Featuring a blend of acoustic instruments, rural soundscapes, and wistful vocals, Great Lake Swimmers are a critically acclaimed indie-folk group led by songwriter/vocalist Tony Dekker. Based in Toronto, Ontario, the group emerged in the early 2000s with a succession of heavily atmospheric albums recorded in old silos and rural country churches. The music developed in that pastoral warmth, performed and recorded in acoustically unique and historical locales with a revolving cast of personnel. They are renowned for their homespun folk and lush, intimate Americana in their live set.
Great Lake Swimmers celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2023 with “Uncertain Country,” an album where doubts are followed by discovery, demos end up as finished tracks, and themes of new beginnings, rear-view reflections, and ruminations on the fluidity of time form the basis of the eleven new songs.
It follows a prolonged period of collective anxiety. Recorded in different locales—and with a variety of musicians—a theme of questioning runs throughout. Even before the world turned upside down, Dekker felt mired in uncertainty: from the climate crisis to the ever-changing political landscape. The “uncertain country” chosen as the album’s theme is not a specific place. Rather, it’s a territory we, as humans, inhabit in the 21st century — a world that, more often than not, is confusing, unfamiliar and unsettling.
“Moonlight, Stay Above” epitomizes what Great Lake Swimmers represents. A 10-voice strong women’s choir (Niagara's Minuscule) lifts the lonely-sounding and wistful song up. As with that addition, the band on each album is fluid and always evolving.
Great Lake Swimmers were shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and nominated twice for Canada’s Juno Awards, with the CBC calling them “a national treasure.”

Avec un mélange d'instruments acoustiques, de paysages sonores ruraux et de voix mélancoliques, Great Lake Swimmers est un groupe indie-folk acclamé par la critique et dirigé par l'auteur-compositeur-interprète Tony Dekker. Basé à Toronto, en Ontario, le groupe a émergé au début des années 2000 avec une succession d'albums très atmosphériques enregistrés dans de vieux silos et des églises de campagne. La musique s'est développée dans cette chaleur pastorale, jouée et enregistrée dans des lieux historiques à l'acoustique unique, avec un personnel changeant. Le groupe est réputé pour sa musique folk et son Americana luxuriante et intime sur scène.
Les Great Lake Swimmers célèbrent leur 20e anniversaire en 2023 avec « Uncertain Country », un album où les doutes sont suivis de découvertes, où les démos finissent par devenir des morceaux finis, et où les thèmes des nouveaux départs, des réflexions rétrospectives et des ruminations sur la fluidité du temps forment la base des onze nouvelles chansons.
Il fait suite à une longue période d'anxiété collective. Enregistré dans différents lieux et avec une variété de musiciens, le thème de la remise en question est omniprésent. Même avant que le monde ne bascule, Dekker se sentait plongé dans l'incertitude, qu'il s'agisse de la crise climatique ou du paysage politique en constante évolution. Le « pays incertain » choisi comme thème de l'album n'est pas un lieu spécifique. Il s'agit plutôt d'un territoire que nous habitons, en tant qu'humains, au XXIe siècle - un monde qui, le plus souvent, est déroutant, peu familier et inquiétant.
La chanson « Moonlight, Stay Above » incarne parfaitement ce que représentent les Great Lake Swimmers. Un chœur de femmes à dix voix (Niagara's Minuscule) élève cette chanson solitaire et mélancolique. Comme pour cet ajout, le groupe de chaque album est fluide et en constante évolution.
Great Lake Swimmers a été sélectionné pour le prestigieux prix de musique Polaris et nommé deux fois pour les prix Juno du Canada.

Aleksi grew up on stage. At five years old, he began performing alongside his mother, Canadian folk icon, Connie Kaldor. At nineteen, Aleksi moved to Paris to study under Jazz-violin legend Didier Lockwood. At twenty-one, Aleksi became the only student to have ever been accepted into the classical violin, the jazz violin and the jazz voice performance programs at McGill University. And, by twenty-five, with only a six-song EP, Aleksi graced the lineups of some of the most competitive folk festivals across Canada for three consecutive years - including the Regina, Canmore, and Bear Creek Folk Festivals.
Most recently, Aleksi received both a Canada Council Grant and a FACTOR Grant to fully fund the recording and production of his highly-anticipated 10-song debut album For the Giving, launching fall 2023. Still based out of his hometown of Montreal, Aleksi floors audiences by singing while bowing his violin and seamlessly navigating songs in English and in French. His original music blends folk songwriting with an edgy, multi-layered sound resulting from his unique combination of voice, violin, and looping-effect pedals.

