GOAT

Noah Derksen is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose heartfelt blend of folk, country, and indie shines with sincerity. A wanderer at heart, Noah draws songs from the motion of everyday life: moving between cities, listening to strangers, holding closely to moments that might otherwise slip by. His fourth album, Mercy on the Skyline (2026), explores healing and self-realization with luminous honesty. With an intimate yet soaring voice, Noah’s music flickers between tenderness and boldness, always pointing toward the mercy on the horizon. He was named Canadian Folk Music’s Emerging Artist of the Year, and a finalist on SiriusXM's Top of the Country competition.
--/--
Noah Derksen est un auteur-compositeur-interprète canadien dont le mélange émouvant de folk, de country et d’indie rayonne de sincérité. Vagabond dans l’âme, Noah puise son inspiration dans le rythme de la vie quotidienne : se déplacer d’une ville à l’autre, écouter des inconnus, s’accrocher à des instants qui, sans cela, risqueraient de s’échapper. Son quatrième album, *Mercy on the Skyline* (2026), explore la guérison et la réalisation de soi avec une honnêteté lumineuse. Avec une voix à la fois intime et puissante, la musique de Noah oscille entre tendresse et audace, toujours tournée vers la miséricorde qui se profile à l'horizon. Il a été nommé Artiste émergent de l'année par Canadian Folk Music et a été finaliste du concours Top of the Country de SiriusXM.

FROM TORONTO WITH SWEET MISERY
Lazarettes, from Toronto, Canada, are currently playing out in support of their most recent album Sweet Misery, produced by Ron Hawkins of the Lowest of the Low. The band plays alternative roots rock filled with harmony and storytelling underpinned by earworms of the first order. As Steve Stanley, one of Canada's journeymen songwriters and host of Northern Wish radio, says, of Lazarettes - "artists standing up against fascism is where it's at."
Lazarettes began as a collective of musicians featuring members of Fembots and Sour Landslide, releasing records and performing in and around Toronto, Canada. When the call came to play a fateful show at Toronto's legendary Horseshoe Tavern and not all members could assemble, principal songwriter Chris Tait called on guitarist Richard Peirce, songwriter/musician Bryce Thomas, bassist Chris Monster and legendary drummer Adam Warner (Ron Sexsmith, Sarah Slean, Sarah Harmer, Bahamas, Royal Wood, Jill Barber,Whitehorse) to fill the void.
Ron Hawkins, long a friend of the group's members, joined on to helm the recording at Union Sound with engineer Chris Stringer. What happened next was three days of bottling the lightning the band suddenly found themselves riding.
Today, with the first single “Knock is at the Door” out and the band touring in support of the Sweet Misery album, Lazarettes is coming into its own with a raucous live show featuring sharp, literate songwriting, driving rhythms and singalong harmonies. Lazarettes are aimed at your heart and your head.

DE TORONTO AVEC SWEET MISERY
Le groupe Lazarettes, originaire de Toronto, au Canada, est actuellement en tournée pour promouvoir son dernier album Sweet Misery, produit par Ron Hawkins de Lowest of the Low. Le groupe joue un rock alternatif aux racines profondes, riche en harmonies et en récits, soutenu par des mélodies entraînantes de premier ordre. Comme le dit Steve Stanley, l'un des auteurs-compositeurs chevronnés du Canada et animateur de l'émission Northern Wish, à propos de Lazarettes : « Les artistes qui s'opposent au fascisme, c'est ça qui compte. »
Lazarettes a débuté comme un collectif de musiciens comprenant des membres de Fembots et Sour Landslide, qui sortaient des disques et se produisaient à Toronto et dans les environs, au Canada. Lorsqu'ils ont été invités à jouer un concert décisif au légendaire Horseshoe Tavern de Toronto et que tous les membres n'ont pas pu se réunir, le compositeur principal Chris Tait a fait appel au guitariste Richard Peirce, au compositeur/musicien Bryce Thomas, au bassiste Chris Monster et au légendaire batteur Adam Warner (Ron Sexsmith, Sarah Slean, Sarah Harmer, Bahamas, Royal Wood, Jill Barber, Whitehorse) pour combler le vide.
Ron Hawkins, ami de longue date des membres du groupe, s'est joint à eux pour diriger l'enregistrement à Union Sound avec l'ingénieur Chris Stringer. Ce qui s'est passé ensuite, ce sont trois jours où le groupe a su saisir l'occasion qui s'offrait à lui.
Aujourd'hui, avec la sortie du premier single « Knock is at the Door » et la tournée du groupe pour promouvoir l'album Sweet Misery, Lazarettes s'impose avec un spectacle live endiablé, caractérisé par des compositions intelligentes et pointues, des rythmes entraînants et des harmonies qui donnent envie de chanter en chœur. Lazarettes vise votre cœur et votre tête.

