Boreal Live in the Green Sanderson Hall at Hugh's Room, 296 Broadview AvenueShow at 8pm, Doors at 7pm$35+ in advance, $42+at the door
Boreal is a powerhouse trio of Canadian singer-songwriters—Tannis Slimmon, Angie Nussey, and Katherine Wheatley. Their new album, “Winterbirds” (March 2025), has earned them Canadian Folk Music Award nominations for Album of the Year, Ensemble of the Year, and Vocal Group of the Year.
Katherine brings warmth, colour, and rhythm on guitar; Tannis holds the heartbeat on percussion, mandolin, and guitar; and Angie adds rich textures on keyboard. With no designated lead singer, Boreal rotates the spotlight, offering a fresh approach to every song through thoughtful arrangements and harmonies.
Their music weaves three distinct voices—Katherine’s is deep, steady and rooted in earthy folk; Tannis’s is ethereal, improvisational and explores sacred soundscapes; Angie is the emotional, untamed force. When they write and arrange their songs, they take advantage of these differences. The result is a unique sound that's as cohesive as it is surprising.
With roots in Manitoba, Parry Sound, and Sudbury, Ontario, Boreal carries the stories of the places that shaped them, the people who touched their hearts, and the music that uplifts their spirits. 
“I’m rarely speechless… That was so moving — oh, my heavens! Unbelievably beautiful!” — Rob Dutton, The Grand 101.1 FM
“...three wonderful writers in this band, and three beautiful voices…Magical’s the word. I was transported.” — David Francey

GRETA YYZ DECEMBER GUEST LIST 2025

GUEST LIST DEC 5

Welcome to Toronto, a city where skyscrapers touch the sky and breathtaking lake views await! Indulge in the diverse food scene where poutine and sushi become the perfect pair. Take your bravery to new heights at the iconic CN Tower and soak up the vibrant entertainment in downtown.

Bienvenue à Toronto, où la devise non officielle de la ville est "Désolé, pas désolé", alors que les habitants jonglent avec la lutte quotidienne de se précipiter au travail tout en renversant leur café double-double de chez Tim Hortons sur eux-mêmes. Découvrez le phénomène magique de la capacité des Torontoniens à se plaindre à la fois de la chaleur écrasante et du froid glacial dans la même semaine, mettant en valeur leur remarquable talent pour les doléances liées aux conditions météorologiques. Et ne manquez pas le spectacle exaltant de regarder les habitants se livrer à une bataille féroce pour les sièges du tramway, où les coups de coude et les regards assassins font simplement partie du trajet quotidien.