Aleksi a grandi sur scène. À l'âge de cinq ans, il commence à se produire aux côtés de sa mère, Connie Kaldor, icône du folklore canadien. À dix-neuf ans, Aleksi s'installe à Paris pour étudier avec la légende du violon jazz Didier Lockwood. À vingt et un ans, Aleksi devient le seul étudiant à avoir été accepté dans les programmes de violon classique, de violon jazz et de voix jazz de l'Université McGill. Et à vingt-cinq ans, avec seulement un EP de six chansons, Aleksi a fait partie de la programmation de certains des festivals folk les plus compétitifs du Canada pendant trois années consécutives - y compris les festivals folk de Regina, de Canmore et de Bear Creek.
Plus récemment, Aleksi a reçu une subvention du Conseil des Arts du Canada et une subvention de FACTOR pour financer entièrement l'enregistrement et la production de son très attendu premier album de 10 chansons, For the Giving, qui sera lancé à l'automne 2023. Toujours basé à Montréal, sa ville natale, Aleksi surprend le public en chantant tout en jouant de l'archet avec son violon et en interprétant des chansons en anglais et en français. Sa musique originale allie l'écriture de chansons folk à un son nerveux et multicouche résultant de sa combinaison unique de voix, de violon et de pédales d'effets de boucle.

Ball and Chain & The Wreckers are an Ottawa based band with Michael Ball and Jody Benjamin as the shackles holding this group together. Michael and Jody have been making frequent trips to Louisiana since 1997 and the music from Southwest Louisiana and its cultural context continues to fascinate them.
They play a mixture of original and cover tunes leaning towards the earlier country that still sounded like country. Some of their favourites are Hank Williams, George Jones, Roger Miller and Webb Pierce.

With fourteen albums to his credit, Dave Gunning’s remarkable body of work marks him as a true luminary in the Canadian folk music scene. Dave’s musical roots took hold in his teenage years, deeply inspired by legends like Stan Rogers and Gordon Lightfoot. His music is characterized by its storytelling and melodic sincerity, often highlighting the lives of underdogs and tackling significant social and environmental issues. Gunning has never needed to look far beyond his Pictou County, Nova Scotia backyard for inspiration. That’s where the characters live. That’s where the stories come from
In many ways, the ensuing awards and accolades speak for themselves: ten East Coast Music Awards, two Canadian Folk Music Awards, four Music Nova Scotia Awards, and a Juno Award nomination for his tribute album to the late John Allan Cameron. As one reviewer aptly noted, “Gunning’s ability to blend humor with poignancy makes his performances unforgettable.” This blend is evident in his live shows, where his engaging banter and self-effacing humor create a warm, intimate atmosphere. His journey from Pictou County, Nova Scotia, to stages worldwide is a testament to his talent, hard work, and dedication to his craft.
In 2022, Gunning released The Same Storm, an album written and recorded during the pandemic. It continues his tradition of celebrating everyday moments, lending a voice to the overlooked, and looking forward to the stories yet to come.

Avec quatorze albums à son actif, l'œuvre remarquable de Dave Gunning fait de lui une véritable sommité de la scène folklorique canadienne. Les racines musicales de Dave se sont affirmées dès l'adolescence, profondément inspirées par des légendes telles que Stan Rogers et Gordon Lightfoot. Sa musique se caractérise par sa narration et sa sincérité mélodique, mettant souvent en lumière la vie des laissés-pour-compte et s'attaquant à d'importantes questions sociales et environnementales. M. Gunning n'a jamais eu besoin de chercher l'inspiration bien au-delà de son comté de Pictou, en Nouvelle-Écosse. C'est là que vivent les personnages. C'est de là que viennent les histoires
À bien des égards, les prix et les distinctions qui ont suivi parlent d'eux-mêmes : dix East Coast Music Awards, deux Canadian Folk Music Awards, quatre Music Nova Scotia Awards et une nomination aux Juno Awards pour son album en hommage au regretté John Allan Cameron. Comme l'a souligné avec justesse un critique, « la capacité de Gunning à mêler humour et émotion rend ses spectacles inoubliables ». Ce mélange est évident dans ses spectacles, où ses plaisanteries engageantes et son humour effacé créent une atmosphère chaleureuse et intime. Son parcours depuis le comté de Pictou, en Nouvelle-Écosse, jusqu'aux scènes du monde entier témoigne de son talent, de son travail acharné et de son dévouement à son métier.
En 2022, Gunning a sorti The Same Storm, un album écrit et enregistré pendant la pandémie. Il poursuit sa tradition de célébrer les moments de la vie quotidienne, de donner une voix à ceux qui sont négligés et d'attendre avec impatience les histoires à venir.

