, The Two Meter Cheaters\, who quickly red
iscovered their groove as live shows began to become an option once again—
and they wasted no time in seizing the opportunity.\nThe band worked to re
lease Campbell’s debut album\, Livin’ and Other Western Ideas in 2021\, co
mbining elements of rockabilly\, western swing\, and good old-fashioned ho
nky tonk. The result was a brisk\, invigorating album that feels as fresh
as it does familiar. The band has enjoyed worldwide coverage and airplay s
ince\, spanning from Western Canada to Spain\, to Italy\, and beyond.\nWit
h Campbell’s new single and the album to come\, Gonna Have A Ball Tonight\
, the group has shifted their tone to include a more rock n’ roll-centric
sound\, adding a renewed breath of energy and excitement to Campbell’s sig
nature country sensibilities. This is the latest evolution of an emerging
musician\, but also a return to form\, as ’50s style rock was the first ge
nre to ever capture Nicholas’ fascination as a beginning player.\n“I’m rea
lly glad about how this album came together\, and I feel very fortunate th
at I was able to work on it with the folks who did. I’m very proud of ever
yone who was involved and I’m really looking forward to getting it out int
o the world.”\n\n a.unii-listing-button { display: inline-block\; margin-b

DESCRIPTION:Described by Roots Music Canada as “The Pink Floyd of Folk Musi
c” the Red Dirt Skinners are the multi-award winning\, multi-instrumentali
st husband and wife team of Rob and Sarah Skinner.\n\nWidely regarded as o
ne of the most innovative acts to come out of the UK in recent years. The
duo cross more genres than would make sense to mention and have won Nation
al and International Awards in Rock\, Folk\, Blues\, Country\, Roots\, Alt
-Rock and Songwriting. It would be fair to say that if you like songs infl
uenced by Pink Floyd\, Simon and Garfunkel\, Supertramp\, Queen\, David Bo
wie coupled with some epic storytelling\, humour and heartfelt emotions\,
you’ll love a Red Dirt Skinners concert. With male and female harmonies bl
ending together as one voice and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos

e Alternate Root Magazine. In July 2017 it was deemed by Canadian Immigrat
ion that the Red Dirt Skinners were “performers of a world class level” an
d they were invited to become Canadian residents. Having already completed
several successful Canadian tours\, the Skinners were thrilled and honour
ed at the invitation and took up residency almost immediately. The duo’s a
lbum\, Under Utopian Skies\, is a testament to their love of Canada and is
described by Classic Rock Magazine as “Substantial\, beautifully rendered
folk music”. The band’s current album Bear With Us is a collection of ten
original songs drawing on such hard hitting subject matters as dementia\,
homelessness and narcissistic abuse\, whilst still managing to produce s
oaring choruses\, catchy lyrics and the ever present award-winning sound o
f Sarah’s saxophone solos. Bear With Us is an extremely full sounding alb
um from two highly skilled multi-instrumentalists and straddles multiple
genres. This album is a triumph to positive thinking and a further develop
ment of the bands signature sound.\nA Red Dirt Skinners concert combines c
aptivating storytelling with knowing lyricism and outstanding musicianship

