From the Promoter

ELYSE SAUNDERS

Toronto based country recording artist, Elyse Saunders, is an indie artist with incredible drive that knows how to bring "the life of the party" to her show with lively, compelling performances. Featured in the Toronto Sun as being a Country singer “well on her way”, Elyse is truly on her way with impressive accomplishments to show for it. After penning with some of Nashville's greats as well as Ontario's own, Elyse received the support of FACTOR and recorded her most recent album "I'm On My Way" with three-time CCMA/JUNO award winner Joel Feeney at Toronto's acclaimed Orange Lounge Studio (Justin Bieber, Amy Winehouse, Sam Hunt, Paul Brandt & more). Saunders has opened for Jason Blaine, toured the East Coast preceding the Canadian Country Music Awards in 2015, co-hosted an "In The Country" CCMA green carpet webisode in 2016 and most recently has been a part of song "Rise" a project in support of celebrating Equestrian Pan AM/Olympian medalist Jessica Phoenix with a performance in L.A during this year's ESPY awards. Elyse Saunders is definitely an artist for you to follow.

RIVER LYNCH AND THE SPIRITMAKERS

River Lynch and The Spiritmakers music has been described as wonderfully rich, bluesy, hook filled rock n' roll. A tasteful mix of the rock & roll vibes of Tom Petty, with a modern edge comparable at times, to the Alabama Shakes. River and his band set out every night to wake the spirits of the past and remind people of the power of rock n' roll music.

BRITTANY BRODIE

Brittany has been chasing this same Dream since she was a little girl. Steadily releasing Singles to Country Radio of which she co-wrote and co-produced.FYI Music News Says"We have not heard pipes like hers since Shania hooked up with Mutt Lange". Nominated in Best Country category at the Toronto Indie Music Awards. Performed a Showcase during CCMA Week in Halifax last year and London this September. Her song Phoenix was the feature song for an Anti-Bullying Campaign in Australia. Back and forth from Nashville very frequently writing, networking, performing. Just performed during the IPM in September which gets over 100,000 people.

BUCK TWENTY

Mike Ure and Aidan Johnson-Bujold are a singer/songwriter duo from small town Harrow, ON. The two combine their distinct voices to create a trademark blend that listeners will immediately recognize as Buck Twenty.
The boys take pride in the musical presentation of their live show and most definitely aren’t afraid to bring a surplus of feel good energy to the stage. Mike and Aidan have been recently nominated for the 2017 Country Music Association of Ontario’s “Rising Star” award and the groups energetic performance was a highlight of the 2017 Canadian Music Week Country Showcase and also at the 2017 Trackside Music Festival.

MATT YORK

The Boston Herald says of Matt York’s new album Boston, Texas that ”the singer-songwriter uses basic building blocks — Holly’s chords, Hank Williams’ swagger, Steve Earle’s boozy wisdom, Paul Westerberg’s straight-up-drunk wisdom — to construct an album of beauty, optimism and heartbreak”. Matt's new album explores a cross-section of everything from straight-up rock n roll to hints of outlaw country. His music has been featured on radio stations throughout the world.

WAITING FOR HENRY

Waiting For Henry debutted in 2013 with their album "Ghosts & Compromise." A D.I.Y. project, originally made just to give to friends, the release took off organically at Americana blogs and radio on both sides of the Atlantic. Alternate Root named it a 2013 Top 20 pick and Huffington Post called it "timeless." Their 2016 album "Town Called Patience," produced by R.E.M. guru Mitch Easter, was called a "masterwork" by No Depression and landed in heavy rotation on Sirius/XM's The Loft, where PD Mike Marrone called WFH "one of his new favorite bands." Later this year, the band is returning to the studio to record an E.P. with Replacements' bassist and Bash & Pop frontman, Tommy Stinson. While the band's songwriting and sound it wholly its own, reviews have noted comparisons to R.E.M., Blue Rodeo, Wilco and The Jayhawks (... and no on in the band is complaining!). So if you like your music pretty but gritty... c'mon down!
