Christa Couture - Vancouver
"Sprites, girl-liking-girls, and those who wear DiFranco and Tori Amos T-shirts - this is the audience of Vancouver's Christa Couture, a candour-bent singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist who enjoys summers, but with one eye on the fall." - Brad Wheeler, Globe & Mail

Janine Stoll (the DoneFors) - Toronto 
“The DoneFors [are] one of Canada’s craftiest indie bands. An instant addiction once you hear… “
- By Robert Everett-Green, The Globe and Mail

Mr Something Something - Toronto

Elizabeth Shepherd - Toronto

The Strip - Toronto

Roman Tome - Toronto 
Roman Tomé has been playing various styles of percussion and drums for nearly half his life. While playing and singing in different bands, his own songs have been patiently simmering. A thick rhythmical feel on guitar with insightfully strong vocals makes for an enjoyable listen.

' The ever-charming Brian MacMillan has a musical presence that is gentle and soulful. Aaaaah. 100% guaranteed…..' Knox Acoustic Cafe
