LeVolume is a new project for its members Jenny Whitely, Joey Wright and Julian Brown. Brought together by their love of the letter J, the trio soon found they had a lot in common musically, as well!
The music created by Jenny, Joey and Julian as LeVolume has the uncanny effect of buoying your spirit at one turn and touching your soul at the next weave beauty, melancholy and humour deftly into a gorgeous LeVolume quilt that can be used to warm you by the fire or readily thrown on the sand for a sunny waterside picnic. 
LeVolume released their debut recording, a: self-titled! summer-themed! double-record! in May 2025. One half in English, one half in French!
Le Volume writes their original songs in both English and French, while also interpreting and translating songs by such luminaries as Doug Paisley, Jesse Winchester and Carolyn Mark. The band also has the thrill of including an original song by Canadian literary giant Ann-Marie MacDonald in their repertoire, written just for them! Their songs explore topics from first summer love to sub-division dreams, beach-town rendezvous to small-town Ontario's own ubiquitous Metal Dad (not doin' too bad!)
LeVolume's music features the rich strumming of acoustic guitars, the bright tinkling of mandolins and etherial vocals with loads of harmonies strewn throughout as each member takes a turn on lead vocals. The result is a rich yet light, folk-not-folk, bubbly yet heavy concoction that is sure to intoxicate its listeners. LeVolume takes the music seriously, but not themselves, just like Fleetwood Mac, except without the drums, bass, piano, cocaine and infidelity. They're also funny.

LeVolume est un nouveau projet pour ses membres Jenny Whitely, Joey Wright et Julian Brown. Réunis par leur amour pour la lettre J, le trio s'est rapidement rendu compte qu'il avait également beaucoup en commun sur le plan musical !
La musique créée par Jenny, Joey et Julian sous le nom de LeVolume a l'étrange effet de vous remonter le moral à un moment donné et de toucher votre âme l'instant d'après, mêlant habilement beauté, mélancolie et humour dans une magnifique courtepointe LeVolume qui peut être utilisée pour vous réchauffer près du feu ou être facilement jetée sur le sable pour un pique-nique ensoleillé au bord de l'eau.
LeVolume a sorti son premier album, un double album éponyme sur le thème de l'été, en mai 2025. La moitié est en anglais, l'autre moitié en français !
Le Volume écrit ses chansons originales en anglais et en français, tout en interprétant et en traduisant des chansons de grands noms tels que Doug Paisley, Jesse Winchester et Carolyn Mark. Le groupe a également le plaisir d'inclure dans son répertoire une chanson originale écrite spécialement pour lui par la grande écrivaine canadienne Ann-Marie MacDonald ! Leurs chansons explorent des thèmes allant du premier amour estival aux rêves de lotissement, en passant par les rendez-vous dans les villes balnéaires et le Metal Dad omniprésent dans les petites villes de l'Ontario (qui ne s'en sort pas trop mal !).
La musique de LeVolume se caractérise par le riche son des guitares acoustiques, le tintement clair des mandolines et des voix éthérées, avec de nombreuses harmonies disséminées tout au long des morceaux, chaque membre prenant tour à tour le rôle de chanteur principal. Le résultat est un mélange riche mais léger, folk sans être folk, pétillant mais intense, qui ne manquera pas d'enivrer ses auditeurs. LeVolume prend la musique au sérieux, mais pas eux-mêmes, tout comme Fleetwood Mac, sauf qu'ils n'ont pas de batterie, de basse, de piano, de cocaïne ni d'infidélité. Ils sont aussi drôles.

