SUMMARY:Graven / Ace of Wands
DESCRIPTION:Graven (Matty McKechnie) is a Nepean, Ontario, Canada-born indie folk musician and songwriter who used to make bedroom rap casettes in his teens under the name “Man Of Steel”. His newest album Simple Complex was mixed by Joel Plaskett and made in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.\nAlways Everything by Graven ( https://graven.bandcamp.com/album/always-everything )\nAce of Wands played their first show in 2017, but the music had been simmering in Lee Rose’s mind for years before that. A classically trained violinist and having played in bands since she was sixteen, Rose started experimenting writing some new songs on her own in 2016. It was during a cross-Canada tour playing violin with Ron Hawkins and The Do Good Assassins, opening for Blue Rodeo, that Rose had a pivotal realization: she wanted to pursue her own musical vision seriously. “It was my first real tour, and it completely blew my mind,” Rose recalls. “It made me realize this is exactly what I wanted to be doing.” With the addition of collaborators Anna Mernieks and Jody Brumell, the final pieces of Ace of Wands came into place. Their chemistry elevated Rose’s music to new heights, infusing it with depth, grit, and an emotional catharsis that had been waiting to be fully realized.\n\n

SUMMARY:Minta & The Brook Trout with Sarah Greene and Paul Kolinski
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss Minta & The Brook Trout (all the way from Lisbon, Portugal) with Sarah Greene and Paul Kolinski! $20/PWYC. \nFrom Lisboa, Portugal, Minta & The Brook Trout make music about everyday things, like breakups and furniture. Minta & The Brook Trout’s songs, which tend to be short, poetic about things prosaic and profound, and good for keeping you company, are — with a few notable exceptions — written by Francisca Cortesão, who has also been known has Minta since releasing the EP You, in 2008.\nAlong with Mariana Ricardo and a talented crew of other Lisboa-based musicians who are collectively known as The Brook Trout — Margarida Campelo, Tomás Sousa (also of You Can’t Win, Charlie Brown) and Afonso Cabral — , Minta has previously released four studio albums: the eponymous Minta & The Brook Trout (2009), fan-favourite Olympia (2012), slow-cooked Slow (2016), with companion EP Row (2017) and a somewhat tumultuous collection of songs called Demolition Derby (2021).\nThe band has released two live albums: Carnide, a concert with guests in 2011, and a collection of versions of beloved songs Out Of Washington State, originally by Kimya Dawson, Mirah, Beck, D+ and Mount Eerie played by Mariana Ricardo and Francisca\nCortesão at a friend’s house in Lisboa.\nMinta & The Brook Trout have played major festivals and small living rooms, from Lisboa to San Francisco, and their music has been released and distributed by independent labels in Portugal, the US and Japan. The band is part of a solid Portuguese scene which includes acts such as Tape Junk, Bruno Pernadas, Monday, Luís Severo or Benjamim.\nminta.me\n

SUMMARY:The River Run! / The Get Alongs & Guests!
DESCRIPTION:Without any pretensions or shiny frills, The Get Alongs celebrate dynamic garage rock with relaxed surf vibes. The band was founded in Toronto in 2017 by brothers Harrison and Rory along with friends Eric and Tristan. Their first jams in the garage revealed that the four connected on an intuitive level, and they quickly released two EPs – ‘Good Morning’ (2019) and ‘Tossing Stones’ (2020) – to acclaim from the Canadian music press. Influences from alternative rock, new wave, and shoegaze also find their way into the now-eclectic songwriting of The Get Alongs, who – as their name suggests – get along very well with one another. For some, it’s a bittersweet nostalgic sound, while for others, it’s a rejuvenating dose of contemporary indie music with a nod to the tried and true. Either way, on their debut album, ‘Weather Permitting’ (2023), the band show that they can draw on various sources of inspiration to create their own style, all while sounding fully authentic throughout. Their new single, ‘Haunt’ (2025), underscores this with bluesy grooving guitars, dynamic drums, and vocals reminiscent of the great grunge frontpeople of the 90s.\n \nHaunt by The Get Alongs ( https://thegetalongs.bandcamp.com/track/haunt )\n

SUMMARY:Boyhood / Liam Cole / Mara Wild
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss this big night featuring some of our favourite indie rock and pop artists!! Join us for Sunday roast dinner and stay for stellar sets from Boyhood, Liam Cole and Mara Wild! $20/PWYC, 8:30pm til 11pm ~\nWhen Caylie Runciman started calling herself Boyhood, it was a nod to childhood nostalgia. Seven years later, the alias – and the beguiling bedroom anthems – are one and the same. Tough-kid guitar grit and deadpan verses give way to whimsical synth lines and delicate harmonies. But like an off-kilter merry-go-round, or a candy shop in a seedy part of town, there’s a shady layer to Runciman’s perfect pop. Her black magic is raw – equal parts ecstasy and heartbreak. And in among the bright colours, there’s the joy and the pain in knowing what it means to grow up.\nA Grand Time by boyhood ( https://boyhoodsongs.bandcamp.com/track/a-grand-time )\nLiam Cole is a drummer and songwriter from Kingston, Ontario. A remarkably deep and lyrical percussionist, Liam studied jazz performance at Humber College before becoming vibrantly active in the Ontario music community, performing live and on records with Little Kid, Michael Cloud Duguay, Dorothea Paas, Poolblood, HIGHS, Chris Brown & Kate Fenner, and many more.\nWarm Soup At The Big Rain by Liam Cole ( https://lilililili.bandcamp.com/album/warm-soup-at-the-big-rain )\nMara Wild is a project led and produced by tasy hudson. “a moment, they end” features the following artists: ana-maria trudel (baby goodlife) is a filmmaker, director and singer. other projects: having fun productions, baby goodlife. abby black is a drummer, guitarist and audio engineer.\na moment, they end by mara wild ( https://marawild.bandcamp.com/album/a-moment-they-end )\n

SUMMARY:Sophie Ogilvie / Anthea Feaver
DESCRIPTION:Sophie Ogilvie is a singer and songwriter based in Montréal, Quebec. Approaching songwriting with the confessional lyricism of folk and an indie rock penchant for pop song structures, Ogilvie’s sound is set apart by her deft command of the voice. As lead singer of dreampop band Helen Paradise, Ogilvie graced the stage with Lena Platonos, Weaves, and Jaunt, amongst others. Her debut solo EP Coming Up, Crocus (2023) moved fluidly between downtempo, singer-songwriter, and R&B genres, reaching audiences on programs like CBC’s Afterdark with Odario Williams and Breakaway, and Exclaim!’s ‘Eh! List.’ Resignations (January 2025) sees Ogilvie turning darker, balancing harsh guitar tones and rich, sultry vocals. The sophomore EP marks the solidification of Ogilvie’s unique writing and playing style. She will be joined on stage by Sarah Feldman (drums) and Catlin Kuyzk (guitar, bass).\nResignations by Sophie Ogilvie ( https://sophieogilvie.bandcamp.com/album/resignations )\nAnthea Feaver is a songwriter passionate about traditional folk music, a teacher with a degree in community arts education, and an old-time fiddle and banjo player. On stage, she is as likely to sing a bittersweet love song as she is to give a quick history lesson, tell a long-winded joke, or break into an upbeat tune. What shines throughout is her ability to draw people together. Whether at an intimate house concert or on a festival stage, Anthea has her audience singing and laughing along.\n

SUMMARY:Darren Roy Clarke
DESCRIPTION:Warkworth Ontario singer-songwriter Darren Roy Clarke has released his stunning new album “Dirty Face and a Broken Screen”, a collection of modern classic folk songs with intimate vocals that pulls you right into his story: a country dweller, a family man and a tradesman who realized life is too short to not make the art he carries with him deep down.\nA few years ago, a near fatal work site accident while running his own contractor business put things in perspective for Clarke: Life is too short. I need to do what fuels me.\nDarren has gained recognition as a “musician’s musician,” sharing stages with Canadian performers Broken Social Scene, The Sadies, Kerri Ough (Good Lovelies), Tony Dekker (Great Lake Swimmers), and Craig Cardiff.\nHis musical storytelling tackles everything from the worry of living up to a spouse’s expectations, to struggles with mental health, and humanity’s penchant for Wanderlust. It’s his search, humble and human, that makes him the perfect companion to life’s moments- and were you lucky\n“Dirty Face and a Broken Screen is an absolute work of art”\nGreat Dark Wonder\n\n

SUMMARY:Dumai Dunai
DESCRIPTION:Slavic dub-punk missionaries Dumai Dunai have been winning the hearts of audiences all over the world since they first burst onto the scene in 2022. With members from Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Canada, the multi-lingual seven-piece combines the deep grooves of dub with the energy of punk rock, the raw ecstasy of the blasting horns of Balkan wedding brass bands, and the joys and sorrows of Ukrainian village polyphony.\nTheir debut album “Sometime Between Now and Never,” released in June 2024, received excellent reviews and a nomination for Global Roots Album of the Year from the Canadian Folk Music Awards.\nFeaturing past and present members of the Lemon Bucket Orkestra, Boogat, and Bad Uncle, Dumai Dunai exists somewhere between the underground scene of their beloved Montreal and the mountains and valleys of their Slavic homelands.\n“An intelligent partying kind of a band.” – Songlines Magazine\nwww.dumaidunai.com\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Good Co. Holiday Party Concert — CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Unfortunately, this show is cancelled due to heavy winds that have put the ferry out of service.\nSpend the holidays with Good Co!\nChristopher Roderick will be opening up the night at 8pm and then we’ll take the stage playing old favourites, barroom staples and maybe even some holiday classics.\nAll proceeds will be going to the Kingston Food Bank. So bring cash and spread some cheer.\nGood Co. is an Alt-Country band from Kingston, Ontario. What began as a solo songwriting project by Cody Allen James has evolved into a bonafide country rock outfit founded on a simple principle: write good songs and play them well. While they, of course, draw from the masters of the craft: Bob Dylan, John Prine, Gram Parsons, and The Rolling Stones, Good Co. has also been unavoidably influenced by more contemporary artists such as Neutral Milk Hotel, Deer Tick, and Demon’s Claws to name a few.\nGood Co. by Good Co.

SUMMARY:China Cat Riders / The Mill Rights
DESCRIPTION:Bring your dancing shoes, this is going to be fun!\nCHINA CAT RIDERS\nThe China Cat Riders offer an authentic dose of The Grateful Dead — they’re not shy of the long and deep cuts, and they don’t do it note for note, for they know the music plays the band.\nThe band formed out of a reunion of Hurricane Bob, who played around the city in the early nineties. Band members—Adam Hodge, Kevin Bowers, Dan Curtis, Wes Garland and Pete Bowers—are all veterans of the Kingston music scene, and have a common love of The Dead.\n\n\nTHE MILL RIGHTS\n\nReassembled from parts of Kingston Ontario’s finest blues & outlaw country bands, The Mill•Rights are a group of hard-workin’ full-time friends on a mission to forge their own timeless body of music. Building on the foundations laid by some of Canada’s most beloved artists, The Mill•Rights began working in the winter of 2021 with Jason Mercer at Neptune’s Machine on Wolfe Island. Their self-titled debut album, includes 13 original songs. Much like their live performances, they move fluidly through elements of roots, rock, reggae, country, folk, and blues among other genres.\n​\n\n\nWith a reputation for supporting and collaborating with a variety of artists, it’s no surprise that their debut recording features a small lineup of incredible guest musicians including multi-instrumentalist Teilhard Frost (Sheesham & Lotus), guitar phenom Dan Chisholm (Lotus Shaker), the multifaceted singer/songwriter Michael Duguay, Albertan revivalist/visionary Skinny Dyck, Canada’s legendary Hugh Christopher Brown (Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, Big Sugar, The Tragically Hip, Barenaked Ladies) and of course, the multi-talented producer/engineer/guru/musician Jason Mercer (Ani Difranco, Ron Sexsmith, The Gertrudes).\n​\nWhile given the opportunity to refine their sound through a series of unique performances at The Kingston Brewing Company, The Mill•Rights received an invitation to perform at the 2019 Wolfe Island Music Festival. It was there, while performing alongside The Sadies, Jim Bryson, Emilie Steele, Born Ruffians, Joe McLeod, and others, that The Mill•Rights resolved to step back from redistributing refurbished b-sides and focus on refining their songwriting skills instead.\n​\nAfter the pandemic-induced global hiatus on operations, The Mill•Rights are back to work performing, and are currently promoting their debut self-titled album.\nhttps://themillrights.com\nThe Mill•Rights are:\nPatrick Aaron (Bass/Vocals)\nJoey Lee (Drums/Vocals)\nDamien Van Johnson (Guitar/Vocals)\n

SUMMARY:Emily Triggs / John Borra
DESCRIPTION:We’re pleased to welcome Emily Triggs & John Borra back to the Hotel Wolfe Island! \nEMILY TRIGGS\nThere are a few specific reasons why Emily Triggs titled her new album The Great Escape, the main one being that the 13-song collection represents a break from old ways of thinking that the Montreal born, Calgary-based Americana singer/songwriter says have held her back both artistically and personally. With her new material, Triggs set out to challenge herself by ignoring any genre restrictions, and the result is her most honest and empowering album to date.\n\n\n\nhttps://www.emilytriggs.com\nThe Great Escape was produced by longtime Neko Case collaborator Paul Rigby, who also played a multitude of instruments on the album. Also contributing to the sessions in Vancouver were engineer/multi-instrumentalist Dave Carswell (Destroyer, The Evaporators), bassist Darren Paris (Frazey Ford), drummer Geoff Hicks (Colin James) and engineer Erik Nielsen (City and Colour). By coincidence, one of the studios where they recorded, Afterlife, was near where Triggs’ father Stanley recorded traditional folk songs on a houseboat in the early 1960s, which have since been released as a 3-disc set entitled The False Creek Tapes.\nThe Great Escape offers a clear picture of an artist coming into her own with songs that encompass the full range of emotions, from tenacious to transcendent. As Emily says, “My last album was about resilience, but sometimes you don’t need to be resilient, you need to change. You don’t have to leave a place, it can be metaphoric; you just have to leave a past version of yourself behind.”\nJOHN BORRA\nRoots-rock storyteller John Borra takes the stage celebrating his acclaimed new album, Last Dance at the E-Room! Borra’s career is a rich chapter in Toronto’s sonic history. Last Dance at the E-Room is a love letter to the past and a bold statement of where he’s headed, filled with grit, grace, and undeniable heart. Whether you’ve followed him from Queen West bars in the ‘80s or you’re just discovering one of Toronto’s most honest voices, this is a night you don’t want to miss.\nIt’s fair to say that John Borra has seen and done it all within the Toronto alternative music scene, from witnessing the first stirrings of punk as a kid in the late 1970s, to joining his first bands at the dawn of the alt-rock movement in the 1980s, and forging a solo career during the roots music renaissance that followed.\n\n\n\n

Longtime friends, their ease with one another brings a rare kind of trust and playfulness to the stage, deepening the emotional resonance of the music.\nLORI CULLEN\nLori Cullen is a Juno-nominated Canadian songwriter whose pure vocal style captivates listeners. Jazz great Kurt Elling once praised her as “his favorite new singer”—a testament to her unique artistry. With nine albums spanning jazz, folk, and pop, Lori has built a devoted following through heartfelt performances across Canada and internationally.\n“Lori Cullen has one of the purest voices in a generation. Once you’ve heard her, you’ll recognize that she has more than enough talent to become the next premier interpreter of our time.”\n— Jeffery Morgan, Metro Times Detroit\n“an audiophile’s dream, and this wonderful, unexpected jazz/folk album has sneaked its way into contention for one of the best albums of the year”\n— Rawcus Magazine (UK)\nhttps://www.loricullen.com/\nhttps://loricullen.bandcamp.com/\nMICHELLE WILLIS\nMichelle Willis is a Toronto-raised singer-songwriter, pianist, and guitarist currently based in Scotland.

SUMMARY:Bill Kirchen’s Honky Tonk Holiday Show – CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:UNFORTUNATELY, THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED:\n“I am extremely disappointed to tell you that we had to cancel the first leg of this year’s Honky Tonk holiday tour. So I was sharing a laugh on the phone with a friend Tuesday when boom! my right lung spontaneously collapsed. As soon as they can get me patched up and back home I’ll be working on spring and/or summer replacements for the 10 so shows we lost. Big heartfelt apologies to all these venues have supported me through the decades, and all you fine folks who come year after year after year.” — Bill Kirchen\nWe will be contacting ticket holders to make arrangements. We wish Bill a full and speedy recovery and hope to have him back soon!\n \nADVANCE TICKETS: $40 + HST & service charge\nBill Kirchen and His Silent Knights will make a stop on their annual Honky Tonk Holiday Tour at the Hotel Wolfe Island on Wednesday December 3rd! Featured is a sleigh-full of rarely heard holiday numbers from the blues, rock ‘n’ roll and honky tonk bags: “Silent Surfin’ Night,” “Truckin’ Trees for Christmas,” “Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin,” and more. But be ye not afraid, there’ll be so much more than holiday songs of questionable taste; you can count on a truckload of dieselbilly classics, rockers, and country weepers to take the edge off the holiday fuss. So mark your calendars and check ’em twice — Santa Claus is back in town! Kirchen is touring with his all-star Texas guys – Jack Saunders on bass and Rick Richards on drums.\nBILL KIRCHEN\nGrammy-nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide, and elicit instant recognition. Named a “Titan of the Telecaster” by Guitar Player Magazine, he celebrates a musical tradition that embraces rock ‘n’ roll, blues and bluegrass, Texas Western swing and California honky-tonk. Nick Lowe describes Bill as “… a devastating culmination of the elegant and funky… a really sensational musician, with enormous depth.”\nAs a founding father of the proto-Americana group Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, Kirchen wrought a diesel-fueled guitar hook that drove their Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top 10 nationwide. Kirchen went on to the Grammys where he was nominated for Best Country Instrumental in 2001.\nHe has recorded with Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, Hoyt Axton, Hazel Dickens, Gene Vincent and Link Wray, and  has toured the world as guitarist with Cody, Nick Lowe, Hoyt Axton and Emmylou Harris.\nBill Kirchen was inducted into the Hall Of Fame of the Washington DC Wammie Music Awards in 2001, alongside Dave Grohl and John Phillip Sousa. He joined a remarkable list of prior inductees including Bo Diddly, Duke Ellington, Ruth Brown, Marvin Gaye, Patsy Cline, Shirley Horn, Emmylou Harris, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady.\nHis recent disc, Transatlanticana, entered the Americana Radio Chart Top 10 in 2018, joining his extensive catalogue of over 2 dozen albums, from the Commander Cody discs on through his current 12 releases on the Proper and Last Music Company labels. Bill’s latest releases are Back from the Ozone, a Lost Planet Airmen reunion CD out in October 2023 and, from 2021,  the LPs Waxworks and Tombstone Every Mile, along with The Proper Years and Tombstone on CD and in all digital formats, all on the Last Music Company label.\nWashington Post:  “Seldom has traveling across the rock and country landscape been this much fun”\nGuitar Player magazine: “The Titan of the Telecaster…cuts loose with some of the fattest, gnarliest low-down twang imaginable”\nRolling Stone: “A musical treasure, a fantastic player, and, in these roots-conscious times, very much a pioneer, Bill Kirchen is one of our best.”\nhttps://www.billkirchen.com/official\n\n\n \n

Eccentric, maybe. Quirky even. Original, and at the same time, somehow familiar.\nForever fascinated by how music works, he began writing songs as a teenager and since then has written hundreds.

SUMMARY:Community Breathwork Circle
DESCRIPTION:Discover the wisdom within.\nJoin Transformational Coach and Psychedelic Guide, Denise Neumann-Fuhr RN, MA, for a small group (max 10 people) guided breathwork journey.\nCreated by the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness (Boulder, CO), this circular breathing practice eliminates the gaps that naturally occur at the end of both the inhale and the exhale. When done with awareness and intent, this type of breathing creates a state of charged equilibrium in the nervous system. Awareness becomes altered, and we gain access to a transpersonal or higher state of consciousness where insights, healing, and new perspectives become available to us.\nFor more information, please visit this breathwork page.\nDENISE NEUMANN-FUHR\n\n“Be a curator of your life. Slowly cut things out until you’re left only with what you love, with what’s necessary, with what makes you happy.”\n— Leo Babauta\nMy transpersonal roots extend to plant medicines which I’ve utilized as a tool for my own psychospirtual development since 2018. In 2022 I began training with the Center Mindfulness (CMM) in Colorado, where I learned to work with cannabis as a psychedelic. In 2023, I became a credentialed psychedelic sitter and guide for this medicine. Breathwork is an offshoot of CMM’s Cannabis Assisted Breathwork practice. I’ve subsequently attended Mystery School through the CMM. I’ve also completed training with Therapsil in Canada (psilocybin focus); and I’ve completed medicine facilitated work with Gathering Groups – an online group that fosters connection, resilience, and growth.\nhttps://www.deniseneumannfuhr.ca\n

SUMMARY:Doc MacLean
DESCRIPTION:Forty-five years ago Doc MacLean was playing Charlie Patton songs in Son House’s living room. More recently he’s been self driving across Africa with a battered National guitar and a small PA, playing in places where things are burning by the side of the road: places where dreams mix with cold beer and red wine: places where joy and sorrow and life and death crowd every moment. And then there’s Ireland, and the UK… and dates across all of Canada’s provinces.\nDoc began his career on the storied Flying Fish label out of Chicago. With his musical partner, Colin Linden, he played, toured and recorded with Sam Chatmon’s Barbeque Boys, Blind John Davis, Little Brother Montgomery, Sunnyland Slim, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, and a host of others. Opened shows for Muddy Waters, John Hammond, Jr., Johnny Winter… Now a celebrated, solo storyteller-songwriter in the delta tradition, Doc performs as many as 200 shows annually across Canada, United States, Ireland, UK, and greater southern Africa. An excellent, real deal, festival, small theatre and small venue opportunity.\nhttps://docmaclean.com\n\n

SUMMARY:Dystoh
DESCRIPTION:ADVANCE TICKETS: $17.63 ($15 + HST & Service Charge) BUY TICKETS ( #tickets )\n$20 / PWYC at the door\nDYSTOH is a dynamic new duo from Ray Tabana and Phil Motion, founding members of the three-time Juno-nominated Souljazz Orchestra. Blending hard-hitting congas, roaring baritone sax, and tight two-part harmonies, their sound draws from the commanding and vibrant elements of Afrobeat(s), Latin and Reggae. Born during the COVID-19 lockdown, DYSTOH debuted live at Dakar Music Expo in Senegal (2022) and has since toured Colombia, Canada and Europe. Their self-produced debut album,‘Heat of the Times’ (May 2024), bears the weight of the lockdown’s isolation while offering a subtle, raw and poetic personal reflection on global unrest in a fast-paced shifting world. Standout tracks and videos like”All My Life” and “Days Go By” highlight the best of their hypnotic grooves and polyrhythmic arrangements as these two artists swap lead vocal roles. After 20 years touring internationally with the Souljazz Orchestra, the duo now takes the stage, bringing forth their palpable high-energy sound that speaks to the duo’s rich history as touring artists and seasoned live performers.\nwww.dystoh.com\n\n\nHeat of the Times by Dystoh ( https://dystoh.bandcamp.com/album/heat-of-the-times-2 )\n

SUMMARY:Codex
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the main bar for Codex! $15/PWYC.\nThis futuristic hybrid of jazz breaks, folk, rock, ambient, trip-hop, and drum’n’ bass, has made Codex one of the most provocative independent acts coming from the Toronto, Canada music scene.\nCodex is named after Leonardo Da Vinci’s 15th century manuscript about future inventions. Conceptualized by Luca Hiroyuki d’Addario, the idea of this musical studio project was to break new ground and take contemporary music to a new plateau.As a source of inspiration, the band which includes Luca d’Addario on acoustic/electric guitar-synth and vocals, Avi Iyer on drums and percussion, Luke Vajsar on 5 string bass/vocals, and Sarah Gurney on violin/vocals, fuses a variety of musical styles to call their own. \nBeing the first Canadian artist to independently release a trip-hop-rock-jungle recording on 12″ vinyl, “The Codex Remixes”, Codex also became one of the first Canadian acts signed to Dave Allen (Gang of Four, Shriekback) of LA-based World Domination Recordings label, which then internationally re-released their Canadian debut 12” vinyl along with their first self titled, ‘Codex’ CD. With a library of sorts built on the foundation of various CD and vinyl releases as well as writing for film and television shows (HBO’s ‘Sexbytes’, Chum Media’s OOhLaLa, and the MMVA – Much MusicVideo Awards), Codex are currently recording and performing new material for an upcoming 2024/2025 release. As a Canadian band, Codex are determined to represent the new sound of music from Canada, always keeping an eye on the past, but most certainly always looking towards the future.\ncodexmusic.com ( https://codexmusic.com )\n\n

DESCRIPTION:John Oswald presents plunderphoniCoveralls with special guests Poets’ Workout Sound System\nFriday Sept 12th,  8:00 PM,  $20.\nBest known as the the creator of the music genre plunderphonics – John Oswald is one of Canada’s most internationally renowned composers and arguably it’s most infamous. A long list of collaborative partners include The Grateful Dead, John Zorn, Fred Frith, Henry Kaiser, Kronos Quartet, Marc-Andre Hamelin, Ensemble Modern, Bang On A Can All-Stars, Bill T. Jones and countless others.\nIn 2004, upon bestowing him with Canada’s most prestigious art award, the Governor General’s Award jury stated : “John Oswald has created an art – and vocabulary – of his own in his exceptional and innovative work as a sound artist, image alchemist, composer and media artist… Oswald’s art, while often playful, is a serious examination of basic elements. His influence on an entire generation of artists and his international reputation attest to his free-ranging spirit of innovation and exploration.”\nFor his debut performance at Hotel Wolfe Island, Oswald has assembled a cast of musicians to work through his newest concept – plunderphoniCoveralls – a set of “reverse karaoke” improvisations to a selection of a cappella recordings from the last 75 years in popular music. Featured singers include Joni Mitchell, Luciano Pavarotti, Billies Holiday & Eilish, Willie Nelson, Celine Dion, Barry White & more.\nChris Brown – organ, keys\nJason Mercer – bass\nSandro Perri – guitar, synth\nAndrew Whiteman – organelle\nmore guests TBA + special virtual appearance by Bill Frisell – electric guitar\nPoets’ Workout Sound System\n“Hailing from Montreal and Toronto, Poets’ Workout Sound System is Andrew Whiteman (Apostle Of Hustle, Broken Social Scene) and Adrienne Amato – two longtime friends pushing each other’s buttons onstage under the sign of high NRG beats, psychedelic visuals, and radical liberatory poetics. Modelled after the neo-pull-up-your-sox wierdness of the Jane Fonda 1980s, P.W.S.S. offers Poetry, dressed in fresh track suits and accompanied by fast BPM tempos as a possible mode of resistance to capitalism. They seek to engage the excitement and free movement of bodies together, tapping into a collective image of Keith Haring cartoons come alive. Do your thing! Focus your vibe! If you love the sound of the Roland 909, the satire of MF Doom, and the full mental release of a call to action that says “You Aren’t Alone!”, check ça si vous plait.”\n

SUMMARY:Ethan Mitchell / Dalton Carew
DESCRIPTION:Ethan Mitchell:\nEthan is an Ottawa based songwriter, singer, and guitarist. He plays antique and original music inspired by his roots in the Ottawa Valley.\nHe has a deep curiousity for all things music, and draws upon diverse influences from Hank Williams to Jeff Buckley to Tom Waits and back. Ethan is a keen study of Bluegrass, Folk, and Country from decades as early as the 1920’s, and enjoys many modern artists who are revitalizing traditional styles, such as Nick Shoulders and Colter Wall.\nA prolific writer, he’s always looking for a way to turn some pithy observation into a proper folk song. He writes about cowboys, Canada, country folk, city folk, lonesome folk, friendly folk, and anything that rouses his imagination. While his guitar playing is steeped in old-time traditions, his writing is rife with aphorisms and little comforts for the modern age. It’s witty and lyrical, often leaning on a dash of sarcasm to drive a point home.\nEthan released his debut album Western Movies March 7th 2025, a collection of new old-timey Country Western songs about finding your way in a world that’s outgrown the myth of the old West.\nDalton Carew:\nA singer-songwriter emerging in Ottawa, Dalton’s sound is shaped by the tangle of his hometown in the west, his roots in the Maritimes, and an upbringing throughout Southern Ontario—a restless friction of division, which he has come to defiantly embrace.\nForming the cornerstone of his compositions, he uses lyrical and melodic tension as he balances strength and tenderness while leaning into ornamentations like Celtic trills or the cowboy’s yodel.  With a voice as unrefined as it is earnest, his sound carries the wear and tear of countless nights spent busking in markets, streets, and parking garages with his battered steel guitar.\nDrawing influence from folk legends like Ewan MacColl and Woody Guthrie, Dalton channels this raw energy into his performances, be it on the street, in a pub, or at a café.\n\n\n \n

Sometimes very quiet, sometimes very loud, and with music somewhere in the territory of Big Thief, Bon Iver, and Mitski, Long Call is joyfully, and recklessly, DIY.\nDaisy Van der Wee is a singer-songwriter who pairs dynamic live performance with\nunassuming lyrical strength and tenderness, making music similar to artists like Perfume Genius, M. Ward, and Marlon Williams. Shifting from powerful cries to gentle invitations, Daisy brings you through the full depth of their experience. In the past three years, Daisy Van der Wee has completed three independently managed cross-country tours, released a series of soaring and intimate singles, and is currently in the midst of an ambitious dual-album project: producing two sets of recordings of the same songs with wildly different arrangements.\nThe “Little Something to Take the Edge Off” Tour is Long Call and Daisy Van der Wee’s 4th annual tour.\nThe Light by Long Call ( https://longcallmusic.bandcamp.com/track/the-light )\nNaked in Your Arms by Daisy Van der Wee ( https://daisyvanderwee.bandcamp.com/album/naked-in-your-arms )\n

SUMMARY:Bon Echo
DESCRIPTION:Join us on our beautiful waterfront patio for a Labour Day matinee featuring the sounds of Bon Echo!\nBon Echo is a Canadian folk and roots music duo based in London, UK comprised of Emma Houlahan and Tim Loten. They have a sound rooted in traditional American folk music coupled with contemporary folk songwriting. Influenced by bluegrass, old time, classic country, and folk revival they have dynamic two part harmonies, and virtuosic instrumental performances.\nThe two grew up playing music together around the Ottawa Valley in rural Ontario. As their musical tastes grew, their sound was drawn more and more into the world of Bluegrass and Old Time, as well as classic Canadian folk songwriters like Gordon Lightfoot, John Prine, and David Francey. The two musicians have since relocated to London but still return home to Canada to perform several times a year. Bon Echo had some notable performances at Crossover Festival / Holmfirth Festival / Stewart Park Festival, as well as many local pubs and folk clubs across Canada and the UK.\n\n