Bad ideas, VCRs, crumbling factories, terrible therapists, hairy dogs, wrinkled shirts, French fries, questionable tattoos...all are fair game for Nova Scotian funeral director-turned-songwriter Terra Spencer. And the songs are good ones, judging from the stack of awards her three albums have received and from the caliber of her cohorts. They include Dave Gunning, Matt Andersen, and tourmate David Francey, who welcomed Terra as a co-writer and performer on his JUNO-winning album The Breath Between. 
In September 2024, Terra will follow up Old News, her acclaimed collaboration with Ben Caplan, with a new 12-song solo album called Sunset. Although her butterscotch voice, deft fingerstyle guitar, and gospel-charged piano make her a formidable musician, it's her onstage ease and crackling wit that make each show feel like a knee-to-knee conversation in a room of 5 or 500, where you’ll snort, you’ll blush, you’ll weep.
Equal parts “songwriter’s songwriter” and crowd charmer - is she the Canadian Carole King? “The real deal.” - Ron Sexsmith

Minor Gold — ARIA-nominated songwriters Tracy McNeil (CAN) & Dan Parsons (AUS) - embark on their North American album tour for their sophomore album Way to the Sun: a lush, harmony-drenched blend of cosmic country and folk.Produced by Dan Horne (Mapache, Cass McCombs), Way to the Sun was hailed by UNCUT as “an alluring telepathy… rarely heard since Emmylou & Gram,” crowned Best New Music, and held in the top 50 Americana Radio charts for 9 weeks.
Recorded over seven sun-soaked days at Ultimate Hair Farm in Glendale, California, the album slowly emerged like a hazy mirage from a cosmic, suburban dream. Poolside barbecues, late-night percussion jams, and moonlit swims shaped a record that felt more discovered than made. Written across Australian highways and finished in Middle America, it’s a bold evolution - seeking light in the shadows, and letting go just enough to watch the sun rise.
After three years of international touring and festival appearances across North America, the UK, and Europe, Minor Gold are back - bringing their irresistible live show and new songs to North American audiences in 2026.

“There’s an alluring telepathy to the way the voices curl around each other, rarely heard in country music since Emmylou Harris rode shotgun with Gram Parsons, aligned to eloquent lyrics.” – UNCUT (UK)
“Blissful, harmony-rich Americana associated with Laurel Canyon’s early-70s pomp, washed with psychedelic pedal steel” – PROG Magazine (UK)
“a confident, cohesive, and compelling chapter in the ongoing journey of a duo who clearly know where they are headed…a quietly radiant gem.” –Rhythms Magazine (AUS)
"Simon & Garfunkel in pearl-button shirts, or Seals and Crofts in spurs" - Bernard Zuel

About Brad Mehldau
One of the most lyrical and intimate voices of contemporary jazz piano, Brad Mehldau has forged a unique path, which embodies the essence of jazz exploration, classical romanticism and pop allure. From critical acclaim as a bandleader to major international exposure in collaborations with Pat Metheny, Renee Fleming, and Joshua Redman, Mehldau continues to garner numerous awards and admiration from both jazz purists and music enthusiasts alike. His forays into melding musical idioms, in both trio and solo settings, has seen brilliant re-workings of songs by contemporary songwriters like The Beatles, Cole Porter, Radiohead, Paul Simon, Gershwin and Nick Drake; alongside the ever evolving breadth of his own significant catalogue of original compositions. With his self-proclaimed affection for popular music and classical training, “Mehldau is the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years” (The New York Times).

