Fionn (Vancouver) // http://www.fionnband.com

Fionn’s Alanna and Brianne Finn-Morris might be young, but don’t let that fool you. The 20-year-old twins from White Rock, British Columbia, have been singing together for most of their lives, forging folk-pop sound centred around the sort of telepathically tight vocal harmonies that only siblings could deliver. Lyrics that deliver both sharp social commentary and poignantly personal reflections are backed by arrangements that range from lushly orchestrated balladry to boot-stomping roots-rock. At the heart of it all, the intertwined voices of Alanna and Brianne sparkle, singing songs that suggest an old, wise soul dwells behind Fionn’s fresh faces.

 

Travis James (Vancouver) // http://www.travisjamesmusic.net

Vancouver Singer-songwriter Travis James is a restless hearted guitar player searching for meaning amidst the chaos of life. His music is a patchwork of soulful melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and blues infused guitar playing. Travis takes the stage armed with his guitar and a deep “rough around the edge” vocal style that takes you on a journey from beginning to end. His appreciation for the songwriters who set the stage before him like Dylan, Mayer, and Springsteen continue to shape the way he approaches his writing.

Travis James has just released his most recent EP titled "Timeless As The Moon". This EP reflects on the journey he has made in these last 3 years, it focuses on the struggle and beauty of pushing through life and finding hope and purpose in something beyond yourself.  Some of the title tracks from this EP are The Way We Never Say Goodbye, Rainy Days, and Beautiful Friend. 

Travis finished up his First full Canadian tour of 40 shows and has since been featured in several Hallmark films including "The Sweetest Heart" and "All my heart 2". He is also currently back in the studio getting ready to release two more singles.

Robert Connely Farr (Bolton, Mississippi) https://www.robertconnelyfarr.com

Singer-songwriter Robert Connely Farr grew up in the small southern town of Bolton, Mississippi, home town of Charley Patton & The Mississippi Sheiks. Connely currently resides in Vancouver, Canada where he also heads up the alt-country / Southern rockers Mississippi Live & the Dirty Dirty
 
In 2017, Connely met Mississippi blues icon Jimmy “Duck” Holmes in Bentonia, Mississippi, just miles from where Connely grew up. They immediately struck up a friendship & since then, Jimmy has been mentoring Connely in the Bentonia Style of the blues, a style that Holmes learned directly from Skip James, Henry Stuckey & Jack Owens.
 
In early 2018, Connely teamed up with Canadian producer & acclaimed songwriter Leeroy Stagger to record an album of the songs written during this mentorship titled “Dirty South Blues” (Robert Connely Farr & the Rebeltone Boys). Set to release September 2018, Dirty South Blues includes 10 songs, 8 that were written by Farr. ‘Just Jive’, a song that Jimmy “Duck” Holmes wrote in ’81 & was almost lost forever - is a co-write with Robert Connely Farr & Jimmy “Duck” Holmes. Farr also pays homage to the roots of this album by covering Skip James’ ‘Hard Time Killin Floor Blues’. Songs like ‘Magnolia’ & ‘Dirty South Blues’ elude to some of the more controversial elements of the South while ‘Lady Heroin’ is in response to the opioid epidemic Connely witnesses on a daily basis in Vancouver, BC.