SUMMARY:Dánae Olano
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by Lula Music and Arts Centre…\nDon’t miss this special performance from Cuban Pianist Dánae Olano in our piano lounge on August 18th from 7pm to 9pm. Dánae Olano will be playing in a trio for this show.\nCover charge: $15/PWYC.  \n“She is a Havana Conservatory graduate, equally as comfortable with Chopin as with Chucho Valdes. Her bewitching playing permeates the whole album, with the aid of a wonderful polyrhythm section…”\n— London Jazz News \nDánae Olano was born and raised in the musical melting pot of Havana, Cuba. She began classical musical studies at age 7 at the Alejandro García Caturla Music School, continuing at the Amadeo Roldan Conservatory of Music. She graduated from the University of Arts (ISA) in Havana as an accompanying and solo pianist, obtaining the Piano Cum Laude distinction.\nHer professional career began to blossom while studying in university. There, she made incursions into theatre music, being part of recognized companies like El Ingenio and Teatro de la Luna. During that time, she was also a co-founder of the band Alami, immersing herself and fellow Cuban-Canadian singer Dayme Arocena into jazz music. She was also a founding member of Banda XX, conducted by drummer Yissy García.\nDánae is best known in North America as a founding member of the all-female band Jane Bunnett and Maqueque, which since its formation in 2013 has earned a Juno Award and been nominated on one other occasion, as well as earning a Grammy nomination. She is the band’s pianist and also sings, composes, and arranges for this renowned ensemble. She has performed in some of the world’s most prestigious jazz clubs, including Birdland, The Blue Note and Bimhuis as well as at top festivals such as the Monterrey, Newport and Saratoga Jazz Festivals in addition to Jazz al Parque in Bogota, Colombia. In 2018 she shared stage with pianists Jason Moran, James Francis, Booker T. Jones and Jane Bunnett as part of NPR’s “A Jazz Piano Christmas”, which was hosted by Felix Contreras at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.\nOlano just released her first album, Children’s Corner, in March 2024 which contains original music as well as a powerful version of “Un Poco Loco” by Bud Powell.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Bob Wiseman & Mike Boguski
DESCRIPTION:The “Two Pianos, No Rodeo” tour\nWhen do you ever get a chance to see two of Canada’s best piano players, coming from one of Canada’s legendary bands (Blue Rodeo), in one small club?\nBob & Mike will each be doing a 45 minute set of piano-based songs and improvisations.\nSaturday, August 30 // 8pm\nIn the Piano Room\nAdmission: $35 — advance ticket sales have ended. Tickets will be available at the door.\nBOB WISEMAN\nBob Wiseman was a founding member of Blue Rodeo, with whom he won 5 Juno Awards. He is a film composer, songwriter and author. Wiseman discovered or produced many artists, including Ron Sexsmith, The Lowest of the Low, Bruce McCulloch of Kids in the Hall, Anhai, and former Canadian member of parliament Andrew Cash. Bob has released 13 albums including such guests as Daniel Lanois, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Eugene Chadbourne, Edie Brickell, Ron Sexsmith, Jane Siberry, Basia Bulat and Serena Ryder.\n\n\nMIKE BOGUSKI\n\nAs keyboardist in Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees Blue Rodeo, Mike Boguski is regarded as one of the country’s finest instrumentalists, having appeared on each of the band’s albums since 2009’s ‘The Things We Left Behind.’ Boguski’s own musical range and ambitions extend far beyond his work with Blue Rodeo. Fans of Mike Boguski’s solo work have been treated to hearing the Blue Rodeo keyboardist venture into a range of sounds from jazz fusion to experimental composition, to original songwriting in recent years, and he’s continued to refine those recordings in an effort to provide both the best representation of his musical vision. That process continues with new editions of his solo albums Here’s To Tomorrow/Goodbye To Yesterday and Blues For The Penitent.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Dany Laj & The Looks
DESCRIPTION:Laj’s heartfelt songs seamlessly blend rock, folk and country elements, without straying too far from the power-pop roots that give the melodies a certain joie de vivre. Sidekicks Dany Laj and Jeanette Dowling are known for their extensive touring schedules and electrifying live shows.  Impressively, the band has played over 1000 shows all through North America. With stories of finding love, cross-country tours, and broken-down vehicles, this album ultimately retains a strong sense of humour and hope, which lies within memorably catchy hooks and intertwining harmonies between Laj and bassist Jeanette Dowling. Dowling and drummer Dusty Campbell as The Looks, Laj’s crack rhythm section, provide a rock-solid foundation and perfect complement to Laj’s quirky pop sensibilities, rendering Dany Laj and the Looks an unstoppable force just waiting to win your heart.\n\nhttps://danylajandthelooks.com/\n

SUMMARY:El Balcón – CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:EVENT CANCELLED — Unfortunately, touring complications mean that El Balcón will not be able to make this date.\n$20/PWYC\nMontreal based Latin fusion ensemble, El Balcón, is a collective that composes and arranges as one. They came together with a common love for traditional music from around the world and a desire to explore new possibilities in acoustic sound and groove.\nThis prolific group began by making creative arrangements of traditional tunes from Mexico, where lead singer Valeria De Marre comes from. They have evolved to composing original and innovative music that still keeps the acoustic spirit of the traditional music that inspires them. Mexican folk instruments like the jarana, requinto and the tarima (a polyrhythm foot board for traditional rhythmic dancing) blend with microtonal melodies of the east on the violin and oud. All grounded with the earthy touch of an upright bass and an array of masterful percussion including cajon, riqq, pandero, and quijada de burro (donkey jaw bone).\nTheir heavily danceable yet unusual rhythms set the stage for the two singers that never sing a song the same twice. To see El Balcón live is to see a band of best friends. This familial connection comes through on stage where their love of creating and playing together shows in their fiery performances.\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Batimento duo, is an instrumental ensemble formed by Ignacio Correa and Andrés Rey, which explores the sound and expressive possibilities of the guitar. Taking regional music as a starting point, they approach musical practice from different points of view and focus on the Río de la Plata genres of tango, waltz, and milonga. For this proposal, original arrangements are created and interpreted with a personal look at the genres. The selection of the repertoire is mainly due to the link that the works have with Uruguay, whether by composers, lyricists or that their creation or theme is closely linked to Uruguayan territory, claiming the importance of the country within tango, and the role of music as a factor of cultural integration of the region.\nThey have performed both in traditional milongas and in the main theaters and venues in Uruguay: Teatro Solís, Sala Zitarrosa, Sala Hugo Balzo – SODRE, among others. They have been invited to open the Yamandú Costa show at the Montevideo International Guitar Festival, they participated in the XVII International Tango Festival of Medellín Colombia, sharing the closing ceremony with the Sexteto Mayor, they presented on the XVII World of the Guitar Festival in Kaluga, Russia, to a full room, and they went on a tour to present their book and album in Japan. They have also performed at different instances of festivals, courses and concerts in Portugal, Spain, England, Finland, México, Bolivia, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Ecuador. As part of the project, the members of the duo have published a book with the scores of their arrangements and the history of tango in Uruguay, which has the support and financing of the CIATyC (Interministerial Commission to Support Tango and Candombe) In 2023 This book was translated and published in Japan. Likewise, the project has had the support of Ibermúsicas for participation in international music festivals, the Regional Fund for Culture to carry out a national tour and the FONAM (National Music Fund) for the production of its first album: Marginal, which It was nominated for best tango album at the 21st Graffiti Awards.\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Foot by Kayak — Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Foot by Kayak (2025) is a 50-minute independent film that emerged when siblings Liam and Laura Douglas wondered how much of the island they grew up on they had never seen before. Over four days by kayak, they circled the foot of the island, including traversing the nearly impassable canal.\nThe project started out as an experiment in finding adventure and fun in the everyday; what emerged is an exploration of place, memory, and perspective—shaped by encounters with kind people, unexpected wildlife, and the landscape itself.\nThe film features music by Robert Douglas, Teilhard Frost, The Gertrudes, and more. This is a local journey that invites you to look again at the places you think you know.\nThe film screening will be followed by a Q&A.\nVisit the Facebook event page for updates.\n \n

SUMMARY:Bry Webb / Cots
DESCRIPTION:Bry Webb is best known as the singer and principal songwriter in the well-loved and celebrated Canadian underground rock and roll band, The Constantines. During the band’s four-year hiatus from 2010-2014, Webb returned to his one time home of Guelph, Ontario, became a father, and wrote his first album, Provider, released in 2011 by Idée Fixe. The album has been called, “eerie, minimal and organic,” and features acoustic guitar, upright bass, and two steel guitars simultaneously, which has become the signature sound of Bry’s solo material.\nThrough touring festivals and clubs across Canada and the US in 2014, Bry Webb and The Providers became a tight, joyful, freewheeling rootsy folk-rock band, able to move seamlessly from soft, emotive acoustic arrangements to full-on jammed out rock and roll expositions, reminiscent of The Rolling Stones or The Grateful Dead. Their work together is celebrated on the 2015 LP release and concert film, Bry Webb and The Providers Live At Massey Hall.\nBry Webb endeavours to give his songs life by encouraging them to change and exist in different arrangements as time goes by. He tours solo, as a duo with Rich Burnett on lap steel, a trio with Rich and Nathan Lawr, and any combination of Providers, up to the full six-piece band showcased on the Massey Hall LP. He even reworked his songs with the fifteen piece Massey Hall Big Band for a unique performance in the Summer of 2015.\nAs with The Constantines, he believes that playing his music live in front of people in varied and unique spaces is the greatest thing about being a musician.\nWebb’s artistic endeavours as a solo artist have also included an original song commissioned for “This American Life” and a collaboration with long-time friend Feist on her album Metals, as well as contributing music to the film This Beautiful City, for which his song “Big Smoke” received a Genie Award nomination. Webb has also worked on scoring the Discovery Channel Series “The National Parks Project” with Jim Guthrie, Sarah Harmer and filmmaker Scott Smith.\n \nProvider by Bry Webb ( https://brywebb.bandcamp.com/album/provider )\n\n\n\nCOTS\nCots is the solo project of Montreal composer, singer, and guitarist Steph Yates. Blending elements of bossa nova, folk, jazz, and classical against a modern art backdrop, Cots’s subtly unconventional compositions and poetics permeate her debut record – the hushed, lush Disturbing Body. Produced by renowned Toronto musician Sandro Perri and engineered by Canadian recording artist Scott Merritt, the record demonstrates Yates’s understated, detailed songcraft and attention to lyrical play. Her pure, crystalline voice carries the gravitas of songs that evoke lost love and its consequences.\n \n\n\n

SUMMARY:ONTARIANS / Matthew Holtby
DESCRIPTION:ONTARIANS\nBefitting their name, ONTARIANS have a sound that could only be made by a group of guys raised on a steady diet of Neil Young, The Band, Blue Rodeo and The Tragically Hip. They demonstrated that on their critically acclaimed 2021 debut album The Greatest Short Story Never Told, and now they’re back with the sequel, More How It Is, 10 new songs from the band’s co-founders Frank Deresti and Craig Smith.\nThe pair crafted the new material over the past couple of years in their usual manner, through writing sessions at their respective home bases in Sault Ste. Marie and Collingwood, as well as other excursions to northern areas of the province. The album was then laid down at Smith’s studio with the band’s drummer Chris Johns and keyboardist Jay Stiles. It was a lot of ground to cover, but the results on More How It Is speak for themselves; on top of Deresti and Smith’s rootsy melodicism there’s also a bit more of a Northern Gothic element to the new songs.\n“Increasingly so, ONTARIANS have become very comfortable taking risks both musically and lyrically,” Smith says. “The sometimes lush and adventurous arrangements lift the songs to new heights, but the songwriting itself stands on its own.”\nDeresti adds, “Each song on the record tells its own story, but the album as a whole represents a period of time where the world seemed to offer more questions than answers, and preconceived assumptions were being challenged at every corner. Amidst the somewhat dystopian tone of some of the writing, there is a thread of curious optimism and light-heartedness that has become a calling card for us as a songwriting team. This juxtaposition of darkness and light, disillusionment and lightheartedness, and care and nonchalance is a common thread throughout the album.”\nThose elements are certainly present in the album’s first single “Start Over,” but on other tracks such as “Trippin'” ONTARIANS put their full musical dexterity on display, with Deresti and Smith’s interwoven guitars and harmonies producing an instant psychedelic pop anthem. The band also shows off its quieter side on the acoustic ballads “Boo” and “Heartbreak Remedy,” both tailor-made for the campfire.\nAlthough Deresti and Smith handled much of the instrumental parts themselves in the studio, there’s no denying that the live sound of ONTARIANS comes through even stronger on More How It Is than on their debut. With Jay Case handling bass duties on stage, the band is once again preparing to get out on the road as a five-piece and treat audiences to an all-around rock and roll experience.\nAs Ontario’s license plates used to say, it’s yours to discover. More How It Is by ONTARIANS may be the best musical discovery you’ll make this year.\n\n\nMATTHEW HOLTBY\n“You can tap your foot to pretty much any song, but a great song you can sing along with. Holtby writes just like that.” — Steve Waxman\n“Great singing and great song. Death Cab vibe with some GBV.” — Tim Vesley, Rheostatics/Violet Archers\nWarkworth, Ontario’s Matthew Holtby has been slowly adding to his collection of singles, one song at a time for the past two years. Working with Peterborough Producer, Michael Phillips, the pair have been digging out the sounds Holtby creates on his acoustic guitar with the help of his bandmates, best friends and even his Father. Last year saw the release of two independent singles which caught the ear of the CBC, and also helped to land him a few festival spots. He also had the pleasure of opening for legendary blues rocker David Wilcox to a sold out crowd in his hometown of Oshawa. He’s just released a brand new EP, and is looking forward to a very busy and exciting year ahead.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:C Joynes / Mike Gangloff
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist C Joynes and fiddler Mike Gangloff are a trans-Atlantic duo celebrating the release of their new album “Tom Winter, Tom Spring” with their debut tour of Canada in July 2025.\nTheir long musical histories have centred on a never-ending search for the otherness that glimmers alike in folk traditions and the avant garde. Their new album, “Tom Winter, Tom Spring” (VHF) emerged from the duo’s UK tour in 2023, when they spent a sunny afternoon recording in Sheffield’s Bishop’s House, a 16th-century Tudor building whose stones and beams seem to bring an extra heaviness to the proceedings. The combination of jaunty frolics (original and traditional), improvisation, and experimental tape noise appeared in 2024 as a limited edition 10-inch lathe on the Sonido Polifonico label. It is now appearing as a full LP on VHF Records, with additional solo tracks from guitar and fiddle.\nC Joynes, based in Cambridge, UK, has ploughed a singular furrow through solo guitar, with a body of work incorporating English folk tunes alongside North and West African music, and lifting proto-minimalist and improvised techniques from the European classical world. He has released 10 albums to date, including “Poor Boy on the Wire” (2021), his first solo album dedicated to the electric guitar; “The Borametz Tree” (2019), recorded with long-term fellow travellers Dead Rat Orchestra; and “The Wild Wild Berry,” a collaboration with singer Stephanie Hladowski (fROOTS Editors Choice Album of the Year 2012, MOJO Top 5 Folk Albums 2012). He has recorded a number of sessions for BBC Radio 3 and has played extensively across the UK, Europe, and the USA, sharing bills with Shirley Collins, Martin Carthy, Marc Ribot, Richard Dawson, Josephine Foster, Jack Rose, 75 Dollar Bill and many more. He is currently exploring the uses of an amplified archtop guitar, exploiting the instrument’s potential by placing intricate parlour music alongside overdriven garage blues and the brittle, ringing tones of free improvisation.\n“Seek ‘Tom Winter, Tom Spring’ out; cut by two of the most adept artists on the scene mid-way through a tour, the music is fluid and confident, and they manage to balance dense intensity with lighter foot-tappers and spacious abstracts. It’s quite a thing.” – KLOF Mag\nTom Winter, Tom Spring by Mike Gangloff & C Joynes ( https://cjoynes.bandcamp.com/album/tom-winter-tom-spring-2 )\nMike Gangloff, who lives in Southwest Virginia, USA, is a founding member of both droney free music notables Pelt and old-time rowdies Black Twig Pickers, both ensembles with decades of performing and recording. In recent years, Gangloff has focused on solo and duo music, touring with Joynes in the UK and playing frequent US shows with cellist Kaily Schenker (Solar Hex) and with guitarist Liam Grant. Last year, Gangloff and Schenker teamed up with 12-string guitarist Jesse Sheppard (Elkhorn) to record and tour as Universal Light. In two recent solo albums, “Evening Measures” (2022) and this year’s “April is Passing,” both on VHF Records, Gangloff has delved into a varied, emotional palette centered on the sounds of the hardanger-style fiddle and octave fiddle, accompanied by Schenker’s cello and by the droning reeds of wife Cara Gangloff’s sruti box.\n“An inheritor to Davy Graham; a lone operator prone to unexpected collaborations, with a repertoire that crosses continents and timezones with consummate ease, and dashed off with a phenomenal, yet lightly applied technique.”  – ROB YOUNG, THE WIRE\n\n \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Oddgeir Berg Trio (Norway)
DESCRIPTION:Electroacoustic jazz with one leg in melancholy and the other in ecstasy.\n“…A Trio for the new millennium”\n– Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz\n“One of the leading modern jazz trios of the post-Esbjorn Svensson Trio landscape.”\n– Ian Patterson, All About Jazz, live review.\nOddgeir Berg Trio is based in Oslo, Norway and has toured widely across Europe at major festivals and leading clubs such as Ronnie Scott’s. The group has also toured in Japan, China and the USA, Rochester International Jazz Festival, NY and as part of Nordic Jazz in Washington, DC. The group consists of Oddgeir Berg, compositions and keys, Audun Ramo, Double Bass and Lars Berntsen, Drums.\nOBT released their 5th album in June 2024, A Place Called Home, on the excellent German label, Ozella Music.\nA Place Called Home\nThe island of Rolla is tiny and sparsely populated — a mere 900 people live here. On A Place Called Home, Oddgeir Berg takes us to this, his father’s birth place, for a concept album about the magic of nature, the spaces hidden in memory, and the bonds that family provides.\nThe music was written with a new trio line-up and during a period of personal turmoil, including a cancer diagnosis for Berg’s mother, and the worries which accompanied her treatment. As one would expect, the music feels intimate and pastoral, mostly slower-paced and introspective.\nBut there are also moments of gentle exploration here as well as a beautiful bass solo by new member Audun Ramo. It is an invitation to a journey – to make any place your home.\n\n\n

Come introduce yourself chat with us!\n20:00 – 21:30 — MojoBanjo: A Loose History of the Banjo with Frost Mercer (main bar)\nA loose history of the banjo through pieces, ballads and fiddle tunes. The banjo came originally from West Africa in the 1640s. It arrived as memories and ideas. It adapted to the new world, eventually coming to a common form in the 1840s. From there the banjo was the mojo of the day right through the 1950s and beyond. Loosely threading along this timeline Teilhard Frost and Jason Mercer combine a variety of banjos, jaw harp, fiddle and song for an exciting night of music.\n21:45 – 22:15 — Siaka Diabaté (main bar)\nSiaka was born into a griot family in Orodara, Burkina Faso. He learned to play the balafon with his father. His first scenes were the fields and traditional ceremonies. In 2008, Siaka moved to Ouagadougou. He started working at the Village Artisanal, making traditional instruments. Here he met other musicians and discovered new genres of music and new instruments. It was the flute that really caught his attention, and he played this instrument every day to improve his skills. The kora became his nightly companion. Diabate remains in demand on stages in Burkina Faso, but is also playing in Ottawa and Montreal, as he moved to Canada in 2022.\n22:30……….. — Open Jam: all styles welcome (fire pit weather permitting, main bar if rain)\nOn the pier you will find the campfire where we will gather to jam. This is a safe place to sing a song or crack out a tune and we can all join in together.\nSATURDAY\n8:00 – 9:00 — Tai Chi “on the dock” with Teilhard Frost & Siaka Diabaté\nTeilhard will start with warm ups then will lead the first 16 moves in the Tai Chi 108 set. Siaka will accompany us.\n9:45 -11:00 — Early Era Banjo Workshop with Teilhard Frost (piano lounge)\nIn this workshop, Teilhard will demonstrate and teach playing techniques from the early era of the banjo, the mid ninteenth century. Often referred to as stroke style or minstrel banjo style, this came directly from the playing of African decedants and is the root of modern clawhammer banjo. It incorporates 6/8 rhthym patterns, left hand plucking techniques, right hand patterns often forgotten in modern clawhammer style. No matter what your level of experience, you will have new tricks and techniques for more fun and interesting playing. Teilhard will also have a variety of banjos for you to see, hear and try out.\n10:00 – 11:00 — Bluegrass Jam (patio)\nJason will lead this bluegrass jam. Here you can pull out all your favourite bluegrass tunes and songs to share and tear it up in the three finger style.\n11:15 – 12:15 — Bluegrass Banjo Workshop: Fiddle Tunes for Banjo with Jason Mercer (piano lounge)\nDelve behind the curtain of adapting fiddle tunes for the banjo! Jason Mercer will lead a constructive workshop on taking fiddle tune melodies and finding out how they fall on the fretboard of a 5 string banjo. This workshop will touch upon the use of melodic style banjo playing as well as modern single note banjo style. Joining him will be Teilhard Frost on fiddle.\n12:30 -14:00 — Lunch Break \n14:00 – 15:00 — The Bluegrass Moment (main bar)\nThe banjo is probably most well known for its role in making Bluegrass sound the just way it does. Early pioneers like Snuffy Jenkins and Earl Scruggs had a new way to play the banjo and introduced it to the world through Bluegrass music. This is all hands on deck. Many of this year’s artists have a connection to bluegrass music and want to share it with you. We will be picking some classic tunes you know and love and some great surprises too. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the sound, The Bluegrass Moment will be something truly special.\n15:15 -16:30 – Hannah & Nathan (piano lounge)\nHannah Shira Naiman and Nathan Smith (The Barrel Boys/Vinta) are acclaimed-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, each with a strong national presence in folk music. Both are CFMA winners-Hannah for Traditional Singer of the Year and Nathan-for Composer of the Year with Vinta and have honed their craft for over a decade. When the two joined for double-bill performances in 2022, Hannah’s clawhammer banjo fit perfectly with Nathan’s fiddle and guitar playing, but their undeniable strength lies in airtight vocal harmonies.\n16:30 – 18:00 — Banjo Open Mic (main bar)\nSign up to perform two tunes on the stage (main bar).

SUMMARY:The Island Talks Speaker Series: Sarah Selecky
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Selecky, celebrated author and founder of an international writing school on how to unlock the power and joy of your creative potential in Story is a State of Mind.\nWaterfront Patio, Hotel Wolfe Island\nFree event with cash book sales and author signings to follow\nTake the 9:40 AM free ferry from Kingston — no need to drive, the Hotel is a short walk from the ferry dock.\nSarah’s debut collection, This Cake Is for the Party, was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Commonwealth Prize for Best First Book in Canada and the Caribbean. It was also longlisted for the Frank O’Connor Prize.The New York Times called the stories “utterly fascinating.” You can find her writing in The Walrus, ELLE Canada, Fashion Magazine, and a variety of newspapers and magazines. Her novel, Radiant Shimmering Light has been embraced by readers across Canada, the US, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

SUMMARY:Tia Brazda
DESCRIPTION:Join us on our patio for a beautiful Sunday Matinee featuring one of Canada’s most recognizable voices in jazz, Tia Brazda!\nTia Brazda’s jazz-pop gems and retro style have established her as a sparkling presence on the jazz scene, both at home and abroad. Not only a singer but a songwriter as well, Brazda has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, main stage at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, as well as toured many times across North America and Europe, from intimate supper clubs to large outdoor festivals.  Her music has been described as a “hip pastiche” and a “walking catalog of 20th century jazz styles”. Her first single “Cabin Fever” broke through in 2012 and she followed that up with the 2015 full-length Bandshell, named as one of the best of the last decade in the Italian press and one of the best of the year by Jazz FM 91 in Toronto.  Her 2018 release Daydream saw her exploring new grooves such as bossa nova, soul and tango.  Her latest album WHEN I GET LOW finds her delving into the past, interpreting well-known classics from the Great American Songbook and making them her own. It was featured on Radio France and in Jazzwise Magazine (UK), with The Wholenote Magazine saying: “You won’t find another singer who vocalizes music quite like Tia Brazda…she has a fully formed style that is wholly her own.” The track ‘Smile’ also has over 1 million streams since its release.\nWebsite: https://www.tiabrazda.com\n\n\n

Featuring everything from post punk and pop to ambient and jazz. \nAdvanced Day Passes are $30 each. Advanced Full 3-Day-Weekend Passes (Fri-Sun) are $60 each (what a deal! tell all your friends!)

Show at 7pm sharp! \n7pm:  Film Screenings from Kai Thorpe (MTL) & Primordial Freak (LA) .\nMontreal’s Kai Thorpe is best known as a member of the band Crasher but tonight he’s going to showcase some of his experimental films. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have this visual element to our festivities this year. Especially because he’s bringing along offerings from collaborator’s Primordial Freak out of LA. This will be the perfect way to ease into the night’s many offerings on day two of Analogue Island Fest. https://www.primordialfreak.com/\n8pm: Strip Lacquer\nToronto-based band Strip Lacquer are an act who are comfortable existing in unease.\nDrawing from art rock experimentation, industrial abrasiveness, and post-punk ethos – Strip Lacquer is an outfit that encompasses sharp emotional songwriting with nuanced dissonance and a diverse sonic palette. Their musical influences include The Birthday Party, Fad Gadget, Malaria!, Chris and Cosey, and Broadcast.

SUMMARY:Emma Worley / Claire Hunter
DESCRIPTION:Claire Hunter is a Toronto-based singer-songwriter whose dreamy folk-pop creates intimate moments of reflection. Over the years, she has graced iconic Toronto stages such as the Horseshoe Tavern and the Drake Underground, and toured across Ontario with her band, opening for Canadian acts like Joshua Hyslop and Great Lake Swimmers. In 2022, Claire released the single “Dancing in the Light,” which explores the commitment and nuances of long-term friendship. The release was accompanied by a visually captivating music video directed by Dwi Riana. Back in the studio, Claire is working on new music that is set to be released this year.\n\nEMMA WORLEY\n \nBorn and raised in Guelph ON, Emma Worley has been writing songs since she was a child. However, she shied away from the limelight in adulthood and blossomed as a visual artist. Worley spent many years dedicated to her sculpture/installation career, garnering attention for her work at various high-profile institutions. Despite her burgeoning success in the visual-arts world, Worley found herself compulsively drawn towards creating the material that would become her debut, Sentimentalist (Victory Pool). This record showcases her maturity as a writer, despite it being her first public release of music. She considers songwriting her first artistic voice, and sees her emergent musical career is a return to her roots. Her songwriting is heartfelt, genuine and clever and her voice as soothing as it is powerful. Worley is currently finishing a new record slated for release Fall 2025.\n\n

SUMMARY:TUMBLE / MOOCH
DESCRIPTION:Catch TUMBLE with special guests MOOCH from Montreal\nFormed in Toronto, Canada, in 2022, TUMBLE is a hard-hitting power trio that fuses hard rock, psychedelic rock, and proto-metal into a raw, high-voltage sound that pays homage to the underground heavy rock movement of the late ’60s and early ’70s. With minimal effects, loud tube amps, and an uncompromising live energy, the band strips rock ‘n’ roll down to its most primal form—driven by ferocious riffs, dynamic rhythms, and hypnotic grooves.\nTUMBLE consists of Liam Deak on guitar and vocals, Tarun Dawar on bass, and Adam Guerra on drums. Together, they create a sound that is both thunderous and unrestrained, with each instrument pushing the others to their limits. Their chemistry is built on instinct and improvisation, allowing them to craft dynamic and unpredictable performances both in the studio and on stage.\nSince their formation, TUMBLE has shared the stage with CROWN LANDS, MONSTER TRUCK, and IAN BLURTON’S FUTURE NOW, quickly building a reputation for their explosive live shows and no-nonsense, riff-heavy sound. Their previous single, a cover of PENTAGRAM’s “Earth Flight,” even earned praise from Bobby Liebling himself, solidifying the band as one of the most exciting new acts in the underground rock scene.\n \nLost In Light by Tumble ( https://tumbletheband.bandcamp.com/album/lost-in-light )\nFor advanced tickets: https://fannatickets.com/event/june-11-tumble-mooch-at-hotel-wolfe-island-kingston-on-534/register ( https://fannatickets.com/event/june-11-tumble-mooch-at-hotel-wolfe-island-kingston-on-534/register )\n

SUMMARY:S.G. Sinnicks
DESCRIPTION:Join us on our patio for this one!\nSteve (S.G.) Sinnicks began playing drums at 11 and, at 15, began to play the pubs with everyone, from local artists to Canadian legend Stompin’ Tom Connors. Since transitioning to original songwriting in the late 90’s, he is now known across Canada and the US as a singer/songwriter in the vein of Nick Lowe or Billy Bragg, with a history of dissent and telling the story with words, music and solidarity.\nSG Sinnicks is known as a solid yet silken voiced bard.  He specializes in “working man first” songs, blended with heart felt airs and tongue in cheek fair warnings to ‘keep your head and spirits up’.  He supplies just the right amount of wit, wisdom, and thought provocation, as well as a soothing and highly poetic romanticism. He can fix your off day, and light a room like a good ruler of stage, song, and story should.\nSG is a fixture of Hamilton’s music scene. He has most recently, in his Toronto appearances, been joined by Blue Rodeo members Mike Boguski on piano, and Basil Donnovan on bass, but is often simply sided by Hamilton legend Randall Hill on mandolin, though he holds court fabulously, and dare i say best, solo.\nThe following song in particular, was observed with pin drop silence on a recent mini tour of Ottawa, Montreal, and Wakefield, qc, resulting in confirmed return engagements to all venues by demand of patrons, and jaw dropped club owners.\nT.I.H by SG Sinnicks ( https://sgsinnicks.bandcamp.com/album/t-i-h )\nwww.sinnicks.com\n \n

SUMMARY:Dave Pomfret (Lilly Book Launch) / Martin Verrall
DESCRIPTION:“A blend of live music, spoken word, and open-hearted conversation!”\nDave Pomfret’s launches his book ‘Lilly’ with Musical Accompaniment by Martin Verrall.\nOn Thursday June 12, Join Hamilton singer-songwriter and author Dave Pomfret as he hits the road to celebrate the launch of his novel Lilly—a deeply personal and hauntingly poetic story about grief, imagination, and the tangled beauty of mental health and family.\nHotel Wolfe Island will experience a blend of live music, spoken word, and open-hearted conversation, with the incomparable Martin Verrall—the real-life inspiration behind Marvin Carol—joining Dave onstage. Expect raw stories, shared songs, and moments that walk the tightrope between laughter and heartbreak.\nLilly is more than a book… it’s a journey.\nAbout the Author\nDave Pomfret is a songwriter and storyteller whose creative journey took an unexpected turn with Lilly, his debut novel. Known for crafting music that captures life’s raw emotions, Dave discovered Lilly as a fully formed idea that demanded to be brought to life on the page.\nDrawing inspiration from his own family’s struggles with addiction, mental illness, and loss, Dave infused Lilly with heart, humor, and a touch of the surreal. His storytelling reflects his songwriter’s sensibility – finding beauty in chaos and connection in even the most fractured realities.\nWhen he’s not writing with his lady, Michelle Morra, Dave is making music, spending time with his family, or chasing the next spark of inspiration. Lilly is a labor of love, dedicated to those who seek meaning in life’s most challenging moments.\n\n

SUMMARY:Michel Neray
DESCRIPTION:Michel Neray’s songwriting exhibits a depth and intimacy that blends the emotive storytelling of Leonard Cohen with a musical edge that draws inspiration from Americana powerhouses like Jason Isbell.\nNeray’s voice carries a sincerity that’s both vulnerable and resilient. Thoughtful arrangements provide the canvas for the lyrics, with fine brush strokes that paint the nuances of the human condition with poetic grace, while never shy to crank out a banger or two. The overall effect resonates deeply, and lingers in the soul.\nMichel’s first album, ‘Kiss the Rock’ is a hard driving collecting of tunes that belie the wisdom and sensitivity of the lyrics. His second album, human (being) stretches the genre-bending range of the songs in both directions from Simon & Garfunkel(ish) in the opening track, ‘Been too Long’ to  cow-punk in ‘Cobweb in the Corner’. There’s even a cover of ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ performed with an emotional intensity that Johnny Cash might have intended – unlike anything you’ve ever heard at late night bars jams.\nOn stage, Michel is a magnetic performer who engages listeners with fun banter and backstories.\nhttps://michelneraymusic.com/stream-social\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Prints, Pots, Threads\nArt Exhibit featuring Angela Costello, Sue Lyon and Phillida Hargreaves\nOpening Reception: Saturday August 9th, 2025, from 1pm to 4pm – no entry fee\nArt will be showcased from August 1st to September 2nd, 2025\nAbout the Exhibit\nThese three artists have created an intriguing space within Hotel Wolfe Island that balances their different styles and mediums. The effect is a visual and textural feast that invites the viewer to take some time to appreciate the commonalities and contrasts between prints, pots and threads.\nAngela Costello – Artist’s Statement\nI am a printmaker who creates limited-edition original silkscreen prints. Inspired by my fascination with animals and environments, both domestic and wild, I compose my images on paper with ink, applied colour by colour, layer on layer using photo stencil-silkscreen printing techniques. My most recent prints are expressions of my enduring interest in feline movement and attitude. I have combined quirky colours, bold lines and unusual textures to make compositions of graceful, daring and comical cats dancing in a tangle of dynamic lines. In tandem with my feline projects, I collect, through photography, elements from the forest and compose these splendid patterns, textures, values and lines into abstract black and white collages. These images I developed through collage have informed my next series of prints through which I will explore how colour alters meaning and mood. My practice as a printmaker spans over 35 years and I have enjoyed being a part of the Kingston arts community as an artist, arts educator and exhibition manager.\ncostello-prints.ca\nSue Lyon – Artist’s Statement\nI found my love of clay in West Yorkshire, UK. In 1990 we emigrated to Kingston, Canada, where I joined the Potters’ Guild (President 1996-1999).\nI have exhibited in galleries in Ontario and Vancouver, also in Kingston at the Women’s Art Festival, Potters’ Guild, many studio tours since 1993, and an Autumn Art Exhibition. I participate annually in OKWA shows (President in 2016-2018).\nOver the years I have made dinner sets, supplies for restaurants and my pots have been shipped to other continents.\nIn my purpose-built studio, I teach and create both functional and sculptural pieces. Teaching has given me the joy of seeing several students become professional potters.\nsuesstudiopottery.com\nPhillida Hargreaves – Artist’s Statement\nAs a fiber artist, I use the textural qualities of fabric and yarn to create a visceral and tactile connection to the world around me.\nI use recycled and commercial cloth which I alter with dye, rust, paint and print. I build my pieces layer by layer and add extra dimensions with sheers, yarn and thread. I prefer to work in series, and have covered many subjects including Canadian landscapes, trees, buildings, and rocks. Currently I am focusing on moss and fungi. This show contains art from each series.\nI have created fiber art for over 30 years. My pieces have been shown across Canada and internationally. Now I show primarily in eastern Ontario.\nI am privileged to be a member of the Kingston Fiber Artists and the Organization of Kingston Women Artists.\nphillidahargreaves.ca\n