Ya, I Can Afford A Night Out

Holy Shit, I Love These Guys

From Namur to the cosmopolis, and everything in between.
Born in rural Quebec, Rod grew up immersed in the rich traditions of folk and country music. Over the past three decades, he's travelled the globe to broaden those roots—studying philosophy, literature, and collaborating across genres and cultures.
A formative period came in early-2000s Montreal, where Rod studied under Brazilian jazz guitarist Jorge Costa and fronted a number of rock and progressive rock bands, further expanding his musical voice.
In more recent years, Rod co-founded the folk-rock outfit HemlockHotel with longtime collaborator Dany Lee Duke. As lead songwriter and frontman, Rod helped shape the band’s unique sound over the course of nearly 20 original releases in five years.
Now based in Ottawa, Rod is focused on a range of solo and collaborative projects. His debut solo album—produced by Juno Award-winning producer Steve Foley—is currently in development, with a release planned for spring 2026.
Live, Rod regularly performs throughout the Toronto–Montreal corridor, often accompanied by guitarist Mark Strachan (formerly of Vancouver-based Themasses).
His current setlist features heartfelt reinterpretations of songs by The Tragically Hip, woven together with his own original material for an emotionally resonant and uniquely Canadian live experience.
--/--
De Namur à la cosmopole, en passant par tout ce qui se trouve entre les deux.
Né dans la campagne québécoise, Rod a grandi immergé dans les riches traditions de la musique folk et country. Au cours des trois dernières décennies, il a parcouru le monde pour élargir ses horizons, étudiant la philosophie, la littérature et collaborant avec différents genres et cultures.
Une période formatrice s'est déroulée au début des années 2000 à Montréal, où Rod a étudié sous la direction du guitariste de jazz brésilien Jorge Costa et a dirigé plusieurs groupes de rock et de rock progressif, élargissant ainsi sa voix musicale.
Plus récemment, Rod a cofondé le groupe de folk-rock HemlockHotel avec son collaborateur de longue date, Dany Lee Duke. En tant que compositeur principal et leader, Rod a contribué à façonner le son unique du groupe au cours de près de 20 albums originaux en cinq ans.
Aujourd'hui basé à Ottawa, Rod se consacre à divers projets solo et collaboratifs. Son premier album solo, produit par Steve Foley, lauréat d'un prix Juno, est actuellement en cours d'élaboration et devrait sortir au printemps 2026.
Rod se produit régulièrement en concert dans la région de Toronto-Montréal, souvent accompagné du guitariste Mark Strachan (anciennement membre du groupe Themasses, basé à Vancouver).
Sa setlist actuelle comprend des réinterprétations sincères de chansons de The Tragically Hip, entremêlées de ses propres compositions, pour une expérience live émouvante et typiquement canadienne.
 

Rod Leggett & Mark Strachan Sing The Tragically Hip

General Admission

 
Contemporary folk songs, at their very best, offer an insight into the hardships, attitudes, and resolve of characters and events that shape our day-to-day lives. You can dress these songs up in inspired arrangements and intricate instrumentation but, at their very essence, the archetypal folk song is all about stories. Stories and people. Something such compelling songwriters as Eric Bogle, Si Kahn, Ewan MacColl, and Stan Rogers … all understood and mined so effectively.
James Keelaghan, too, burrows into that same rich seam with equal ability and comparable conviction. To quote Eric Bibb, the award-winning American acoustic bluesman, after listening to Keelaghan perform: “[You’re] a joy to hear, just beautiful.  Reminded me of the best of the best of another time – Liam Clancy, Tom Paxton etcetera.” Less colourful but more succinct, Dave Marsh, the eminent Rolling Stone critic, simply described Keelaghan as “Canada’s finest songwriter.”
Truly, throughout a career that now spans almost four decades, the Juno and Canadian Folk Music Award winner has created a repertoire of incalculable importance – a unique body of work, either inspired by or drawn from the folk tradition. Ten solo albums flush with enduring lyrical relevance. Take the beautiful but heartbreaking ballad, Jenny Bryce, for example. From any point of view, it’s indistinguishable from the numerous traditional tracks covered on his disc A Few Simple Verses.
--/--
Les chansons folkloriques contemporaines, dans ce qu'elles ont de meilleur, donnent un aperçu des difficultés, des attitudes et de la détermination des personnages et des événements qui façonnent notre vie quotidienne. On peut habiller ces chansons d'arrangements inspirés et d'une instrumentation complexe, mais l'archétype de la chanson folklorique, dans son essence même, est une histoire. Des histoires et des gens. Une chose que des auteurs-compositeurs aussi convaincants qu'Eric Bogle, Si Kahn, Ewan MacColl et Stan Rogers ... ont tous compris et exploité avec tant d'efficacité.
James Keelaghan, lui aussi, creuse ce même filon avec la même habileté et une conviction comparable. Pour citer Eric Bibb, le bluesman acoustique américain primé, après avoir écouté Keelaghan : "[Vous êtes] un plaisir à entendre, tout simplement magnifique. Cela m'a rappelé les meilleurs des meilleurs d'une autre époque - Liam Clancy, Tom Paxton, etc. Moins coloré mais plus succinct, Dave Marsh, l'éminent critique de Rolling Stone, a simplement décrit Keelaghan comme « le meilleur auteur-compositeur canadien ».
En effet, au cours d'une carrière qui s'étend maintenant sur près de quatre décennies, le lauréat des prix Juno et du Canadian Folk Music Award a créé un répertoire d'une importance incalculable - un ensemble unique d'œuvres, inspirées ou tirées de la tradition folklorique. Dix albums solo d'une grande pertinence lyrique. Prenons par exemple la ballade Jenny Bryce, belle mais déchirante. À tout point de vue, elle ne se distingue pas des nombreux morceaux traditionnels repris sur son disque A Few Simple Verses.