shows are a wonderful experience\; a musical journey to remember. Be prepa

DESCRIPTION:To say that del Junco just plays the harmonica would be like sa
ying Jimi Hendrix was just a guitar player. He blows the blues harp throug
h a prism — suddenly it seems he’s holding every color in the musical rain
bow right there in his hands.\n\n\n \n\n\nSimultaneously sophisticated and
raw\, his playing blurs the boundaries between blues and jazz (hence the
name for his band “The Blues Mongrels”). The emphasis is on blues\, but Ca
rlos and his band are not afraid to merrily traipse off in other direction
s delivering a seamless fusion of New Orleans second line grooves\, swing\
, Latin\, ska melodies\, to swampy roots rock\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Blues Mongrel
s are: bassist Henry Heillig (founded the nine piece Latin band Manteca)\,
and guitarist Eric St. Laurent. Get ready to trash all you thought you kn
ew about the harmonica. The Blues Mongrels deliver a no-holds-barred displ
ay of fun and melodic virtuosity.\n \n\n\n\n“It’s not likely that you’ll e
ver hear the harmonica played so well and in so many different ways than a
t the hands of Cuban-born Torontonian Carlos del Junco.” John Terauds – TO
RONTO STAR\n\n“I’ve seen “mad skills” used in several publications to desc
ribe Del Junco’s talents on the harmonica\, but even that phrase doesn’t d
o him justice. He’s taking the harmonica to a whole new level that was pre
viously only dreamed of.” Graham Clarke – Blues Bytes\n“Del Junco is an ac
tual ace who composes intricate parts and solos\, and knows several techni
ques that allow him to play all the notes in whatever key\, instead of the
few usually available on the tiny instrument. Umm\, it’s complicated\, bu
t he does it\, and it works\, and not many can. His material is far more i
nstrumental than vocal\, and the fact it’s always exciting and interesting
says it all.” Bob Mersereau – top100canadianblog.blogspot.com\n“Blues fan
s hold on to your hats! Harp players lock your gear in the closet. This is
the caliber of player who plays so well that I have wanted to throw my ge
ar in the river…he is THAT good. He is a technician to be sure\, but he pl
ays with such a high level of passion that it is impossible not to be affe
cted.” Bill Wilson Billtownblues.org\n2017 & 2018 SPAH (U.S.A. Society for
the Preservation & Advancement of the Harmonica) Bernie Bray Harmonica Pl
ayer of The Year Award nomination\nHarmonica Player of the Year – winner E

\n
To say that del Junco just plays the harmonica would be like saying
Jimi Hendrix was just a guitar player. He blows the blues harp through a
prism — suddenly it seems he’s holding every color in the musical rainbow
right there in his hands.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Simultaneously sophisticated and raw\, his playing
blurs the boundaries between blues and jazz (hence the name for his band “
The Blues Mongrels”). The emphasis is on blues\, but Carlos and his band a
re not afraid to merrily traipse off in other directions delivering a seam
less fusion of New Orleans second line grooves\, swing\, Latin\, ska melod
ies\, to swampy roots rock
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
The Blues Mongrels are: bassist Henry Heillig (founde
d the nine piece Latin band Manteca)\, and guitarist Eric St. Laurent. Get
ready to trash all you thought you knew about the harmonica. The Blues Mo
ngrels deliver a no-holds-barred display of fun and melodic virtuosity.
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
“It’s not likely that you’ll ever hear the harmonica pl
ayed so well and in so many different ways than at the hands of Cuban-born
Torontonian Carlos del Junco.” John Terauds – TORONTO STAR
\n\n
“I’ve seen “mad skills” used in se
veral publications to describe Del Junco’s talents on the harmonica\, but
even that phrase doesn’t do him justice. He’s taking the harmonica to a wh
ole new level that was previously only dreamed of.” Graham Clarke – Blues
Bytes
\n
“Del Junco is an actual ace who composes intricate
parts and solos\, and knows several techniques that allow him to play all
the notes in whatever key\, instead of the few usually available on the ti
ny instrument. Umm\, it’s complicated\, but he does it\, and it works\, an
d not many can. His material is far more instrumental than vocal\, and the
fact it’s always exciting and interesting says it all.” Bob Mersereau – t
op100canadianblog.blogspot.com
\n
“Blues fans hold on to you
r hats! Harp players lock your gear in the closet. This is the caliber of
player who plays so well that I have wanted to throw my gear in the river…
he is THAT good. He is a technician to be sure\, but he plays with such a
high level of passion that it is impossible not to be affected.” Bill Wils
on Billtownblues.org
\n
2017 & 2018 SPAH (U.S.A. Society for the
Preservation & Advancement of the Harmonica) Bernie Bray Harmonica Player