SUMMARY:BILL DOES BOB: Bill Kirchen’s Dylan Show
DESCRIPTION:ADVANCE TICKETS: $40 + HST & service charge BUY TICKETS ( #tickets )\nTickets will also be available at the door.\n8:00PM: Rocky & Friends opening the show\n8:45PM: Bill Kirchen\nThe songs and memories from Bill’s pilgrimages to see Bob Dylan at the Newport Festivals in ’64 and ’65\nIn 1964 and 1965, a young Bill Kirchen made two pilgrimages from his home in Ann Arbor to the Newport Folk Festivals. Among many other wondrous things, he saw Dylan debut Mr. Tambourine Man in ’64, then go full on electric in ’65. Bill swears what he saw and heard at those Festivals ruined him for normal work.\nBill Kirchen first gained renown as lead guitarist and vocalist for Commander Cody & his Lost Planet Airmen, where the resonant twang of his battered Telecaster drove “Hot Rod Lincoln” into the Top Ten in ’72. Bill brings his ace Texas band for the best of his Commander Cody and solo years, and the songs and reminiscences from Dylan at the ground breaking Newport Festival shows.\n“A Titan of the Telecaster guitar” – Guitar Player magazine\n“Bill Kirchen rules, it’s just that simple.” – the Austin-American Statesman\n“A devastating culmination of the elegant and the funky, a really sensational musician with enormous depth.” – Nick Lowe\n“He is one of the singular instrumental stylists of American roots music, and to hear his sound once is to have it indelibly etched on one’s musical memory.” – Pop Matters\n“A musical treasure, a fantastic player, and, in these roots-conscious times, very much a pioneer, Bill Kirchen is one of our best.” – Rolling Stone\n\nMORE ABOUT BILL KIRCHEN\nGrammy-nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide, and elicit instant recognition. He celebrates a musical tradition that embraces rock ‘n’ roll, blues and bluegrass, Texas Western swing and California honky-tonk. As a founding father of the proto-Americana group Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, Kirchen wrought a diesel-fueled guitar hook that drove their Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top 10 nationwide. Kirchen went on to the Grammys where he was nominated for Best Country Instrumental in 2001.\nHe has recorded with Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, Hoyt Axton, Hazel Dickens, Gene Vincent and Link Wray, and  has toured the world as guitarist with Cody, Nick Lowe, Hoyt Axton and Emmylou Harris.\nBill Kirchen was inducted into the Hall Of Fame of the Washington DC Wammie Music Awards in 2001, alongside Dave Grohl and John Phillip Sousa. He joined a remarkable list of prior inductees including Bo Diddly, Duke Ellington, Ruth Brown, Marvin Gaye, Patsy Cline, Shirley Horn, Emmylou Harris, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady.\nhttps://www.billkirchen.com/official\n \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Deborah Schuurmans & bathwash.
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a spring Sunday Matinee! The show will be performed on our patio stage, weather permitting, indoors in the Piano Room otherwise.\nbathwash., also known as Jazmine Wykes, is a rising artist in the Ottawa indie-pop scene. Her music combines dreamy melodies with introspective lyrics, creating a sound that is both ethereal and emotional. Bathwash. has recently released her first EP “Solar Farm” available on all streaming platforms.\nDeborah Schuurmans, the soulful Canadian composer and pianist, creates music that is a journey for the heart and soul. Her cinematic piano pieces rise and fall with emotive intensity, evoking a sense of peace and presence in the moment. With each note, Deborah takes her listeners on a captivating and deeply personal journey through sound, creating strong visual imagery that transports them to another place and time.\nGrowing up, Deborah’s musical influences included Chopin, Debussy, and Tin Pan Alley. Drawing on her classical training and her own natural creative instincts, she blends these influences to create her own unique and intrinsic harmonies and melodies.\nDeborah’s first series of songs, such as Spinning in Time, Light Spectrum, Sinking into Air, Riding with the Wind, and Falling In, are infused with her love of nature, the universe, and spirit. Created from her subconscious, these pieces are a beautiful manifestation of connectivity between nature, humanity, and the heart.\nHer other series of pieces were born from her personal experiences of love and loss. These emotive pieces are a reflection of the human experience and serve to remind us of the importance of feeling deeply and connecting with our hearts.\nDeborah’s ultimate dream is that her music will contribute to creating a universal love for all souls. Her intention is for her listeners to feel their hearts stir with emotion and to be moved by the beauty and power of her music.\nhttps://www.instagram.com/schuurmansd/\n \n\n\n

It shows his developing craftsmanship as a songwriter and musician but also his developments as a human being.\nMaurice will be accompanied on guitar and vocals by Mawzy, from Toronto. \n“One of the Best Country Rock Albums from The Netherlands” – Heaven Magazine\n“Traveling Man deserves to be heard far and wide” – Altcountry.nl\nFacebook ( https://www.facebook.com/musicfromoveryonder ) // Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/musicfromoveryonder/ )\n\n\n\nMAWZY\nA “mawzy” day begins before dawn. It’s a foggy early morning, the sunlight never rising above a bare simmer. The Newfoundlander term is the perfect word for singer-songwriter Matt Cooke’s psych-pop project which burbles with hazy vintage synths, misty vocals and a message of love and longing. Growing up in Newfoundland, Cooke cut his teeth in pentecostal church bands, jazz, and folk before packing up and leaving Atlantic Canada for Toronto where Mawzy was born.\nYou can hear that maritime fog transposed to the bright lights of the big city in Mawzy’s discography. Driving forward with a disco edge, bright guitars, vocals reverbed into the sky, Cooke’s musical project is alight with an eerie groove. It’s a canted pitch of supercharged pop urgency and nostalgic nigh-on crooning psychedelia mixed into a fog of lush analog synths that echo into oblivion. Emerging from the mist is Cooke himself, fading into view in bursts of light amidst the gloom.\nMawzy is a distinct portrait of a constantly inventing artist who stretches over landscapes and warmly molds them into the size of a song.\n\n

SUMMARY:ES:MO — Elizabeth Shepherd & Michael Occhipinti
DESCRIPTION:Admission: $25\nES:MO is Elizabeth Shepherd and Michael Occhipinti, two imaginative and acclaimed musicians who push against the boundaries of genres to seek out the new. ES:MO incorporate the musical ideas that move them regardless of style, and both have been restless explorers for years. ES:MO’s love of contemporary harmony and rhythm gets paired up with a love of great songwriters, explorations in electronics and modern guitar soundscapes, r&b and funk, poetry, folk and orchestral traditions, and great musicianship.\n\nMichael Occhipinti’s huge colour palette of guitar work combined with Elizabeth Shepherd’s soulful and ethereal voice and keyboard work is a special pairing, as evidenced by their debut album, The Weight of Hope, which received a 2022 JUNO Award nomination (individually Michael and Elizabeth have a combined 17 JUNO nominations). The album was built around the duo’s ability to interpret the great songs of Stevie Wonder, Bruce Cockburn, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake and others, and the duo are just about to release a single which interprets Americana artist Jason Isbell’s “If We Were Vampires.”\nIn autumn 2025 ES:MO will release its 2nd album SUNSHINE IN MY BONES, a celebration of the duo’s own compositions built on hours of improvised jam sessions, samples of washing machines, voice and guitar loops, and the vision of two great friends who recognize the magical connection they have when they improvise music together. The lyrics explore everything from modern warfare to love among tulips and the need for human connection in a distant age, and several guest drummers join Elizabeth and Michael who play everything else.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Good Co.
DESCRIPTION:Good Co. on June 13, 8:30pm, $15/PWYC\nGood Co. is an Alt-Country band from Kingston, Ontario. What began as a solo songwriting project by Cody Allen James has evolved into a bonafide country rock outfit founded on a simple principle: write good songs and play them well. While they, of course, draw from the masters of the craft: Bob Dylan, John Prine, Gram Parsons, and The Rolling Stones, Good Co. has also been unavoidably influenced by more contemporary artists such as Neutral Milk Hotel, Deer Tick, and Demon’s Claws to name a few.\nThe core creative force behind Good Company comes from brothers, and lifelong songwriting partners, Cody Allen James (guitar/vocal) and Coyote Williams (bass/vocal). Growing up in rural Ontario, raised on roots country and rock n’ roll, James and Williams have developed and meticulously honed an intuitive sense for songwriting, with an unshakable focus on quality lyrics, memorable melodies, and air-tight song structure.\nSeeking to form a solid four-piece core, Cody reached out to noted local drummer, Dan Killen. Killen had the well-earned reputation of a metronomic professional, having played with many prominent local acts from his early teens onward. The fit was natural and immediate.\nWilliams and James found lead guitarist, Mike Rapkins, serendipitously by catching him performing in his rock band, The Roughs. They knew immediately they must have him. A quick conversation over a beer, and Mike was in straight away. The fit was again natural and immediate.\nQuick to work, the band began putting songs out like an assembly line and began playing locally as often as possible. They toured Ontario in January 2023 and then the East Coast in June 2023, followed by a smattering of festivals, short runs, and one-offs\nTaking Back The Night by Good Co.

SUMMARY:The Mill Rights
DESCRIPTION:Reassembled from parts of Kingston Ontario’s finest blues & outlaw country bands, The Mill•Rights are a group of hard-workin’ full-time friends on a mission to forge their own timeless body of music. Building on the foundations laid by some of Canada’s most beloved artists, The Mill•Rights began working in the winter of 2021 with Jason Mercer at Neptune’s Machine on Wolfe Island. Their self-titled debut album, includes 13 original songs. Much like their live performances, they move fluidly through elements of roots, rock, reggae, country, folk, and blues among other genres.\n​\nWith a reputation for supporting and collaborating with a variety of artists, it’s no surprise that their debut recording features a small lineup of incredible guest musicians including multi-instrumentalist Teilhard Frost (Sheesham & Lotus), guitar phenom Dan Chisholm (Lotus Shaker), the multifaceted singer/songwriter Michael Duguay, Albertan revivalist/visionary Skinny Dyck, Canada’s legendary Hugh Christopher Brown (Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, Big Sugar, The Tragically Hip, Barenaked Ladies) and of course, the multi-talented producer/engineer/guru/musician Jason Mercer (Ani Difranco, Ron Sexsmith, The Gertrudes).\n​\nWhile given the opportunity to refine their sound through a series of unique performances at The Kingston Brewing Company, The Mill•Rights received an invitation to perform at the 2019 Wolfe Island Music Festival. It was there, while performing alongside The Sadies, Jim Bryson, Emilie Steele, Born Ruffians, Joe McLeod, and others, that The Mill•Rights resolved to step back from redistributing refurbished b-sides and focus on refining their songwriting skills instead.\n​\nAfter the pandemic-induced global hiatus on operations, The Mill•Rights are back to work performing, and are currently promoting their debut self-titled album.\nhttps://themillrights.com\nThe Mill•Rights are:\nPatrick Aaron (Bass/Vocals)\nJoey Lee (Drums/Vocals)\nDamien Van Johnson (Guitar/Vocals)\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Anthea Feaver / Princess Towers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special show in the piano lounge featuring these two incredible local acts!\nPrincess Towers:\nPrincess Towers are built out of solid folk-rock and a few unsound ideas. Teetering between familiar and alien, their songs imagine a grand mythology of ordinary things, passing thoughts, and common feelings.Since forming in Kingston in 2022 they have released the album Remastered in Stereo (2022) and the EP Freak Fairy Tales (2023). Along the way, lead architect Arden Rogalsky has assembled a top-notch crew of collaborators, toured to both coasts, and contributed a soundtrack to The Fall (2023) by Elkabong Theatre.\nhttps://princesstowers.net/\nAnthea Feaver:\nAnthea Feaver is a songwriter passionate about traditional folk music, a teacher with a degree in community arts education, and an old-time fiddle and banjo player. On stage, she is as likely to sing a bittersweet love song as she is to give a quick history lesson, tell a long-winded joke, or break into an upbeat tune. Whether at an intimate house concert or on a festival stage, she draws people together and has them singing along. Her first full-length album “Summer’s Morning” (released September 2024) is “a broad and luxurious array of folk-inspired gems” driven by lush string arrangements, poignant lyricism, and Anthea’s deft fingerpicking (Lock Magazine). Notable past performances include Blue Skies Music Festival, Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, North Carolina Folk Festival, and showcases at Folk Canada and Northeastern Regional Folk Alliance conferences. An emerging voice in the folk community, “Anthea Feaver is one to watch” (Americana UK).\nhttps://antheafeaver.com/\n\n\n

As a staff writer for music publishing, Thomas was tasked with writing hits and his diverse repertoire reflects that. He writes songs we can all connect with – memorable sing along melodies, clever, ear friendly lyrics couched in an wide ranging array of rhythms – all introduced with a captivating, often humorous, repartee that is a throwback to the story telling era of Mark Twain, Garrison Keillor and Stuart Maclean.  Accompanied on fiddle, mandolin, guitar, keyboards and percussion by the legendary “sessionmen” – Ray Legere and Jon Arsenault – whose credits in their own right include, Alison Krauss, Rita MacNeil, Doc Watson, Tony Rice and The Chieftains – Thomas delivers beautiful and energetic Folk/Americana mixed with a touch of Bluegrass that has captivated audiences across North America and Europe, and garnered Entertainer of the Year and multiple songwriter nominations from the East Coast Music Association. With a hotly anticipated new album, produced by Juno Winner Catherine MacLellan dropping May 1, Robert Thomas and the sessionmen are excited to be back on the road across North America in 2025/26.\nOne sentence from Rodney Crowell sums up the artistry of Robert Thomas and the sessionmen – “These boys know what they’re doing.”\n\n\n8:30PM – BIG TOBACCO & THE PICKERS\nGet your boots shined up, Big Tobacco are back! They’ve quickly become Wolfe Island favourites, after the good times at previous Firefighters Ball benefit shows.\nSince 2008, Big Tobacco & the Pickers have been bringing their unique brand of traditional country to bar rooms, taverns, halls and festivals around Ontario. Their ongoing monthly residency at Toronto roots institution The Cameron House, has gained them a loyal following of country music fans.\nRegular appearances at legendary rooms like The Dakota Tavern and The Cadillac Lounge, have helped develop their gritty live show into what it is today – a glimpse back at the golden age of country music. Their renditions of the hard hitting classics, along with traditional sounding original material, will make you and your friends want to dance all night, drink too much, and leave you wanting more.\nFrom the rich tones of the pedal steel, to the hot licks of the Fender Telecaster, Big Tobacco & the Pickers deliver a new brand of country music, true to old school tradition.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Run Coyote / Evan Jackson / Poplar – CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately, this show has been cancelled due to illness. We look forward to having Run Coyote and friends back soon!\n8:30 – Poplar (Kieran L’Abbe)\n9:00 – Evan Jackson (and band)\n9:50 – Run Coyote\nRUN COYOTE\nRun Coyote is a noir-tinged rock’n’roll band that tells the shadowy stories of the city: the fatal affairs of late-night lovers, the adventures of downtown cowboys, and the chase and foil of private eyes. Run Coyote mixes “surf rock and western swagger” to “create sounds that might be a sync license in a vintage Hollywood silver screen picture” (Ian McFarland, It’s Not Records).\nAfter spending the pandemic years writing and recording, Run Coyote is releasing a new EP this spring, ‘Songs to Run to.’ The EP features the more personal side of Sam Allen’s songwriting, set to the most exciting rock music the band has released yet. New single “No More Running” out now!\n\nEVAN JACKSON\nAlt-folk aficionado Evan Jackson is a singer/songwriter born and based in Kingston, Ontario. Evan spent his young years filling his ears with the likes of talents like Neko Case and Sarah Harmer, and began to develop his own country-noir style. At home on the stage, Evan weaves stories that are dark and magnetic. With the release of his first EP, True Gentleman, Evan showcases his songwriting abilities and versatility as an songwriter with a range of canadiana material, from moody, reverb drenched anthems like Nixon, to whimsical, gritty folk ballads like the title track, True Gentleman.\n\nPOPLAR\nPoplar is a genre bending indie band from Kingston, Ontario known for their intricate melodies and beat poet vocal stylings.\n\n

SUMMARY:Stephen Stanley & NoElectric + Piner
DESCRIPTION:Friday, May 23rd, 8:30pm\nADVANCE TICKETS: $20 (+ HST & service charge) BUY TICKETS ( #tickets )\n$25 at the door\n“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…\nAfter 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…\nI 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…\nAnd everyone sings…! Add in me on acoustic guitar and NoElectric lives!\nThe 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!”\n— Stephen Stanley\nSTEPHEN STANLEY\nCanadian singer-songwriter and guitarist Stephen Stanley is best known from his many years as a founding member, lead guitarist and vocalist with alternative rock band The Lowest of the Low. After years of touring and sharing the stage with the likes of Billy Bragg, The Violent Femmes, The Jayhawks and Lloyd Cole, a gold record for their “genuinely timeless album” (Exclaim!) Shakespeare My Butt, Stanley now leads his own band, The Stephen Stanley Band and has logged other monumental shows with 54•40, Bob Mould, Cracker, Jake Clemons and Willie Nile. The band also played at the 2018 Static Roots Festival in Germany and then went on to tour the UK and Ireland. He has also branched into radio, hosting the show Northern Wish on The Bay 88.7 FM in Muskoka, Ontario.`\n\n\nPINER\nPiner (aka Claya Way Brackenbury) is a Singer-Songwriter based in Katarokwi (Kingston, ON, Canada) who steps into the stories of others and connects listeners with all the complexities of the greater human experience.\nHer critically acclaimed 2018 debut album “The Breaking Point” showed “a display of pure confidence and vulnerability” said Mac Cameron, Dominionated. Her full-band EP “Root Bound” recorded at North Of Princess Studios in Kingston, ON was released in June 2019. Piner’s latest album, “A Netherworld”, recorded at Joel Plaskett’s Studio in Dartmouth, NS, is a project of hope and yearning, during fractured, challenging times. Piner creates a world of connection, care, and change through her songwriting and direct action for charitable initiatives. “In A Netherworld”, Piner continues to dream of a way forward, to see a new world built from compassion, contemplation and collective care. Piner brought attention and organized events to create care and community for healthcare professionals, raised donations for the Mi’kma’ki Water Walk in NS, worked with the Mutual Aid Garden Network in Kingston to address food insecurity, and raised awareness about the current national housing crisis.  After the release of “A Netherworld” Piner toured opening for and sharing festivals/show bills with: Georgia Harmer, Terra Lightfoot, Charlotte Cornfield, Crash Test Dummies, Skye Wallace, Mo Kenney and more.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cousin Harley
DESCRIPTION:Ready to get your motor running? Well, buckle your seatbelt and prepare for a wild ride with Canada’s premier hillbilly rockers, Cousin Harley!\nVancouver’s Cousin Harley is the rocking hillbilly persona of Gretsch endorsee Paul Pigat – multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, producer and guitarist of epic proportions. Having\nshared the stage with such legendary artists as Brian Setzer, Jeff Beck, James Burton and Jakob Dylan, to name a few, he has a hard-earned reputation for delivering the goods and never disappointing. Cousin Harley is an unstoppable rock ’n’ roll wrecking crew with a blistering, not-to-be-missed live show!\nTheir latest release, Let’s Go, harkens back to their roots as a hard-hitting, virtuosic power trio that’s not afraid to genre-smash everything from Django Reinhardt to Motorhead with no apologies. Cousin Harley can explode like an active volcano, swing like the Basie Band and holler like a lonesome hillbilly in the backwoods of Appalachia, all at the same time! As a result, they have achieved a cult-like following, toured extensively and been featured in music publications worldwide.\n“Cousin Harley holds court … belting out warp-speed rockabilly sounds with occasional surf and klezmer overtones… likely to awaken the sleeping reptile within us all.”\nRon Forbes Roberts, Monday Magazine\n“This collection could fit into any of Quentin Tarantino’s films… if you get a chance to hear Cousin Harley, you will dig it!”\nMonte Nordstrom, Cosmic Debris\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Graven / Melissa Payne
DESCRIPTION:Saturday, March 15th, 8:30pm\nADVANCE TICKETS: $15 BUY TICKETS ( #tickets )\n$20 at the door\nGRAVEN\nOttawa’s Graven is a fan favourite at Hotel Wolfe Island! With 24 albums, EPs and singles under his belt,  Nepean, Ontario-born Matty (Graven) is a passionate wordsmith of song who wears his heart on the sleeve of his melodies. Graven’s newest self produced album “Always Everything” came out in July 2024 and has been his most streamed and downloaded to date. It debuted at #15 on the NACC streaming charts. Recorded mostly in his own basement studio and partially at Raven Street studios in Ottawa, the 8 songs soar softly and sweetly with some heavy layered cinematic soundscapes and overtures, focusing on the societal pressures of relationships. Graven’s last album Simple Complex (2021) was recorded at Fang Studios in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and mixed by Joel Plaskett. Bouncy, jangly and thick with chunky acoustic strumming and fuzz layers, SC charted across many college radio stations in Canada and the USA and was #3 on CKCU FM’s top 50 albums of 2022 (and he was also nominated for a FACES Ottawa award for “Country Artist”. )\nGraven’s 2020 record Years was produced by Jim Bryson (singer songwriter, collaborator with the Tragically Hip and producer of Kathleen Edwards award winning album “Total Freedom”) and helped put his music into new realms. Having toured across Canada thrice, he always has uplifting words and self-love promoting songs of support for anyone at his shows and his dedicated fan-base (who have dubbed themselves as  “Graventown”). Whether solo, duo, trio or with his magical 5 man band (dubbed The New Band), Matty’s performances are raw, entertaining and warm. He has shared stages and opened for acts such as Jim Bryson, Sloan, The Killjoys, Steve Poltz, Danny Michel, Sarah Harmer, Elliott Brood, Kathryn Calder (New Pornographers), Great Lake Swimmers, Melissa Payne, Stephen Stanley and Ron Hawkins (Lowest of the Low) and many more. Graven always tries to create a highly accepting and inclusive community and his music has become a safe-haven for anyone and everyone who wants to be their real-self without judgement. https://www.gravencanada.com/\n\n\nMELISSA PAYNE\nMelissa Payne, hailing from Ennismore, Ontario, has made a lasting impact on the music scene, and her journey has only just begun. Originally rooted in old-time fiddle and traditional Celtic music, Melissa has now blossomed into a successful solo artist with three full-length albums under her belt.\nMelissa’s live performances have garnered critical acclaim, and she has had the privilege of collaborating with some of Canada’s biggest names in music. Notable guest collaborators include Blue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor, James McKenty, Matt Mays, Natalie MacMaster, cellist Nathaniel Smith, and Jimmy Bowskill, showcasing her ability to work with renowned artists.\nHer latest single, “So Real,” has been receiving positive reviews and is a testament to her honest and vulnerable approach to songwriting.

SUMMARY:Kentucky (Album Release Show!)
DESCRIPTION:This is an album release show for the band Kentucky!\nIn a dim corner of a small-town kitchen, the old radio still hums—its dial gently drifting, as if searching for whispered secrets buried between distant stations.\nThis is where Jordan Holman, known to the world as Kentucky, sets the stage for something that feels almost otherworldly, like a signal carried on a faint, ethereal frequency.\nBased now in Almonte, Ontario, he finds himself drawn to transmissions arriving at odd hours—fully formed melodies, instructions in dream language, or fragments of lyric caught in that charged space just before dawn.\n\n\nBorn in Edmonton, he was raised with music woven deep into the fabric of his childhood, and by his teenage years, he’d traded the violin for a guitar, staying up late to dissect records as if they contained some ancient magic. He once traveled across Canada, the U.S., and even the U.K., performing in DIY bands, savouring a deal with Universal Music Canada, and glimpsing the big stages he’d always imagined.\nYet that initial taste of stardom proved illusory, slipping away until life itself nearly slipped from his grasp.\nWhen his heart stopped in 2020, it was a sudden hush on the airwaves—terrifying, but also an opening for a new signal to break through.\nKentucky emerged in 2023, marked by the debut single, “Wonder,” a piece of music that captured something beyond mere sound: a bittersweet glow, a rekindling of an old, essential magic that once made the great artists seem touched by other worlds. Eight more releases followed, including “America, The Beautiful,” each one like an artifact from that mystical static, part of a carefully charted path leading from darkness toward a more illuminated horizon.\nBy 2024, Kentucky’s live performances—over 100 shows across Ontario, Quebec, and back home in Edmonton—carried a visceral energy. Just a man, his guitar, and an audience, all drifting together toward a shared frequency. He works alone, writing, producing, mixing, and mastering his songs, guided by influences such as R.E.M., The Tragically Hip, and Peter Gabriel.\nThrough acoustic rock and indie folk, he seeks to restore the elusive enchantment that once adorned music, reminding us that art can transcend time and place, whispering universal truths with a spectral elegance.\nNow, with the debut album Second Chance Music slated for Spring 2025, Kentucky stands at the threshold of something both deeply personal and curiously timeless. Tracks like “No More Tomorrows” and “The First Day of the Rest of My Life” share not just stories of survival and rebirth, but a tangible sense that in these notes lie old spells rekindled.\nHe plans a houseboat tour of the Rideau Canal and festival appearances that will invite listeners to feel, rather than simply hear, these transmissions.\nThe songs ask only that we tune our ears and hearts toward something half-remembered—an artistry steeped in hushed wonder and ancient possibility.\nLater, as dusk settles, the radio’s soft crackle continues to search the airwaves.\nIn its static and silence, we sense the presence of Kentucky’s music, reverberating as if from another realm.\nIt’s more than music; it’s a bridge built of notes and dreams, leading us back toward a magic once believed lost, now flickering again in the twilight.\n

SUMMARY:El Balcón
DESCRIPTION:Montreal based Latin fusion ensemble, El Balcón, is a collective that composes and arranges as one. They came together with a common love for traditional music from around the world and a desire to explore new possibilities in acoustic sound and groove.\nThis prolific group began by making creative arrangements of traditional tunes from Mexico, where lead singer Valeria Del Marre comes from. They have evolved to composing strictly original and innovative music that still keeps the acoustic spirit of the traditional music that inspires them. Mexican folk instruments like the Jarana, Reguin to and “La Tarima” (Polyrhythm foot board for traditional rhythmic dancing) blend with microtonal melodies of the east on the violin and oud. All grounded with the earthy touch of an upright bass and an array of masterful percussion including cajon, riqq, pandero, and Kijada del Burro (donkey jaw bone).\nTheir heavily danceable yet unusual rhythms set the stage for the two singers that never sing a song the same twice. To see El Balcon live is to see a band of best friends. This familial connection comes through on stage where their love of creating and playing together shows in their fiery performances. Watch for El Balcón this year as they release their all original 4th album and tour Europe and Mexico.\n\n\n\n

The restless guitar explorations, modal epics, and driving uptempo rags recall the likes of Grant’s pedagogue, Takoma Records, and the path that was paved by his forebears John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Peter Walker, Max Ochs and later Glenn Jones, Steffen Basho-Junghans, Jack Rose, and others.\nBridging that past Grant evokes the pith of the landscape in which he was raised. Personal instrumental memoirs and ruminations on the banks of the Merrimack River. Amoskeag. And the place where the waters flow around it. Salmon tails up the falls and black pearls from the river. The exodus to Stratton-Eustis and the last night on Dead River before the great flood.\n“Although only 25 years old, Liam’s become a leading force in a much needed third wave revival of American Primitive music. Despite his age, Liam’s the very definition of ‘an old soul’ and while he draws on a wide variety of contemporary influences, he also channels a comprehensive history of the blues as well as a deeper energy that informs both his playing and songwriting.”\n— Rob Vaughn, Portland, Oregon – July 2023\nAmoskeag by Liam Grant ( https://carbon-records.bandcamp.com/album/amoskeag )\n

SUMMARY:Frog Eyes / Fortunato Durutti Marinetti
DESCRIPTION:We’re so excited to be hosting this sure to be legendary concert on Wolfe Island!!\nMay 21, 2025 // 8:30pm doors\nAdvance Tickets $20\n(HST & Service Charge included)\nBUY TICKETS ( #tickets )\nFROG EYES\nCult-rock band Frog Eyes announce their second album since reforming in 2021, and their tenth record in a consistently bewildering and inspired catalogue. Formed at the turn of the century in 2001, brushing shoulders with fellow travelers/beloved songwriters and musicians, beloved but never in the dead epicentre of a scene or a marketable, commodified era, this record bursts with a joyful fealty to songs, to albums, to playing the song you want to hear with the people you want to play with in a space that lifts it all up.\nThe Open Up, Frog Eyes’ 10th proper album, was tracked to tape by ace-engineer John Raham (Frazey Ford, Destroyer, Vancouver new-jazz recorder), recorded off-the-floor, with subsequent vocal overdubs and electric guitar and grand piano flourishes. Huffy-puffy rock and roll, open-ended mid-tempo dreaminess, sad and soft love songs: it’s an emotional and spatial journey, and meant to be experienced as an album. Electric guitar, piano-like synthesizer, frantic and frenetic drums and melodic bass fill up the corners and create a foundational support for the words, spit-sung into a special German tube microphone and shuttled out to a Studer tape machine to create the syllabic echoes, and the sounds as they converge in the centre of your speakers make us think of 1995 emo, at times, in its chord structures, a remnant/echo of a youth playing in that specific genre, post-punk in its wired up tautness and Fall-like square edges, weird blues, baby-bad-boy goth rock, and then, in its final third, a spacious rise-up that revels in more “open” modalities.\nObstinately refusing to have any digital devices in the “writing room” in the search for focused daily practice, riffs were recalled if strong, and words written into a D & D map book (the principal songwriter does not read music formally and relies on memory and triad chord shapes). Penned in the years of late 2023 and early 2024—tough, ugly years like so many years before them (sure), but, for the creators, feeling especiallytough and ugly. Existential/ecological dread and jubilant hope/love are its two poles, a push-pull tension that mirrors the push-pull tension between rhythm and melody. Nine songs written for the record, and one last song written as a devotion song.\nUnderneath, (as in an underground river), the entire project, starting in 2001 and coming up on a 25th silver jubilee, is a flowing devotion to the idea of the album, the idea that a collection of songs could work together to create a body of meaning beyond each individual tune; absent are any overarching themes or conceits, present is a flood of pondering, of noticing, of trying to work it out, the sound of two years of blinking. Personnel are: Ryan Beattie, bass (and singing); Shyla Seller, Keys; Melanie Campbell, Drums; Carey Mercer, Guitar (and singing).\n\nFORTUNATO DURUTTI MARINETTI\nBorn in Turin and based in Toronto, Daniel Colussi has been playing in underground bands within various subterranean communities for the last twenty years. Adopting the nom de guerre Fortunato Durutti Marinetti, he self-released the Desire cassette in 2020, which was quickly followed with Memory’s Fool (Soft Abuse/Bobo Integral) in 2022 and the Desire LP (Second Spring), also 2022. The third Fortunato Durutti Marinetti album is titled Eight Waves In Search Of An Ocean and it arrives November 2023 via Quindi Records and Soft Abuse.\nColussi draws inspiration from the restless, explorative spirit of 1970s songwriters such as Robert Wyatt, Annette Peacock and Lou Reed — artists more committed to the spirit of their own individual expression than to genre tropes.\nWorking with producer Sandro Perri, the intention with Eight Waves In Search Of An Ocean was to pursue an organic-hybridity in which synthesizers, saxophones and violins coalesce into a unified whole.\nEight Waves In Search Of An Ocean by Fortunato Durutti Marinetti ( https://fortunatoduruttimarinetti.bandcamp.com/album/eight-waves-in-search-of-an-ocean-2 )\n