Stephen Fearing is a celebrated troubadour, revered for his vivid, lyrical songwriting, masterful guitar work, and a voice described as melodic and cobalt. He has released critically acclaimed albums, earned two JUNO Awards, and collaborated with legends of modern roots music. As co-founder of the Canadian roots-rock giants Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Fearing has built a legacy of genre-busting music that captures the human condition in all its messy splendour. “I am a storyteller much more than a singer/songwriter,” Fearing reflects, “because I realized my story was less interesting than the story.”
His latest project, The Empathist, will be released on March 13th, 2025. Co-produced by Grammy-nominated drummer Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo) at his East Nashville Cartoon Moon Recording, the album features nine original songs and a cover of Daniel Lanois’ Where Will I Be. With contributions from John Dymond on bass and Nashville legend Jim Hoke on a range of instruments, The Empathist embodies Fearing’s passion for crafting authentic, exhilarating, and entertaining songs. Each track draws from the truths he observes worldwide, solidifying Fearing’s reputation as a masterful and relatable storyteller.
Fearing's music transcends boundaries, seamlessly blending roots, folk, and Americana influences to create a mesmerizing sound that has captivated audiences nationally and internationally. Building his following ‘old school’ through countless performances at intimate venues, concert halls, and festivals, Fearing has earned a reputation as one of Canada’s great musical storytellers. His ability to craft narratives that delve into the depths of human emotion, coupled with his prowess as a guitarist, has solidified his status as a true icon of the Canadian music scene.
Throughout his journey, Fearing has remained true to his roots, constantly pushing the boundaries of his artistry while staying grounded in the storytelling traditions that have defined his music. As he continues to evolve as an artist and storyteller, Stephen Fearing reaffirms his status as one of Canada’s most acclaimed guitarists and musical visionaries, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of contemporary folk music.

Stephen Fearing est un troubadour célèbre, admiré pour ses compositions vivantes et lyriques, son jeu de guitare magistral et sa voix qualifiée de mélodieuse et de cobalt. Il a sorti des albums acclamés par la critique, remporté deux prix JUNO et collaboré avec des légendes de la musique roots moderne. En tant que cofondateur du groupe canadien de rock roots Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Fearing s'est bâti un héritage musical qui transcende les genres et capture la condition humaine dans toute sa splendeur chaotique. « Je suis bien plus un conteur qu'un auteur-compositeur-interprète, confie Fearing, car j'ai réalisé que mon histoire était moins intéressante que l'histoire en général. »
Son dernier projet, The Empathist, sortira le 13 mars 2025. Coproduit par le batteur Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo), nominé aux Grammy Awards, dans son studio Cartoon Moon Recording à East Nashville, l'album comprend neuf chansons originales et une reprise de Where Will I Be de Daniel Lanois. Avec la participation de John Dymond à la basse et de la légende de Nashville Jim Hoke à divers instruments, The Empathist incarne la passion de Fearing pour la création de chansons authentiques, exaltantes et divertissantes. Chaque morceau s'inspire des réalités qu'il observe à travers le monde, consolidant ainsi la réputation de Fearing en tant que conteur magistral et accessible.
La musique de Fearing transcende les frontières, mélangeant harmonieusement des influences roots, folk et americana pour créer un son envoûtant qui a captivé le public national et international. En se constituant un public « old school » grâce à d'innombrables concerts dans des salles intimistes, des salles de concert et des festivals, Fearing s'est forgé une réputation de grand conteur musical canadien. Sa capacité à créer des récits qui explorent les profondeurs des émotions humaines, associée à ses talents de guitariste, a consolidé son statut d'icône de la scène musicale canadienne.
Tout au long de son parcours, Fearing est resté fidèle à ses racines, repoussant sans cesse les limites de son art tout en restant ancré dans les traditions narratives qui ont défini sa musique. Alors qu'il continue d'évoluer en tant qu'artiste et conteur, Stephen Fearing réaffirme son statut de guitariste et de visionnaire musical parmi les plus acclamés du Canada, laissant une empreinte indélébile sur le paysage de la musique folk contemporaine.