DESCRIPTION:Folk-pop artist Emma Cook has a glacially pure voice and years
of life experiences to write about. At the heart of it all she is a storyt
eller\, with music that plays between the lines of folk and chamber pop in
fluenced from her youth – listening to mixtapes that included Ani Difranco
\, Tracy Chapman and Madonna.\n\n\n \n\n\nEmma is set to release her 5th a
lbum Fight Left In Me on November 4th\, 2021. Produced by Andrew Rasmussen
(touring keyboardist for the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen\, Wake Owl\, Twin
Bandit\, Hannah Georgas\, Hey Ocean) the album takes a deep dive into the
nooks & crannies\, and under the radar experiences of (mostly) women who a
re in the time of their life when their own personal identity is often tan
gled up with those around them. With Emma’s trademark vocal and harmony la

Folk-pop artist Emma Cook has a glacially pure voice and years of life ex
periences to write about. At the heart of it all she is a storyteller\, wi
th music that plays between the lines of folk and chamber pop influenced f
rom her youth – listening to mixtapes that included Ani Difranco\, Tracy C
hapman and Madonna.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Emma is set to rel
ease her 5th album Fight Left In Me on November 4th\, 2021. Produced by An
drew Rasmussen (touring keyboardist for the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen\, Wa
ke Owl\, Twin Bandit\, Hannah Georgas\, Hey Ocean) the album takes a deep
dive into the nooks & crannies\, and under the radar experiences of (mostl
y) women who are in the time of their life when their own personal identit
y is often tangled up with those around them. With Emma’s trademark vocal
and harmony layering and gorgeously textured production\, the album is her
most extrospective so far\, bringing the stories of those around her to l
ife with an aching honesty.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
The road t
o this new album was definitely not linear. In 2013 she was forced to take
a 3-year hiatus from music following a bad head injury. In 2018 she came
back strong with the album Living Proof distilling her hardships into a co
llection of stirring and deeply earnest pop balladry. The album landed her
in the finals of the CBC Searchlight competition and a headlining show at
the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. She was chosen to represent Canada on
a musical trade mission in South America in 2019\, with official showcase
s at SIM Sao Paolo and Fluviale Festivals.

DESCRIPTION:Rachael Kilgour is a Canadian-American songwriter and performin
g artist whose plain-spoken\, heart-centered work and intimate performance
s have endeared her to listeners and fellow artists alike. The 2015 grand
prize winner of the international NewSong Music Competition and winner of
the 2017 Kerrville New Folk Contest\, Kilgour has been featured at NYC’s L
incoln Center\, at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and at the Sundan
ce Film Festival.\nFollowing the success of her 2017 album Rabbit in the R

ttle-tested capacity to endure the worst in others” – Billboard) and subse
quent 2019 EP\, Game Changer (“Kilgour’s unapologetic lyrics are a real tr
eat” – Rolling Stone)\, Kilgour spent the COVID-19 shut-downs quietly layi
ng the groundwork for her next full-length release.\nThe exquisite forthco
ming collection\, My Father Loved Me (due September 2023)\, is a tribute t
o her late father and was produced by JUNO Award-winning songwriter Rose C
ousins and recorded in the senior Kilgour’s native Canada. In the spare\,
often gutting language for which she is known\, Kilgour gives us a complex
portrait of a man as seen through his daughter’s eyes. With unwavering ac
uity she poses questions about identity\, inheritance\, and grief\, and af
firms the value of one ordinary working man’s life to an often indifferent
world.\nWith this album\, Kilgour has revealed something about what the l
iving owe each other. “In our mourning rituals\, I think we’re really conv
incing ourselves that our own lives matter\, that we will have an impact a
nd be remembered. My father had a very average life for a man of his time\
, a small life that didn’t involve grandeur\, of any kind at all.” Kilgour
thinks before speaking again. “I needed to prove to myself—and to the wor
ld—that lives lived like that are still worth celebrating\, still worth li
ving.”\n“Rachael Kilgour is folk music’s Next Big Thing…the finest purveyo
r of tear-jerkers to emerge from northern Minnesota since Bob Dylan.” (Sta