Lui" (He) (او) - Montreal May 28
Age Limit: 7+
The latest work by Ashkan Khatibi, a renowned artist in Iranian cinema and theater, is a deeply personal play that serves as a semi-autobiographical reflection. While it tells the artist’s own story, it also captures the experiences of thousands who have endured the harsh realities of censorship and oppression.
"Lui" was published in Italy in both Persian and Italian by the prestigious publisher Baldini & Castoldi. The play enjoyed a highly successful seven-night run in Milan, produced by Teatro Franco Parenti, where it was met with enthusiastic acclaim from audiences.
This compelling performance will be performed in Vancouver for the first time after Italy, Sweden, Norway, and Austria.
"Lui"
is an open letter to the free world.
"I have written a work about myself:
torture, abuse, nightmares.
But it could be the story of any artist
who defends the rights of their people.”
Director, Writer, Designer, and Actor: Ashkan Khatibi
Duration: 90 minutes

Mama’s Broke have spent over a decade in a near-constant state of transience, pounding the transatlantic tour trail. They've brought their dark, fiery folk-without-borders sound to major festivals and DIY punk houses alike, absorbing traditions from their maritime home in Eastern Canada all the way to Ireland and Indonesia. Nowhere is the duo's art-in-motion approach more apparent than on their long-awaited JUNO-nominated sophomore record Narrow Line  (released May 2022 on Free Dirt Records) It's the sound of nowhere in particular, yet woven with a rich synthesis of influences that knows no borders.
The eleven songs on Narrow Line burrow deeply, with close harmony duets, commanding vocals, and poignant contemplations on cycles of life, including birth and death. Tinges of Americana stand side-by-side with the ghosts of Eastern European fiddle tunes and ancient a cappella ballad singing, melding into an unusually accessible dark-folk sound. A careful listen of Narrow Line invokes an ephemeral sense of place—whether real or imagined—inviting us to take comfort in the infinite possibilities of life, whether or not we ever choose to settle down. 
For a group defined by constant touring, it’s not surprising that the two artists that make up Mama’s Broke, Lisa Maria and Amy Lou Keeler, met on the road. Both coming out of travelling communities that are focused on music and protest, the two owe the way in which they move through the world to the integrated and self-sustaining nature of DIY culture and activism. It was a busy life that took them on a roundabout annual touring schedule running between Canada, the United States, Ireland, the UK, and Europe.
The driving force behind this band is – and has always been – the commitment to challenge borders between people, places, and traditions; while encouraging freedom of expression and community through music.

A Saskatoon native transplanted to the Niagara Region of Ontario, Roots and Blues singer and musician Suzie Vinnick is a 3X Juno Nominee, a 2X Canadian Folk Music Award winner, won a 2024 ECMA with her project A’Court, Spiegel and Vinnick and is a 12-time winner of the Maple Blues Award for songwriting, female vocalist, acoustic act and more. Suzie has a voice you’ve heard a thousand times and one you’ll never forget. It soars, it growls, it whispers and it shouts from a deep, deep well of emotion. The pure joy she exudes when she plays her guitars is so worth the show.
In May 2024, Suzie performed at the Teatro Nazionale in Genova, Italy, as a guest of Italian acoustic guitarist and singer Beppe Gambetta and she also performed at the Baltic Blues Festival in Eutin, Germany. In July 2024 Suzie and her band opened for Burton Cummings at the Kemptville Live Music Festival; she also appeared as a special guest of Blackie & the Rodeo Kings at Ottawa Bluesfest in 2023, performing alongside Daniel Lanois.  She has also toured nationally with Downchild, Stuart McLean’s The Vinyl Café, with ASV (Charlie A’Court, Lloyd Spiegel and Vinnick), the John McDermott Band and she performed for Canadian Peacekeepers in Bosnia and the Persian Gulf. She was also the voice of Tim Horton’s for 5 years.
Her latest album is entitled “Fall Back Home”.

The season concludes in grand fashion with Joseph Haydn’s The Creation, presented in collaboration with the Ottawa Choral Society, celebrating its 85th anniversary.
Widely regarded as a masterpiece of the Classical period, Haydn’s oratorio draws on a German translation of Milton’s Paradise Lost. Its 1799 premiere in Vienna was a sensation, and the work continues to inspire audiences with its sweeping vision and luminous music.