Since emigrating from his native England in 2002, Chris Ronald has earned a place as one of Canada’s finest singer-songwriters creating and performing contemporary folk music. Ronald's stand-out signature sound is steeped in his British background, poetic lyrics, and a buttery fusion of roots and Americana music.
Ronald first got hooked on songwriting at age 15 when he put to music a poem he wrote in high school, but he only started to go public after he moved to Vancouver in his thirties and self-produced his first albums so he had CDs to sell at the intimate gigs he was playing in and around the city. One of these early works caught the attention of The Georgia Straight who praised Ronald’s songwriting and “beautifully clear tenor voice” and wondered “where his obvious talent has been hiding for so long.” Encouraged, Ronald decided to go all in on his next project to create his first full-production studio album. The resulting Timeline (2014) album catapulted Ronald to a new level in his career with, among other accolades, a nomination for “Songwriter of the Year” at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. Shortly afterward, Ronald was signed to esteemed Canadian folk label Borealis Records to release Fragments (2017) followed by Light & Dark (2021). Both albums achieved top 10 on the FAI Folk Radio chart.
Chris Ronald is an international touring artist who draws on his abilities as a highly skilled singer, storyteller and musician (guitar, harmonica, ukulele) to deliver a show that is captivating and unique.

Based in Smith Falls, Nathan Smith is a fiddle player with a style informed by a decades-long journey through numerous genres and traditions such as bluegrass, old-time, québécois, and French fiddling. He is in nearly constant demand as a performer, educator, and session player, and he performs regularly with a number of touring ensembles including celebrated bluegrass and roots band The Barrel Boys and award-winning trad superband Vinta.
--/--
Depuis qu'il a quitté son Angleterre natale en 2002, Chris Ronald s'est taillé une place parmi les meilleurs auteurs-compositeurs-interprètes canadiens qui créent et interprètent de la musique folk contemporaine. Le son caractéristique de Ronald est imprégné de ses origines britanniques, de ses paroles poétiques et d'une fusion savoureuse de musique roots et Americana.
Ronald a commencé à écrire des chansons à l'âge de 15 ans, lorsqu'il a mis en musique un poème qu'il avait écrit au lycée, mais il n'a commencé à se faire connaître qu'après avoir déménagé à Vancouver dans la trentaine et autoproduit ses premiers albums afin d'avoir des CD à vendre lors des concerts intimes qu'il donnait dans la ville et ses environs. L'une de ces premières œuvres a attiré l'attention du journal The Georgia Straight, qui a loué l'écriture de Ronald et sa « voix de ténor magnifiquement claire », tout en se demandant « où son talent évident s'est caché pendant si longtemps ». Encouragé, Ronald a décidé de se lancer à fond dans son prochain projet pour créer son premier album studio entièrement produit. L'album Timeline (2014) qui en a résulté a catapulté Ronald à un nouveau niveau dans sa carrière avec, entre autres accolades, une nomination pour le titre d'« auteur-compositeur de l'année » aux Canadian Folk Music Awards. Peu de temps après, Ronald a signé avec l'estimé label folk canadien Borealis Records pour sortir Fragments (2017), suivi de Light & Dark (2021). Les deux albums ont atteint le top 10 du classement FAI Folk Radio.
Chris Ronald est un artiste de tournée internationale qui s'appuie sur ses talents de chanteur, de conteur et de musicien (guitare, harmonica, ukulélé) pour offrir un spectacle captivant et unique.
INVITÉ SPÉCIAL NATHAN SMITH
Établi à Smith Falls, Nathan Smith est un violoniste dont le style s'inspire d'un voyage de plusieurs décennies à travers de nombreux genres et traditions tels que le bluegrass, le old-time, le violon québécois et le violon français.

Ritchie captive son public avec l'assurance d'un leader chevronné, lui offrant à chaque concert une énergie rock digne d'un stade.

Jason Mercer and I spent the last year dancing around the idea of how we might play some music together. Jason is one of my favourite players on the planet. I first knew him as a bassist, but he’ll be bringing his banjo to this project as well... In recent times, Jason had all but put down the electric bass, so we knew this wasn’t going to be a rock/guitar endeavour...
After a booking at The St. Alban’s Hall in Adolphustown, Ontario in May 2025 was followed by an interesting request to make the show all-acoustic, Stephen Stanley & NoElectric was born. It was a no-brainer that my closest collaborator for the past 15 years, Chris Bennett, would join in on 6 and 12 string guitars...
I then felt we needed one more person to bring this all-acoustic band together. Over a decade ago, one of the jewels of the Toronto music scene was a bar in the Junction called The Troubadour. It was there that I first met Michael O’Grady - and not long after he became the focus of the third verse of a song I wrote called “The Troubadour’s Song” Michael is a brilliant live performer and brings both the accordion and the tin whistle to the NoElectric fold...
And everyone sings...! Add in me on acoustic guitar and NoElectric lives!
The music will be a walk through my entire catalogue from the early days right up to the present including songs from Lowest of the Low, Too Many Sisters and The Stephen Stanley Band, along with new songs that have yet to be heard, and will end up comprising the first Stephen Stanley & NoElectric album.