DESCRIPTION:It has only been a short space of time since The Magpies burst
onto the UK folk scene\, but they have already made a huge impression with
their fresh brand of transatlantic neo-folk and have been ‘making waves w
herever they play’ (Phil Beer\, Show of Hands).\nBased on a deeply felt mu
sical friendship\, The Magpies work collaboratively\, arranging material l
ed by powerful vocals and glittering instrumental ornamentation. They each
draw on their wide-ranging influences to create a unique blend of transat
lantic folk\, transporting audiences to distant lands and capturing imagin
ations with their enthralling live show.\nThree accomplished musicians in
their own right\, The Magpies is a combination far greater than the sum of
its parts. Celtic Connections Danny Kyle Award winning guitarist\, banjo-
player and singer Bella Gaffney is known for her folk inspired songs which
she performs along with her own original arrangements of traditional piec
es. Said to be ‘one of the best banjo players in the country’ (Dan Walsh)\
, clawhammer banjo player and singer Kate Griffin’s compositions fuse infl
uences from the British Isles\, America and India. And acclaimed fiddle-pl
ayer Holly Brandon is an ‘ingenious tunesmith’ (Living Tradition)\, with r
oots in traditional English music\, but with influences from Eastern Europ
e to Quebec\, she creates a distinctly borderless and progressive sound.\n
In their live performances The Magpies have been exceptionally well-receiv
ed. Their first year as a band in 2018 saw them perform at festivals such
as Cambridge Folk Festival and on main stages at Wickham Festival\, Towers
ey Festival and Deer Shed Festival. 2019 saw their first international sho
ws\, with showcases at Folk Alliance International in Montreal\, a success
ful tour in Ireland and performances at Costa del Folk in Portugal. And th
e summer saw many more festival performances including Glastonbury\, Larme
r Tree\, Warwick and Shambala.\nTheir debut album – Tidings – was released
in June 2020 to critical acclaim. A rich and varied showcase of their liv
e sound\, the album draws on a range of influences and delivers a sound th
at can only be described as contemporary. A huge range of exquisite instru
mentation on mandolin\, guitar\, fiddle\, cello\, bouzouki and banjo provi
de a thrilling canvas on which they paint their stories. The album is full
of songs which explore uniquely female experiences in unpredictable and s
urprising ways. From the transformation and sorcery of the traditional bal
lad The Two Magicians\, to lost love\, murder and suicide in the original
Run River Run\, The Magpies bring a fresh voice to the current milieu. As
well as drawing on their experiences as women\, the material is also deepl
y rooted in the traditions of their native Yorkshire.\n‘One of those effer
vescent albums you’d be happy to recommend to people who might not conside

DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nMedusa would slay at a Hobbit family wedding. Wielding a
sound that would turn classical music scholars to stone\, these four folk
musicians are reimagining the Western string quartet. By inviting back vo
ices previously regarded as too ugly for “polite society\,” Medusa tempts
us to\n\n\nredefine what is beautiful. With their forthcoming EP\, Medusa’
s dynamic arrangement style cross-pollinates the sounds of Middle Eastern\
, Scandinavian\, Celtic\, Appalachian\, and Eastern European music\, as we
ll as original tunes\, to create something previously unheard. With this d
ebut release\, the band aims to connect audiences across dividing lines of
culture and identity to reveal the common threads beneath.\n \n \n\n\n\n
\n\n\nMedusa is Georgia Hathaway\, Lea Kirstein\, Marta Sołek\, and Saskia
Tomkins. For these four seasoned string players\, whose collective experi
ence as side players in successful bands spans decades\, Medusa is a refug
e for natural creation. Their immediate and electrifying connection is tra
nsmuted through a common string language\, a love of enigmatic and obscure
folk fiddles\,\n\n\nand their personal stories of navigating society’s li
minal spaces.\n\n\nOne of the most misunderstood figures in ancient mythol
ogy\, Medusa was wrongfully punished and cast out for being the victim of
a violent act\, but is remembered solely for her frightful ugliness and li
thifying gaze. Through their personal narratives of alienation due to raci
sm\, sexism\, immigration\, queerness\, and disability\, Medusa the band a
ims to retell this story by bringing back what has been cast out. Marta So
lek and Saskia Tomkins resurrect the Suka\, the\n\n\nPłosk fidel\, and the
Nyckelharpa – near-forgotten traditional folk fiddles with disreputable c
onnotations that were rejected for centuries in their home countries of Po
land and Sweden. Instead of a snake-haired Gorgon\, they see Medusa as a s
ymbol of vision\, power\, and inclusivity\, and a source of inspiration fo

