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.

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.

Early Years
Uwe Kruger was born in Germany in 1961, followed by his brother Jens in 1962. The family moved to Switzerland, where music was a central part of their daily life. From an early age, the brothers played guitar and other instruments. Influenced by artists like Chet Atkins, Doc Watson, and Bill Monroe, they performed their first public show in 1973.​
Teenage Years
After their mother’s passing in 1974, they moved to Zürich and formed a skiffle band. By the age of 12, Jens was already playing banjo with various bands. In 1976, they discovered Strictly Instrumental by Flatt & Scruggs, which inspired them to focus on bluegrass. In 1979, they became traveling street musicians across Europe and later formed the band Rocky Road with the Galfano Brothers. CBS Records signed them in 1981. However, musical differences led them to split in 1982—Uwe pursued country music, while Jens moved to the U.S., where he performed with bluegrass legend Bill Monroe before returning to Switzerland.
​Reuniting
In 1987, Uwe and Jens reunited and formed Appalachian Barn Orchestra, blending bluegrass with European influences. Their music gained popularity, and in 1990, bassist Joel Landsberg joined, marking the transition to The Kruger Brothers. They hosted a live radio show on Swiss National Radio and toured extensively, performing over 250 shows per year. Their reputation grew across Europe, and they became known for their virtuosic musicianship and unique sound. By 1995, they decided to dedicate themselves entirely to The Kruger Brothers, canceling other commitments and founding their own recording studio to produce and release their music independently.
​Back in the USA
In 1997 Uwe, Jens, and Joel were invited to play at MerleFest in North Carolina. They were so well received in their festival debut, that MerleFest has invited the Kruger Brothers back to the festival every year since. Notlong after MerleFest, Kruger Brothers management organized extensive tours throughout the US beginning in the fall of 1997.
After five years of playing almost six month out of the year in the US, it was time tomake the decision to either abandon the US market or relocate the entire Kruger Brothers organization to the US.
In 2003 Uwe, Jens, and Joel moved their business and their families to North Carolina. The Kruger Brothers have since released more than twenty-five CD's on their own label.They have performed with numerous symphony orchestras, string ensembles, andguest musicians on their extensive touring schedule throughout the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia.
The Kruger Brothers are members of the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame, the Wilkes County Hall of Fame, the International Banjo Hall of Fame, as well as the American Folk Music Hall of Fame.Both Uwe and Jens are honorary citizens of North Carolina and Calgary,Canada.
​The Kruger Brothers have received numerous awards including the Steve Martin Prize for excellence in banjo and bluegrass, several IBMA nominations, PrixVallo and many more...
The Kruger Brothers are a true staple of the American music scene and continue to bring excellence to audiences worldwide.

Premières années
Uwe Kruger est né en Allemagne en 1961, suivi de son frère Jens en 1962. La famille s'installe en Suisse, où la musique fait partie intégrante de la vie quotidienne. Dès leur plus jeune âge, les frères jouent de la guitare et d'autres instruments. Influencés par des artistes comme Chet Atkins, Doc Watson et Bill Monroe, ils se produisent pour la première fois en public en 1973.
Adolescence
Après le décès de leur mère en 1974, ils déménagent à Zurich et forment un groupe de skiffle. À l'âge de 12 ans, Jens jouait déjà du banjo avec différents groupes. En 1976, ils découvrent Strictly Instrumental de Flatt & Scruggs, qui les incite à se concentrer sur le bluegrass. En 1979, ils deviennent musiciens de rue itinérants à travers l'Europe et forment plus tard le groupe Rocky Road avec les Galfano Brothers. CBS Records les signe en 1981. Cependant, des divergences musicales les ont amenés à se séparer en 1982 : Uwe s'est lancé dans la musique country, tandis que Jens est parti aux États-Unis, où il s'est produit avec la légende du bluegrass, Bill Monroe, avant de rentrer en Suisse.
Réunification
En 1987, Uwe et Jens se réunissent et forment l'Appalachian Barn Orchestra, mêlant le bluegrass à des influences européennes. Leur musique gagne en popularité et, en 1990, le bassiste Joel Landsberg les rejoint, marquant la transition vers The Kruger Brothers. Ils animent une émission de radio en direct sur la Radio nationale suisse et partent en tournée, donnant plus de 250 concerts par an. Leur réputation grandit dans toute l'Europe, et ils se font connaître pour leur virtuosité musicale et leur son unique. En 1995, ils décident de se consacrer entièrement aux Kruger Brothers, annulant d'autres engagements et fondant leur propre studio d'enregistrement pour produire et publier leur musique de manière indépendante.
Back in the USA
En 1997, Uwe, Jens et Joel ont été invités à jouer au MerleFest en Caroline du Nord. Ils ont été si bien accueillis lors de leurs débuts au festival que le MerleFest a invité les Kruger Brothers à revenir chaque année depuis. Peu de temps après le MerleFest, le management des Kruger Brothers a organisé de vastes tournées à travers les États-Unis à partir de l'automne 1997.
Après cinq années passées à jouer presque six mois par an aux États-Unis, il était temps de prendre la décision soit d'abandonner le marché américain, soit de relocaliser toute l'organisation des Kruger Brothers aux États-Unis.
En 2003, Uwe, Jens et Joel ont déménagé leur entreprise et leurs familles en Caroline du Nord. Ils se sont produits avec de nombreux orchestres symphoniques, ensembles à cordes et musiciens invités lors de leurs nombreuses tournées à travers les États-Unis, le Canada, l'Europe et l'Australie.
Les frères Kruger sont membres du Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame, du Wilkes County Hall of Fame, de l'International Banjo Hall of Fame et de l'American Folk Music Hall of Fame. Uwe et Jens sont tous deux citoyens d'honneur de la Caroline du Nord et de Calgary, au Canada.
Les frères Kruger ont reçu de nombreuses récompenses, dont le prix Steve Martin pour l'excellence dans le domaine du banjo et du bluegrass, plusieurs nominations à l'IBMA, le prix Vallo et bien d'autres encore...
Les frères Kruger sont un véritable pilier de la scène musicale américaine et continuent d'apporter l'excellence au public du monde entier.