Tania is currently in working towards recording her third album and  is the Co-founder, Executive Director/Artistic Director of Springtide Music Festival, in Uxbridge, Ontario.

Jason Mercer et moi avons passé l'année dernière à réfléchir à la manière dont nous pourrions jouer de la musique ensemble. Jason est l'un de mes musiciens préférés au monde. Je l'ai d'abord connu comme bassiste, mais il apportera également son banjo à ce projet... Ces derniers temps, Jason avait pratiquement abandonné la basse électrique, nous savions donc que ce ne serait pas un projet rock/guitare...
Après une réservation au St. Alban's Hall à Adolphustown, en Ontario, en mai 2025, nous avons reçu une demande intéressante : faire un spectacle entièrement acoustique. C'est ainsi qu'est né Stephen Stanley & NoElectric. Il était évident que mon plus proche collaborateur depuis 15 ans, Chris Bennett, se joindrait à nous avec ses guitares à 6 et 12 cordes...
J'ai alors senti qu'il nous fallait une personne de plus pour compléter ce groupe entièrement acoustique. Il y a plus de dix ans, l'un des joyaux de la scène musicale torontoise était un bar du quartier Junction appelé The Troubadour. C'est là que j'ai rencontré Michael O'Grady pour la première fois, et peu de temps après, il est devenu le sujet du troisième couplet d'une chanson que j'ai écrite, intitulée « The Troubadour's Song ». Michael est un brillant interprète sur scène et apporte à la fois l'accordéon et le tin whistle à NoElectric...
Et tout le monde chante... ! Ajoutez-moi à la guitare acoustique et NoElectric prend vie !
La musique sera un voyage à travers tout mon répertoire, depuis mes débuts jusqu'à aujourd'hui, avec des chansons de Lowest of the Low, Too Many Sisters et The Stephen Stanley Band, ainsi que de nouvelles chansons qui n'ont pas encore été entendues et qui finiront par composer le premier album de Stephen Stanley & NoElectric.

L'artiste folk-roots Tania Joy apporte une touche émouvante et poignante à ses compositions, qui reflètent des réflexions profondément personnelles, tout en abordant des récits complexes et en attirant l'attention sur des mouvements sociaux tels que Black Lives Matter dans son dernier album « I Will Stand », produit par Hill Kourkoutis, lauréat d'un prix Juno. Tania travaille actuellement à l'enregistrement de son troisième album et est cofondatrice, directrice générale et directrice artistique du Springtide Music Festival, à Uxbridge, en Ontario.

Singer-songwriter Mike McKenna Jr. is an award-winning artist from Cape Breton Island; with a raspy and soulful voice, his warm folk and Americana tones decorate powerful songs laden with captivating storytelling. Born in the coal mining town of Glace Bay and raised along the Mira River, Mike's songwriting aesthetic points heavily to his roots growing up in Eastern Cape Breton. Over the course of 4 studio albums, including his latest record ‘Smokey Mountain High’, he brings us the nostalgia of his home through dreamy narratives and true stories about life and death in Nova Scotia’s coastal, working-class communities. In recent years Mike’s music has earned him an East Coast Music Award, along with additional nominations from the Canadian Folk Music Awards and the Music Nova Scotia Awards. His songs have twice landed him a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition (I.S.C.), and his newest single ‘Grassfire’ continues to receive national airplay on CBC Radio and considerable international airplay on SiriusXM’s North Americana.
 
Like sirens calling from an ancient shore, the haunting three-part harmonies of Jessica Pearson & The East Wind will bind you in a timeless folkloric spell. Alchemizing roots, classic country, Americana and Celtic soundscapes, the trio spin tales of outlaw heroics, matriarchal power, resistance and resilience, and the unrelenting beauty of becoming who you are.
​Jessica Pearson and the East Wind's live show will first bring you to the edge of your seat, and then to the edge of tears - before spilling over into joy, community, and a sense of sacred, shared power. 
Backed by the impeccable harmonies of Sam Stone and Malia Rogers alongside clawhammer banjo, mandolin, and tasteful percussion, Jessica's storytelling and songs centre kindness and vulnerability while imploring audiences toward a better future for all. Audiences will enjoy versatile Americana stomp-and-holler, upbeat Celtic sing-and-sway, and intimate, high-lonesome folk ballads, replete with singalong choruses, energetic audience banter, and the occasional unexpected party trick.
 JPEW's newest song cycle balances complex topics such as gender-based violence and mental health with moments of levity, empowerment, and reminders to embrace the beautiful imperfections that make us unique. With an upcoming two-part album produced by JUNO-winner Hill Kourkoutis featuring an all-women team, JPEW is rising up to offer a powerful musical battle cry against the status quo.
 