SUMMARY:The Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Nothing says FUN like a live show with the modern roots reggae sound of The Human Rights!\nNow with opening special guests ACHE, from Kingston!\nAdvance ticket sales have ended, admission at the door is still available.\nDOORS: 7pm\nSHOW: 7:45pm – ACHE // 8:30pm The Human Rights\nADVANCE TICKETS: $20 + HST & service charge ($23.50) BUY TICKETS ( #tickets )\n$30 at the door\nThe Human Rights first came together in 2007, around the talents and vision of lead singer and Toronto Reggae lion Friendlyness (Big Sugar, Culture Shock, Truth And Rights), drummer Eric Woolston (Maylee Todd, The Hooded Fang), versatile bassman Tyler Wagler and the band’s original keyboardist Bernie Pitters (Toots & The Maytals, Hit Squad), who passed away in 2023 and in whose loving memory the band continues forward. The band quickly gained a reputation as an up-and-coming original band warming the stage for the likes of The Wailers, Gregory Isaacs, Beres Hammond, John Holt, Freddie McGregor, Sanchez, and other top international Reggae artists. The Human Rights recently had the opportunity to open for American roots-rock legends The Black Crowes at Casino Rama in front of over 5,000 people.\nIn 2014, much-loved Toronto vocalist Tréson (who has recorded with the likes of Black Uhuru, Spearhead, and Mykal Rose) joined the band, giving The Human Rights a distinctively powerful two-man front line that seamlessly moves between modern roots Reggae, lovers rock, soul, R&B and dancehall vibes. After Bernie’s health prevented him from touring, Canadian keyboard legend Dave Jackson stepped in. The Declaration of Human Rights horn section is the musical icing on the cake, featuring members of The Heavyweights Brass Band, Kune, and Shout – The Band.\nThe Human Rights have played over 250 festival and club shows across Canada and the United States. Their live highlights include: The New Orleans Reggae Festival, Austin Reggae Festival, Hillside, Northern Lights, Harbourfront Centre, Roy Thomson Hall, The Phoenix Concert Theatre and many other top venues across North America. They have released three full-length albums, including their 2016 self-titled record which was produced by Canadian music icon and Big Sugar founder Gordie Johnson and their most recent LP Reggae Strong (2021) which is dedicated to Bernie Pitters. Their fourth album One People is scheduled for release March 7, 2025.\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Good Co. / Daryl Hannah
DESCRIPTION:\nGOOD CO. (Kingston): Good Co. is an Alt-Country band from Kingston, Ontario. What began as a solo songwriting project by Cody Allen James has evolved into a bonafide country rock outfit founded on a simple principle: write good songs and play them well. While they, of course, draw from the masters of the craft: Bob Dylan, John Prine, Gram Parsons, and The Rolling Stones, Good Co. has also been unavoidably influenced by more contemporary artists such as Neutral Milk Hotel, Deer Tick, and Demon’s Claws to name a few.\n\n\n\n\nDARYL HANNAH (Toronto): Darryl Hannah’s music is a fusion of contrasting elements, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new. Their use of pedal steel guitar pays homage to the classic country sound, while their incorporation of drum machines and synthesizers adds a modern, psychedelic twist. The result is a captivating mix of twangy melodies, dreamy soundscapes, and infectious beats that invite listeners to lose themselves in the music.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Brass Over Tea Kettle
DESCRIPTION:Brass over Tea Kettle \n– Turning up the Heat with Brassy Guilty Pleasures in Kingston –\nFormed in the summer of 2023, Brass Over Tea Kettle began with four swing band musicians from Kingston, Ontario, who shared a vision: create a high-energy brass band that could bring joyful, foot-stomping, music to venues of all sizes, from cozy pubs to large festivals. Inspired by the iconic brass bands of New Orleans, they searched far and wide for pop and dance music charts to build their repertoire and eventually started creating their own arrangements and mashups.\nIn the spring of 2024, their dream ensemble fell into place when they found their missing piece: a tuba player who delivered thunderous bass lines and unforgettable solos. To sweeten the deal, the tuba player also brought along a drummer friend, completing the six-piece band.\nNow, Brass Over Tea Kettle specializes in instrumental fusions of pop and dance club hits, filling every room with infectious energy. But the fun doesn’t stop there—when the mood strikes, they invite singer friends to join them on stage for electrifying vocal performances, adding an extra layer of excitement to their shows.\nWhether it’s a chart-topping anthem or a dance floor classic, audiences will immediately recognize their favourite songs, but with a fresh, brass-infused twist. From Billie Eilish to Abba, you’ll be humming along before you know it, as the band transforms familiar hits into a high-energy celebration that’s impossible to resist. Kingston’s music scene has never sounded this fun!\nhttps://brassoverteakettle.com ( https://brassoverteakettle.com )\n \n

SUMMARY:Bill Kirchen’s Honky Tonk Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:ADVANCE TICKETS: $40 + HST & service charge\nBUY TICKETS ( #tickets )\nBill Kirchen and his Turtle Doves will make a stop on their annual Honky Tonk Holiday Tour at Hotel Wolfe Island on Sunday December 1. Featured is a sleigh-full of rarely heard holiday numbers from the blues, rock ‘n’ roll and honky tonk bags: “Silent Surfin’ Night,” “Truckin’ Trees for Christmas,” “Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin,” and more. But be ye not afraid, there’ll be so much more than holiday songs of questionable taste; you can count on a truckload of dieselbilly classics, rockers, and country weepers to take the edge off the holiday fuss. So mark your calendars and check ’em twice – Santa Claus is back in town! Kirchen is touring with his all-star Texas guys – Jack Saunders on bass and Rick Richards on drums.\nSUNDAY DINNER\nJoin us before the show for our cozy Sunday night dinner ( https://hotelwolfeisland.com/events/sunday-dinner-fall-2024/ ) — hearty meals, table linens, and relaxing service. This week – COQ AU VIN – red wine braised chicken legs, roasted pearl onion & mushroom, white truffle and chive yukon gold mashed potato.\nBILL KIRCHEN\nGrammy-nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide, and elicit instant recognition. Named a “Titan of the Telecaster” by Guitar Player Magazine, he celebrates a musical tradition that embraces rock ‘n’ roll, blues and bluegrass, Texas Western swing and California honky-tonk. Nick Lowe describes Bill as “… a devastating culmination of the elegant and funky… a really sensational musician, with enormous depth.”\nAs a founding father of the proto-Americana group Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, Kirchen wrought a diesel-fueled guitar hook that drove their Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top 10 nationwide. Kirchen went on to the Grammys where he was nominated for Best Country Instrumental in 2001.\nHe has recorded with Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, Hoyt Axton, Hazel Dickens, Gene Vincent and Link Wray, and  has toured the world as guitarist with Cody, Nick Lowe, Hoyt Axton and Emmylou Harris.\nBill Kirchen was inducted into the Hall Of Fame of the Washington DC Wammie Music Awards in 2001, alongside Dave Grohl and John Phillip Sousa. He joined a remarkable list of prior inductees including Bo Diddly, Duke Ellington, Ruth Brown, Marvin Gaye, Patsy Cline, Shirley Horn, Emmylou Harris, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady.\nHis recent disc, Transatlanticana, entered the Americana Radio Chart Top 10 in 2018, joining his extensive catalogue of over 2 dozen albums, from the Commander Cody discs on through his current 12 releases on the Proper and Last Music Company labels. Bill’s latest releases are Back from the Ozone, a Lost Planet Airmen reunion CD out in October 2023 and, from 2021,  the LPs Waxworks and Tombstone Every Mile, along with The Proper Years and Tombstone on CD and in all digital formats, all on the Last Music Company label.\nWashington Post:  “Seldom has traveling across the rock and country landscape been this much fun”\nGuitar Player magazine: “The Titan of the Telecaster…cuts loose with some of the fattest, gnarliest low-down twang imaginable”\nRolling Stone: “A musical treasure, a fantastic player, and, in these roots-conscious times, very much a pioneer, Bill Kirchen is one of our best.”\nhttps://www.billkirchen.com/official\n \n\n \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Clay Pigeon
DESCRIPTION:James Clayton, known as clay pigeon, is a singer-songwriter bringing us a refreshingly\nmeaningful glimpse into his perspective through his first full release under the new moniker. A\nlife-long musician, Clayton has played in various friend’s bands, something which led his journey\nalong to the creation of this album as a solo artist. Throughout the course of 2020, the artist’s\nrelationship to music was changed through a waterfall of life events and an online song-writing\ncourse led by an artist he admired. This is where he wrote the first track for the album, “Here &\nNow,” planting the seed for what would grow to be The Aching Taste of Blue.\nThe album carries a blue tinged bluntness about the fact of being sad, something we all too\noften skirt around. There is a sense of gentle angst woven through the lyrics and melodies,\naccompanied by honesty, vulnerability and comfort. Clayton lays out the feeling of sadness on\nthe table through lyrics like “dive into the junction of our memories” [“The Stoned Song”], and\n“I’m just tired from sleeping” [“Bright Blue”] – all backed by stable, comforting melodies. The tone\nof the album ebbs and flows, with some gentle tunes, and some more ‘call it as it is’ heavy\nhitters like “Feel Okay,” but they all follow a similar overarching theme. As stated by Clayton in\nthe album’s description, “These songs are blue and feel sad, because I’m sad, and I imagine you’re sad too, in your own way.”- CJLO [Sept 2024]\nThe Aching Taste of Blue by clay pigeon ( https://claypigeonmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-aching-taste-of-blue )\n

SUMMARY:Thresher / Hieronymus Harry /  Matthew Dunn
DESCRIPTION:Thresher\nFusing elements of kosmische music, free jazz, and post-rock Thresher (Owen Sound, ON) offers a bad trip wrapped in a security blanket. Pushing you to the brink like a disastrous meditation, cacophonous saxophone, noise-rock-inspired guitar, and tape loops, ensure Thresher gives a unique take on improvised music.\nThresher by Thresher ( https://ownsoundrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/thresher )\nHieronymus Harry\nHieronymus Harry is Harrison Forman. He is a Toronto (Canada) based artist drawing inspiration from all different variations/admixtures of Folk music. Acid folk, experimental folk, freak folk, progressive folk, psychedelic folk. So, naturally, Hieronymus Harry is a deeply 60s-influenced musician, so immediately he caught our attention! “The River Of Doom” was originally released independently on cassette and digitally on November 11th, 2022, and finally after almost one year, 3 different independent labels collaborated for its vinyl release!\n\n“Harry’s music conjures madcap, mystical worlds through naturalistic acoustical performances” … “Harry’s debut album The River of Doom is an odyssey of spellbound surrealistic, outsider folk songs that wholeheartedly embrace weirdness and the present self”…\n\n\n\nMatthew Dunn \nMatthew “Doc” Dunn is a revered name in underground music circles. From his hometown of Toronto, the polymath multi-instrumentalist has produced a prolific body of work spanning solo releases and collaborations with Jennifer Castle, Kevin Morby, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Woods, and many more. As a member of Matt Valentine and Erika Elder’s (MV & EE) band The Golden Road, he has toured the globe while appearing on countless recordings. This led to the formation of Dunn’s eight-piece ensemble, The Cosmic Range (featuring members from projects as diverse as Lido Pimienta, Sandro Perri, and John Zorn), who earned critical acclaim as U.S. Girls’ backing band on her 2018 album, In A Poem Unlimited.\nWhile he has long been celebrated for his instrumental virtuosity, Dunn’s parallel talents as a singer-songwriter were revealed on his recent series of solo albums.\n

SUMMARY:Wedding (band) / Kram Geofferson
DESCRIPTION:Wedding\nHailing from Kelowna, B.C., 22 year-old Walt Mudie seeks to express the ambiguity present in everyday life through melody, rhythm, & texture. The Wedding sound is littered with contrasting stylistic choices. Washy electronic music, angular indie rock, and alternative hip hop all peek through the haze in Mudie’s eclectic production, pointing to his experiences working in each respective musical style. His music is as much inspired by dreamy acts, like Broadcast and Alex G, as it is by acoustic music, such as Andy Shauf and Joni Mitchell.\n\nKram Geofferson\nA Toronto native residing in Kingston, Kram Geoffersson is the solo project of 22 year-old multi-instrumentalist / producer Cole Kapoor. After releasing a debut mixtape last year, the project’s focus is more on a live show and creating new sounds there. The aim is to fuse together anything and everything within the music and art world, with an emphasis on live mixing, ambient, and hip-hop. The performance is for MaxMSP, mixer, KAOSS pad, guitar, and effects.\n\n

SUMMARY:Sarah Segal-Lazar
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Segal-Lazar has been making music since before she could talk. Folks say she took her first steps in 3/4 time. By the time she was nine, she was sending songs into the local radio station.\nAt nineteen, she moved to the City That Never Sleeps, that Concrete Jungle we call Gotham, to study the art of acting. But she couldn’t leave the music behind. She started playing in dive bars in the Lower East Side and jazz bars in Greenwich Village. She would have stayed forever if Uncle Sam hadn’t come knocking when her visa expired. Not wanting to be an actual outlaw, she packed her bags and headed north.\nUpon crossing back over the 49th parallel, Sarah took her love of music and her love of theatre, hitched them together, and created her award-winning company, Sermo Scomber. She’s gone on to release her own music, as well as compose for others. Her songs have even been featured on CBC’s As It Happens multiple times—one of Sarah’s proudest moments. Dancing at the crossroads where folk and country meet, reviewers have called her music “simply mesmerizing” and “so gorgeous, they made the air go still.“\nThese days, the Femme Fatale of Folk splits her time between the busy streets of Montreal and the red shores of PEI—and sharing her tunes wherever the wind may take her. Her latest album VALLEYS, produced by Canadian folk luminary Matthew Barber, is out now.\nSarah was just nominated for Folk Music Ontario’s 2024 Recording Artist of the Year, with the winners to be announced in October.\n\n

SUMMARY:David James Allen / Brothers Gently
DESCRIPTION:ADMISSION: PWYC at the show / $20 Suggested\nListening to David James Allen, it often feels as if he channeling every cool record you’ve ever owned. Built upon a rootsy funkiness that’s part JJ Cale and The Band, accentuated with shades of Daptone and Bill Withers, his songs spin off into emotional realms populated by the likes of Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and Harry Nilsson. As with all great art, the magic is conjured through alchemy, and more importantly, through a connection to a level of consciousness few of us have the capacity to access.\nDavid James Allen has been releasing music for more than a decade, but over the past five years—after moving eastward from Toronto to the wilds of Prince Edward County—he has been startlingly prolific. Beginning with 2017’s When The Demons Come and carrying on through 2020’s Radiations and the following year’s The Architect, Allen has been steadily amassing a remarkable body of work that stands alongside those of any of his Canadian contemporaries. Now comes By The Summertime, an album that keeps Allen’s winning streak solidly intact. Allen cites Canadian poets Al Purdy and Nelson Ball for inspiring many of his new lyrics, but he could surely write his own book based on the backstories to each song on By The Summertime. Finding the sweet spot between simplicity and boundary pushing is a goal many artists seek with varying degrees of success. For David James Allen though, it just seems to be where he naturally resides.\n“Allen’s voice is tangibly honest, engulfed in expressive guitar touchings and colorful steel shading. “For The Times” is a calling out, an emotional release of poetic design that rekindles the sunnyside-up twang stylings of Marty Stuart and Dwight Yoakam.”\n– Glide Magazine (U.S.A)\n“Radiations effortlessly combines Allen’s literary songwriting with late 60’s/70’s baroque pop, country, folk, and psych sounds resulting in a polished and multifaceted album that is warm, reflective, and has light melancholic undertones… a deeply satisfying listen.”\n– Record Dept (U.S.A)\n“The haunting and enchanting chorus of “I want you” is enough to hypnotize and send you into another dimension. The echoing vocals and wailing violin are like morphine to the ears, just easing any immediate pain and discomfort. Allen offers some kind of cosmic combination of Leonard Cohen-meets-Pink Floyd-meets-Gene Ween…”\n– Music Mecca (U.S.A)\n“Wonderful sounds that hearken to that same creative bag [of] Nilsson and to later John Lennon [DJA’s music] … is not steeped in current indie tropes, [it’s] music that [has] earnest wonderfully askew poetry delivered with a voice that has it’s own unique persona..”\n– American Pancake (U.S.A)\n“Effortlessly blending country, folk, psych and pop sounds into a wonderful kaleidoscopic sound that could easily exist in any of the last six decades.” \n– Post To Wire (Australia)\n“[When The Demons Come is] a stone cold brilliant album that absolutely should not become a tiny footnote of, in this case, Canada and Toronto’s (and even broader) music history.” \n– The Spill Magazine (Canada)\n“[David James Allen’s] rich and brooding voice is brimming with a sombre wisdom well beyond his years.” \n– Colorado National Radio (U.S.A)\nInstagram // Facebook // Official Website // Bandcamp // Spotify\n \n\n\nTHE BROTHERS GENTLY\nOpening the show are The Brothers Gently — A bizarre ride to the inside of a soul. Sinners, songwriters, poets, voice actors from Sydenham, Ontario. Left and Befter Gently’s debut album, The Pint of No Return, is now available.\n \n\n

SUMMARY:The Art of Visiting – Lisa Jackson’s Biidaaban: First Light
DESCRIPTION:LodgePole Arts Alliance is proud to be hosting THE ART OF VISITING, a National Indigenous Presenters Gathering, with these select FREE events open to the public at The Hotel Wolfe Island and the Tett Centre.\nMore information: The Art of Visiting\nLISA JACKSON’S BIIDAABAN: FIRST LIGHT\nTuesday to Thursday during Hotel operating hours\nCreated by Anishinaabe artist Lisa Jackson, Biidaaban: First Light is a work of Indigenous futurism that explores how Indigenous languages can provide a framework for understanding the user’s place in the world and open up a space for new imaginings of the future. The experience takes place in future Toronto, once known as Tkaronto, that has been reclaimed by nature. The town square has flooded, buildings and subways have merged with local flora, and Indigenous languages and knowledge are thriving in a radically different Tkaronto. As users move through the space, they hear Indigenous languages traditionally spoken in the region. Users engage with written text of the Wendat (Huron), Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) and Anishinaabe (Ojibway) through gaze-based interactions and gain insight into the complex thought systems of this land’s First Peoples.\nBiidaaban: First Light illuminates how Indigenous languages can provide a framework for understanding our place in a reconciled version of Canada’s largest urban environment. The importance of language for understanding Indigenous perspectives is one of the main themes of the piece. As Indigenous languages risk disappearing, we risk losing what they have to teach us.\n\nWelcome to The Art of Visiting!\nJoin LodgePole Arts Alliance from Monday, October 7, 2024, at 12:00 PM until Thursday, October 10, 2024, at 3:00 PM for three days of connection on Wolfe Island and Katarohkwi/Kingston, Ontario.\nWe invite Indigenous and Treaty-partner (non-Indigenous) presenters, artists, and agents from across the nation to visit our land and engage in informative panel discussions, interactive workshops, and inspiring performances.\nOur focus for this event is to be on the land, enjoy the spectacular colours of the harvest season, and build a relational exchange of knowledge and creativity rooted in respectful reciprocity.\nThe Art of Visiting is free for Indigenous arts sector representatives, and Indigenous Presenters are encouraged to reach out to us to explore financial support for attending.

In the 1990s she performed with the bluegrass band Heartbreak Hill. Just prior to that band’s breakup, she released her self-titled debut album in 2001, and followed up with Hopetown in 2004. Both albums won the Juno Award for Best Roots & Traditional Album of the Year. For Jenny’s latest recording, “The Original Jenny Whiteley”, she was been inspired to channel her early influences and musical life, includes several originals “in the style” of early jazz, jug band and old time music.\nhttp://jennywhiteley.com/\n\n\nLUTHER WRIGHT\nLuther Wright’s ( https://wolfeislandrecords.com/lutherwright/ ) music revisits the classic country stomping-grounds, from the weepers to the two steppers, with satire, originality and frankness.\nLuther Wright has been writing, recording and performing music for over 30 years now, from garage/punk outfit The Mugworts, to lead guitar in Sarah Harmer’s pop-rock band, Weeping Tile (WEA/Atlantic), to his own Luther Wright & The Wrongs, known on one hand for their brilliantly executed, country/bluegrass reworking of Pink Floyd’s classic The Wall, as well as six all-original albums, and to boot, they made two cds of original children’s music under the guise of Butterfingers.\n\n\nSAM ALLISON\nSam Allison is a film and TV composer, music producer and multi-instrumentalist having been in demand as a session and touring musician playing guitar, upright bass and banjo for Sheesham and Lotus, Sarah Harmer, Jenny Whiteley, Esmerine, The Silver Hearts, Serena Ryder, The Royal Jelly Orchestra and dozens more over the past couple of decades.\n

SUMMARY:Melissa Lauren
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Lauren wants to be heard. And not just because of My Voice, her dazzling new jazz-pop crossover gem. The singer-songwriter’s third album is her most accomplished to date and yes, you bet she wants it heard.\nBut her mission is larger than that. As Lauren explains, if there’s an overarching theme to the new album’s 11 songs —a mix of originals and thoughtfully selected covers all expertly helmed by producer, mixer, and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Emond (Tyler Shaw, Alessia Cara, Matt Dusk) — it’s “the boundaries that get in the way of communicating.”\nAt the centre of it all is Lauren’s crystal clear, emotive voice which is almost otherworldly in its range. So dexterous are Lauren’s performances that a song by Rufus Wainwright (“Oh What A World”) makes perfect sense alongside one by Cole Porter (“Easy to Love”), another by Irving Berlin (“What’ll I Do”), a Jann Arden pop hit (“Insensitive”) plus Lauren’s own compositions chronicling life in all its messy, lovely, weird, infuriating grandeur.\n“Jazz is my first love, and those standards were important to include,” she says, adding — take note jazz fans — that she wrote her own intro for “What’ll I Do” and a set of alternate lyrics to Walter Donaldson’s “My Blue Heaven,” dedicated to her husband and which daughter Leah abetted.\nLauren continues: “At the same time, I think there’s something for everyone on this album. Musically, I can grab people who might not typically like jazz while lyrically, there are conversations almost everyone has had at some point in their life. My Voice dances between new and old, jazz and pop.”\nIndeed, the album does waltz between intriguing themes and shape-shifting aural landscapes. Take the first single, the gently orchestral, undulating Lauren original “The Day We Stopped.” The song was sparked by a moment of mentally stepping outside of a heavy conflict with her husband, to take a minute to feel the sun. “That song was raw and very much in the moment,” she says.\n\nwww.melissalaurenmusic.ca\n

SUMMARY:Michael Duguay Album Release
DESCRIPTION:Since the early 2000’s, the Canadian singer, composer and producer Michael Cloud Duguay has been weaving his curious aural nest with stray bits plucked from country music, rock, traditional musics, electronic genres, jazz of all stripes, spiritual music, and assorted experimentalisms. His approach has always been immediately recognizable and affable to the ears, but also strange and bewildering. Equally disarming has been the habitual candour with which he speaks about his struggles with mental health, addiction, and homelessness.\nAs such, at first blush the title of his forthcoming LP Succeeder might seem glib or self-effacing. In actual fact, it extends directly from his characteristic frankness. The record unabashedly celebrates where he came from and his future trajectory as well as his community. Fittingly, it also serves to announce Watch That Ends The Night, his new label alongside lauded Nova Scotian musician Andrew McKelvie (New Hermitage, Scions, Jerry Granelli).\n\nDuguay cut his teeth as a member of several high-profile indie groups including the Burning Hell. Yet as a solo artist he had cultivated such momentum around his work that by the time his sweeping, aptly-titled debut album Heavy On The Glory (2012) surfaced, many regarded it as “long overdue.” Following almost a decade of silence on account of his aforementioned health issues, Duguay returned in 2020 with a pair of EPs and his second album The Winter Of Our Discotheque which confronted its preceding period of instability head-on.\nThe process around his third release, Saint Maybe, began with considerable promise and even major label support, but after forced changes in personnel things became increasingly fraught and the album’s release was delayed by several years. Midway through the album’s press cycle Duguay yanked the record out of circulation, frustrated with how distant it all felt from his initial intentions.\nThus Suceeder is an affirmation of working on one’s own terms and with one’s own resources. It’s also a meditation on the subject of home—growing up, leaving and even returning. In fact, the gestation of the record culminated in Duguay moving back to his hometown of Peterborough, Ontario in May of 2023.\nIn some regards, the album continues to mine the sumptuous, expansive rootsiness of Duguay’s earlier albums, yet also gestures toward the more outward experimentation of several of his upcoming projects through its careful, yearning ambiences. The album’s underlying creative process started in spring 2020 when Duguay concocted a songwriting exercise to stoke his creativity and occupy his mind under the duress of the pandemic. He set out to compose one piece of music about every house or institution he had ever lived in—anywhere he received mail or slept for more than 90 consecutive nights. Ultimately yielding upwards of fifty individual compositions, Duguay reflected on the resultant body of work and sharpened his focus looking at only the songs pertaining to his upbringing and time in and out of his hometown, which he had left around the time when his personal obstacles had become untenable. Given the subject matter of the collection, it became clear that recording it in Peterborough and enlisting a cast of local musicians that he knew from its community was the best way to present the material.\nThe nucleus of his new ensemble comprised a rhythm section of collaborators from the Kingston/Wolfe Island area where he was living during the album’s initial phases. Duguay had been awarded Kingston, Ontario’s very first artist-in-residence position and used this opportunity to workshop the album’s material. Around them, he gathered a large group of performers that represented the entire spectrum of his Peterborough experience including old high school bandmates, musical heroes from his teenage years, and his best friend from University. He even included his first piano teacher George  Bertok (aka Bertokia), as well as a musician that he had met at his very last show before the lockdowns, Erika Nininger, who plays piano and contributes compositions and arrangements to the record. The vocalist Cormac Culkeen, best known for their poignant work as half of Joyful Joyful, played a crucial role on the LP. “Cormac’s voice is a sound that I most closely associate with my adolescence in this community,” notes Duguay of his longtime collaborator. In addition to offering their distinctive otherworldly singing on nearly every cut, Culkeen also coordinated the core sessions for the album at All Saints Anglican Church, where they are a member of the ministry team. Despite being primarily a product of lockdown-era necessity, these five days of live sessions with the nine-piece band captured in the church’s sanctuary elegantly amplify the spiritual tenor that’s long been a key feature of Duguay’s music.\nThe varied background and instrumentation of the musicians involved also propels Duguay’s vision—various credits include the likes of Esmerine, Ani Difranco, Utah Phillips, U.S. Girls, Bob Wiseman, Silver Hearts, Ron Sexsmith, John Southworth. Duguay’s stated intention was to produce a sort of “experimental heartland totalism” as he calls it; an amalgam of sounds that recontextualizes aspects of Americana amidst more atmospheric and abstract elements.\nFor all the album’s languid twang and rustic contemplation, it’s worth noting that an acoustic guitar only appears on the album once for a mere five seconds and almost half of the material is instrumental. The sonic landscape is in fact populated by all manner of sounds—winds, brass, Duguay’s own accordion, hurdy-gurdy, contrabass, fiddle, jaw harp and even disorienting flashes of electronic coloration. The robust auditory environment that he creates with these forces, as Duguay reveals, was designed to evoke “the nocturnal sounds of [his] coming of age in Peterborough: bar bands, rural fields, late-night kitchen parties, many voices joined in song” bathed in a sort of psychedelic nostalgia. And true to the record’s title, he succeeds in carving out this distinct and powerful emotional space.\nSuceeder is the debut release for the new imprint Watch That Ends The Night, a joint endeavour between himself and award-winning Haligonian saxophonist, improviser and composer Andrew MacKelvie. The label specializes in documenting a distinctive DIY spirit of experimentalism across genres. Its diverse crop of projected releases will present several of Canada’s freshest musical thinkers, united by their staunch commitment to exploration whether through composition, execution or production. MacKelvie and Duguay met through mutual friends in 2019 when both were visiting Canada’s Yukon Territory and subsequently developed a prolific collaborative partnership throughout the pandemic—first online, and then in real life through multiple recording projects and ensembles including Scions, Talismanic Episode Assembly, Many Worlds, and more. Watch That Ends The Night represents the outcome of both artists’ extensive respective histories in community-building, arts curation, and creative music production, and rich collaborative history.\nThe label’s artist-centred mandate includes aims to facilitate the production and release of new, creative, and singular music that might not have found a home elsewhere, help artists achieve what they wish for themselves and to find them an audience, and foster ongoing and immersive collaboration between label artists. They’re also interested to participate within the marketplace, making both digital and physical copies of artists music eminently available, while also working well outside of the exploitative conventions that exist within the music industry.\n

This futuristic hybrid of jazz breaks, folk, rock, ambient, trip-hop, and drum’n’ bass, has made Codex one of the most provocative independent acts coming from the Toronto, Canada music scene.\nBeing the first Canadian artist to independently release a trip-hop-rock-jungle recording on 12″ vinyl, “The Codex Remixes”, Codex also became one of the first Canadian acts signed to Dave Allen (Gang of Four, Shriekback) of LA-based World Domination Recordings label, which then internationally re-released their Canadian debut 12” vinyl along with their first self titled, ‘Codex’ CD. With a library of sorts built on the foundation of various CD and vinyl releases as well as writing for film and television shows (HBO’s ‘Sexbytes’, Chum Media’s OOhLaLa, and the MMVA – Much MusicVideo Awards), Codex are currently recording and performing new material for an upcoming 2024/2025 release. As a Canadian band, Codex are determined to represent the new sound of music from Canada, always keeping an eye on the past, but most certainly always looking towards the future.\ncodexmusic.com ( https://codexmusic.com )\n\n

SUMMARY:Petunia and The Vipers
DESCRIPTION:Petunia and the Vipers bring a show not to miss! \nLouis Armstrong was once asked what his favourite kind of music was, and his response was simple; “Good music”. Petunia & the Vipers’ sound may not sit comfortably in one certain genre, but “Good Music” describes it well.  Hank Williams on acid… Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s Hobo junction… Avant-Country night club scene music… One of the best bands in the world today, of any kind… hillbilly-flavoured-swing inflected-ragtime-goodtime-thunderously rolling-one-of-a-kind-you-don’t-want-to-miss-this-sort-of-a-show… A new music that springboards off of music of the past and jumps into the present day, left with only echoes of the past… Something in between 1920’s and steam punk. It’s good for your mind… These are just a few of the words uttered by folks around the globe trying to pin down a description of all that is Petunia & The Vipers.\nIf one wished to talk about the birth of the blues, one would need to dig into the influences that preceded it’s birth.  The same is true about Petunia & the Vipers. If they followed a recipe and added musical styles as ingredients, it would start by simply adding country and blues, and we’d have your basic dry ingredients right there, but lacking the true essence of their sound.  Mix in a dose of ragtime, some Dixieland jazz, a hint of bebop, some western swing and old time cowboy music, a bit of jug band & string band music. Flavor with a significant dose of Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams, and a bit of Blind Willie McTell, Blind Lemon Jefferson and a few more “Blind” spices.  Now you’ve got the batter for a cake.  Bake on high with the dotted rhythms of Cuban, Mexican, Peruvian, Romanian and African folk music.  Ice the whole cake with some punk rock, alternative and Bowie (who also spins off a host of influences of the UK music past), and you’ve got a delectable musical concoction…part old-tyme, part new times, part no time at all, part all-of-the-time…\nSun Ra said, “the key to freedom is discipline”. You cannot break the rules if you do not understand the rules.  Petunia and the Vipers’ sound is a familiar and yet wholly new music for that reason: they intimately understand the rules of classic Americana music(s) and where the edges of that painting lie…and they refuse to paint inside of the lines at any time. This is a new and modern band playing unadulterated, unclassified, unleashed sounds that rhyme with older sounds of the past, and are furiously driving the future wave of a new idiom.\nhttps://petuniaandthevipers.com/bio/ ( https://petuniaandthevipers.com/bio/ )\n\n \n