\n\nSome reviews of Rita Di Ghent and Astrid Young Journeying:\n“Wow! We
have been booking artists for our unique “Speakeasy” space for three years
\, including many Juno Award winners and Order of Canada recipients. But t
his was exceptional. Both Astrid and Rita are such great storytellers with
lyrics that engage as much as their music. Just as the most complex sea d
iving is found where the warm currents meet the cold ones\, Rita and Astri
d’s musical genres meshed to move the hearts of [the] enthralled\, fully-e
ngaged patrons\, laughing together and crying together for over three hour
s. Not one was willing to give up a moment\, let alone their seats.”\n~ Sa
xe Brickenden\, Partner\, Karlo Estates\n“[di Ghent and Young] are both re
freshingly real… [their] laid back humour and storytelling was felt by all
\, as well as [their] femininity and beautiful songwriting. It was a treat
to see such seasoned talent… I’m sure an ingredient many took away was th
e inspiration to be vulnerable.”\n~ Suzanne O’Connor\, host of The Beat\,
99.3FM\n“The musical duo of Rita Di Ghent and Astrid Young are an incredib
le force to be reckoned with! The combination of harmonious stories and so
ngs are quite unlike any other\; Astrid’s powerful vocals combine perfectl
y with Rita’s smooth blend of jazz fusion. If given the chance\, you certa
inly don’t want to miss these two amazing women perform!”\n~ Alex Rhindres

DESCRIPTION:The Ireland Brothers were born in Peterborough Ontario Canada a
nd raised in the rolling hills of Northumberland county. Coming from a mus
ical family the brothers were never far from the stage. The band was forme
d in 2004 and has toured Canada extensively performing at theatres\, festi
vals and of coarse the many legendary bars across the country. They’ve sha
red the stage with many great Canadian and international artists such as G
reg Keelor and Bazil Donovan(Blue Rodeo)\, Stephen Fearing(Blackie & The R
odeo Kings)\, The Barenaked Ladies\, Corb Lund & The Hurtin Albertians\, C
harlie Major\, The Sadies\, The Good Brothers\, Justin Rutledge\, Elliot B
rood\, Ronnie Hawkins Hawks and many more.\nIn 2008 they released their de
but album “Far From The City Lights” at one of their favorite venues The D
akota Tavern in Toronto Ontario. The Ireland Brothers bring a high energy
show to the stage with their own twist of Folk-Rock Alt-Country Roots musi
c. “Its definitely a live performance to see”\nA highlight for the brother
s has been playing The Havelock Country Jamboree Canada’s Largest Live Cou
ntry Music and Camping Festival in 2004 and again in 2009. In 2013 Dylan I
reland formed the group “Express & Company” along with fellow Peterborough
musician Melissa Payne. Express & Company’s single “Carry me along” went
to #2 on the CBC radio top 20 in 2013.\nDylan also released his first solo
album “Every Other Night” in 2018. The Ireland Brothers continue writing
and performing today and look forward to seeing everyone down the road!\nI
nspired by some of the last century’s most iconic country sounds\, from Fa
ron Young to Brian Setzer\, Nicholas Campbell first picked up the guitar a
t age 10 and was gigging by 11. Having found a fresh start during the pand
emic\, Nicholas began playing consistently with his band\, The Two Meter C
heaters\, who quickly rediscovered their groove as live shows began to bec
ome an option once again—and they wasted no time in seizing the opportunit
y.\nThe band worked to release Campbell’s debut album\, Livin’ and Other W
estern Ideas in 2021\, combining elements of rockabilly\, western swing\,
and good old-fashioned honky tonk. The result was a brisk\, invigorating a
lbum that feels as fresh as it does familiar. The band has enjoyed worldwi
de coverage and airplay since\, spanning from Western Canada to Spain\, to
Italy\, and beyond.\nWith Campbell’s new single and the album to come\, G
onna Have A Ball Tonight\, the group has shifted their tone to include a m
ore rock n’ roll-centric sound\, adding a renewed breath of energy and exc
itement to Campbell’s signature country sensibilities. This is the latest
evolution of an emerging musician\, but also a return to form\, as ’50s st
yle rock was the first genre to ever capture Nicholas’ fascination as a be
ginning player.\n“I’m really glad about how this album came together\, and
I feel very fortunate that I was able to work on it with the folks who di
d. I’m very proud of everyone who was involved and I’m really looking forw
ard to getting it out into the world.”\n \n\n a.unii-listing-button { disp