Don't be afraid to show up alone; from the minute the first chord plays, you'll be among friends.

2025-2026 Carleton Ravens Women's Hockey - Single Game Tickets


Twenty years into its existence, indie folk rock collective Octoberman’s latest single, We Used To Talk of Death, reckons with aging and the evolution of relationships, both to people and places. The regular lineup of Marc Morrissette (vocals, guitar), Marshall Bureau (drums), Tavo Diez de Bonilla (bass, background vocals), J.J. Ipsen (acoustic guitar) and Annelise Noronha (background vocals) was recorded primarily straight to tape and live off the floor by Jarrett Bartlett (Howe Gelb, The Acorn, Jim Bryson) at Little Bullhorn studios in Ottawa, Ontario.  
Described as “Stephen Malkmus at his loosest” by Pitchfork, and “like a sunnier Elliott Smith or Sparklehorse” by Uncut Magazine, Octoberman’s songs have garnered numerous television placements, including a prominent spot on Grey’s Anatomy. Having toured regularly across North America, the UK and Europe, Octoberman has shared stages with acts such as Owen Pallett, Chad VanGaalen, Sam Amidon, Mount Eerie and Julie Doiron. After long stints in Vancouver and Toronto, members are currently spread across Ontario.

Andy Swan is the type of musician who often gets politely referred to as a "critic's favourite"—that's short hand for "really good, but tragically ignored". Unlike many critic faves, however, Swan's music doesn't require a wealth of musical knowledge or esoteric tastes to 'get'. In fact, whether as the songwriter for The Michael Parks (formerly Detective Kalita), or in his solo incarnation, his music is just the opposite: direct, catchy, and immediate.
This is especially evident on his beautiful album, Ottawa. In just over a half an hour, Swan plays thirteen songs whose choruses get comfortably nestled into your head the second you hear them; a good thing seeing as most of the tunes only last long enough to reach the chorus twice. Swan has stated a desire to make this record the kind of album that people would sing along to. It's an admirable objective—one as difficult as it is innocent—and when you listen to a tune like "Can I Pay You With Sunshine?", you gotta admit: he nailed it.

East Coast songwriter Lennie Gallant has released fifteen albums of original songs which have won him a host of awards and nominations from the JUNOs, Les Prix Éloizes, and The ECMAs. His songs have been described as “true slices of life delivered with a poet’s flair and a rugged emotional sensibility”. His song Peter’s Dream, about the state of the oceans and those who harvest from it was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Lennie performs internationally and has toured, not only with his band, but also with symphony orchestras. His songs have been covered by many artists and he has performed with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers and with David Foster and his band.
Lennie has two co-writes on Jimmy's last album, and was invited to sing on it as a featured artist. One of Lennie's physical albums actually was taken up to the international space station and circled the planet 248 times, finally giving the artist high rotation worldwide!
His album, Time Travel, was voted a top ten Album of the Year by a panel of Canadian music industry personnel, and his recent all original Christmas album has enabled sold out tours. He and partner Patricia Richard also record and perform as the popular Francophone duo, Sirène et Matelot. Their songs have achieved strong play on francophone radio and have consistently remained on the charts! Lennie Gallant is a member of The Order of Canada and has been recognized for his humanitarian efforts.

Claude Munson is an independent folk rock singer-songwriter from Ottawa, Ontario. Writing and performing his original music for more than a decade Claude’s singing can be described as Paul Simon meets Andy Shauf — an unforgettable emotional musical experience. Exploring his innermost thoughts and feelings Claude uses his unique and angelic voice to deliver vulnerability and perspective about the human spirit. Whether solo or accompanied by his talented bandmates and with his versatile and rhythmic guitar styling, Munson and his group create beautiful and dynamic musical landscapes.
Matt Lazenby is a singer-songwriter based in Montreal. Matt migrated to Montreal from England in the late 2000s and has played in bands such as Halde and The Constant Supervision. His debut solo album, Clouds of Dragonflies, was released in May 2025 and has been featured on Québec television, CBC and college radio, as well as multiple Apple Music playlists. The album is a collection of 9 folk songs, spanning a range of influences from retro folk-pop, to Americana and British pastoral sounds of the 1960s. Lazenby’s songs are deeply personal and earnest, but at the same time cryptic. The album’s songwriting is rooted in straightforward, catchy folk but also incorporates different styles, such as pop and indie.