After years of touring and sharing the stage with the likes of Billy Bragg, The Violent Femmes, The Jayhawks and Lloyd Cole, a gold record for their “genuinely timeless album” (Exclaim!) Shakespeare My Butt, Stanley now leads his own band, The Stephen Stanley Band and has logged other monumental shows with 54•40, Bob Mould, Cracker, Jake Clemons and Willie Nile. The band also played at the 2018 Static Roots Festival in Germany and then went on to tour the UK and Ireland. He has also branched into radio, hosting the show Northern Wish on The Bay 88.7 FM in Muskoka, Ontario.`\n\n\nGRAVEN\nOttawa’s Graven is a fan favourite at Hotel Wolfe Island! With 16 major releases under his belt, and his latest feature album Simple Complex recorded at Fang Studios in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and mixed by Joel Plaskett, Nepean, Ontario-born Matty McKechnie (Graven) is a passionate wordsmith of song who wears his heart on the sleeve of his melodies. “Simple Complex” charted across many college radio stations in Canada and the USA and was #3 on CKCU FM’s top 50 albums of 2022. His last record Years (2020) was produced by Jim Bryson (singer songwriter and producer of Kathleen Edwards award winning album “Total Freedom”) and helped put his music into new realms. Having toured across Canada thrice, he always has uplifting words and self-love promoting songs of support for anyone at his shows and his dedicated fan-base (who have dubbed themselves as “Graventown”). Graven always tries to create a highly accepting and inclusive community and his music has become a safe-haven for anyone and everyone who wants to be their real-self without judgement. https://www.gravencanada.com/\n\n\n

SUMMARY:BJ Baartmans
DESCRIPTION:A rare North American appearance from Dutch friend of Wolfe Island Records, BJ Baartmans!\n6-8pm, Waterfront Patio stage\nAdmission: PWYC\nBJ Baartmans is a guitarist/singer-songwriter/producer from The Netherlands, born in 1965. Composing and playing music that’s deeply rooted in traditional Americana styles but that also embraces elements from jazz, African desert blues, and more. He’s a gifted storyteller with a very personal way of writing and delivering lyrics, both in Dutch and English. BJ is also a member of The Space Age Travellers, The Matthews Baartmans Conspiracy, Matthews Southern Comfort and Pollux. And he can be heard as a producer and session player for many more artists.\nA little over 25 years after the release of his first solo album The Pawnshop Guitar Chase, BJ Baartmans steps fully into the spotlight with GHOSTWRITER. A record that wasn’t planned, demanded or anything but just needed to be made. It contains 13 songs that have easily recognizable, accessible but at the same time very personal stories, views and beliefs behind it. They cover an already more than 40 year long journey in music with 14 albums under his own name, appearances on hundreds of album sessions and something like 4000 live performances while raising a family, dealing with serious life changing events, making but also losing lifelong friends, chasing dreams and discovering little treasures.\nMaking a list of bands, songwriters, players that came to mind during the sessions for Ghostwriter BJ Baartmans wrote down: Big Star, Slade, Wilco, The Black Keys, Lucinda Williams, Elvis Costello, The Kinks, Tom Petty, Nick Lowe, Richard Thompson. Just to give you an idea. Attending a few energetic live shows during the summer of cool young Dutch bands that BJ’s connected with through his studio work also formed a big inspiration.\n\n

SUMMARY:Jerry Leger
DESCRIPTION:Fresh off some dates with Steve Earle and summer festivals, Jerry Leger has stayed busy since the October 2023 release of his latest album Donlands. The Mark Howard (Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits) produced record came out on the Cowboy Junkies’ label, and was greeted with rave reviews from UK’s Uncut Magazine and Rolling Stone Europe. Leger toured those parts of the world in support of Donlands as well as select Canadian dates, which included his debut on the historic Massey Hall stage in Toronto and a headlining show in its new room, TD Music Hall.\nOne of the country’s most respected singer-songwriters, Ron Sexsmith, says “Leger has that spark in him that all the great songwriters have. He’s the real deal.” For Jerry, the search for the elusive creative spark remains never-ending, but there are always new routes to explore in getting to it. With Donlands, he has made an album that stands as one of the peak moments in an already towering body of work.\n \n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Co-Conspirators
DESCRIPTION:The Co-Conspirators is a Hemmingford, QC based duo playing folk/singer-songwriter music with elements of country, rock, blues, gospel, bluegrass, spiritual, and general roots music. With heavy emphasis on vocal harmonies, this duo had been compared to The Weavers, Ian and Sylvia Tyson and Richard and Linda Thompson. They perform mostly original music along with some traditional and contemporary covers.\nFounded in 2012 by singer/songwriter/guitarist Will Richards, The Co-Conspirators really came into being when Richards met Katherine Simons and they began performing together. Simons comes from a very musical family and is a classically trained french horn player and percussionist. Her pure, angelic voice stands in contrast to the more raw style of Richards’.\nMostly performing as a duo, they do occasionally add various instruments available to them such as bass, drums, percussion, flute, clarinet, lead guitar, violin, cello, harmonica, banjo, auto harp, and vibraphone.\n

SUMMARY:Burs
DESCRIPTION:“Toronto-based folk-rock quartet Burs wash over each moment with absolute warmth and homestyle harmony. Tenderness is maintained as gentle strings trade places with perfectly deployed moments of untamed, cathartic release. Above it all, vocals sway with striking vulnerability through themes of love, grief and the search for peace in the modern condition.” -Sled Island [June 2023]\nBurs is comprised of members Lauren Dillen, Ray Goudy, Devon Savas and Aidan McConnell, all of whom share roles as composers, producers, and multi-instrumentalists. Taking their name from ‘the small things that stick with you’, the band began in 2019 when songwriters Dillen and Goudy met through a Joni Mitchell ensemble in college, inspiring the duo to begin writing together. Through the same program, Dillen and Savas had also shared a handful of collaborations, eventually sparking the wo partnerships to unite. The trio invited McConnell to join Burs in early 2023 after meeting through a musical mutual, Danny Webster, completing a memorable slew of shows as Webster’s backing band.\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/bursmusic ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV4GrUZM074 )\n

SUMMARY:TRÚ
DESCRIPTION:SHOW: 9pm, indoors in the main bar\nADMISSION: PWYC\nThe trú was a mythological trio of poet-musicians who were revered throughout the Celtic world. Some believed their songs and stories came to them from the future while others maintained that the trú were possessed by spirits during performance. As such, they were considered gatekeepers to the Otherworld.\nIt’s here where trio TRÚ draw their inspiration. Michael Mormecha (percussion/vox), Zachary Trouton (guitars/vox) and Dónal Kearney (flute/whistle/vox) come from different musical backgrounds. The three are children of the Peace Agreement in post-conflict Northern Ireland. From their British-Ukrainian and Ulster-Irish heritage, they have inherited an unusual and fruitful ethos based on respect and exploration.\nDespite their individuality and an eclectic repertoire of influences (from Clannad to Nine Inch Nails via Joni Mitchell and The Beatles), the trio’s collective chemistry is enchanting audiences with powerful storytelling and impressive songcraft. Following on from 2021’s critically acclaimed “No Fixed Abode” (MOJO Top 10 Folk Albums & NI Music Prize nomination for Best Album), their 2023 record, “Eternity Near”, fuses the love poetry of Robert Burns with epic sean-nós songs and mixes medieval murder ballads with hints of country and Americana. Eternity Near has been praised with a **** review by MOJO (“their second LP delights in unexpected twists”).\nThese are stories told with a contemporary voice. There is nothing traditional about TRÚ except the songs themselves.\nhttp://www.tru-music.com\nhttps://twitter.com/truband3\nhttps://www.instagram.com/truband3/\nPraise for TRÚ\n“A distinctive, atmospheric debut” – The Guardian\n“A compelling debut” – MOJO\n“A gorgeous, close-harmony folk affair” – Hot Press\n“Clever and precise… evocative and spare” – Songlines\n“Remarkable” – Folk Radio UK / KLOF\n“Absolutely amazing!” – Moya Brennan, Clannad\n“Right on the edge, where folk meets the rest.” – David Lyttle, MOBO Award nominee\n“Amazing” – Lynette Fay, BBC\n“Powerful and moving.” – Tommy Sands, Folk legend\n“Absolutely sublime… if anything they are even better live but as a new trad band these guys can sit alongside Lankum; a different approach to the tradition but no less quality.” – Steve Stockman\nEternity Near by TRÚ ( https://truband3.bandcamp.com/album/eternity-near )\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Bill Kirchen
DESCRIPTION:ADVANCE TICKETS: $40 (tax+fees included) CLICK HERE\nGrammy-nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide, and elicit instant recognition. Named a “Titan of the Telecaster” by Guitar Player Magazine, he celebrates a musical tradition that embraces rock ‘n’ roll, blues and bluegrass, Texas Western swing and California honky-tonk. Nick Lowe describes Bill as “… a devastating culmination of the elegant and funky… a really sensational musician, with enormous depth.”\nAs a founding father of the proto-Americana group Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, Kirchen wrought a diesel-fueled guitar hook that drove their Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top 10 nationwide. Kirchen went on to the Grammys where he was nominated for Best Country Instrumental in 2001.\nHe has recorded with Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, Hoyt Axton, Hazel Dickens, Gene Vincent and Link Wray, and  has toured the world as guitarist with Cody, Nick Lowe, Hoyt Axton and Emmylou Harris.\nBill Kirchen was inducted into the Hall Of Fame of the Washington DC Wammie Music Awards in 2001, alongside Dave Grohl and John Phillip Sousa. He joined a remarkable list of prior inductees including Bo Diddly, Duke Ellington, Ruth Brown, Marvin Gaye, Patsy Cline, Shirley Horn, Emmylou Harris, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady.\nHis 2018 disc, Transatlanticana, entered the Americana Radio Chart Top 10, joining his extensive catalogue of over 2 dozen albums, from the Commander Cody discs on through his current 12 releases on the Proper and Last Music Company labels. Bill’s latest releases are Back from the Ozone, a Lost Planet Airmen reunion CD out in October 2023 and, from 2021,  the LPs Waxworks and Tombstone Every Mile, along with The Proper Years and Tombstone on CD and in all digital formats, all on the Last Music Company label.\nWashington Post:  “Seldom has traveling across the rock and country landscape been this much fun”\nGuitar Player magazine: “The Titan of the Telecaster…cuts loose with some of the fattest, gnarliest low-down twang imaginable”\nRolling Stone: “A musical treasure, a fantastic player, and, in these roots-conscious times, very much a pioneer, Bill Kirchen is one of our best.”\nhttps://www.billkirchen.com/official\n \n\n \n\n

DESCRIPTION:ADMISSION: PWYC\nEdgar Breau and Darryl Gould return to the Hotel Wolfe Island for a fine folk-infused evening, indeed!\nThis time, Darryl will have the wonderful Tammy Levely to accompany his levity and severity on vocals, as well as Hamilton legend, and Simply Saucer alumni, Kevin Christoff on low end foundations!\nEDGAR BREAU (SIMPLY SAUCER)\nIf you know Breau’s name, it’s most likely as leader of Hamilton’s cult punk-prog pioneers Simply Saucer, resurrected from the ’70’s and more powerful than ever these days. If you really know Breau, you’ll know his solo work leans to the acoustic folk side, but with lots of grand washes of instruments and dreamy soundscapes. Schooled in folk song traditions, literary fixations, and the fingerstyle guitar playing of John Fahey, his output spans decades, his song writing encompasses haunting acoustic landscapes woven with poetic lyricism, with “short stories with developed characters, marvelous, laid back sound, trippy and rewarding”  — Bob Mersereau\n“The solo Breau has created a sublimely atmospheric kind of melancholy that will be familiar to acolytes of everyone from Chet Baker to Robert Wyatt.”\n— John Sakamoto, THE TORONTO STAR\nhttps://edgarbreau.com/\nShadows of Ecstasy by Edgar Breau ( https://edgarbreau1.bandcamp.com/album/shadows-of-ecstasy )\n \n\nDARRYL GOULD\nDarryl Gould has worked with members of 13 Engines, Teenage Head, The Killjoys, Simply Saucer, and sang with the Rheostatics at The Horseshoe Tavern’s anniversary show, as well as recorded two records with The Dinner Is Ruined Band.

SUMMARY:Hilario Durán Trio: Oscar Peterson Tribute
DESCRIPTION:ADMISSION: $25 at the door\nThe celebrated Cuban-Canadian Piano Master Hilario Durán, along with Roberto Occhipinti (bass) and Mark Kelso (drums), will honour the music of Oscar Peterson, one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time and one of Canada’s most honoured musicians.\nThe death of Oscar Peterson marked the loss of an incredible human being and a great talent. He was a proud black Canadian whose music has forever shaped our culture and heritage. Peterson’s story will continue to inspire generations to follow their dreams, and the echoes of his dancing fingers will be heard for years and years to come.\nCuban Canadian pianist Hilario Duran, who admired Peterson since he was a child, had the opportunity to study and perform his music, and now, Duran, in a Trio formation, brought his musicianship to the Jazz FM 91.1 airwaves to celebrate Peterson’s musical trajectory at the Oscar Peterson Day.\nThe music to be performed is a compilation of Peterson’s music, with some of Hilario’s compositions influenced by Oscar; the Trio will perform tunes such as “C Jam Blues,” “Wheat Land,” “Bossa Beguine,” “Hymn To Freedom,” and many more. The repertoire also includes music from the Cuban legend Ernesto Lecuona, arranged by Duran but through Peterson’s vision. On some tracks, Cuban rhythms will be fused with the styles of Oscar’s music in a tribute to his name.\nPraise for Hilario Durán:\n“He’s one of a kind, on a genius scale.”\n— Nick Krewen, Toronto Star\n“Passionate, innovative, expressive, dynamic, evocative, sophisticated, genius – superlatives consistently used to describe the towering musicality and virtuosity that is pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader, Hilario Duran.”\n— Sharna Searle, The Whole Note\n\n \nTHE MUSICIANS\nHILARIO DURÁN\nJuno and Grammy 2024 nominee, Finalist of the 2023 Toronto Arts Foundation Award, C.S.A. Nominee 2021 Achievement in Music Original Song – The Cuban Film, winner of the Louis Applebaum Composers Award and winner of various Juno Awards; Hilario Duran is well recognized for his piano playing and composing skills.\nThe Cuban-born grew up in Havana in a musical family surrounded by various musical influences; Peterson’s music was among the most listened to and studied. After making his mark in Cuba, Duran continued to essay his skills as a pianist, producer, composer, arranger and musical director of remarkable virtuosity. As a classically trained pianist, Duran’s art form describes all musical elements; the originality and quality of his music have been influenced by great musicians such as Oscar Peterson, among many others.\nMARK KELSO\nAcclaimed drummer Mark Kelso is not only a skilled musician who plays drums and an assortment of percussion, but his ability to play various musical styles helped him become one of Canada’s most sought-after drummers. In addition, Kelso has amassed a solid reputation as a versatile and musical performer who is now one of the first-call players in the country. Mark’s ability to play a wide variety of musical styles has helped him become one of Canada’s most sought-after drummers.\nROBERTO OCCHIPINTI\nImagination, versatility, and technical excellence describe Canadian bassist Roberto Occhipinti, who has been long recognized for his chameleon-like ability to dig into almost any musical form. Bassist Occhipinti has an established presence in both Canadian and international jazz scenes. A five-time Juno Award recipient, Occhipinti is in demand across an astounding range of contexts. He has enjoyed a productive career primarily as a bassist and secondarily as a producer. The Toronto-born has performed in classical orchestras, jazz ensembles, Latin groups, rhythm & blues outfits, and rock bands throughout his career.\n

SUMMARY:QAIRO
DESCRIPTION:ADMISSION: $25 at the door\n“Qairo’s music knows no boundaries.” — CBC Radio Canada\nQairo is an exhilarating fusion of Flamenco, Turkish music, and Arabic and Balkan influences. The band’s original compositions, enhanced by electronic sounds, showcase Mediterranean traditions with a modern twist, and their movement explores the parallels between flamenco and classical Indian dance. We are transported on a modern Spice Road where powerful, heartfelt flamenco vocals are accompanied by oud or Turkish clarinet, and underlined by danceable beats. Qairo is a musical city without borders, where music and dance fuse and flourish.\nQairo emerged from a desire to blend various styles, creating music that is unique and representative of its members. The name Qairo refers not only to the iconic city of Cairo but also to ‘kairos,’ an ancient Greek concept meaning ‘the right moment, the opportunity to be seized.’\nQairo’s five multicultural artists embrace their unique musical expression, with travel being essential to their creative process. Deborah “La Caramelita” and singer Alejandro Mendía met in Sevilla, Spain in 2009. They joined forces with clarinettist and oud player Dorian Zavatta, who traveled by foot through Europe and the Middle East before settling in Turkey, and now France. Prominent in France’s world music scene, multi-instrumentalist Alex Carrasco enriches Qairo’s music with urban sounds, complemented by jazz-trained drummer Gaétan Diaz.\nThe ensemble, now based in Bordeaux, France, will release their first album in 2025.\nDon’t miss what promises to be a magical night! Their last visit to the Hotel, in November 2022, was a passionate and joyous party of globe-trotting music and dance!\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Emily Triggs
DESCRIPTION:We’re pleased to welcome Emily Triggs back to the Hotel Wolfe Island!\nThere are a few specific reasons why Emily Triggs titled her new album The Great Escape, the main one being that the 13-song collection represents a break from old ways of thinking that the Montreal born, Calgary-based Americana singer/songwriter says have held her back both artistically and personally. With her new material, Triggs set out to challenge herself by ignoring any genre restrictions, and the result is her most honest and empowering album to date.\n\n\n\nhttps://www.emilytriggs.com\nThe Great Escape was produced by longtime Neko Case collaborator Paul Rigby, who also played a multitude of instruments on the album. Also contributing to the sessions in Vancouver were engineer/multi-instrumentalist Dave Carswell (Destroyer, The Evaporators), bassist Darren Paris (Frazey Ford), drummer Geoff Hicks (Colin James) and engineer Erik Nielsen (City and Colour). By coincidence, one of the studios where they recorded, Afterlife, was near where Triggs’ father Stanley recorded traditional folk songs on a houseboat in the early 1960s, which have since been released as a 3-disc set entitled The False Creek Tapes.\n“Paul Rigby and I met when he played on my last album, Middletown, which I recorded in Calgary with Lorrie Matheson,” Emily says. “We connected then in the studio and there was a musical feel we stumbled upon as we were playing together that I wanted to follow. Paul was my first choice of producer to follow this idea for The Great Escape, and we both agreed on what kind of direction to take, which turned out to be the rock and roll album I’d always wanted to make. Rigby is super creative and able to look further ahead with a song than I am able to. We each brought our individual  strengths to this project.”\nThose strengths are evident from the first notes of the opening track “London 1969,” inspired by a friend’s story of watching the Apollo 11 moon landing on television as a small child. The song sets a nostalgic tone in some respects, along with Triggs’ explorations of American culture, as on “Summer In Nevada,” a power pop gem dedicated to the atomic soldiers who experienced nuclear weapons testing around Las Vegas in the 1950s and ‘60s. Meanwhile, the unyielding “Rough In The Ring” dishes out metaphors to offer hope to anyone trying to fight back against life’s struggles.\nThere are plenty of purely poetic moments on The Great Escape as well, from the gorgeous “Beautiful August” and “Ask The Birds” to the Irish-tinged “My Son” and closing track “Water Tower.” She explains, “Writing is a compulsion for me so I always have songs I am working on, some finished and ready to record and some still in pieces. I am also really into other art forms, but I’m mostly inspired by art made by people I know. The greats are great but I have a fetish for artists who create when it is not easy for them.”\nAlthough The Great Escape is only Emily’s third solo release since 2014, she played in various bands up to 2019 and continues to perform as a duo with Lorrie Matheson called The Rosellas. Going out on her own eventually became the most practical move in terms of touring, but it also helped Emily reconnect with the folk music passed down from her parents, and immerse herself in the sounds of Appalachia in West Virginia. That inherited wanderlust has taken her from her from Montreal to nearly every region of Canada, all of which she continues to visit as often as possible through her busy touring schedule. Emily’s aforementioned album Middletown was nominated for a Folk Music Canada Award and a Western Canadian Music Award in 2021, setting the stage for The Great Escape to expand her audience even further. Describing Emily’s sound in No Depression, Gillian Turnbull wrote, “Her originality continues through song themes that challenge the dominant singer-songwriter narratives so often employed by her colleagues.” And in the words of the Calgary Herald’s Eric Volmers, “While hardly a traditional folk performer, Triggs does have a knack for timeless melodies and crafting seemingly simple lines that nevertheless possess a good deal of gravity.”\nIt adds up to The Great Escape offering a clear picture of an artist coming into her own with songs that encompass the full range of emotions, from tenacious to transcendent. As Emily says, “My last album was about resilience, but sometimes you don’t need to be resilient, you need to change. You don’t have to leave a place, it can be metaphoric; you just have to leave a past version of yourself behind.”\n

DESCRIPTION:A triple threat showcase — A guaranteed good time for the Wolfe Island Round Up weekend!\nCODY ALLEN JAMES & GOOD CO\nCody Allen James & Good Co. is an Alt-Country band from Kingston, Ontario. What began as a solo songwriting project by Cody Allen James has evolved into a bonafide country rock outfit founded on a simple principle: write good songs and play them well. While they, of course, draw from the masters of the craft: Bob Dylan, John Prine, Gram Parsons, and The Rolling Stones, Good Co. has also been unavoidably influenced by more contemporary artists such as Neutral Milk Hotel, Deer Tick, and Demon’s Claws to name a few.\nTHE HOLY GAMBLERS\nCountry music embodies dualities: hard work and hard livin’, the ranch and the road, Western wisdom mingled with questionable advice. The Holy Gamblers, hailing from Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Southern Ontario, straddle this line expertly. Their music, a blend of influences from the genre’s roots, features intricate guitar, pedal steel, and rich harmonies anchored by a relentless rhythm section. They epitomize the essence of a classic honky tonk band.\nRapidly ascending the ranks of the Canadian country music scene, The Holy Gamblers have recently graced prestigious stages such as Massey Hall, Lucknow’s Music In The Fields, and NXNE. Their electrifying performances and authentic sound have captivated audiences, solidifying their reputation as a formidable force in the country music landscape.\nDENNIS BOUWMAN & THE WILD ROSES\nThe Wild Rose Orchestra is a good-timin’ country/rock band consisting of some of the best pickers and players Kingston has to offer. Kickin’ out your favourite tunes from Tom Petty to The Tragically Hip and Waylon Jennings to The Rolling Stones, The Wild Rose Orchestra will get your boots scootin’! This ensemble also features some of frontman Dennis Bouwman’s original songs, which flows seamlessly in and out of their curated selection of country/rock classics. If you’re lookin’ for a good time, you’ve found it with The Wild Rose Orchestra!\n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE_f34LzUKI\n \n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:James Leclaire / Wade Barras
DESCRIPTION:James Leclaire plays Wolfe Island with Wade Barras!\nLike everyone, James has had his share of challenges. He was an energetic and creative child who was always daydreaming and displaying his imagination through acting and drawing. That of course was challenging for James’ academics. He struggled in school, expect in art class, in which he excelled. His imagination really sparked when, at 16 years old, a friend put a guitar in James’ hands. Right from the start, James didn’t take lessons and didn’t want to learn other people’s songs. He wanted to write his own songs, create his own characters and tell his own stories. Although a happy individual, he enjoyed writing about life’s struggles. James would pull from experiences that he saw happen to people around him. Stories of love, determination, cheating, abuse, and heartache.\n“Creating a song from nothing, then performing it with the same passion as the characters you wrote about, and then seeing how those songs touch others, is unbelievably rewarding.” \nAfter barely graduating high school, James’ drawings got him accepted into an Animation program. This was another huge challenge for James; he was one of the weakest. After a laborious two years he completed the course but was unhireable. Another challenge to face, which he did. James worked on his portfolio at night for a year and a half and eventually squeaked into a position at an animation studio, where again he was the weakest. Challenge accepted. James focused and his skills sharpened.\nWhile still passionately writing, recording, and performing his own music, James’ storytelling skills, along with his evolving drawing abilities, lead him to a successful career as a Storyboard Artist. His hard work paid off. From there, in 2007 he ended up co-founding Jam Filled Entertainment, an animation studio that now has 700 employees with offices in Ottawa, Toronto and Halifax.\n“Storyboarding has so many similarities to songwriting. The writing, the acting, the timing; all of which kept sharpening my songwriting skills.” \nShortly after the release of his third solo album in 2015, These Weights, James took a long hiatus from recording and performing music for personal reasons…Reasons he now regrets. But in January 2020, James was slammed with the biggest challenge he had ever faced; his 23 year marriage came to a shocking and devastating end. How did James make it through? James dug deep and wrote songs that were from a place he had never been before. He wrote with new eyes, new ears, and new emotions. His songs now became personal as opposed to observational.\n“My sorrowful songs were always written from a fictional place or as a witness to others pain. Now it was my sorrow, my pain, my wound, and it caused my pen to bleed ink and my guitar to cry chords.” \nThat healing process, along with new experiences and eventually a new relationship, caused James’ song writing well to overflow with material that has amounted to a staggering 68 songs.\nJames headed into the recording studio with and recorded with producer, Phillip Victor Bova. The new recordings boast the talents of guitarist Kevin Breit (Norah Jones), drummer Ed Toth(Doobie Bros), guitarist/pianist John Fraser Findlay (Juno nominee), harmonicist Mickey Raphael (Nelson/Dylan/Young/Stapleton, etc) and other talented local musicians.\nThe first single, Things That I Said, was released Aug 4th, 2023 followed by a song a month until the well goes dry. But with the down pouring of inspiration he has felt since the 2015 damming, the flood of new material will not reside for a long time.\nThe next challenge is to have these songs heard.\n“Things That I Said is not only my first new single in 8 years but it’s also a rebirth and return to doing what I love, the challenge of telling a good story.”\nhttps://jamesleclaire.com/\n~\nWade Barras, the heart and soul of Parliament of Owls, has already released ‘Shallow Holes’ – the first single from his debut vinyl album ‘Volume 1’. Barras, originally from Pembroke but having spent time in all parts of Canada, has established roots in the Seaway City and is ready to let his art do the talking from now on. The big question, though, for a fellow who has yet to share his talents as a singer/songwriter, is what has inspired you to make this leap now?\n“There are moments that you realize how short and fragile life is and that you can’t trust someone else’s opinion of you,” said Barras. “You owe it to yourself and the people you care about that are no longer with us in life to believe in your talent, and your dreams. I have lived, lost and loved in a short period of time and have adapted to wearing many different hats along the way. Now it’s time to take all of those experiences and seize any opportunity that is put in front of me.”\n \n\n\n \n\n

I hope to introduce jazz enthusiasts to Korean sounds and instruments as well as draw in Korean traditional listeners to the spirit of improvisation. By shining a light on Asian music, I aspire to celebrate Asian-identifying individuals who are active in the jazz and creative music scenes.”\nHe has performed at various venues and festivals across Ontario and internationally, including the Toronto Undergraduate Jazz Festival, the Guelph Jazz Festival, the Newmarket Music Festival, the Kensington Market Jazz Festival, Toronto Fringe Festival, Jimmy Glass Off Festival, MusicFest Canada, and the TD Toronto Jazz Festival (2023).

SUMMARY:Beams
DESCRIPTION:Beams is a psychedelic folk-rock band that formed in 2011 in Toronto, Canada. Pairing the stunning harmonization of female voices with the shimmering textures of telecaster and vibraphone, they have been described as “darkly spellbinding” (American Songwriter) and have been compared to artists ranging from Fleetwood Mac and Kate Bush to Low and Fiver.\nThe success of the band’s debut album Just Rivers (2013), produced by Peter J. Moore (Cowboy Junkies, The Sadies), helped the band break out of Canada and into the US market, where they have become an audience favourite. That led to a connection with Chicago post-rock pioneer John McEntire (Tortoise, Broken Social Scene), who tracked their 2015 single, “The Gutters and the Glass”, which was followed up with a release of their popular cover of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill”. For their second full-length album, Teach Me to Love (2018), Beams decamped to Toronto studio Union Sound Company (METZ, Weaves). While that record was the product of crisis and trauma, Ego Death (2020) was the joyful sound of recovery.\n“The Spark in Your Eye” EP (2023) continues the band’s tradition of stylistically nonconformist storytelling and world-building, from 2013’s folksy “Just Rivers”, to 2020’s prog-tinged “Ego Death”, to their current guitar-driven sound described by Exclaim! Magazine as “bright and menacing”.\nThe band has plans for a May 2024 release of “Requiem for a Planet”, recorded by Kevin S. McMahon (Swans, Real Estate, Titus Andronicus) at Marcata Recording, a 200-year-old barn at the base of the Shawangunk mountains in New Paltz, NY.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Christopher Jackson / Matthew Holtby
DESCRIPTION:Admission: $10 at the door\nCHRISTOPHER JACKSON\nKingston’s multi-instrumentalist Christopher Jackson has been performing for over twenty-five years now. From singing and playing in a variety of renowned cover bands, to session recording artist and guest touring musician, to venue house band, Jackson has done it all. After six years of entertaining listeners at the popular “Chris Jackson & Friends” Friday night show at venue BluMartini, he’s built a reputation as a true entertainer. Known for his banter, audience interaction and impromptu musical collaborations, it’s not uncommon for innocent bystanders to be drawn in and woven into the fabric of the evening’s entertainment.\nNow creating his own music, Jackson’s debut album carries that personal connection felt at his live shows into his songs. With all the vocals and the majority of the instrumentation performed himself, the production evokes notes of seventies roots rock, alt-country and blends folky Canadiana/Americana with his own twist. Produced in collaboration with longtime friend, fellow musician and recording engineer Paul “Doc” Halladay, the album includes delightful embellishments by guest musicians in all the right places. Now ready for the world to hear, listeners will find themselves captured by music that is authentic, real and relatable.\n\n\n \nMATTHEW HOLTBY\n“You can tap your foot to pretty much any song, but a great song you can sing along with. Holtby writes just like that.” — Steve Waxman\n“Great singing and great song. Death Cab vibe with some GBV.” — Tim Vesley, Rheostatics/Violet Archers\nWarkworth, Ontario’s Matthew Holtby has been slowly adding to his collection of singles, one song at a time for the past two years. Working with Peterborough Producer, Michael Phillips, the pair have been digging out the sounds Holtby creates on his acoustic guitar with the help of his bandmates, best friends and even his Father. Last year saw the release of two independent singles which caught the ear of the CBC, and also helped to land him a few festival spots. He also had the pleasure of opening for legendary blues rocker David Wilcox to a sold out crowd in his hometown of Oshawa. He’s just released a brand new EP, and is looking forward to a very busy and exciting year ahead.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Jake Manzi
DESCRIPTION:Hang on and let go, Here She Comes is heading out. Ride with the fine melodies of this new Jake Manzi album. Seek the exuberance of his pop. Float in the shuffle and caress of thirteen dreamy tracks that jangle and twang against the shores of your heartland. Let yourself go there, beyond the cool sand, where tenderness can find you where it’s fun to pretend. Lose those heavy burdens. Be a fool, move your feet. You’re welcome to all you find here, courtesy of Jake.\nWith a subtle touch for turning up pure song-stuff out of life, channeling the likes of Marshall Crenshaw and Tom Petty, of Lucinda Williams and Bruce Springsteen, of the Wallflowers and Keane, Manzi offers you his singular take on what contemporary pop-rock can be. Hear richly layered vocal, guitar, and keyboard harmonies impressed on thumping and elastic grooves from locked in drums and bass. Be transfixed by high-strung Gibson acoustics that weave enchanting moments with the mellotron and clavinet, with the farfisa, the organ, and twelve-string accompaniments.\n\n \nRecorded live over four days at Spirithouse in Western Mass, Here She Comes sees the return of Griffin Goldsmith on drums, Jacob Rosazza on bass, and Caleb Rosazza on guitars and keys, with engineering by Danny Bernini and production by C. Rosazza and Manzi. Lush in tones of longing after all that’s left unsaid, Here She Comes with a wry smile and honest charm to bring the magic of the quiet moments we get caught up in and the hope in expectation for the joys of dreaming big.\nOpening for acts like Ron Sexsmith, NRBQ, Lori McKenna, Tomberlin, and Chris Collingwood, and collaborating with artists like Don Was and Mikaela Davis, Madison Cunningham and Dawes’s Griffin & Taylor Goldsmith, Jake Manzi is a songwriter to be reckoned with and a unique talent to be enjoyed.\nInstagram // Facebook // YouTube // X\n\n