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.

BullyBullyMaas Theater en Dance, Pays-BasAnglais | 4-8 ans | 40 minutes
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.

A moving and hilarious story about an ordinary day in a bench’s lifeIt’s so mundane, the bench, and yet so magical! It stands everywhere in cities, parks and gardens, like an open invitation. Sometimes the bench’s visitors merely brush each other, at other times it evolves.
An elderly lady does everything she can to keep life at bay – from her bench. But the hectic surroundings take her by surprise. If only they could let her be old and grouchy alone! But the boy is skateboarding, the dog is sniffing and scuttling around, the birds are chirping, and a friendly, elderly gentleman wants to read his newspaper. All of this is a nuisance!

Les rues et les parcs de toutes les villes ont des bancs qui invitent les passants à s’y asseoir et à partager leurs histoires.
Une femme s’assoit sur un banc pour y trouver paix et quiétude, mais rencontre des passants qui ont d’autres plans. Avec des marionnettes superbement détaillées, la pièce loue la simplicité de la vie quotidienne.
Cette histoire touchante et drôle raconte une journée ordinaire dans la vie d’un banc. Un banc, c’est si banal, et pourtant c’est très magique! On en voit partout dans les villes, les parcs et les jardins. Ce sont de véritables invitations. Parfois, les visiteurs d’un banc ne font que se frôler, parfois leur rencontre évolue.
Une femme âgée fait tout ce qu’elle peut pour éloigner la vie, du moins de son banc. Mais son environnement mouvementé la prend par surprise. Si seulement les autres pouvaient la laisser être vieille et grognonne seule! Un garçon passe sur une planche à roulettes, un chien renifle en trottant à toute vitesse, les oiseaux gazouillent et un amical vieil homme veut lire son journal. Tout cela lui tombe sur les nerfs!

A Show With Strings

 * Please note that this is NOT an all ages show, as some material may be inappropriate for young listeners.
This show will consist of two 50 minute sets with 30 minute intermission / meet & greet. Both sets will feature three stories, each ending with a rendition of that artists music by Jesse Greene.  
Richard Flohil has spent the last 60 years in the Canadian music business as a writer, concert promoter, band manager (and road manager), publicist, venue booker, folk and blues festival artistic director, and television talent coordinator. He goes to hear live music in clubs and at concerts regularly — he was at 126 music events last year. 
The only thing he’s not done is sing, play and instrument, or dance; he leaves that to people with superb musical talent, like Jesse Greene 
 Neither has he produced a record, though he’s sat in at almost two dozen recording sessions. As a concert promoter, he’s presented artists as diverse as B.B. King, Stompin’ Tom, Solomon Burke, Miles Davis, Rambling Jack Elliott, Muddy Waters, Benny Goodman, Ray Charles, The Chieftains, Leon Redbone, Mary Gauthier and dozens more. 
As a speaker, he has keynoted music conferences at several folk and blues conventions. 
As a publicist, helping artists become better known, his clients have included the Downchild Blues Band, Loreena McKennitt, k.d. lang, the Mariposa Folk Festival, Serena Ryder, Shakura S’Aida, Nana Mouskouri and many, many others. He has also worked with comedians Billy Connolly and Eric Idle and “stars” such as David Crosby, Alice Cooper and Beatles producer George Martin. 
For two years, he’s been writing pieces about all these people — and many others — on Substack, an online platform that allows writers to upload their article so subscribers can read them. He has more than 1,000 readers; his column is called “Stories From the Edge of Music." 
Because he can’t play music, the gods gave him the gift of talking about music. His stories are (he hopes) entertaining, informative, funny and even inspiring.