Absolute Comedy Ottawa: Headliner Dino Archie and MC Tom Calnan


Martin Kerr sings what you're thinking. A folk troubadour for the post-truth age, his outspoken lyrics and soaring voice are connecting with millions of listeners around the world. He blends the urgent issues of the day with deeply personal narratives, in nostalgic folk arrangements that invite you to sing along.
Explosive growth on social media has seen him reach over 50 million people in just the last few months, with his controversial rewrites of classic songs like God Rest Ye Merry Billionaires, Away In Bomb Shelters, and What's Up America? being adopted as anthems for justice and democracy. Making waves with his captivating live performances, he's opened for Dermot Kennedy, Sarah McLachlan, Walk Off The Earth, Blue Rodeo and The Strumbellas, and played festival stages across North America.
Martin honed his live show through 15 years as a street-performer, visiting 35 countries. In 2022 he signed with Nettwerk Records and released a flurry of new work, including his latest EP, After The Apocalypse.
Producers Ben Cramer (Old Sea Brigade) and Owen Lewis (Snow Patrol, Willie Nelson) lend Kerr’s sound new depth - somewhere between James Taylor and Radiohead, tackling themes romantic and apocalyptic, laced with his dry British humour.
“It's incredible to see people singing my songs around the planet, raising their voices together, calling for peace, truth and justice. I hope you sing along and feel you’re not the only one.” said Martin.
With his following snowballing by the day, 2025 promises to be a breakout year for Martin Kerr, with another new album on the way, and new adventures on the horizon.

Benjamin Dakota Rogers wields one of those distinct, immediate,and truly wild voices. With a studied nod to old-time and bluegrass rhythms, his unvarnished sound effectively smashes the barrier between past and present.
Delivering songs from a deep well of passion for storytelling, Rogers’ lyric sensibility is rare among young artists. His single, John Came Home, is a haunting take on the murder ballad. “I’d had the riff for about six months,” he says. “I tend to write short stories and convert them into songs.” John Came Home is full of upbeat boldness and ghostly ire that culminates in a direct hit to the chest.
Rogers finds a way to match his instrument to the guttural twang of the voice. “I inherited my great-grandfather’s violin when I was young,” he says. “So I grew up playing that.” After a few years on six-string, Rogers began tuning his tenor guitar like a fiddle. “Tenors are neat because they were only popular for a short time in the 1920s. I’ve played about two-hundred shows on mine. It’s beautiful, and unreliable,” he laughs. The unconventional nature of such a classic piece shines on Charlie Boy, where precise picking builds to a dramatic peak. With sturdy backing by a sparse rhythm section, Rogers offers a fresh and authentic contribution to the traditions of string-band sound.
Zachary Lucky is unapologetically old-school country, armed with a husky, baritone voice. The Grandson of Canadian Country Music pioneer Smilin' Johnnie Lucky, he often receives comparisons to songwriters such as Gordon Lightfoot and Kris Kristofferson. He sings of Canadian places and people as knowingly as he might Townes Van Zandt or the Rio Grande. It's a relatable show on many levels, and conjures universal feelings that have passed through our collective timelines. Already hailed as a master storyteller by outlets ranging from No Depression to The Globe and Mail, Zachary is becoming a legend in his own right and has safely reserved his spot at the table of Canadian roots royalty

Jump on the Ghost Beer Train with the Paul Weber band and spend a night rolling around eastern Ontario and western Quebec learning about things you didn't know existed!
 
The Paul Weber Band is happy to be releasing their latest album Ghost Beer Train at Red Bird Live, with 11 new songs about eastern Ontario and western Quebec. Following in the footsteps of 2020's Ode to Gerry Barber, the new recording is full of strange stories and lost tales: a buried beer train, a forgotten fantasy park, the Vanier cowboy, a local drag queen, and more.  
 
The new songs reflect folk, rock, jazz and world influences--avec des chansons en anglais et en français. Think a bilingual Stompin' Tom with Bruce Springsteen influences and a touch of Tom Waits.
"Paul Weber's show at the Ottawa Grassroots Festival (May 23 , 2023) was excellent and entertaining. Paul had the audience enthralled with his tales of Ottawa's historical life from ghost trains, to Gerry Barber the infamous bouncer at the Chaudière Club. Paul brings history alive through his songs and stories."- Ian Tamblyn, Artistic Director, Ottawa Grassroots Festival - 2023
 
The Paul Weber band is Paul vocals and guitars, Rob Lethbridge upright bass, Camille Forget and Christine Fagan vocals, joined by Kira Montfort drums, Michael Ball fiddle and Dave Draves on everything else.