SUMMARY:Chanter la Pomme — Alison Gowan and Jan LeClair
DESCRIPTION:Chanter la Pomme, featuring Alison Gowan (QC) and Jan LeClair (ON), blends the drone-based timbres of hurdy gurdy and accordion to create dynamic interpretations of traditional and neo trad dance music and songs from Central Europe and beyond. Formerly members of Swamp Ward Orchestra, Jan and Alison draw on a wide variety of musical influences, from classical to Klezmer, and have performed on numerous stages of note including Calgary Folk Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Lunenburg Folk Festival, Festival Chants de Vielles and Dance Flurry in New York.\n“Chanter la pomme” is an old Quebecois expression, meaning to flirt or court someone. One theory about the etymology of the expression is that pomme was originally palm. When dancing together at a time when grand displays of public affection were eschewed, someone might exert subtle pressure on the hand of their dance partner to indicate their appreciation. Over time, palm transformed to the sweeter, tastier version.\n\n \n\n \n

SUMMARY:L Con + James Irwin
DESCRIPTION:L CON\nL CON is the project of Lisa Conway-Bühler, a composer, sound artist, songwriter, producer, recordist, and mix engineer based in Montréal.  An artist who continually tries to push herself into the unfamiliar, she has written original scores and songs for documentaries, short films, and theatre productions, created site-specific multi-channel sound and light installations, and collaborated with contemporary dancers and performance artists.\nLisa’s solo releases as L CON have received positive press from publications like CBC, The Fader, Uproxx, Tiny Mix Tapes, Exclaim, and Earmilk, with comparisons drawn to Feist, Agnes Obel, Beth Gibbons, and Jenny Hval. In 2023, she released two albums, the instrumental “SOUNDMILL improvisations” on limited edition tape (via Toronto label Halocline Trance), as well a full-length album of songs (vinyl + digital) on Idée Fixe records.\n“avant-garde pop for wayward souls” — Broken Pencil\n“Conway is bound for greatness, even if she doesn’t realize it yet.” — Toronto Star\n\n\nJAMES IRWIN\nJames Irwin writes songs with a plainspoken beauty in the spirit of Gillian Welch or Bill Callahan. With a voice often likened to Arthur Russell’s, he shares Russell’s curiosity for any and all genres. Stars Blue Wheel, (2020), an album of cosmic country songs written in response to the deaths of Jason Molina, Leonard Cohen, Tom Petty, David Bowie, and James’s dear friend Katherine Peacock, is the most graceful James Irwin recording yet in terms of sound, lyric, and vibe. A tight palette of blue-lit images gather meaning across all nine songs.\nPrevious albums Western Transport (2012), Unreal (2015), and Shabbytown (2017) gave James a singular reputation in Montreal as a folksinger at home in the arty, lofty music scene of that city’s heyday. Despite ten years of shifting from outsider folk to low-fi 80s pop to indie rock and back, the mood and lyrical voice of James’s music has always been unmistakable. Bandmates used to call it “Jamesing”. He now lives in Toronto where he’s been on hiatus writing a novel about growing up in a religious commune in Oklahoma.\nJames also played in bands The Moment, My People Sleeping, Paradise, Poor William, The Coal Choir and has occasionally also released albums under pseudonyms like Transparents and Mamatschi.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:MOONRIIVR
DESCRIPTION:The soundtrack to your perfect summer night!\nUPDATE — the show will now start earlier, at 7pm, not 8:30pm.\nTickets: $15 / PWYC\nAdvance Tickets: CLICK HERE\nThe songs on MOONRIIVR’s aptly titled debut, Vol. 1, came together on an old analogue tape machine, laced with sweetly reverberating slide guitars, wonky string synths, and nimble percussive environments. MOONRIIVR’s knack for creating sonic worlds that are at once lightly trippy and wholly inviting means that, as much as Vol. 1 draws on inspirations from decades past, it maintains a pleasing, distinctly out-of-time feel. The band half-jokingly likened the album to “Buddy Holly meets Krautrock”, and strange as it sounds it’s not far off the mark.\n\n \nThematically, the songs are wide ranging, providing a winning contrast to the laser focus of MOONRIIVR’s sonic architecture. Running the gamut from personal reflections on finding pleasure in the minutiae of everyday life on “Blonde Hair Now” to meditations on some of the more disturbing and inescapable developments in world politics over the last few years (“Midnight at the Garden Hotel”, “Flowers on the Fire Escape”), Gardiner deftly addresses these seemingly disparate thought-poles with a balance of opacity and directness. While not beating the listener over the head, Gardiner doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable topics, be it climate change or navigating friendship schisms that developed around divergent pandemic politics. It’s the kind of record that can thrum warmly in the background but also pays dividends for those listeners willing to dig a little deeper.\nIn the spring of 2020, early days of the pandemic, Gavin Gardiner – best known as the front person for Juno-nominated indie-folk mainstays The Wooden Sky, and as a producer & engineer at All Day Coconut studios for artists such as Fiver, Jason Collett, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson – visited his friend “Champagne” James Robertson at the Robertson family farm north of Toronto. After years touring as lead guitar with acts like Lindi Ortega and Dwayne Gretzky, Robertson was similarly adrift during those strange early pandemic days. The two had been circling around each other in the Toronto music scene when the chance to collaborate landed in front of them.  Armed with a vintage Tascam 388 tape recorder, mellotron and a nylon string guitar the two got stuck in and quickly realized they had stumbled onto something special.\nAfter this initial round of writing and recording sessions at the farm, the two decamped back to Toronto where they roped in first-call bassist Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station, Basia Bulat, Julia Jacklin) and percussionist extraordinaire Lyle Molzan (Kathleen Edwards, Corb Lund), and continued tweaking and refining their sound during weekly sessions at All Day Coconut. The two added a new layer of depth to the proceedings, with Whiteley’s tasteful, earthy bass playing providing a warm anchor to the music, and Molzan largely eschewing a standard drumkit in favour of triangles, congas, and other sundry percussive items.\nFinally, MOONRIIVR returned to the farm to pull the whole thing together. They set up shop in the garage, placing guitar amplifiers in cars and opening and closing the car doors to adjust sound leakage during recording.  The 30 degree July heat made it necessary to keep the garage doors open, letting the natural ambient sounds of their rural environs seep into the background of the songs. Gardiner in particular delighted in this refreshing change from the status quo, re-setting himself with this open-ended, at times magical creative process, which he says “really opened up a whole new musical world to me that I had heard in the music I loved.”\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Alexander Gallant / Princess Towers
DESCRIPTION:ALEXANDER GALLANT\nAlexander Gallant is a folk singer-songwriter from Halifax, Nova Scotia. In the tradition of A Singer With A Guitar, Alexander’s songs are simple, direct, and have one foot planted firmly on the ground. Alexander believes in song as the purest method of communication, and uses folk styling to deliver his musings on the profound, absurd, and the blue. Alexander follows the path left open to him by Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, etc.\n\n\nPRINCESS TOWERS\n Princess Towers take their name from a 1970s apartment building widely derided as Kingston’s biggest eyesore. Like their namesake, they aim to make audacious design choices and embrace the awkwardness of things in music. Their 2022 debut “Remastered in Stereo” centers on a humble cast of mundane thoughts and feelings, and presents a scale model of their playful approach to folk and country stylings. Following a release tour in fall 2022 and a soundtrack collaboration with Montreal’s Elkabong Theatre in January, Princess Towers released “Freak Fairy Tales” in 2023, a new collection of songs about fantastic ordinary things.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Shepherd
DESCRIPTION:Thursday, April 25th, 2024 // 7:00pm doors\nTickets $25 + HST & service charge // $30 door\nAdvance Tickets:  CLICK HERE ( #tickets )\nPlease check the Kingston/Wolfe Island ferry schedules and departure times.\n“Wholly unique and unclassifiable style that blurs the boundaries between jazz, R&B, pop and hip hop…” — MOJO (UK)\n“Soulful coolness” — USA Today\n“Mag-ni-fique!” — Radio France\nVelvety-voiced pianist Elizabeth Shepherd arrived on the international scene in 2006 when her debut album ‘Start To Move’ was voted one of the top jazz albums of the year by listeners of the influential Gilles Peterson Show on BBC Radio Worldwide. Since then, the Montreal-based soul-jazz innovator has established herself as one of the most alluring and imaginative artists on the scene today. A classical pianist who came to jazz through her love of old-school hip-hop, it’s perhaps no surprise that this globetrotting talent has developed such a distinct and unique voice.\nElizabeth has been hailed as “a jazz virtuoso blessed with a pop sensibility” (The Globe and Mail ) and praised by critics worldwide for her arrestingly original writing and soulful delivery. Alongside Esperanza Spalding and Robert Glasper, she is among the new wave of jazz-influenced musicians bringing the art form to a younger generation of music fans. The six-time JUNO nominee (Canada’s GRAMMY Awards) and two-time Polaris-Prize nominee has released seven widely acclaimed records, featuring collaborations with such musicians as Lionel Loueke and UK producer Nostalgia 77. She has toured extensively in North America, Europe, Japan and Mexico, selling out shows from the Cotton Club (Tokyo) to The Jazz Cafe (London, UK) to the Northseas and ELBJazz Festival. She has shared the stage with such great diverse acts as Christian MacBride, Victor Wooten, Spankie Wilson, the Quantic Soul Orchestra, the Five Corners Quintet, Bonobo, and was also personally invited to open for Jamie Cullum at a sold-out Hollywood Bowl show.\nHer newest project is the result of 3 years of collaborating with different artists remotely due to COVID restrictions and stay-at-home orders. It is a celebration of hope in the face of darkness, grace in the face of the unknown, and the tenacity of the creative forces that carry us through it all.\nhttps://elizabethshepherd.com/\n\n\n

SUMMARY:SOLAR ECLIPSE 2024
DESCRIPTION:A once-in-a-lifetime event is coming to our skies, the afternoon of Monday, April 8, 2024 — and Wolfe Island is one of the best places in Eastern Ontario to see it.\nThe last total solar eclipse was seen in this region in the year 1349, and the next one won’t be until 2399!\nJOIN US AT THE HOTEL\nWe’ll be hosting a public gathering at the spacious Wolfe Island Commons waterfront across from the Hotel, with plenty of room for your lawn chairs. Let’s hope for clear skies!\nThe Hotel is a short drive, or 15 minutes bicycle ride, from the Dawson Point ferry dock. Visit https://www.wiferry.ca/ for ferry schedules and status.\nRESTAURANT & CAFÉ\nOur Stone’s Throw Café will be open as usual from 7:30am to 11pm for coffee, tea, and light breakfast. Our Restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner, starting at 11am.\nHOTEL ROOMS\nAs of this posting, all of our rooms and suites are FULL for Sunday night, but there are still some available for Monday night — CLICK HERE to book your stay.\nENTERTAINMENT\n\n4:30 – 6:30pm: Jason Mercer and Teilhard Frost will perform a little post-eclipse music at the hotel. They might even play Total Eclipse of the Heart (but no promises!) Teilhard and Jason have been making music together from the moment they met and delight in each other’s musical company. Playing a combination of banjos, fiddle and viola, they play dance tunes from the Appalachians to Scandinavian Waltzes and Belgian Mazurkas. As multi-instrumentalists, they have collaborated to create award winning soundtracks for film and live performance, as well as The Os Project to highlight the banjo and its African relatives.\nABOUT THE ECLIPSE\n“A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon aligns precisely between the Sun and Earth, completely covering the face of the Sun and casting its shadow upon our planet,” explains Dr. Robert Knobel, Head of the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics, and Astronomy at Queen’s University. “To see it, you have to be somewhere within a narrow path of totality, which Kingston happens to be on for the one occurring in April.”\nWhen this happens, the sky will become as dark as night for three minutes. The eclipse will begin around 2:09 PM with the moon “taking a bite out of the sun”, and culminating with it completely covering the sun around 3:22 PM, and ending around 4:34 PM.\nFor more information — and safety! — visit the links and watch the videos below.\nhttps://www.visitkingston.ca/eclipse2024/\nhttps://eclipse2024.org\nhttps://southeasternontario.ca/travel_guides/solar-eclipse-2024/\n\n \n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Edgar Breau of Simply Saucer / Darryl Gould / Graham Nicholas
DESCRIPTION:EDGAR BREAU (SIMPLY SAUCER)\nIf you know Breau’s name, it’s most likely as leader of Hamilton’s cult punk-prog pioneers Simply Saucer, resurrected from the ’70’s and more powerful than ever these days. If you really know Breau, you’ll know his solo work leans to the acoustic folk side, but with lots of grand washes of instruments and dreamy soundscapes. Schooled in folk song traditions, literary fixations, and the fingerstyle guitar playing of John Fahey, his output spans decades, his song writing encompasses haunting acoustic landscapes woven with poetic lyricism, with “short stories with developed characters, marvelous, laid back sound, trippy and rewarding”  — Bob Mersereau\n“The solo Breau has created a sublimely atmospheric kind of melancholy that will be familiar to acolytes of everyone from Chet Baker to Robert Wyatt.”\n— John Sakamoto, THE TORONTO STAR\nhttps://edgarbreau.com/\nShadows of Ecstasy by Edgar Breau ( https://edgarbreau1.bandcamp.com/album/shadows-of-ecstasy )\nDARRYL GOULD\nDarryl Gould has worked with members of 13 Engines, Teenage Head, The Killjoys, Simply Saucer, and sang with the Rheostatics at The Horseshoe Tavern’s anniversary show, as well as recorded two records with The Dinner Is Ruined Band. He is presently recording a album (or two) with Ian Blurton (Change of Heart).\nGreen Gas by Darryl Gould and the Dinner Is Ruined band with Michael Herring ( https://darrylgouldthedinnerisruinedband.bandcamp.com/album/green-gas )\nGRAHAM NICHOLAS\nWith the release of his 4th full length album Black Creek (2023), Graham Nicholas has created an emotionally resonant world inhabited by troubled and love-hungry characters. Never alienated for their insecurities, his characters are instead respected by the empathetic voice of an honest songwriter. The new album finds Nicholas honing in on his concise form of storytelling and refining his irreverent sense of humour. Coupling his John Prine & Gordon Lightfoot narrative style with a backing band that hearkens back to the likes of The Band, Nicholas’ songs have found the right balance of warmth and grit. Listed by Now Magazine as one of their “2018 Toronto Musicians to Watch”, He has also shared the stage with the likes of Ron Hynes, James Keelaghan, Catherine MacLellan, Old Man Luedecke, Del Barber and Daniel Romano.\nwww.grahamnicholas.ca\n\n \nBlack Creek by Graham Nicholas ( https://grahamnicholas.bandcamp.com/album/black-creek )\n

SUMMARY:Morgan Davis
DESCRIPTION:Saturday, May 11th, 2024 // 7:00pm doors\nAdvance Tickets: $25 + HST & service charge:  CLICK HERE ( #tickets )\n$30 at the door\nPlease check the Kingston/Wolfe Island ferry schedules and departure times.\nFor nearly 60 years Morgan Davis has been playing the blues, travelling across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. His performances draw from a lifelong study of the rich tradition of country blues, re-interpreting songs of the 1920s and 30s on electric instruments. His original compositions are infused with wit and a good dose of humour, and he’s been won multiple Maple Blues and Toronto Blues Society Awards, as well as a JUNO for his recordings.\nOver his five decade career Davis has opened shows for Willie Dixon, Albert King, John Hammond, John Lee Hooker and Albert Collins. He has jammed with Muddy Waters, James Cotton and Johnny Shines. He has backed up Sunnyland Slim, Snooky Pryor, Hubert Sumlin, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith and Dr. John. Davis has released two 45 RPM records, two LPs, and nine CDs.  His songwriting talent received wide recognition when Colin James covered his searing ballad, “Why’d You Lie?”\nhttps://morgandavis.com/\n\n\nOriginally from Detroit MI, Morgan Davis grew up listening to a rich variety of rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and the emergence of the Motown sound. The music of Jimmy Reed, Ike and Tina Turner, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino was in the air, emanating from car radios and jukeboxes. In 1962 his family relocated to southern California, where Davis found the preponderance of surf music unappealing. He discovered Bob Dylan, whose music introduced him to Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Pete Seeger and Blind Lemon Jefferson. The psychedelic era ushered in bands like Jimi Hendrix and Cream, he attended concerts by the Doors, Grateful Dead, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Buffalo Springfield, Mothers of Invention and the Electric Flag. Davis began to play guitar at 16 years of age.\nGraduating from high school in 1965, Davis enrolled in Long Beach State College, where he became active in the campus anti-war movement as well as SDS. Being of draft age and refusing his 2-S student deferment, he made the choice to remove himself from the U.S. war machine and move to Canada. He settled in Toronto, which he happily found to be a city on the circuit of the great Chicago blues bands, and a rich musical education began by watching Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. Davis also had the opportunity to see and meet many great country blues players – John Hammond, Son House, Booker White, and Johnny Shines.\nAfter a brief stint teaching junior high school, Davis began his musical career while residing at Rochdale College, Toronto’s high rise mecca for artists. Opportunities to jam with other players were frequent, and Davis happily immersed himself in music until he began to get the occasional gig, and he soon found himself in a band called the Rhythm Rockets, which played a variety of vintage rock and roll, country and blues. He began touring, eventually forming his own blues band, the Knights of the Mystic Sea.\nFor the past 20 years he has made his home in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. Davis performs solo, playing traditional and original blues on electric guitars and his three string cigar-box guitar. Still a road-addicted touring musicianer, Davis averaged 200 days a year on the road… until the sudden intrusion of the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic.\n…he hopes to be playing the blues until he drops.\n

SUMMARY:St. Patrick’s Day with Steáfán and Saskia
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to be hosting this amazing duo – what better way to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day than with traditional Irish music from these charming and celebrated performers?\nSaskia Tomkins (from the UK) and Steáfán Hannigan (from Ireland) moved to Canada in 2007 with 3 children and over 800 instruments! After 22 years of playing together, and many sessions under their belt for other people, Steafan & Saskia released their first duo album called “Moorchild”.\nBetween them, Saskia & Steafan have played with thousands of artists both live and recorded, including Uriah Heep, Loreena McKennitt, Bjork, Depeche Mode, The Band of Hope (with Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick), SinÉ, The Afro-Celt Sound System, Oliver Schroer, David Newland (in his project Northbound Passage), and most recently Sultans of String, George Crotty, Shannon Linton and the MEDUSA string quartet.\nThey have been session musicians on TV shows which include Relic Hunter, Earth Final Conflict, Murdoch Mysteries, Copper, Cabinet of Curiosities (Guillermo Del Toro, Netflix) and Friends (the one with Ross’s Wedding). Together they worked on developing the Celtic music for the hit Broadway show “Come from Away”.\nSteafan is the author of bestselling books “The Bodhran Book” and “The Low Whistle Book”. With his other hat, Steafan is a TD and sound/lighting tech for theatres (and a very useful person to have around).\n…and Sunday Dinner too!\nCome for the music, and stay for our delicious Sunday Dinner ( https://hotelwolfeisland.com/events/sunday-dinner/ ) — family-style meals, with all the fixings. New menu each Sunday. This week, it’s BBQ Baby Back Ribs, with wild rice pilaf, roasted squash puree, grilled pineapple relish. $27 per dinner.

SUMMARY:“Women in Folk” Performance and Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Anthea Feaver at the Hotel Wolfe Island on March 28th for a special workshop and show celebrating music written, performed by, and about notable women in 20th-century folk music. Featuring songs from Maybelle Carter, Elizabeth Cotten, Etta Baker, Ola Belle Reed, Jean Ritchie, Violet Hensley, and more. The workshop will begin at 6pm in the piano room followed by a performance from 7:30-9:30 in the main room.\nAnthea Feaver is a Wolfe Island-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Knitting together the old and new, Anthea’s original music combines the syncopated rhythms and repetitive melodic appeal of her favourite folk traditions with impressionistic lyrics that meditate on family, love, loss, and the passage of time. Alongside these enduring themes, Anthea’s songs reflect on social issues, neurodiversity, and environmentalism. From icicles falling on heads to long-lost family letters, her songs shift deftly between bleakness and hope.\nWorkshop details:\nAnthea will discuss and teach a selection of tunes collected from or written by female folk instrumentalists. All instruments and levels welcome. Recommend familiarity with learning by ear and comfort playing at least basic chords and melodies.\nAdmission is FREE.\n \n\n

They sing tales in more languages than I can count, borrowed from the underground legends of criminals the world over.” – DMNDR\n“Exciting and tear-jerking all at once!” – Le Devoir\nFor almost a dozen years now, Orkestar Kriminal has created daring arrangements of old underworld ballads in 12 different languages, telling the tales of impoverished peoples the world over, driven to a life of crime. With their unique instrumentation (upright bass, trombone, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, musical saw, bouzouki, baglamas, electric surf guitar, drums, piccolo, flute, violin, accordion, organ, voice) and a refreshing gender-mashup in their musicianship, Orkestar Kriminal has arranged some of the world’s long-forgotten criminal ballads with all the fervour and gusto that they could muster. After continuous touring and a multitude of festival performances, the biggest criminal punks in world music released Razlomanye Ryobra in 2020, hitting the #1 spot on the Earshot “National International” charts. Orkestar Kriminal is now fired-up with “Originali”, their first ever all-originals album produced by Grammy award-winning Producer-Engineer: Mark Lawson, out March 15th, 2024 on CPL-Music.\nAlong with their original Yiddish, Greek and Spanish compositions, Orkestar Kriminal worked extensively with native-speaking linguistic collaborators from all over the world to compose lyrics in Hindi, Mixteco, Arabic, Polish, Bosnian and Norwegian Bokmål. With all these nuanced, stylized arrangements, and 9 different languages featured, “Originali” is the band’s most ambitious album yet. Their bittersweet melodies are delightfully infectious, so for Orkestar Kriminal, there is no turning back. Drenched in expression, celebrated and improvised, this is “cabaret noir” at its finest!\nhttps://orkestarkriminal.bandcamp.com ( https://orkestarkriminal.bandcamp.com/ )\n\n \n\nBIRDBONE THEATRE’S “BROOM DANCE”\nBroom Dance is a work of shadow puppet theatre, a luminous bow of song and cut paper to wild dark and winter night. A story house for wild forest-bound Baba Yaga, hearth-keeping, gift-giving Befana, and wild-tending Holy Mother of Wolves. Birdbone Theatre makes puppet shows from scratch and plays them live for the young and the old. We strive to make puppet theatre that might become a house for beauty, for remembering old songs and stories, for wild imaginings and for laughter in hard times.\nBirdbone Theatre makes puppet shows from scratch and plays them live for the young and the old.

SUMMARY:Anthea Feaver / Teilhard Frost & Jason Mercer (Onion Honey CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:Sadly, Onion Honey cannot make this previously scheduled performance due to illness. Anthea Feaver will now perform with Teilhard & Jason opening the show!\n7pm at Hotel Wolfe Island. PWYC at the door.\nANTHEA FEAVER\nOriginally from Vancouver, Anthea Feaver is a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose finger-picking, folky stylings are heavily inspired by artists such as Dave van Ronk, Maybelle Carter, and Doc Watson, while her love for lyricism comes from a life spent reading, rhyming, and running her mouth.\n\nTEILHARD FROST & JASON MERCER\nJason Mercer and Teilhard Frost have been making music together from the moment they met and delight in each others musical company. Playing a combination of banjos, fiddle and viola, they play dance tunes from the Appalachians to Scandinavian Waltzes and Belgian Mazurkas. As multi-instrumentalists, they have collaborated to create award winning soundtracks for film and live performance, as well as The Os Project to highlight the banjo and its African relatives.\n\n

SUMMARY:The Get Alongs
DESCRIPTION:The Get Alongs return to Hotel Wolfe Island for a special show during a very special weekend. This is the weekend the island hosts its annual hockey tournament (happening earlier during the day)! The Get Alongs have graced our stage a couple of times before, blowing us all away with their garage rock and perfect hair, but this is their first trip for a winter show. They have their own connection to the island’s hockey tournament and are excited to play for us this time of year. Hope you’ll join us for the fun! Open jam to follow their performance so bring a song to share.\n7pm to 12am, $15/PWYC, Feb 3rd \nMore about the band…\nThe Get Alongs are a Toronto-based band that have been a part of the live scene across Ontario and Montreal for the past three years. The four-man crew never fail to deliver; their live sets show you how to live purely in the moment. It’s something else if you’re able to attend one of their shows; watching the band play with bloody hands and rip their shirts off halfway through a set, you’ll understand what it means to enjoy music with pure abandon. Their music can’t be encapsulated into a single genre; from college rock, new wave, fusion, to country, The Get Alongs play to their own tune and are constantly experimenting.\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Ron Hawkins & Graven
DESCRIPTION:Friday, March 8th, 7:30pm show, $25 + HST & service charge // $30 door\nAdvance Tickets:  CLICK HERE ( #tickets )\nPlease check the Kingston/Wolfe Island ferry schedules and departure times.\nRON HAWKINS\nRon Hawkins has long been revered as one of Canada’s greatest contemporary singer-songwriters. As lead singer/multi-instrumentalist and main songwriter of Canada’s legendary Lowest of the Low, Ron Hawkins has enjoyed many accolades through the years: In 1996, 2000 and again in 2005, Chart Magazine honoured the group’s 1991 debut album, Shakespeare My Butt, with spots in the top 10 of the Top 100 Canadian Albums of All Time. In 2000 and once again in 2015, Hawkins was voted Songwriter of the Year by NOW Magazine’s reader’s poll.  Also in 2000, Ron received Toronto station 102.1 The Edge’s Lifetime Achievement Award. And in that same year Ron Hawkins and the Rusty Nails won album of the year at The Indie Awards, for their album Crackstatic. In 2008 The Lowest of the Low was inducted into the Canadian Indie Rock Hall of Fame and awarded gold records for Shakespeare My Butt.\nOver the years, Ron has written and released eight LOTL albums, five solo discs, three records with his band The Rusty Nails, and three records (one a double album) as Ron Hawkins and The Do Good Assassins. That’s 19 albums of original material to date plus a commemorative vinyl box set called “Shakespeare My Box” – an anthology of the entire Lowest of the Low catalogue.\n\n \n\n\nGRAVEN\nOttawa’s Graven is a fan favourite at Hotel Wolfe Island! With 16 major releases under his belt, and his latest feature album Simple Complex recorded at Fang Studios in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and mixed by Joel Plaskett, Nepean, Ontario-born Matty McKechnie (Graven) is a passionate wordsmith of song who wears his heart on the sleeve of his melodies. “Simple Complex” charted across many college radio stations in Canada and the USA and was #3 on CKCU FM’s top 50 albums of 2022. His last record Years (2020) was produced by Jim Bryson (singer songwriter and producer of Kathleen Edwards award winning album “Total Freedom”) and helped put his music into new realms. Having toured across Canada thrice, he always has uplifting words and self-love promoting songs of support for anyone at his shows and his dedicated fan-base (who have dubbed themselves as “Graventown”). Graven always tries to create a highly accepting and inclusive community and his music has become a safe-haven for anyone and everyone who wants to be their real-self without judgement. https://www.gravencanada.com/\n\n \n\n

DESCRIPTION:An incredible lineup not to be missed!\nJanuary 6, doors at 7 and show at 8pm, At Hotel Wolfe Island. \n$15/PWYC at the door\nFortunato Durutti Marinetti (Toronto)\nBorn in Turin and based in Toronto, Daniel Colussi has been playing in underground bands within various subterranean communities for the last twenty years. Adopting the nom de guerre Fortunato Durutti Marinetti, he self-released the Desire cassette in 2020, which was quickly followed with Memory’s Fool (Soft Abuse/Bobo Integral) in 2022 and the Desire LP (Second Spring), also 2022.

SUMMARY:China Cat Riders + Special Guests
DESCRIPTION:A Grateful Dead tribute band from Kingston, The China Cat Riders ( https://www.facebook.com/ChinaCatRiders/ ) formed out of a reunion of Hurricane Bob, who played around the city in the early nineties. Band members—Adam Hodge, Kevin Bowers, Dan Curtis, Wes Garland and Pete Bowers—are all veterans of the Kingston music scene, and have a common love of The Dead.\nFrom January 5 to 18, the Piano Room at the Hotel has been turned into a Wolfe Island Records recording studio to record multiple new album projects. The China Cat Riders are delighted to have the Wolfe Island Records crew open the show, which means there will be a pile of players to join the boys for some tunes over the course of the night. Chris Brown, Rocky Roberts, and Sarah McDermott are regular satellite members of the China Cats, but we may get more special guests on the 19th.\nMake sure you come in time for the 7pm start!\n \n\n \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Deborah Schuurmans & Jazmine Wykes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Sunday Matinee show performed on the Hotel’s beautiful 1951 Steinway grand piano by these talented artists.\n$20 admission. \nJazmine Wykes, better known as her new stage name “bathwash.” is a rising artist in the Ottawa indie-pop scene. Her music combines dreamy melodies with introspective lyrics, creating a sound that is both ethereal and emotional. Bathwash. has recently released her first EP “Solar Farm” available on all streaming platforms.\nDeborah Schuurmans, the soulful Canadian composer and pianist, creates music that is a journey for the heart and soul. Her cinematic piano pieces rise and fall with emotive intensity, evoking a sense of peace and presence in the moment. With each note, Deborah takes her listeners on a captivating and deeply personal journey through sound, creating strong visual imagery that transports them to another place and time.\nGrowing up, Deborah’s musical influences included Chopin, Debussy, and Tin Pan Alley. Drawing on her classical training and her own natural creative instincts, she blends these influences to create her own unique and intrinsic harmonies and melodies.\nDeborah’s first series of songs, such as Spinning in Time, Light Spectrum, Sinking into Air, Riding with the Wind, and Falling In, are infused with her love of nature, the universe, and spirit. Created from her subconscious, these pieces are a beautiful manifestation of connectivity between nature, humanity, and the heart.\nHer other series of pieces were born from her personal experiences of love and loss. These emotive pieces are a reflection of the human experience and serve to remind us of the importance of feeling deeply and connecting with our hearts.\nDeborah’s ultimate dream is that her music will contribute to creating a universal love for all souls. Her intention is for her listeners to feel their hearts stir with emotion and to be moved by the beauty and power of her music.\nhttps://www.instagram.com/schuurmansd/\n \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Bill Kirchen’s Honky Tonk Holiday Show with special guests Suzanne Jarvie & Rocky Roberts
DESCRIPTION:ADVANCE TICKETS: $46.25 (tax+fees included) — available from Collective Concerts (CLICK HERE TO BUY)\nFor a real taste of seasonal cheer, nothing says joy to the world like Bill Kirchen singing “Daddy’s Drinkin’ Up Our Christmas!”\nBill Kirchen and his Silent Knights will make a stop on their annual Honky Tonk Holiday Tour at Hotel Wolfe Island! Featured is a sleigh-full of rarely heard holiday numbers from the blues, rock ‘n’ roll and honky tonk bags: “Silent Surfin’ Night,” “Truckin’ Trees for Christmas,” “Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin,” and more. But be ye not afraid, there’ll be so much more than holiday songs of questionable taste; you can count on a truckload of dieselbilly classics, rockers, and country weepers to take the edge off the holiday fuss. So mark your calendars and check ’em twice — Santa Claus is back in town! Kirchen is touring with his all-star Texas guys — Jack Saunders on bass and Rick Richards on drums.\nOpening the show are the stellar songwriters we’re calling the Back Porch Troubadours — a.k.a. Rocky Roberts & Suzanne Jarvie.\nBILL KIRCHEN\nGrammy-nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide, and elicit instant recognition. Named a “Titan of the Telecaster” by Guitar Player Magazine, he celebrates a musical tradition that embraces rock ‘n’ roll, blues and bluegrass, Texas Western swing and California honky-tonk. Nick Lowe describes Bill as “… a devastating culmination of the elegant and funky… a really sensational musician, with enormous depth.”\nAs a founding father of the proto-Americana group Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, Kirchen wrought a diesel-fueled guitar hook that drove their Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top 10 nationwide. Kirchen went on to the Grammys where he was nominated for Best Country Instrumental in 2001.\nHe has recorded with Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, Hoyt Axton, Hazel Dickens, Gene Vincent and Link Wray, and  has toured the world as guitarist with Cody, Nick Lowe, Hoyt Axton and Emmylou Harris.\nBill Kirchen was inducted into the Hall Of Fame of the Washington DC Wammie Music Awards in 2001, alongside Dave Grohl and John Phillip Sousa. He joined a remarkable list of prior inductees including Bo Diddly, Duke Ellington, Ruth Brown, Marvin Gaye, Patsy Cline, Shirley Horn, Emmylou Harris, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady.\nHis recent disc, Transatlanticana, entered the Americana Radio Chart Top 10 in 2018, joining his extensive catalogue of over 2 dozen albums, from the Commander Cody discs on through his current 12 releases on the Proper and Last Music Company labels. Bill’s latest releases are Back from the Ozone, a Lost Planet Airmen reunion CD out in October 2023 and, from 2021,  the LPs Waxworks and Tombstone Every Mile, along with The Proper Years and Tombstone on CD and in all digital formats, all on the Last Music Company label.\nWashington Post:  “Seldom has traveling across the rock and country landscape been this much fun”\nGuitar Player magazine: “The Titan of the Telecaster…cuts loose with some of the fattest, gnarliest low-down twang imaginable”\nRolling Stone: “A musical treasure, a fantastic player, and, in these roots-conscious times, very much a pioneer, Bill Kirchen is one of our best.”\nhttps://www.billkirchen.com/official\n\nSUZANNE JARVIE\nSuzanne Jarvie’s debut album, Spiral Road was released in 2014 to rave reviews from the US, Canada, and Europe, comparisons to Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams, and a 2015 nomination from the Independent Music Awards for “Best Concept Album”. No Depression described Jarvie’s voice as “seraphim-pure, reaching out and lifting your spirit often without permission.” Spiral Road documents the painful journey after her oldest son tripped and fell down a spiral staircase, lapsing into a coma in 2011. “It was a bomb,” Suzanne recalls. “I couldn’t breathe. The doctors said he wouldn’t live, but he did.” The miracle of her son’s survival changed Jarvie’s life. While her son was still at the hospital, she began an intense period of songwriting, never having written anything much prior. “It was powerful and strange.”\nJarvie’s sophomore record In the Clear, released in January 2019, picks up where Spiral Road left off – delving deeper into the aftermath of her son’s brain injury – and going beyond it. The tunes tunnel into feelings and impressions that are the essence of Suzanne’s artistry, luminous rabbit holes that merge mysticism with reflections on life’s ups and downs that fans of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan or Lucinda Williams would appreciate.\n\nROCKY ROBERTS & FRIENDS\nCraig “Rocky” Roberts, touring guitar technician for the likes of Neil Young, Wilco, Patti Smith, CSNY, Paul Simon, Lucinda Williams, Nils Lofgren, and My Morning Jacket, brings his own rootsy sound to the stage with the help of his Wolfe Island musical family.\nRocky’s new EP, Pieces of Time, has just been released, to enthusiastic critical acclaim. The first single, Buck Moon, features Norah Jones & Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket):\n“What a sweet and tender bluesy Americana sound for the oncoming summer months. Perfect for swinging in a hammock after a few tequilas. Rocky Robert & Friends EP Pieces of Time is a tranquil beauty… It’s the best of American music, the honorable, gentle, open-hearted kind.”\n— Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros, NoHoArtsDistrict.com\n\n

