Hey Rosetta - St. John's NL
Over the decade playing together, Hey Rosetta!’s collective sound has been lauded as unmistakable. Tim Baker’s haunting and distinctive voice and his writing, with a lyrical sensibility that defines the band as one of the most poetic Canadian exports; the rolling indie-rock precision meeting hooky pop sensibilities, off-set by the delicate touch of cello, violin (and now french horn), that cuts through the most cramped club or across any vast open air festival stage.
The Barr Brothers - Montreal QC
The Barr Brothers are a Montreal-based band featuring harpist Sarah Pagé and brothers Brad (guitar and vocals) and Andrew Barr (drums). Imagine Leonard Cohen sitting in with Led Zeppelin at a North African experimental blues festival in 1972.
Royal Canoe - Winnipeg MB
It's one thing to reference a particular style, or even a range of styles. It's another thing entirely to grab huge handfuls of sounds from pretty much anywhere, throw them all together and come up with something both cohesive and totally distinctive - something that also happens to ripple and crack with energy. This is what Royal Canoe does best.
Repartee - St. John's NL
Repartee formed when Meg Warren got tired of singing opera and decided to make her own music, enlisting some of Newfoundland’s best rock and pop musicians. New album “All Lit Up” is a tight fusion of top 40 pop and modern indie-rock that makes a perfect soundtrack for dancing till the sun comes up.