WHO IS BLACK UMFOLOSI?
Black Umfolosi is a wholly owned indigenous Zimbabwean Company formed and registered by citizens from diverse backgrounds of Matabeleland, Zimbabwe for the purpose of participating in the country’s economic growth. Black Umfolosi Productions (Pvt) Ltd aims at growth from a small and medium enterprise to a corporate level.
The idea of Black Umfolosi came about in 1982 when a group of school mates started improvising their own means of entertainment, while at a ZIMFEP Institute. With a gentleness of spirit, a joy of singing and exuberance in dance, Black Umfolosi has touched audiences of all ages locally and internationally since then, and hence having done sixteen recordings.
Black Umfolosi Productions (Pvt) Ltd is equipped with the capacity to achieve vertical growth, take part in Global economy ownership, and competitively handle international deals.
HISTORYBlack Umfolosi is an award Winning Acappella singing and traditional dance group that was formed in 1982 by students who wanted to develop themselves and contribute to their communities, in a positive way. The main reason for this initiative was to preserve and revive the Imbube Culture which was at the time invaded by Break Dance and Western Culture, in which it was now facing elimination from African Dance Culture.
Black Umfolosi is the best travelled Group in Zimbabwe and Southern Africa, hence having toured extensively nationwide and internationally; Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and Asia. They have represented Zimbabwe at International events such as Universal Expo 1992 in Spain, Universal Expo in Portugal 1998 and the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada among many more.
Black Umfolosi soon found the need in the visited communities for people to see and learn about Zimbabwean Traditions. The group made it their obligation to demonstrate and teach others around the world (including other African countries) about the Zimbabwean and most Southern African traditional dances and music.

Guitarist and vocalist Gordie Johnson, bassist Anders Drerup and 23-year-old phenom drummer Root Valach are fresh from recording the first new Big Sugar album in 5 years to be released later this year. The band is doubling down on the Power Trio format after the past whirlwind year that saw the THIRD MAN RECORDS vinyl release of their influential 500 POUNDS record, a JACK WHITE cover of Big Sugar’s ‘Ride Like Hell’ and an extensive theater tour including dates with JACK WHITE, WARREN HAYNES, THE BLACK CROWES and ISLAND EXODUS w GOV’T MULE.
Since the 90’s Big Sugar have been a staple on the airwaves and highways with their heavy soul-driven sound, combined with socially conscious lyrics and a distinct reggae influence. Songs like “Diggin’ A Hole”, “If I Had My Way”, “Turn the Lights On” and “Roads Ahead” featuring Gordie Johnson’s signature guitar playing have built a loyal following, earning Big Sugar a Road Gold Award as they continue to sell out concerts across North America.

Paul Weber

Paul Weber is a bilingual singer-songwriter, guitarist, storyteller and videographer who has performed across Canada in various incarnations. His high-energy live shows combine folk tunes with storytelling and sometimes video, all presented in a laid-back, humorous way. Paul has won several awards for his music, including in 2023, the Ottawa Historical Society's Francois Bregha Storyteller award.
Paul’s music reflects his eastern-Ontario folk roots and his strong connections to his community. His songs are full of stories about the people and places he grew up with and the history of those places. His most recent album, Ode to Gerry Barber, was inspired by a fire and born during a pandemic. It’s full of stuff that doesn't always make it into the history books—a heartfelt album about community, struggle, and lost stories. From song to song, Paul’s musical styles go from front-porch folk, to jazzy ballad, to country-flavoured pop—you never know what will come out next. His songwriting combines the emotional rawness of Bruce Springsteen with the locally-themed songs of Stompin’ Tom and the historic sagas of Gordon Lightfoot.
--/--
Paul Weber est un auteur-compositeur-interprète, guitariste, conteur et vidéaste bilingue qui s'est produit partout au Canada sous diverses formes. Ses spectacles énergiques combinent des airs folk, des récits et parfois des vidéos, le tout présenté dans une ambiance décontractée et humoristique. Paul a remporté plusieurs prix pour sa musique, dont le prix François Bregha Storyteller de la Société historique d'Ottawa en 2023.
La musique de Paul reflète ses racines folk de l'est de l'Ontario et ses liens étroits avec sa communauté. Ses chansons regorgent d'histoires sur les personnes et les lieux qui ont marqué son enfance, ainsi que sur l'histoire de ces lieux. Son dernier album, Ode to Gerry Barber, a été inspiré par un incendie et est né pendant la pandémie. Il regorge d'éléments qui ne figurent pas toujours dans les livres d'histoire : c'est un album sincère sur la communauté, les difficultés et les histoires perdues. D'une chanson à l'autre, les styles musicaux de Paul vont du folk traditionnel aux ballades jazzy en passant par la pop aux accents country : on ne sait jamais ce qui va suivre. Ses compositions combinent la franchise émotionnelle de Bruce Springsteen, les chansons à thème local de Stompin' Tom et les sagas historiques de Gordon Lightfoot.