SUMMARY:The Slocan Ramblers
DESCRIPTION:Sunday November 5, 2023\n4:30 pm\nTwo 45-minute sets\nAdvance Tickets: $30 ($25 artists/students) + HST (buy tickets below) ( #tickets )\nDoor: $35 ($30 artists/students)\n“The Slocan Ramblers put on one of the most vibrant shows of acoustic music I’ve seen in some time. It’s rare for Canadians (especially young Canadians) to play this music with such authority, passion and yet ability for experimentation. Chops galore, and a handsome bunch of fellas.”\n– Tom Power – Host of CBC’s “q”\nCatch them just before their debut at the Grand Ole Opry!\nThe Slocan Ramblers are Canada’s bluegrass band to watch. Rooted in tradition, fearlessly creative and possessing a bold, dynamic sound, The Slocans have become a leading light of today’s acoustic music scene. With a reputation for energetic live shows, impeccable musicianship and an uncanny ability to convert anyone within earshot into a lifelong fan, The Slocans have been winning over audiences from Merlefest to RockyGrass and everywhere in between.\nOn their most recent album “Up the Hill and Through the Fog”, the all-star Canadian roots ensemble channels the past three years of loss into a surprisingly joyous collection of twelve songs intended to uplift and help make sense of the world. Bluegrass music is nothing short of catharsis for The Slocan Ramblers.\n\n \nThough the past few years have brought the group accolades, that same momentum was abruptly halted by the pandemic’s brutal impact on live music. Over the next year, bandmates Adrian Gross and Darryl Poulsen both lost close family members and their bassist decided to step back to spend more time at home. They channeled these tumultuous changes into some of their most honest and direct compositions yet. Up the Hill and Through the Fog showcases the breadth of their varied influences while staying true to their roots in the rough and tumble bluegrass scene of Toronto’s no-nonsense bars and dancehalls. From Frank Evan’s classic, dusty vocals, to John Hartford-inspired lyrical musings, it’s all buttressed by impeccable musicianship, and emotionally raw songwriting from the three core members. This is roots music without pretension, art powerful enough to cut through the fog of the past two years and chart a more hopeful course forward.\n2020 IBMA Momentum Award – Band of the Year\n2019 Juno Nomination – Traditional Roots Album of the Year\n2020 CFMA Award – Traditional Album of the Year\n2020 CFMA Nomination – Ensemble of the Year\nSay hello to your new favourite band.\n\n

SUMMARY:John Southworth
DESCRIPTION:Advance Tickets: $20 available below ( #tickets ) (includes HST + service charge)\nA mercurial English-Canadian singer/songwriter of great craft, elegance, and wit, John Southworth has consistently painted the corners of smart pop eccentricity since arriving on the Toronto scene in the late ’90s. With a penchant for thematic projects with a literate bent, Southworth’s shapeshifting music ranges from the quirky indie pop of releases like 2000’s Banff Springs Transylvania and 2004’s Yosemite to 2012’s lush, orchestral Easterween and the understated jazz and folk of his 2014 masterwork double-LP Niagara. A former film student who directs all of his own videos and published an obscure children’s book in Japan, Southworth has continued to explore and refine his songs on 2019’s subtle Miracle in the Night and the comprehensive 2021 project Rialto which included an album, podcast, novella, and theatrical live show.\n\n\nSouthworth’s father was Peter Shelley ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/1Rqm4lxi4IhNatGFqKSXlW ) (not the Buzzcocks ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/2DxlS3lTLFIq70S7ap5H3y )‘ Pete Shelley ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/7r2lG8Ui6vGHAgsKlE8Hd8 )), a notable English songwriter, producer, and record executive with deep ties to London’s ’70s glam scene and the A&R man responsible for King Crimson ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/7M1FPw29m5FbicYzS2xdpi )‘s success. While neither glam nor prog factored into the cultivated brand of highly crafted pop that he would develop throughout his career, Southworth nonetheless carried on in the family business as an English transplant living in Canada. By his mid-twenties, he had based himself in Toronto where he made his debut, 1996’s Mars, Pennsylvania. Originally released by the small Water Street ( https://open.spotify.com/search/label%3A%22Water%20Street%22 ) imprint, the album earned critical acclaim and was later picked up by U.S. label Bar/None ( https://open.spotify.com/search/label%3A%22Bar%2FNone%22 ), establishing Southworth as a sophisticated and literate indie pop eccentric with a vast record collection and a timeless feel. Over the next several years, he continued to tour North America and released unusual cross-genre pop albums that frequently explored places and characters both real and imagined. 1999’s Sedona, Arizona was followed a year later by Banff Springs Transylvania. The Rose Milk Appalachia EP came next in 2001, making way for 2004’s Yosemite. Each was distinctive and deeply imaginative. Employing a versatile group of players from Toronto’s improv jazz scene as his backing back, which he called the South Seas, Southworth’s music became increasingly organic with heavier jazz and folk tones on 2007’s The Pillowmaker and 2011’s Human Cry. In between those releases, his harder-edged pop and rock tendencies played out on 2009’s hooky Mama Tevatron.\nA penchant for peculiar experimental projects has remained a constant throughout Southworth’s career and he has often released small-run independent singles, EPs, and even full-length albums like 2011’s lo-fi all-acoustic Spiritual War, which was recorded live directly into an inexpensive tape recorder and released only on cassette. His next major release, 2012’s Easterween, was a darkly gothic chamber pop collaboration with cellist Andrew Downing ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/6qrT0ZU5MFkFPYYsBg02mH ), which reflected Southworth’s more theatrical tendencies. It was followed later that year by an oddball collection called Failed Jingles for Bank of America and Other U.S. Corporations which collected 20 wry snippets and actual takes on commercial jingle-writing, all generally under a minute long. His tendency for ambitious concepts came into even sharper focus two years later with the masterful double album Niagara. Like the city it portrayed, the album was split into two sides (Canadian and American) and contained some of the most sublime writing of his prolific career. It also marked the start of a relationship with U.K. label Tin Angel ( https://www.tinangelrecords.com ), which also released the more cerebral and electronic-tinged Small Town Water Tower in 2016. After publishing the eerie children’s book Daydreams for Night, Southworth returned in 2019, again reverting to his subtler, all-acoustic mode on the hushed and jazzy Miracle in the Night. Two years later, he unveiled what is possibly his most ambitious project yet. Self-described as a “mind movie,” Rialto comprised a full-length concept album with fictional characters sung by a full cast of singers (Tamara Lindeman, Felicity Williams ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/33T4AdB86GpO5KZgWkizec ), and others) backed by a string quartet, along with an accompanying novella, podcast, and theatrical stage show. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi\nhttp://johnsouthworth.bandcamp.com\n

In 2013, he conceived and mounted Li’l Andy 3D, the world’s first simultaneous live concert and 3D movie, in collaboration with the NFB.\nKnown for his bitingly witty songwriting and dark country-noir sound, Andy is a two-time award winner at GAMIQ (Quebec Independent Music Awards).\n“… a performer who commands a stage effortlessly through his baritone voice and engaging between-song banter…”.\n— The New York Times\n“★★★★½ While the Engines Burn is a crowning achievement in an already glowing discography… Simply put, this is great.”\n— Nightlife Magazine\n“★★★★ The Montreal-based singer may well have revived and reinvented quintessential Canadiana.”\n— Exclaim!\nwww.lilandy.com\nhttps://lilandy.bandcamp.com/\n\n\n \nCAROLYN MARK\n“Like her close ally Neko Case (with whom she once traded as The Corn Sisters), Mark is a country girl with a wild streak…  In a wondrous voice that’s half Kentucky hick, half Rocky Mountain draught, Mark sings of blonde nymphs in lace panties, tedious wives, racy mistresses and knives driven chestward.”\n— ★★★★ Uncut\n“Carolyn Mark is a headstrong singer with wanderlust and critical-thinking skills that she exercises in songs that never settle for easy answers.”\n— Dave Heaton, PopMatters\n“Really there’s no roots-country chanteuse as engaging as Mark, whose well-intentioned banter is capable of making even the sourest puss at a show crack a smile.”\n— Exclaim!\n“Whether she lands on her feet, or ass-over-teakettle, Mark always sounds like she’s having fun.”\n— No Depression Magazine\nhttps://www.carolynmark.com/\n \n\n\n \nJENNY WHITELEY\nMusic critics have compared Jenny Whiteley’s striking vocals and songwriting to Emmy Lou Harris and Lucinda Williams, raving that she “swings effortlessly from black-hearted back-porch Americana to Laurel Canyon country”.\nShe began her musical career as a child, recording with Canadian children’s musician Raffi along with her brother Dan, and performing with her father, blues musician Chris Whiteley and her stepmother Caitlin Hanford, and her uncle, Ken Whiteley. In the 1990s she performed with the bluegrass band Heartbreak Hill. Just prior to that band’s breakup, she released her self-titled debut album in 2001, and followed up with Hopetown in 2004. Both albums won the Juno Award for Best Roots & Traditional Album of the Year. For Jenny’s latest recording, “The Original Jenny Whiteley”, she was been inspired to channel her early influences and musical life, includes several originals “in the style” of early jazz, jug band and old time music.\nhttp://jennywhiteley.com/\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Bry Webb / Cots
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday October 18th\nDoors at 7:30pm\nShow at 8:30pm\nTickets $20 — advance (see below) ( #tickets ) or at the door\nBRY WEBB\nBry Webb is best known as the singer and principal songwriter in the well-loved and celebrated Canadian underground rock and roll band, The Constantines. During the band’s four-year hiatus from 2010-2014, Webb returned to his one time home of Guelph, Ontario, became a father, and wrote his first album, Provider, released in 2011 by Idée Fixe. The album has been called, “eerie, minimal and organic,” and features acoustic guitar, upright bass, and two steel guitars simultaneously, which has become the signature sound of Bry’s solo material.\nThrough touring festivals and clubs across Canada and the US in 2014, Bry Webb and The Providers became a tight, joyful, freewheeling rootsy folk-rock band, able to move seamlessly from soft, emotive acoustic arrangements to full-on jammed out rock and roll expositions, reminiscent of The Rolling Stones or The Grateful Dead. Their work together is celebrated on the 2015 LP release and concert film, Bry Webb and The Providers Live At Massey Hall.\nBry Webb endeavours to give his songs life by encouraging them to change and exist in different arrangements as time goes by. He tours solo, as a duo with Rich Burnett on lap steel, a trio with Rich and Nathan Lawr, and any combination of Providers, up to the full six-piece band showcased on the Massey Hall LP. He even reworked his songs with the fifteen piece Massey Hall Big Band for a unique performance in the Summer of 2015.\nAs with The Constantines, he believes that playing his music live in front of people in varied and unique spaces is the greatest thing about being a musician.\nWebb’s artistic endeavours as a solo artist have also included an original song commissioned for “This American Life” and a collaboration with long-time friend Feist on her album Metals, as well as contributing music to the film This Beautiful City, for which his song “Big Smoke” received a Genie Award nomination. Webb has also worked on scoring the Discovery Channel Series “The National Parks Project” with Jim Guthrie, Sarah Harmer and filmmaker Scott Smith.\nhttps://brywebb.bandcamp.com/album/provider\n\n\n\nCOTS\nCots is the solo project of Montreal composer, singer, and guitarist Steph Yates. Blending elements of bossa nova, folk, jazz, and classical against a modern art backdrop, Cots’s subtly unconventional compositions and poetics permeate her debut record – the hushed, lush Disturbing Body. Produced by renowned Toronto musician Sandro Perri and engineered by Canadian recording artist Scott Merritt, the record demonstrates Yates’s understated, detailed songcraft and attention to lyrical play. Her pure, crystalline voice carries the gravitas of songs that evoke lost love and its consequences.\n \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Poplar / Jenny Lapp / Liam Fenton
DESCRIPTION:Poplar is a genre bending indie band from Kingston, Ontario known for their intricately arranged lyrics and melodies. Featuring local darlings Kieran L’abbe (vocals, guitar, keys) , Michael Broadhead (bass) and Liam Cole (drums).\nJenny Lapp writes songs rooted in a folk sensibility that span between ethereal drifting and earthly storytelling. Though originally from rural Ontario, for six years she was based out of Halifax, where she came of age with one foot in sacred choral music and the other in the local folk scene. Right now she is making home between Kingston and Montreal. Her music seeks to pull opposites together – it is intricate but clarifying, soft but driving, and both concealing and revealing. She is a member of alt-country supergroup The Darnings, and folk duo Foghorn.\nWith opener Liam Fenton, a local woodworker and musician in equal measure, playing solo originals you won’t want to miss!\n

SUMMARY:Cody Allen James & Good Co.
DESCRIPTION:CODY ALLEN JAMES & GOOD CO. \n\n\nBorn and raised in rural Ontario, Cody Allen James spent the lion’s share of his early years back in the fields of his family’s farm. Raised on an equal blend of Bluegrass and Rock n Roll, Cody began playing guitar in his early teens. However, his natural sense of rhythm and song structure quickly led him to become a go-to drummer for many local hardcore and punk acts. James graduated from his hometown scene and left for Toronto, where he continued to hone his skills as a drummer and vocalist in numerous garage rock and hardcore acts. All the while he had been quietly amassing a catalogue of songs of an entirely different variety – simple, bare, and honest.\nThe pandemic hit bringing all other musical activities to halt, but Cody’s songwriting only accelerated. Sensing he was really onto something, he commissioned the skills of some of his favorite players he has met over the years and had them cut tracks remotely on what would become his self-produced debut. Inspired by the success of his first outing, Cody’s focus has become singular and his well of material overflowing. He has relocated to Kingston to have more time and space to invest in his craft – a decision that pays daily dividends. These days he can be found writing songs in Portsmouth Village.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Equinox Songwriter’s Circle at Wolfe Island Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Featuring four brilliant singer-songwriters who’ve made records right here on Wolfe Island!\nPresented by Hotel Wolfe Island and Wolfe Island Gardens\nfeaturing:\nHugh Christopher Brown\nSuzanne Jarvie\nRocky Roberts\nMichael Harrington\nEnjoy music and the autumn evening around the campfire at the site of Wolfe Island Gardens, a short 2.5km from the Hotel — 433 Hwy 95, at Base Line Road — see the map ( #mec_map_canvas3535 ) for location.\nFREE ADMISSION — Please bring your own chairs\n \nHUGH CHRISTOPHER BROWN\nToronto-born singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Chris Brown has been making music with a purpose since the 1980s, from The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, Chris & Kate, and solo records. Along with his own work, he has appeared both on stage and in the studio with artists ranging from The Tragically Hip to Barenaked Ladies. Currently based in Wolfe Island, Ontario, Brown operates the label Wolfe Island Records and its recording studio built in the former Wolfe Island post office.\n\n\nSUZANNE JARVIE\nSuzanne Jarvie’s debut album, Spiral Road was released in 2014 to rave reviews from the US, Canada, and Europe, comparisons to Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams, and a 2015 nomination from the Independent Music Awards for “Best Concept Album”. No Depression described Jarvie’s voice as “seraphim-pure, reaching out and lifting your spirit often without permission.” Spiral Road documents the painful journey after her oldest son tripped and fell down a spiral staircase, lapsing into a coma in 2011. “It was a bomb,” Suzanne recalls. “I couldn’t breathe. The doctors said he wouldn’t live, but he did.” The miracle of her son’s survival changed Jarvie’s life. While her son was still at the hospital, she began an intense period of songwriting, never having written anything much prior. “It was powerful and strange.”\nJarvie’s sophomore record In the Clear, released in January 2019, picks up where Spiral Road left off – delving deeper into the aftermath of her son’s brain injury – and going beyond it. The tunes tunnel into feelings and impressions that are the essence of Suzanne’s artistry, luminous rabbit holes that merge mysticism with reflections on life’s ups and downs that fans of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan or Lucinda Williams would appreciate.\n\n\nROCKY ROBERTS\nCraig “Rocky” Roberts, touring guitar technician for the likes of Neil Young, Wilco, Patti Smith, CSNY, Paul Simon, Lucinda Williams, Nils Lofgren, and My Morning Jacket, brings his own rootsy sound to the stage with the help of his Wolfe Island musical family. Rocky’s new EP, Pieces of Time, has just been released, to enthusiastic critical acclaim. The first single, Buck Moon, features Norah Jones & Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket):\n“What a sweet and tender bluesy Americana sound for the oncoming summer months. Perfect for swinging in a hammock after a few tequilas. Rocky Robert & Friends EP Pieces of Time is a tranquil beauty… It’s the best of American music, the honorable, gentle, open-hearted kind.”\n— Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros, NoHoArtsDistrict.com\n\n\nMICHAEL HARRINGTON\nMichael Harrington was born in New York and raised in California, the middle child of Marge and Pat Harrington Jr. (Dwayne Schneider on the long-running hit 70’s TV series, One Day At A Time.)\nMusically, Michael was taken equally by the work of acts from both sides of the Atlantic, exposed from an early age to the Byrds and the Beatles (the musical equivalent of the birds and the bees) and since then his pop sensibilities have continued to reflect an equal measure of both American and Anglo influences — as if Aimee Mann married Elvis Costello and their children were Roxy Music and The Grateful Dead. Throw in Filter, Semisonic, little feat, The Band, The Stones, The Who, Peter Gabriel and Squeeze and you get an idea of the range of his influences.\nFirst up for Harrington is Relative North, a collection of 11 songs for and about the lost, dejected, and precious souls of this world, recorded with another famed relative, second cousin once removed, Canada’s own Hugh Christopher Brown. It only took the pair 20 years to collaborate, (hell it took them over 30 years to learn of each other’s existence). Hopefully the follow up won’t take as long.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Melissa Lauren
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Lauren wants to be heard. And not just because of My Voice, her dazzling new jazz-pop crossover gem. The singer-songwriter’s third album is her most accomplished to date and yes, you bet she wants it heard.\nBut her mission is larger than that. As Lauren explains, if there’s an overarching theme to the new album’s 11 songs —a mix of originals and thoughtfully selected covers all expertly helmed by producer, mixer, and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Emond (Tyler Shaw, Alessia Cara, Matt Dusk) — it’s “the boundaries that get in the way of communicating.”\nAnd nothing brings the boundaries quite like a lockdown triggered by a global pandemic, during which Lauren and musician husband Nathan Hiltz were marooned at home together, forced to contemplate themselves and each other as the comfortably distracting routines of daily life evaporated.\nYet by candidly distilling the experience into her songwriting on My Voice, Lauren has created an album that serves as a musical touchstone for anyone struggling to articulate the challenges, good and bad, of managing close relationships during difficult times. Call it a sonic roadmap.\n“It was a tough time for Nathan and me and we got into a lot of fights,” Lauren admits with a laugh. “But I realized it all came down to feeling like you weren’t being heard, to a lack of communication. Signals can get crossed and misunderstandings can happen, but you can’t give up trying to have your voice heard. And you mustn’t forget to listen.”\nIronically, from that uneasy place sprang the vibrant, mostly upbeat songs on My Voice, which are exalted by an ace band including Hiltz on various guitars and banjo, Emond on everything from bass to keyboards, mandolin to guitar, as well as drummer-percussionist Dave MacDougall, pedal steel player Kevin “The General” Neal, and Jessica Deutsch on violin and viola.\nAt the centre of it all is Lauren’s crystal clear, emotive voice which is almost otherworldly in its range. So dexterous are Lauren’s performances that a song by Rufus Wainwright (“Oh What A World”) makes perfect sense alongside one by Cole Porter (“Easy to Love”), another by Irving Berlin (“What’ll I Do”), a Jann Arden pop hit (“Insensitive”) plus Lauren’s own compositions chronicling life in all its messy, lovely, weird, infuriating grandeur.\n\n“Jazz is my first love, and those standards were important to include,” she says, adding — take note jazz fans — that she wrote her own intro for “What’ll I Do” and a set of alternate lyrics to Walter Donaldson’s “My Blue Heaven,” dedicated to her husband and which daughter Leah abetted.\nLauren continues: “At the same time, I think there’s something for everyone on this album. Musically, I can grab people who might not typically like jazz while lyrically, there are conversations almost everyone has had at some point in their life. My Voice dances between new and old, jazz and pop.”\nIndeed, the album does waltz between intriguing themes and shape-shifting aural landscapes. Take the first single, the gently orchestral, undulating Lauren original “The Day We Stopped.” The song was sparked by a moment of mentally stepping outside of a heavy conflict with her husband, to take a minute to feel the sun. “That song was raw and very much in the moment,” she says.\nElsewhere, Lauren gives voice to a woman who kills her abusive husband because a bird on her shoulder tells her to (the inky, snaking, bass-led ballad “My Blue Friend”); contemplates two people lost from each other despite being in the same car (“Back to You,” which drapes Lauren’s silken voice across simple acoustic guitar); and the soaring gospel-tinged title track “which is about illuminating each other’s voices.”\nThe new album also sharpened Lauren’s writing while giving way to a new way of working. “I don’t wait around for inspiration. I treat songwriting like a job. But I am always alert to inspiration so that when I do put pen to paper, I have things to draw from.\n“One thing that was different this time around was I’d make note of songs I’d hear watching a movie or shopping or whatever. When time came to write and I was seeking inspiration, I’d go back and listen to those songs and ask myself how I could capture that essence,” she laughs “but without ripping anything off!”\nCentral to the album was producer Emond who Lauren says was uniquely able to interpret her vision, no matter what form that took. “I’d say something like, ‘Let’s make it moody, desert, nice’ and he’d know exactly what I wanted,” she howls.\n“Tyler is a fantastic musician and extremely well-versed in jazz, classical, world music. He also knows how to make something radio-friendly. I am proud of how Tyler and I worked within the jazz-pop spectrum, making deliberate choices as to which side each song would fall.”\nNot that a single genre could define Lauren’s diverse career anyway. Beginning as a teenager, she performed throughout North America with the Toronto All-Star Big Band, all the while developing herself as an inimitable songwriter and performer.\n\nTwo previous solo albums, 2015’s Your Mess and 2012’s The Other Side, gathered universal acclaim, leading to marquee performances across Canada and around the world including (but not limited to) Folk Alliance International, the Halifax International Jazz Festival, and the New Skool Rules Festival in the Netherlands, plus concerts in Eastern Europe.\nAdditionally, her voice was featured on five tracks by Montreal electronic producer Hibernate, one included on a compilation by British dance pioneer Paul Oakenfold. Yet despite these many disparate potential avenues for success, Lauren’s focus remains squarely on her own voice, brilliantly showcased on My Voice.\n“I sincerely hope the album gets radio play,” she says. “It’s a great way to reach people and have them hear the songs as they were intended, not reconfigured for a live setting. That said, I cannot wait to get out there and tour the album this fall.”\nhttps://melissalaurenmusic.ca/epk ( https://melissalaurenmusic.ca/epk )\n

SUMMARY:Emilie Steele & The Deal / Brookfield Line
DESCRIPTION:Brookfield Line \nBrookfield Line is a 4-piece rock & roll outfit from St. John’s, Newfoundland. Their piano-driven, harmony-heavy sound draws on popular rock music from the 60’s and 70’s. The band’s energetic live shows feature original material from each of the band’s 3 vocalist-songwriters, arranged in a classic rock and roll style.\nEmilie Steele & The Deal \nEmilie Steele & The Deal is a melody maze of catchy hooks, and toe tapping turnarounds, delivered with a spirited life force. The band developed their sound gigging around Kingston before releasing their 2019 eponymous EP of unabashed indie rock, animated retro ditties, and reaching alt-country ballads. Steele’s vocal sensibilities, amusing candour, and clever turns of phrase ignite alongside the weaving riffs and driving rhythms of her electrifying bandmates.\nhttps://www.emiliesteelethedeal.com/media ( https://www.emiliesteelethedeal.com/media )\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Simon Kempston
DESCRIPTION:Scottish singer-songwriter and leading acoustic finger style guitarist Simon Kempston has toured the world performing his highly original, contemporary acoustic songs and music. A unique talent, his beautifully crafted material showcases his incredible, distinctive and intricate fingerstyle guitar-work and his gently nuanced, compelling tenor vocals. An inspiring, poetic lyricist, Simon’s impassioned live performances showcase timeless songwriting with a universal appeal, interspersed with humorous worldly tales. This long overdue return to wolfe Island in support of his brand new critically acclaimed album is unmissable.\n‘one of Scotland’s very best songwriters’ — The Sunday Herald\n\n \nThere are very few artists who manage to create a sound on an acoustic guitar which is distinctive, instantly recognisable.  Simon’s complex finger-picking style, which draws from the disparate genres of classical, celtic and blues (amongst others) confirms he is certainly one such artist, his subtle style providing the perfect accompaniment for his rich, powerful and compelling tenor vocals.\nHis outstanding songs showcase thought-provoking, inspiring poetic lyrics which often sidestep the usual themes of love and attraction, in favour of offering crucial, important political and social commentary.  Fascinations with architecture, travel and English literature have all informed his impressive lyrical style, words which can stand alone as poetry in their own right apart from the music.\nLive performances are well-known for their intensity, Simon’s true passion for music and songs shine through in his critically acclaimed shows.  With more than a decade of international touring behind him in 31 European countries, Siberian Russia, Uzbekistan (the first Scottish artist to do so), Canada (7 tours), New Zealand, Argentina and Brazil he has performed at a countless number of esteemed venues, festivals, and on a plethora of international radio and television stations.\nSimon’s latest album (his ninth as a singer-songwriter), saw him reignite his relationship with Ian McCalman as producer and it is his most honest, direct and heartfelt collection of songs yet, the perfect companion piece for these troubled times.   ‘You Can’t Win Every Time’, released in September 2022, showcases his sheer talent for songwriting of the highest order.\nNever one to follow expectations, only his prolific, creative muse, in June 2023 Simon will release his first album of classical guitar pieces, entitled ‘Moonrise Over Mostar’, following on from four instrumental acoustic guitar albums.  Immerse yourself in the soundscape of this incredibly talented performer and allow his beautifully crafted music to transport you on a uniquely Scottish journey.\nhttp://www.simonkempston.co.uk\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Wolfe Island Records Songfest — featuring Suzanne Jarvie, Rocky Roberts, Chris Brown & Stephen Stanley
DESCRIPTION:A showcase of Wolfe Island Records artists — four brilliant singer-songwriters who’ve made records right here on Wolfe Island.\nSUZANNE JARVIE\nSuzanne Jarvie’s debut album, Spiral Road was released in 2014 to rave reviews from the US, Canada, and Europe, comparisons to Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams, and a 2015 nomination from the Independent Music Awards for “Best Concept Album”. No Depression described Jarvie’s voice as “seraphim-pure, reaching out and lifting your spirit often without permission.” Spiral Road documents the painful journey after her oldest son tripped and fell down a spiral staircase, lapsing into a coma in 2011. “It was a bomb,” Suzanne recalls. “I couldn’t breathe. The doctors said he wouldn’t live, but he did.” The miracle of her son’s survival changed Jarvie’s life. While her son was still at the hospital, she began an intense period of songwriting, never having written anything much prior. “It was powerful and strange.”\nJarvie’s sophomore record In the Clear, released in January 2019, picks up where Spiral Road left off – delving deeper into the aftermath of her son’s brain injury – and going beyond it. The tunes tunnel into feelings and impressions that are the essence of Suzanne’s artistry, luminous rabbit holes that merge mysticism with reflections on life’s ups and downs that fans of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan or Lucinda Williams would appreciate.\n\n\nROCKY ROBERTS\nCraig “Rocky” Roberts, touring guitar technician for the likes of Neil Young, Wilco, Patti Smith, CSNY, Paul Simon, Lucinda Williams, Nils Lofgren, and My Morning Jacket, brings his own rootsy sound to the stage with the help of his Wolfe Island musical family. Rocky’s new EP, Pieces of Time, has just been released, to enthusiastic critical acclaim. The first single, Buck Moon, features Norah Jones & Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket):\n“What a sweet and tender bluesy Americana sound for the oncoming summer months. Perfect for swinging in a hammock after a few tequilas. Rocky Robert & Friends EP Pieces of Time is a tranquil beauty… It’s the best of American music, the honorable, gentle, open-hearted kind.”\n— Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros, NoHoArtsDistrict.com\n\nHUGH CHRISTOPHER BROWN\nToronto-born singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Chris Brown has been making music with a purpose since the 1980s, from The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, Chris & Kate, and solo records. Along with his own work, he has appeared both on stage and in the studio with artists ranging from The Tragically Hip to Barenaked Ladies. Currently based in Wolfe Island, Ontario, Brown operates the label Wolfe Island Records and its recording studio built in the former Wolfe Island post office.\n\n\nSTEPHEN STANLEY\nCanadian singer-songwriter and guitarist Stephen Stanley is best known from his many years as a founding member, lead guitarist and vocalist with alternative rock band The Lowest of the Low. After years of touring and sharing the stage with the likes of Billy Bragg, The Violent Femmes, The Jayhawks and Lloyd Cole, a gold record for their “genuinely timeless album” (Exclaim!) Shakespeare My Butt, Stanley now leads his own band, The Stephen Stanley Band and has logged other monumental shows with 54•40, Bob Mould, Cracker, Jake Clemons and Willie Nile. The band also played at the 2018 Static Roots Festival in Germany and then went on to tour the UK and Ireland. He has also branched into radio, hosting the show Northern Wish on The Bay 88.7 FM in Muskoka, Ontario.\nAmericana UK described the band’s 2018 album Jimmy & The Moon and Stephen’s artistry this way: “The songs are big and bold, unafraid, unashamed to flaunt their heritage… Stanley’s voice being not a thing of beauty but a workman’s tool skillfully used to create just the right effect…”. Stephen Stanley’s new album is completed, and will be released later in 2023.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Colleen Brown + Sarah Hiltz
DESCRIPTION:Prairie-raised multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Colleen Brown tears at our hearts as she does her own. With versatile songs weaving elements of folk, roots, Americana and pop, and a voice akin to Joni Mitchell, she is relentlessly unafraid to look for beauty in the darker corners of human existence – and her own relationships. Brown’s latest and eighth full-length album, WINGING IT, a consummate, complex “breakup” album, is vulnerable and authentic – full of captivating vocals and unpredictable sonic turns. The album demonstrates why CBC says she is “One of Canada’s premiere songwriters. With a voice like a clarion call she’s one of our premiere singers, too”. Since its release in October of 2022, Winging It has received frequent airplay on CBC and Campus radio in Canada, reaching #1 at CKUA, and has been featured by prominent folk radio DJs across the U.S. Colleen continues to be a beloved live performer, having won over audiences opening for Randy Newman, Jim Cuddy, Rufus Wainwright, Crash Test Dummies, Whitehorse, Frank Black, Kathleen Edwards, Sarah Harmer and Hawksley Workman, among others. Her song  ‘I Can’t Wrap My Heart Around It’ was placed in CBC’s Burden Of Truth, the song ‘Motherland’ won a province wide songwriting contest in 2015 in Alberta, and the powerful ballad ‘I Love All Of You’ was a finalist in the Unsigned Only International Songwriting Competition in 2017.\n\nSarah Hiltz is a singer-songwriter based in Toronto, Canada. Her new album CALM FURY is a collection of songs that grew out of her research into the ways we humans experience, express and suppress anger in modern society, especially women. Hiltz’s craft as a songwriter grew from a desire to bring nuanced expression to complex situations, and her lyrics often live in the tension between two seemingly-opposed truths. Her previous album, Beauty In The Blue, centred around the theme of finding beauty in moments of hardship, so it’s no surprise the artist didn’t hesitate to dive into the subject of anger, in spite of the discomfort it might cause. Hiltz has independently released four full-length albums and two EPs since 2009. Her work over the last decade as a talented singer-songwriter has landed her Folk Music Ontario’s Songs From The Heart Award (Political Category), opening slots for Canadian icons Gordon Lightfoot and Ron Hynes, Top 3 placement in a nation-wide music competition (She’s The One), a Best Folk Album nomination (Toronto Independent Music Awards) and earned her an invitation to give a TEDx talk in 2014.\nhttps://colleenbrownmusic.com/ ( https://colleenbrownmusic.com/ )\n \n\n \n