Polar Bear and Penguin


Waking up at ungodly hours would kick the shit out of most of us. But if you’re Leeroy Stagger, you breathe. You pick up a guitar. And you greet the coming dawn with words, music, and grace.
“Most of these songs were composed in the wee hours of a new day. The witching hours, you could call them. Where my mind is active and there’s a peace and spirit I embrace in the quiet of life.”
That liminal space is exactly what Stagger would call his 3 AM Revelations—and there could be no better title for his 13th full recording. For it’s in that sacred and moonlit window that brought forth his strongest, most passionate songwriting to date.
In these musical revelations—recorded in Stagger’s new Victoria home studio made of “beautiful rough-cut wood”—we hear gratitude, struggle, rebel rousing, balladry, compassion, and humour. We go to worlds as small as the back of lousy Dodge Dart, and worlds as vast as the Alberta Skies and as ethereal as human connection.
“This is a record of the human spirit. Of suffering and joy. Of heroes and everyday stories. And of addiction and redemption.”
Similar to like-minded songwriters as Jason Isbell and Steve Earle, Leeroy Stagger uses his long-term sobriety for muse, muscle, and music. Take the recovery song “These Days”, which still yearns for a greater meaning, even after 16 years of sobriety.
“The song is a reminder to myself to find the humanity in my interactions. To meet my fears with more love. That I have to work very hard to transcend that world that lives inside of me.”
Stagger easily shifts to raucous singalong songs that stick in your head like chewing gum. Tunes like “Count To Ten” ( a collaboration with Dennis Ellsworth), “Mediocrity Pill” (co-written with Jay Malinowski), and “Watermelon Pink” were born out of one manager’s challenge to deliver hooky-as-hell rockers to compliment his more contemplative tunes.
“She wanted more “bangers”. And so I banged on. I’m always one to prove someone wrong, so I rolled up my sleeves, and wrote those songs, which was a cathartic, cosmic blast.”
3 AM Revelations is the result of what Stagger calls his “third attempt” at making this record, meaning his listeners can look forward to two more collections in the can. And if 3 AM is three times the charm, as well as the bewitching hour in which to write beautiful music, Leeroy Stagger has tapped into something remarkably moving.
“That’s what I wanted this record to feel like—like riding a wave. And hold on, because we don’t know what’s coming next. It’s a chance to climb up the mountain and have a look around to decide if we like what we see. In the end, we hang on tight or loosen our grip a little. Either way, it’s gonna be OK.”

Leeroy Stagger

LeVolume is glitterfolk.

Join us for an evening  of Celtic Music played by some of the best in the region. There will be a concert from 8pm to 10pm, with a jam to follow, so bring your instruments and get in on the fun.

 
The flute and harp duo of sheila&lucile opens a new window to the traditions of Celtic music – old and new.
With the warm, dark voice of the Irish wooden flute combined with the subtle and intriguing versatility of the lever harp, the duo enjoy exploring the palette of colours found between and within their instruments. Their original arrangements of familiar and new music create a unique sound that is at once mesmerizing and energizing.
Sheila and Lucile's individual musical journeys have seen them performing in small and large ensembles; at festivals in the US, in orchestras in Europe and Canada, for ceilis in Ireland, as well as for dances and concerts here at home in Ottawa.
The energy and warmth sheila&lucile bring to their live performances can also be heard on their albums, Golden Hills and When Winter Comes, and on various streaming platforms. 

 
 

Celtic Celebration Featuring sheila&lucile

Jason Mercer and I have 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 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 some new ones that have yet to be heard.
For this tour we’ll be joined by our special guest Piner, namely their lead singer and guitarist, Claya Way Brackenbury. Claya will kick off every night of this tour with her beautiful socially conscious music and as a bonus, she’ll join NoElectric for a few songs. We honestly can’t wait. See you soon Ontario!

From harmonica to baritone guitar, from frontman to producer, Steve Marriner has spent over two decades shaping the sound of modern blues. With two JUNO Awards for his work with MonkeyJunk, a career spent touring with Colin James, and guest appearances with bona fide blues legends Buddy Guy and Jimmie Vaughan, Marriner has become one of Canada’s most versatile and respected musicians. 
Marriner’s approach to blending blues, rock, and roots music has made him a sought-after collaborator and a formidable solo artist. His previous album, Hope Dies Last, earned a 2022 JUNO nomination, and his production work on Big Dave McLean’s This Old Life won  him yet another award at the 2025 JUNOs. With Hear My Heart, his upcoming full-length album, Marriner continues to push boundaries, proving that the blues isn’t just tradition—it’s alive, electric, and constantly evolving.

Harry Manx has spent years fusing eastern musical traditions with the blues, switching effortlessly between conventional guitars, harmonica, and banjo and the decidedly different Mohan veena, a 20-stringed instrument invented by Manx’ Indian mentor Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Manx is often referred to as the “Mysticssippi” Blues Man, because of his expertise in melding both East and West music together and therefore, “creating musical short stories that wed the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas”.
Over the last 10 years, Harry Manx released 11 Albums and has garnered a room full of awards including, “seven Maple Blues Awards, six Juno nominations, the Canadian Folk Award in 2005 for Best Solo Artist and won CBC Radio’s “Great Canadian Blues Award” in 2007″. His most recent accomplishment was receiving yet another Juno Nomination for “Blues Album of the Year”, for his release, “Bread and Buddha” in 2010.
