MOLLYS REACH

Mollys Reach is a band from Edmonton.

SHORT OF ABLE

Formed in 2007, Short of Able is a product of the Edmonton indie music scene. Its members – Justin Wisser (vocals/guitar), Devin Phillips (guitar), James Rutherford (bass), and Colin Ouellette (percussion) – fell together through a mutual addiction to live music. Though the band is influenced by many artists, Short of Able has developed its own brand of acoustic folk-pop rock that is less definable than many bands.

MEDICAL PILOT

Medical Pilot is an explosive, guitar driven alternative rock band. With stellar riffs, brilliant melodies, and an engaging stage presence, Medical Pilot exemplifies the exact kind of band that you want to go out and see!

WARES

Falling through a trapdoor into a desolate pit, the lively and enchanting Wares takes singer-songwriter Cassia Hardy to her own new and interesting level. Electric guitar drips like candle wax around Wares' quivering, sincere vocals. Drenched in a haunted desperation, Wares' poetry—her rises and falls—act as a perfect stepladder into the light.

THE DENIM DADDIES

Born out of a drink at a dive bar in Edmonton, Alberta, The Denim Daddies are a shot of the ol’ outlaws attitude mixed with the modernism of alt-country and a splash of the Nashville sound, all glassed in the classic sound of a traditional 3 piece band. Their songwriting blends politically and socially charged themes with simple, down to earth lyrics, which are layered atop intense and intricate parts with tight vocal harmonies and a rippin' rhythm section. Blurring the lines between country and rock these dance floor troubadours are embracing the resurgence and new sound of modern country music. From dirty cowboy bars, to hipster juke joints, to sweaty basements, The Denim Daddies appeal to every country music stereotype.

THE NEW HAUNTS

The New Haunts are an unconventional mix of guitar riffs, ambient textures, catchy melodies, and detailed drumming. Their efforts produce music that is truly original, combining influences from each member’s eclectic tastes and musicalities. The music is honest, inventive, and attempts to connect with the listener on a thoughtful and emotional level.