Avec une voix « aussi puissante qu'un train de marchandises », l'auteur-compositeur-interprète métis Joe H. Henry souffle les flammes d'une musique roots américaine grinçante avec une bonne dose de soul.
Connu pour ses textes réfléchis, sa façon de raconter des histoires et sa capacité innée à communiquer avec des auditoires de tous les horizons, Joe H. Henry puise son inspiration dans les expériences qu'il a vécues depuis qu'il était un jeune sans-abri à bord d'un train jusqu'à ce qu'il soit le père de cinq enfants, et on peut le sentir dans chaque ligne qu'il chante.
Nommé « l'une des nouvelles lumières les plus brillantes de la scène musicale de la côte Est » (Troy Greencorn - directeur exécutif, Stan Rogers Folk Festival), Joe a lancé son premier EP « Keep the Fire Burning » à l'été 2023, ce qui lui a valu des nominations pour l'enregistrement blues de l'année 2024 (ECMA) et l'enregistrement americana de l'année 2024 (Nova Scotia Music Awards), ainsi que pour l'artiste autochtone de l'année.

2025 International Acoustic Music Award Winner Robert Thomas has crafted songs for legends including, Kenny Rogers, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker and the Dixie Chicks. As a staff writer for music publishing, Thomas was tasked with writing hits and his diverse repertoire reflects that. He writes songs we can all connect with - memorable sing along melodies, clever, ear friendly lyrics couched in a wide-ranging array of rhythms - all introduced with a captivating, often humorous, repartee that is a throwback to the story telling era of Mark Twain, Garrison Keillor and Stuart Maclean.  Accompanied on fiddle, mandolin, guitar, keyboards and percussion by the legendary “sessionmen” - Ray Legere and Jon Arsenault - whose credits in their own right include, Alison Krauss, Rita MacNeil, Doc Watson, Tony Rice and The Chieftains - Thomas delivers beautiful and energetic Folk/Americana mixed with a touch of Bluegrass that has captivated audiences across North America and Europe, and garnered Entertainer of the Year and multiple songwriter nominations from the East Coast Music Association. 
 
One sentence from Rodney Crowell sums up the artistry of Robert Thomas and the sessionmen - “These boys know what they’re doing.”

Celebrated Canadian Paralympic athlete writes autobiographyTORONTO, October 16, 2024 –
Yorkland Publishing today announced the upcoming publication of Jason Dunkerley’s Visions of Hope: Running Towards My Own Truth, an autobiography of an iconic blind Canadian middle-distance runner who won five Paralympic medals and numerous other laurels during his storied career. In telling his story, Dunkerley introduces the reader to the behind-the-scenes intricacies of top-tier athletics: the rigours of intensive training; the building of rapport among athlete, guide and coach; the development and implementation of winning strategies; the never-ending struggle to excel; the searing letdown of defeat, and the euphoric triumph of victory.

Architects of Air Arborialis luminarium is an encounter with the phenomenon of light. An encounter that is beautiful in its simplicity, which can nevertheless be profound in its effect. Once inside, visitors are immersed into a world of shifting subtle and saturated hues where they may wander, sit down, and lose themselves in sensory bliss - awakening the senses.
Arborialis has the natural world for inspiration and is designed to echo aspects of being lost in a forest – there are radiant canopies of leaves that stretch overhead, there are vibrant tree trunks rising from the ground beneath.
The visual world of Arborialis is enhanced by the natural and spiritual sounds of the Song of Danu created by Irish composer Dr Michael Morris.
 
Accessible to wheelchair users and people with mobility difficulties.Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult (minimum 1:4 ratio).Shoes and bags must be removed before entry.

Architects of Air Arborialis luminarium est une rencontre avec le phénomène de la lumière. Une rencontre belle dans sa simplicité, mais dont l'effet peut être profond. Une fois à l'intérieur, les visiteurs sont immergés dans un monde de teintes changeantes, subtiles et saturées, où ils peuvent se promener, s'asseoir et se perdre dans un bonheur sensoriel - l'éveil des sens.
Arborialis s'inspire du monde naturel et est conçu pour faire écho à la sensation d'être perdu dans une forêt - des voûtes de feuilles rayonnantes s'étendent au-dessus de la tête, des troncs d'arbres vibrants s'élèvent du sol.
Le monde visuel d'Arborialis est rehaussé par les sons naturels et spirituels du Chant de Danu, créé par le compositeur irlandais Michael Morris.
 
Accessible aux personnes en fauteuil roulant et aux personnes à mobilité réduite.Les enfants de moins de 13 ans doivent être accompagnés d'un adulte (ratio minimum de 1:4).Les chaussures et les sacs doivent être enlevés avant l'entrée.

In BullyBully two world leaders meet in no man’s land. What follows is an awkward encounter between two childish yet powerful adults who gradually get used to each other and eventually learn to meet in the middle.