DESCRIPTION:From slick hot-rod rockabilly to smooth crooning honky tonk\, N
icholas Campbell is the real deal. Inspired by some of the last century’s
most iconic country sounds\, from Faron Young to Brian Setzer\,\nCampbell
first picked up the guitar at age 10 and was gigging by 11. Having found a
fresh start during the pandemic\, Nicholas began playing consistently wit
h his band\, The Two Meter Cheaters\, who quickly rediscovered their groov
e as live shows began to become an option once again—and they wasted no ti
me in seizing the opportunity.\nThe band worked to release Campbell’s debu
t album\, Livin’ and Other Western Ideas in 2021\, combining elements of r
ockabilly\, western swing\, and good old-fashioned honky tonk. The result
was a brisk\, invigorating album that feels as fresh as it does familiar.
The band has enjoyed worldwide coverage and airplay since\, spanning from
Western Canada to Spain\, to Italy\, and beyond. As live music has begun t
o blossom again Nicholas has had the opportunity to share the stage with t
he likes of Melissa Payne\, Paul Reddick\, Blue Rodeo and plenty of other
artists.\nWith Campbell’s new singles and the album to come\, Gonna Have A
Ball Tonight\, the group has shifted their tone to include a more rock n’
roll-centric sound\, adding a renewed breath of energy and excitement to
Campbell’s signature country sensibilities.\n \n\n a.unii-listing-button {

DESCRIPTION:Seventh Town is a four-piece Celtic Folk band from Prince Edwar
d County\, Ontario. The band blends traditional Irish\, Scottish and Canad
ian songs with tasteful instrumentals and fiddle tunes.\nSeventh Town deli
vers high-energy engaging performances with thoughtful arrangements and we
ll-crafted 4-part vocal harmonies and instrumentals. \nThe core members ha
ve been playing together for more than a decade. That musical chemistry sh
ines through in Seventh Town’s fresh and harmony-driven arrangements of ol
d and new Celtic and traditional music. \nSeventh Town’s latest album\,10\
,000 Miles\, is a collection of contemporary and traditional songs and ins

