CLAY RAVENS (Vancouver) // http://www.clayravens.com/

Clay Ravens are a sweat soaked foot-stomping indie folk band from Vancouver that has been captivating audiences with their energetic live performances since 2014.

Founded upon the guttural, honey-smoked harmonies of their vocal blend, Clay Ravens began as a singer-songwriter folk duo between siblings Justin and Brianne Huntley Smith. Their songs lent themselves to a bigger sound and more complex arrangements, so they began recruiting some of Vancouver’s most talented musicians to develop the Clay Ravens vision.

With each new contributor came an unexpected twist to the original idea. Incorporating Brendan Tydall’s shredding twang electric guitar style, Matt Cook-Contois’ legendary fiddle chops, Kelsey Butkus’ technical bass skills, and Tim Lanham’s hard hitting beats, the band has formed an extremely unique indie folk sound.

WESTWINDS (Vancouver) // https://www.facebook.com/WestwindsOfficial/

Westwinds is a music project by Vancouver folk artist Gareth McDonnell.

While serving in the Royal Canadian Navy, Gareth re-kindled his love for creating and performing songs while playing with his crew mates aboard HMCS Ottawa during his numerous sails. The newly refurbished hobby quickly became obsession, and before his eventual release from the military, he had begun the first recordings to be featured on his debut release: 'The EP'.

The EP is an alluring, melodic and sonically satisfying 4-track record. Each song tells a new tale of longing, heartbreak, or coming of age built upon his experiences in work and life. Gareth McDonnell and Producer Greg Drummond teamed up with few simple instruments and bright ideas to provide each listener with quality music good for anything from dancing, to the song that helps you fall asleep. This is surely a record not to miss.