Quel point commun lie un très jeune enfant et un dirigeant mondial moyen? Certains présidents font-ils des crises dans les allées des supermarchés? Ou crient-ils furieusement jusqu’à ce qu’ils obtiennent ce qu’ils veulent?
Dans BullyBully, deux chefs d’État se rencontrent en terrain neutre. Il s’ensuit une rencontre maladroite entre deux puissants adultes immatures, qui s’habituent progressivement l’un à l’autre et finissent par apprendre à s’entendre.
Dans cette comédie musicale déjantée, des hommes adultes et immatures prennent part à des querelles amusantes, chantent et se chamaillent un peu. Et il en ressort une fin heureuse.

Mercredi 25 juin 2025 19 h | Studio Azrieli, Centre national des Arts
 
Declared “the coolest rock star in the world right now,” by UNCUT magazine, Arooj Aftab has earned her position at the vanguard of creative music for her embrace of risk and nonconformity. In 2024, she released her fourth solo album, Night Reign (Verve), to universal acclaim, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Jazz Album, while the song “Raat Ki Rani” was tabbed for Best Global Music Performance.The album expands on the musical universe Aftab has created over the years. Night Reign features an all-star cast of musicians (Cautious Clay, Vijay Iyer, Elvis Costello, James Franceis, Moor Mother, Joel Ross), united beneath the steady, brilliant hand of the queen of the night. As put by the Wall Street Journal, “[Night Reign’s] beauty is self-evident, and it stands on its own” which helps explain its inclusion across so many Best of 2024 album lists.Night Reign’s predecessor, Vulture Prince, ushered Aftab into the cultural zeitgeist, including a place on President Barack Obama’s Summer 2021 playlist. Recognition for the record propelled her to a Best New Artist Grammy nomination in 2022 and a win for the song “Mohabbat.” The following year she collaborated with Vijay Iyer and Shahzad Ismaily on a “masterclass in space,” the improvisational Love in Exile (Verve 2023), also Grammy nominated and winner of a 2023 Edison Jazz award.Aftab spent her adolescent years in Lahore, Pakistan, the birthplace of her music-loving parents. Her viral cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” at age 18 aided in her passage to study jazz at Berklee College of Music in Boston, while Brooklyn, New York would be her next and most fertile workshop for creation of her genre-defying music.Over the last few years, she has delivered “rapturous performances” at major venues and international festivals including Primavera, Glastonbury, Coachella, Le Guess Who? (which she curated), and both Newport and Montreal Jazz. She has appeared on NPR’s Tiny Desk, Later with Jools Holland, Brodie and Mahogany sessions. Aftab has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Financial Times, The Quietus, and Time, to name a few. She is a 2023 United States Artists Fellow and recipient of the Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Music.

Samedi 28 juin 2025 19 h | Studio Azrieli, Centre national des Arts
 
To a generation of contemporary jazz guitar aficionados, Mike Stern is regarded as one of the true guitar greats of his generation. A player of remarkable facility whose searing lines are informed mainly by bebop and the blues while also carrying a rock-tinged intensity, Stern made his mark with Miles Davis in the early ‘80s before launching his solo career in 1985. Since then he has released 18 recordings as a leader, six of which were nominated for GRAMMY® Awards. In support of his latest album, Echoes and Other Songs (Artistry/Mack Avenue), Mike hits the stage with Dennis Chambers (drums), Bob Franceschini (sax), Noam Tanzer (bass), and Leni Stern (guitar, ngoni)

Mike Stern Band - NAC Azrieli Studio - June 28th 2025

Nova Scotia raised, Ottawa based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Malia Rogers has a clear musical mission: be the first person in the room to drop her shield, and in doing so, move others to lower their own.
Her introspective, conversational folk offerings carefully balance melancholy and hope, touching audiences with precise lyricism, warm alto vocals, and gentle wit. 
Joined by vocalist/keyboardist Emma Bayash and producer/guitarist Neil Whitford, Malia will perform her debut EP Chameleon on the eve of its release alongside other treasured originals both old and new. Audiences will enjoy stirring celtic and bluegrass-inspired melodies balancing melancholy & hope, relatable stories about love, grief, and self-discovery, and intricate harmonies supported by fingerstyle guitar and clawhammer banjo.
Alongside her solo practice, Malia’s multi-instrumentalism has made her a fixture in the award-winning folk trio Jessica Pearson & the East Wind, as well as on theatre stages as an actor-musician. Having most recently visited the Red Bird stage as a bandmate to Ian Sherwood, Malia is thrilled to return with her own offerings.
Through song and story, Malia invites you into the corners of her heart the way she would invite you into her family home on the East Coast: put down the heavy bags, stay as long as you need, and take something with you when you go.