DESCRIPTION:It’s always a great time when Jerry Leger comes to the Old Chur
ch Theater and this time he’s bringing Katie Cruel to kick off the show!
\nAs Toronto’s music scene has grown in stature on the world stage\, singe
r/songwriter Jerry Leger has been making his own significant contributions
. A favourite of Uncut Magazine and Rolling Stone Germany\, Leger has also
earned the praise of fellow artists Ron Sexsmith (“he’s the real deal”) a
nd Doug Paisley\, while maintaining a long relationship with Cowboy Junkie
s as part of their Latent Recordings roster\, with their songwriter/guitar
ist Michael Timmins serving as producer.\nOn his new album Donlands\, Lege
r has taken a different approach\, teaming up with legendary Canadian prod
ucer/engineer Mark Howard (Lucinda Williams\, Bob Dylan\, Tom Waits\, Neil
Young)\, whose trademark atmospheric sound adds an entirely new dimension
to Leger’s approach. Named after the street in Toronto’s east end where i
t was recorded\, in what once was the Donlands Theatre\, Donlands presents
Jerry Leger as he’s never been heard before.\nOn songs like “I Was Right
To Doubt Her\,” the film noir vibe recalls Howard’s work on Willie Nelson’
s Teatro. But mostly\, Leger wears his poetic heart firmly on his sleeve o
n “Three Hours Ahead Of Midnight” and “The Flower And The Dirt\,” songs th
at underscore Leger’s uncommon ability to pen timeless music and lyrics. F
urther\, as on the Roy Orbison-esque opening track “Sort Me Out\,” and the
heart-wrenching piano ballad “Wounded Wing\,” Leger digs deep to express
the strength and resolve we’ve all needed to get through the past few year
s. He says\, “This record is a place I’ve known about and where I’ve alway
s wanted to live\, so it was a nice and rewarding visit. It’s another piec
e of me that floats in a dream. It’s surreal at times\, just like writing
can be surreal.”\nFor Jerry Leger\, the search for the elusive creative sp
ark remains never-ending\, but there are always new routes to explore in g
etting to it. With Donlands\, he has made an album that stands as one of t
he peak moments in an already towering body of work.\nKatie Cruel released
her debut album\, Lost Vagus\, in Sept 2023. Produced by Mark Howard (Nei
l Young\, Bob Dylan\, REM\, Lucinda Williams\, Willie Nelson etc) her 2 si
ngles\, Desert Valley Nights and Calling Out Your Name\, received multiple
plays on CBC radio\, ZOOMER radio and many college and indie stations. A
great start!\nMusic Mecca in Nashville not only called the record “strikin
gly unique and pristinely crafted”\, they later selected Katie Cruel as #3
on their emerging artist list for 2024. Billboard Magazine called Lost Va
gus\, a “mesmerizing lament”.\nSince releasing her debut\, Katie Cruel has
supported Timber Timbre on a sold out Ontario tour\, and completed her ow
n small release tour in celebration of Lost Vagus alongside Jerry Leger.\n
Cruel has honed her live show beautifully. Accompanied by her 1937 Gibson
acoustic guitar\, the performance whether solo or with a band\, is honest\
, animal and fiercely intimate. Katie Cruel is a ghost on the move with mu
ch to come in 2024.\n\n a.unii-listing-button { display: inline-block\; ma

As Toronto’s music scene has grown in stature on the world stage
\, singer/songwriter Jerry Leger has been making his own

end where it was recorded\, in what once was the Donlands Theatre\, Donla
nds presents Jerry Leger as he’s never been heard before.
\n
On songs
like “I Was Right To Doubt Her\,” the film noir vibe recalls Howard’s wor

mly on his sleeve on “Three Hours Ahead Of Midnight” and “The Flower And T

music and lyrics. Further\, as on the Roy Orbison-esque opening track “Sor

or the elusive creative spark remains never-ending\, but there are always

DESCRIPTION: \nFor her fourth solo album Better Days Ahead\, singer\, songw
riter\, guitarist and nascent banjo player Kate Weekes dove deep into “the
liminal space created by lockdowns and cancelled plans” to unearth a stir
ring\, picturesque collection of 10 original songs ranging from Appalachia
n-influenced murder-suicide ballads to anthemic folk-pop to whimsical inst
rumental waltzes\, all buoyed by an eclectic assortment of instruments inc
luding (but not limited to) fiddle\, flugelhorn\, frame drum and fretless
bass. Alongside long-time producer and multi-instrumentalist James Stephen
s\, Weekes guides listeners on vivid sonic journeys inspired by nature but
nurtured by imagination. \n \n\n\nNow based in Wakefield\, Quebec after
nearly a decade spent immersed in the Yukon’s vibrant music scene\, Weekes
drew on an astonishing array of experiences including dog mushing-for-hir
e in Norway\, touring China with a swing band\, canoeing from Whitehorse t
o Dawson City and\, notably\, several intense personal relationships to wr
ite these by turns mournful and joyous songs.\n\n\n \n\n\nThat unique back
story explains why a one-genre description simply cannot capture the album
’s musical scope. It’s more like: eclectic\, lyrical\, vocally propelled f
olk/pop with subtle jazz underpinnings buoyed by everything from organ to
flugelhorn to trumpet. Indeed\, you might say ‘Taken by Surprise’ is the u
ltimate sonic scrapbook of a bold life lived to the fullest.\n\n\n \n\n\nK
ate will bring her duo to the Old Church with James Stephens on fiddle and
mandolin. \n\n\n \n\n\nRead more about Kate on her website.\n\n \n\n\n a.

lectic\, lyrical\, vocally propelled folk/pop with subtle jazz underpinnin
gs buoyed by everything from organ to flugelhorn to trumpet. Indeed\, you
might say ‘Taken by Surprise’ is the ultimate sonic scrapbook of a bold li
fe lived to the fullest.

DESCRIPTION: \nHighlighted by an artistic acumen and an amazing ability to
evoke emotion\, Stokes’ music is demonstrative of a songwriting craftspers
on at work\, with music\, words\, and vocal performances that connect to t
he hearts and spirits of all who hear them.\nWhat is undeniable is the dee
ply honest approach to her musical storytelling\, a wide-open emotional ta
bleau that is representative of the silence of the vast forests\, and big
open skies of the northern Ontario city of North Bay where Stokes was born
and raised.\nHer prior work has garnered recognition from the Northern On
tario Music and Film Awards\, earning her an ‘Outstanding Songwriter’ nomi
nation in 2019 and award in 2017.\nStokes recently released her sophomore
LP ‘When The Sun Goes Away\,’ produced by Jim Bryson (Kathleen Edwards). I
t merges folk formats and orchestration with elements of country\, indie r
ock\, and ambient electronic embellishments\, which create a supportive fo
undation for Stokes’ crystal clear vocals and unique conversational phrasi
ng. Its 11 tracks tell stories of relationships and self-reckoning and cap
ture nuanced moments in a relatable way that will both break your heart an
d put it back together again.\n“When The Sun Goes Away takes listeners on
an emotional journey\, weaving a tapestry of relatable themes and musical
diversity…a collection of songs that together create a compelling and memo
rable musical experience.” – Canadian Beats\n \n\n a.unii-listing-button {

Highlighted by an artistic acumen an
d an amazing ability to evoke emotion\, Stokes’ music is demonstrative of
a songwriting craftsperson at work\, with music\, words\, and vocal perfor
mances that connect to the hearts and spirits of all who hear them.
\n<
p>What is undeniable is the deeply honest approach to her musical storytel
ling\, a wide-open emotional tableau that is representative of the silence
of the vast forests\, and big open skies of the northern Ontario city of
North Bay where Stokes was born and raised.\n
Her prior work has gar
nered recognition from the Northern Ontario Music and Film Awards\, earnin
g her an ‘Outstanding Songwriter’ nomination in 2019 and award in 2017.
\n
Stokes recently released her sophomore LP ‘When The Sun Goes Away\,’
produced by Jim Bryson (Kathleen Edwards). It merges folk formats and orc
hestration with elements of country\, indie rock\, and ambient electronic
embellishments\, which create a supportive foundation for Stokes’ crystal
clear vocals and unique conversational phrasing. Its 11 tracks tell storie
s of relationships and self-reckoning and capture nuanced moments in a rel
atable way that will both break your heart and put it back together again.

“When The Sun Goes Away takes listeners on an emotional journ
ey\, weaving a tapestry of relatable themes and musical diversity…a collec
tion of songs that together create a compelling and memorable musical expe
rience.” – Canadian Beats