DESCRIPTION:Location: Hotel Wolfe Island, on the patio stage\nTime: 5pm\nPrice: PWYC $25 suggested donation\nAttention dance and music lovers! If you haven’t heard of Lia Grainger and Flamencolía Ensemble yet, you’re in for a treat. The incredible talent of this ensemble has been blowing audiences across Canada away with their spectacular flamenco music and dance performances.\nFor those of you who don’t know, flamenco is a style of music and dance that originates in Spain. It’s known for its hypnotic rhythms, passionate singing and dancing, and intricate guitar playing. Flamencolía Ensemble is an esteemed group of nationally renowned flamenco artists, including Dora Award-nominated dancer Lia Grainger, who has toured Canada and Europe for the past seven years, and recently returned to Canada after 5 years living in Seville, the cradle of flamenco. Jewish-Indigenous flamenco singer and dancer Tamar Ilana also joins the ensemble. Tamar is a pillar of the world music and dance community in Toronto, and also heads the prolific Mediterranean ensemble, Ventanas. Joining them is legendary Canadian flamenco guitarist Nicolás Hernández (formerly of Jesse Cook’s touring ensemble), along with Latin singing sensation Ana Lía, who has just released a new solo album and brings a Dominican spice to the group. Flamencolía Ensemble performs flamenco music and dance that is alive with passion and infused with Latin, Mediterranean and contemporary flair.\n \n\n \n

SUMMARY:WOLFECHELLA: By Divine Right / Shotgun Jimmie
DESCRIPTION:Wolfechella is a 3 day festival happening at Hotel Wolfe Island between Friday, July 28 and Sunday July 30th.\nAdvanced ticket sales have ended — tickets are now available at the venue for both weekend passes and individual day tickets.\nDAY ONE details — click here ( https://hotelwolfeisland.com/events/wolfechella-day-1/ )\nDAY TWO details — click here ( https://hotelwolfeisland.com/events/wolfechella-day-2/ )\nOn Sunday, July 30th…\n3pm Special guest Wolfechella DJs on the patio. You never know who might drop by and what you might hear – but you KNOW it’ll be good!\n4:30pm Shotgun Jimmy on the big outdoor stage\n5:30pm  By Divine Right on the big outdoor stage\nArtist Bios…\nShotgun Jimmie is the stage name of Jim Kilpatrick, a Canadian singer-songwriter. Formerly associated with the band Shotgun & Jaybird, since that band’s breakup he has released several albums as a solo artist. His 2011 album Transistor Sister was named as a longlisted nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize\nhttps://shotgunjimmie.net/ ( https://shotgunjimmie.net/ )\nBy Divine Right is a Canadian indie rock ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indie_rock ) band led by guitarist ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar ) and vocalist José Miguel Contreras.\n“It will be more us, and at the same time, wider.”\nThat’s how By Divine Right’s Jose Contreras described the band’s next move in March 1995 for a cover story in Exclaim! Magazine. It’s a philosophy that has dominated the indie rock outfit’s approach since Contreras first put that name on a self-recorded cassette in 1989, and through seven albums, almost as many labels, and dozens of band-mates, By Divine Right have proven to be more Jose, and at the same time, wider.\nBy Divine Right haven’t always moved easily through the music landscape. When they hit their stride in the mid-1990s, they were swept up in the first Canadian indie rock boom — on the heels of Toronto acts like Change of Heart signing to major labels, and scenes like Halifax’s pop explosion vaulting Sloan, Thrush Hermit and jale into the global spotlight — By Divine Right were ripe to be plucked from the independent farm system, and were, by Nettwerk, for 1997’s All Hail Discordia and 1999’s Bless This Mess.\nTo call By Divine Right the Velvet Underground of Canada is silly and absurd, but a truth spoken about the latter might equally apply to the former — many, many fans of By Divine Right have gone on to form bands. (Of course, many of those bands — from Broken Social Scene to Meligrove Band and Rock Plaza Central — also include one-time members of By Divine Right.)\nIn By Divine Right — and specifically in the form of front-man Jose Contreras — fans found a kindred spirit, one who channelled all the power of expression, love of music and desire for connection and community through the shared experience of music. Whether it’s watching Contreras rip into a guitar solo dear to my old man heart, like “Fat Favour” from 1996 EP Some, or if “Little You,” an absurdly charming slice of pop from last year’s Organized Accidents, BDR are a vaccine against cynicism.\nNot every By Divine Right song was a hit, but almost all of them are tapped into the mysterious pleasure centers that strike at the heart of music lovers. Jose Contreras is endowed with the blessing/curse of the pop gene. It’s not on Jose that the hit factory was devastated by music industry layoffs before one of his hundreds of pop sparks burst into worldwide flame. But it also meant he’s never quite found solid footing in the shifting sands of indie rock culture, nor enjoyed the luscious fruits of success so many peers — myself included — have predicted would come.\nIn the last decade, old guard music nerds could have brought Jose down with constant talk of woulda-couldas and next big thing laments. But instead, Jose Contreras is the spiritual tide that has lifted so many young Canadian music boats. To know Jose is to know a love of life, of music, of expression and of community. He wouldn’t dare mention that Polaris Music Prize founder Steve Jordan signed the band to their first record deal with Kinetic in 1995. He’s not interested in flouting former bandmates like Leslie Feist, Brendan Canning’s Broken Social Scene or Holy Fuck’s Brian Borcherdt. More than he wants to write an infectious hook, he wants to be an infectious human — for music, community, love and enthusiasm. Do yourself a big fat favour and enjoy the legacy of one of Canada’s great, unsung treasures.   ~  James Keast\nhttp://www.bydivineright.ca/ ( http://www.bydivineright.ca/ )\n

Need to know more? Come early to catch this first act at Wolfechella!\nThe Get Alongs are a Toronto-based band that have been a part of the live scene across Ontario and Montreal for the past three years. The four-man crew never fail to deliver; their live sets show you how to live purely in the moment. It’s something else if you’re able to attend one of their shows; watching the band play with bloody hands and rip their shirts off halfway through a set, you’ll understand what it means to enjoy music with pure abandon. Their music can’t be encapsulated into a single genre; from college rock, new wave, fusion, to country, The Get Alongs play to their own tune and are constantly experimenting.\nTongue Tied & Twisted/Across The Lawn by The Get Alongs ( https://thegetalongs.bandcamp.com/album/tongue-tied-twisted-across-the-lawn )\nTheo Vandenhoff is a synthpop artist from Toronto who creates infectious and melodramatic pop songs for the painfully lonely. Vandenhoff twists a multitude of influences, mostly from the 70s and 80s, into his own brand of off-kilter synthetic pop music.\nAlles Ist Besser by Theo Vandenhoff ( https://theovandenhoff.bandcamp.com/track/alles-ist-besser )\nDanny Sheahan is an electro-acoustic composer based in Toronto. On this night, Danny plans to lead us on a drone filled journey in the piano lounge while making full use of the hotel’s Steinway piano. After a day of dancing outdoors, Danny is going to bring us in as we transition into the late night side of Wolfechella.\n\nDJs Chris Rikkerink and Moon Hymns to follow with deep sets of jazz, soul, boogie and more!\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Co-Conspirators
DESCRIPTION:The Co-Conspirators is a Hemmingford, QC based duo playing folk/singer-songwriter music with elements of country, rock, blues, gospel, bluegrass, spiritual, and general roots music. With heavy emphasis on vocal harmonies, this duo had been compared to The Weavers, Ian and Sylvia Tyson and Richard and Linda Thompson. They perform mostly original music along with some traditional and contemporary covers.\nFounded in 2012 by singer/songwriter/guitarist Will Richards, The Co-Conspirators really took off when Richards met Katherine Simons and they began performing together. Simons comes from a very musical family and is a classically trained french horn player and percussionist. Her pure, angelic voice stands in contrast to the more raw style of Richards’.\nMostly performing as a duo, they do occasionally add various instruments available to them such as bass, drums, percussion, flute, clarinet, lead guitar, violin, cello, harmonica, banjo, auto harp, and vibraphone.\nAt the end of April 2019, they released their first full length recording: Shadowing the Organ Tuner (with full band accompaniment), and have been touring across Canada ever since; performing 100s of shows in all provinces.\nThe Co-Conspirators toured almost non-stop until March of 2020 but have since – like all musicians – been on a greatly reduced schedule.\nOn January 5th 2022 they released their second full length album, The Unreliable Narrators.\nThey continue to tour extensively and will be at Hotel Wolfe Island on July 20th! Catch them on the patio at 7pm.\nhttp://theco-conspirators.com/ ( http://theco-conspirators.com/ )\nhttps://www.facebook.com/TheCoConspirators\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Bill Kirchen / Rocky Roberts & Friends
DESCRIPTION:BILL KIRCHEN\nGrammy-nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide, and elicit instant recognition. Named a “Titan of the Telecaster” by Guitar Player Magazine, he celebrates a musical tradition that embraces rock ‘n’ roll, blues and bluegrass, Texas Western swing and California honky-tonk. Nick Lowe describes Bill as “… a devastating culmination of the elegant and funky… a really sensational musician, with enormous depth.”\nJustly famous for his indelible Telecaster sound, Bill Kirchen has been everywhere over the span of a 40-plus-year career: he was a founding member of the legendary Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen; he released eight critically acclaimed solo albums; he toured internationally with Nick Lowe and has performed with Doug Sahm, Gene Vincent, Elvis Costello, Dan Hicks, Emmylou Harris, Bruce Hornsby and Link Wray.\nBill received his Grammy nomination in 2001. A winner of multiple Wammies over the years, in 2002 he was one of three artists inducted into the Washington D.C. Area Music Association Hall of Fame along with Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) and John Philip Sousa. Bill is an architect of what is now known as Roots Rock ‘n’ Roll and Americana, and still continues to be one of its most active proponents, playing, writing and performing throughout the world.\nIn demand on the lecture circuit, he has spoken at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC as part of the “Electrified, Amplified and Deified – The Electric Guitar” exhibition and at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. He was interviewed on the national TV special “Yesterday and Today: Honky Tonk & Western Swing” at the Broken Spoke in Austin, TX, where he performed along with Hank Thompson, Doug Sahm, Don Walser and more. Bill was a keynote speaker at the International Conference on Elvis Presley in Memphis and currently finds time to lead workshops and instruct at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch and the Augusta Heritage Center.\nhttps://www.billkirchen.com/official\nROCKY ROBERTS & FRIENDS\nOpening the show is our own local hero — Craig “Rocky” Roberts, touring guitar technician for the likes of Neil Young, Wilco, Patti Smith, CSNY, Paul Simon, Lucinda Williams, Nils Lofgren, and My Morning Jacket, brings his own rootsy sound to the stage with the help of his Wolfe Island musical family.\nRocky’s new EP, Pieces of Time, has just been released, to enthusiastic critical acclaim. The first single, Buck Moon, features Norah Jones & Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket):\n“What a sweet and tender bluesy Americana sound for the oncoming summer months. Perfect for swinging in a hammock after a few tequilas. Rocky Robert & Friends EP Pieces of Time is a tranquil beauty… It’s the best of American music, the honorable, gentle, open-hearted kind.”\n— Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros, NoHoArtsDistrict.com\n \n\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Emily Triggs / John Borra
DESCRIPTION:We’re pleased to welcome Emily Triggs back to the Hotel Wolfe Island, and for the first time, Canadian indie music legend John Borra!\nEMILY TRIGGS\nEmily Triggs is a bred-in-the-bones roots musician. In her second album ‘Middletown’, the guitarist, singer-songwriter takes you on a journey through influences and experiences that have shaped her folk/roots sound.\n“I’m pushing the boundaries of what I consider folk – and bringing in influences I’ve had over the years,” she says. Those influences span the Deep South with the likes of Lead Belly, through Texas blues, strains from the Appalachian Mountains to her early years in French Canada.\nA regular performer at family gatherings and parties since she was small enough to fit inside a guitar case, Emily’s natural talent was honed in Hemmingford, Quebec. Her mother, Louise Demers Triggs was a dancer in the folk troupe Les Feux-Follets. Her father, Stanley Triggs, was a folk singer in the 1960s and has songs that can be found within Smithsonian Folkways.\n\n\nThe youngest of five growing up in a mix of English and French culture, it was in living room jam sessions with local and visiting musicians that Emily learned the history and art of lyrical composition and performance. By age eleven she was playing guitar, writing songs and performing.\nMusic was her calling. Emily studied music at Montreal’s Dawson College, then headed south to Elkins, West Virginia. There she studied a minor in music and immersed herself in the Appalachian folk music culture. Calgary was the next stop where she has broken more than a few guitar strings as a solo performer, along with singing as the sweet side of the House Doctors, or as one of the seraphs in Magnolia Buckskin.\nAs a songwriter, her philosophy is simple: all of life’s experiences, for better or worse, can be mined for the raw materials of a good song – hence her mantra of “no regrets”. She is an observer of the world around us.\n”I’ll hear someone’s story and think, ‘Man, how was that for you. I feel for people, and it really is a release to be able to let it out through my art,” she says.\nEmily shares stories through her songs with an endearing simplicity and emotional depth. With a pure and true vocal, complementing a solid base of undeniably roots music composition, Emily engages the listener. Her music grips the heart and elevates the soul. Her songs are double edged, unapologetic and a unique sound in the genre of folk/roots.\nEmily has been singing festivals, clubs and coffee houses and has become known as an established Canadian singer songwriter. She has been a member of bands: “The House Doctors”, “The Fallen Angel Band”, “June Gloom” and “Magnolia Buckskin”.\nhttps://www.emilytriggs.com\n \nJOHN BORRA\nIt’s fair to say that John Borra has seen and done it all within the Toronto alternative music scene, from witnessing the first stirrings of punk as a kid in the late 1970s, to joining his first bands at the dawn of the alt-rock movement in the 1980s, and forging a solo career during the roots music renaissance that followed.\nHis new album, Cassettes In Common, pays tribute to virtually all of those eras by presenting Borra’s new interpretations of 10 songs by fellow singer/songwriters who helped build the scene, such as Ron Sexsmith, Kyp Harness, Bob Snider, Sam Larkin and Frank Nevada. Assisting Borra in the studio was another group of Toronto underground legends including Michael Timmins of Cowboy Junkies, Blue Rodeo keyboardist Mike Boguski, original Blue Rodeo drummer Cleave Anderson, Doughboys/Rusty guitarist Scott McCullough, fiddler extraordinaire Miranda Mulholland, Handsome Ned guitarist Steve Koch, and Borra’s longtime friends and collaborators Sam Ferrara and Johnny MacLeod.\n“These are songs by people I know or have known, which gives it an extra specialness for me,” Borra says. “Some of them have never had a commercial release and some others are pretty obscure—or at least not in the popular consciousness. I think all of the songs and artists here are top notch and deserve recognition. It’s also how we keep songs alive. By doing them. It’s part of the folk tradition.”\n\n\nMoreoever, the first focus track from Cassettes In Common pays tribute to Vancouver legend Art Bergmann. “Sleep,” from Bergmann’s acclaimed 1990 album Sexual Roulette is, like much of Bergmann’s work, a pull-no-punches observation of a dysfunctional relationship, which Borra treats with heartbreaking empathy. “Sleep” sets a high bar for the rest of the album, but the personal connection Borra has with all of these songs is its greatest strength. “I suppose the song with deepest personal connection is ‘October Night’ by Frank Nevada,” he says. “In 1991, Frank and I went to Europe to try our hands at playing music on the streets and hopefully have a fun summer in a far off land. We’d heard that Europeans had a greater respect for street musicians and you could make decent money playing music for the public at large. This turned out to be true and we had a wonderful adventure that lasted six months for me and turned into four years for Frank. At some point we acquired a benefactor/patron of the arts who bought us each a little cassette recorder. After I got home there was a period where we would send each other audio letters we’d record on our little cassette players. Frank sent me a recording of this song he’d written after I’d left and I’ve always loved it. It addresses our time together, the seasons changing, and expresses a loneliness of being on his own with an uncertain future ahead. Or at least that’s my take on it. He’s never recorded it and I’m glad that I was\nfinally able to.”\nAs well, Borra is paying tribute to his own past in a way by simultaneously giving his first solo release, the 1997 self-titled John Borra cassette, its first CD/digital reissue. Featuring his longtime live staples, “Last Sexy City On Earth,” “Who’s Pickin’ On You” and “In The Afternoon,” it’s a collection that still holds up as prime example of Canadian alt-country.\nBoth new releases follow Borra’s last solo album, 2020’s Blue Wine, which Exclaim! called, “A fine collection of songs from an artist meriting more attention,” and UK blogger The Rocking Magpie described as, “equal parts poetic Honky Tonk and revved up Punkish barn burners.”\nBlending those two sounds has been Borra’s mission for the past several decades, and now with Cassettes In Common, he’s pulled back the curtain in a sense on what’s helped him achieve thatseamless balance.\n“I’m inspired by every one of the artists on this record,” he says. “That’s why I’ve wanted to do a\nrecord like this for a long time now. When I first started playing in bands, my heroes were the likes of Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, and MC5. All of those artists put out music they believed in and stuck to their guns despite a lack of commercial success at the time. I’ve always tried to use that approach as my barometer and it’s served me well over the years. I have very few regrets from a lifetime of doing this and I see no reason to change at this point.”\nhttps://johnborra.com/\n

SUMMARY:Teddy Kumpel and Nome Sane?
DESCRIPTION:Part of the 6th Annual\nWOLFE ISLAND GARDEN PARTY\na celebration of Culture and Agriculture\nJune 8 – 18, 2023\n\nNome Sane? is a melodic, hilariously entertaining, trippy, prog – funk – rock power trio centered around Teddy Kumpel’s writing and guitar playing. Bob Stander is featured on bass and “story telling” (in very small doses!) Matt Miller does the drums in a good way.\nNew York City-based Teddy Kumpel played guitar on the Grammy winning album “Home” by Tim Kubart, sang backgrounds with Nine Inch Nails on the MTV music awards, toured and/or recorded with Joe Jackson, Rickie Lee Jones, Goodie Mob, Feist, Toots Hibbert, played on many soundtracks including Anchorman and Talladega Nights, produced, engineered and helped develop many artists all while nurturing his own art and unique vision over his 30 year + career.\nhttps://www.teddykumpel.com/nomesane\nhttps://linktr.ee/teddykumpel\n \n\n \nKevin Wonders of the Squirrel by Teddy Kumpel and Nome Sane? (with Bob Stander and Matt Miller) ( https://teddykumpel.bandcamp.com/album/kevin-wonders-of-the-squirrel )\n \nREVIEWS\n“Guitar hero-worthy, for sure. Love the writing and the harmonies, the sonic colors and different vibes, and the overall pace. Your soloing is first-rate, as always, with lots of fresh, original ideas and a ton of terrific guitar sounds and personalities. Matt is the man, and Bob sounds great playing seeing-eye support bass with great tones (and if that’s his bass fuzz solo on Plastic Smile, very cool, I know he’s also a great guitarist). I especially dug Mask (the harmony), Porridge Storage (funk in 5), Fudgie (the extreme style mashup), Pimento Ano (thick with vibe), Pyonkle (that outro color change is magical!), and my favorite track is Doozy, so many Teddy-isms and a killer hook!”\nChris Jisi — Bass Player Magazine\n“Guitarist/composer Teddy Kumpel (Joe Jackson, Rickie Lee Jones) leads this trio, with Bob Stander on bass and Matt Miller on drums, on a far-reaching excursion through 12 stylistically diverse tracks. Teddy’s credo—“I strive for uniqueness that straddles melodic beauty and funky experimentation”—is front and center on tracks such as, “Cringesome,” which pivots between meters of 5/4, 9/8, and 7/4 with the effortlessness and precision of King Crimson’s Robert Fripp and Bill Bruford, while combining the sophistication of the Mahavishnu Orchestra with Tony Williams Lifetime-like grease. The inspired spontaneity at the heart of this record offers a lot for fans of rock, funk, fusion and unadulterated musical fearlessness.”\nAndy Aledort — Guitar World Magazine\n \nNome Sane? Teddy Kumpel’s tweaked virtuosity\nRIC MOLINA FEB 3, 2023\nA couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of catching Teddy Kumpel’s trio NOME SANE? At The Bitter End in NYC. It was Teddy’s birthday so the mood was high and these guys delivered in spades.\nTeddy Kumpel is a well known, highly respected guitar wizard from Port Jefferson, LI which immediately makes him a homeboy, being from Long Island myself. I won’t belabor the issue or put a bunch of famous names in parentheses to give the man cred. All you have to do is look him up and you’ll get the pedigree but I suggest you grab a piece of the group’s latest release Kevin Wonders of the Squirrel, and give it a spin.\nAll original music and one inspired cover are on the menu and there’s a treat on every single track. Impeccably realized strangeness full of chops and humor runs through the entire experience with laugh out loud harmonic and melodic twists. Kumpel shows how truly masterful he is at weaving melodies never falling into displays or cliches unless they are ironically lined up against the wall and massacred. What a delight.\nCan we talk about touch? Teddy has been at it a long time; so relaxed and comfortable leading an elephant around the shop with a feather. Beautifully expressive whammy touches that never stray into wank remind me of Jeff Beck. Kumpel’s dynamic control is from full bloom fusillades of grey foam noise to delicate clean tings that drift around the room spelling unexpected Lydian colors and hidden chutes into the dark rooms of Nome Same?’s funhouse.\nBob Stander plays old school bass with a sound reminiscent of the best of the best when an SVT, Traynor or a Sunn Coloseum was in the basement. A charging and authoritative presence belies the fact that you can’t stop laughing at his antics. The voiceovers on Nome Sane?’s recording are weird AF, kinda like the best Firesign Theater bits, Cheech and Chong, Zappa, Beefhart, or Tom Waits. The live show is bent in the direction of self-effacing lunacy but don’t kid yourself, there’s a rabid intelligence behind the curtain and when it’s time to shred and soar Nome Sane? delivers in a shockingly good way. Unaffected and unique, there’s no science project math jazz here, no beer commercial shred-spooge and there’s nothing shy or polite in their bones. What a relief!\nThe drums expertly commanded by Matt Miller are big, bombastic and booming without ever being showy. Miller’s groove is fat when it’s time to rock, finessed and lilting in the best Jamaican style and downright crushing in all kinds of over the bar line phrases and compound time signatures. Always organic and solid as a rock, the duo of Miller and Stander is a dream machine to any soloist or general space traveler. Teddy Kumpel deserves this kind of support but in all honestly it’s readily apparent that these goats are old homies who stand equally in the music and in their collective world view.\nIn a time where conformity equals success, Nome Sane? serves up the antidote to being fed a load of horseshit passing for music. Categories and silos have nothing to do with imagination. These guys are living proof that the sound in your head is the only sound worth making.\n

SUMMARY:Cody Allen James & Good Co. / Brock Mattsson
DESCRIPTION:Part of the 6th Annual\nWOLFE ISLAND GARDEN PARTY\na celebration of Culture and Agriculture\nJune 8 – 18, 2023\nPLEASE NOTE — There will be no Open Mic tonight. Open Mic Wednesdays will resume on June 21st.\nCODY ALLEN JAMES & GOOD CO.\nBorn and raised in rural Ontario, Cody Allen James spent the lion’s share of his early years back in the fields of his family’s farm. Raised on an equal blend of Bluegrass and Rock n Roll, Cody began playing guitar in his early teens. However, his natural sense of rhythm and song structure quickly led him to become a go-to drummer for many local hardcore and punk acts. James graduated from his hometown scene and left for Toronto, where he continued to hone his skills as a drummer and vocalist in numerous garage rock and hardcore acts. All the while he had been quietly amassing a catalogue of songs of an entirely different variety – simple, bare, and honest.\nThe pandemic hit bringing all other musical activities to halt, but Cody’s songwriting only accelerated. Sensing he was really onto something, he commissioned the skills of some of his favorite players he has met over the years and had them cut tracks remotely on what would become his self-produced debut. Inspired by the success of his first outing, Cody’s focus has become singular and his well of material overflowing. He has relocated to Kingston to have more time and space to invest in his craft – a decision that pays daily dividends. These days he can be found writing songs in Portsmouth Village.\nhttps://www.instagram.com/buffalochillcody/\nhttps://codyallenjames.bandcamp.com\nBROCK MATTSSON\nSinger / Songwriter Brock Mattsson started his sound in Barrie, ON and now resides in the mouth of the St. Lawrence on Prince Edward Island. “Mattsson is somewhat of a new and quite mysterious artist in the country world” says Flex Music Blog. But growing up and looking up to his Grandfather Larry Mattsson, a Canadian Country Music Star, Brock is no stranger to country music. With only two singles out currently, ‘Rather Be With You’ and ‘Are You Thinking of Me’. Brock takes listeners back to the 60’s, where artists like George Jones, Porter Wagoner and Merle Haggard all sang about life, in all its love and heartache. In the past Brock has performed over Southern and Northern Ontario as a solo artist and band, hoping to bring his love of country music to all those whose love for it still flourishes.\nhttps://www.instagram.com/brockmattsson/\nhttps://brockmattsson.bandcamp.com/\n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_z7cjocc8Y\n \n\n \n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Jerry Leger
DESCRIPTION:Part of the 6th Annual\nWOLFE ISLAND GARDEN PARTY\na celebration of Culture and Agriculture\nJune 8 – 18, 2023\nJerry Leger follows up his critically acclaimed studio album Time Out For Tomorrow with Nothing Pressing, produced by Michael Timmins of Cowboy Junkies and released on their label, Latent Recordings. Over the course of the eleven songs on Nothing Pressing, the songwriter’s songwriter engages with questions of existence, mortality, hope, trust and heartbreak while simultaneously conjuring feelings of isolation, reflection, longing and gratitude. Paired with such evocative lyrics are wonderfully crafted melodies, soulful vocals and the spirit and energy of a mature songwriter, comfortable in his skin and growing as an artist with every release. As fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith puts it, “Jerry Leger has that spark in him that all the great songwriters have. He’s the real deal.”\nhttps://jerryleger.com/home/\n \n\n \n\nBorn in the mid-80s, singer-songwriter Jerry Leger came of age in the Upper Beaches area of Toronto. Surrounded by music from a young age, his grandfather first turned him onto Hank Williams, constantly playing the youngster a plethora of the honky tonk master’s great recordings. Although Williams’ voice came from another world in terms of time, geography, and class, Leger was intrigued by the ways that Williams’ songs told a story and often conjured up mysterious images in his head. Other seminal influences were slowly added including John Lennon (and the Beatles), Bob Dylan, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Leonard Cohen, Elvis Costello, Neil Young, the Everly Brothers, Tom Waits, and Gordon Lightfoot.\nIn 2005 as Leger turned nineteen he cut his first independently released album. In the sixteen years since then the multi-talented singer-songwriter has recorded nine additional studio albums as well as one live compilation under his own name. In 2014 he was signed to the Cowboy Junkies’ label, Latent Recordings, releasing the critically acclaimed Early Riser that same year. His second Latent release, Nonsense and Heartache, followed in 2017. A year later the two-album set was picked up by Proper Records for distribution in the U.K and Europe, leading to extensive touring throughout the continent, in the process opening up a whole new audience for Leger’s finely crafted songs. With his next Latent album, 2019’s Time Out for Tomorrow, Leger began to receive positive notices in such high-profile music magazines as Uncut and Rolling Stone.\nA restless hungry spirit, when not performing and recording under his own name, Leger stays busy with a plethora of side projects including The Del Fi’s (loose improvisatory rock and roll) and the Bop Fi’s (Leger reciting his poetry over jazz accompaniment). He has also been known to work under the pseudonym Hank Holly (bonus points go to those who can figure out where that name came from!). Making the most of his time while off the road due to the pandemic, in 2020 Leger published his first book of poetry Just the Night Birds, made a film for his mailing list subscribers, The Apartment Show He Never Gave, while releasing what he terms a “surprise” album, Songs from the Apartment. In between all that activity, Leger also cut a handful of one-off singles. One of those tracks, “Halfway ‘Till Gone” recorded with former Moby Grape member Don Stevenson, turned the Replacements’ Tommy Stinson into a fan!\nSongs from the Apartment was a stripped-down lo-fi affair recorded in Leger’s home using a cheap tape recorder with an internal microphone. Two songs from the current album, “Underground Blues” and “Sinking In,” were also recorded in Leger’s home, this time using two SM58 microphones fed into his vintage 1981 Tascam 4-track tape recorder. The remaining nine tracks included on Nothing Pressing present Leger’s work in two starkly contrasting soundscapes. “Nothing Pressing,” “Protector,” and “Still Patience,” are solo acoustic recordings cut live in the studio with little embellishment save Dan Mock’s overdubbed harmony vocals and, on the title track, producer Michael Timmins’ ukulele. The other six tracks are prime roots rock and roll featuring his long-time band The Situation (drummer Kyle Sullivan and bass player Dan Mock). Among the latter songs, “Kill It With Kindness” and “Have You Ever Been Happy?” have the kind of drive, energy and spirit that are sure to make them highlights of his future live shows.\nLeger often times finds himself at a loss as to explain the source of his songs. He feels his songwriting, while clearly drawing on experiences filtered through a panoply of influences, often verges on being a supernatural experience. Over the course of the eleven songs on Nothing Pressing, the songwriter’s songwriter engages with questions of existence, mortality, hope, trust and heartbreak while simultaneously conjuring feelings of isolation, reflection, longing and gratitude.\nPaired with such evocative lyrics are wonderfully crafted melodies, soulful vocals and the spirit and energy of a mature songwriter, comfortable in his skin and growing as an artist with every release. Nothing Pressing serves a wonderfully refreshing tonic in troubling times.\n \n“From the top drawer.” — UNCUT\n“Toronto-based Americana singer-songwriter Jerry Leger has a strong following in Europe… His new album (Nothing Pressing) is representative of his strengths: These are the worn-in songs and poetic melancholia of a welcome stranger, with a laconic style that lives somewhere between Blue Rodeo and Lucinda Williams.” — Brad Wheeler, GLOBE & MAIL\n“Great songs, great voice.” — TOMMY STINSON (The Replacements)\n“Take the time to listen to Jerry Leger!” — DOUG PAISLEY\n \n

SUMMARY:Princess Towers / Funeral Lakes / Piner
DESCRIPTION:$15 / PWYC\n\nPrincess Towers\nPrincess Towers take their name from a 1970s apartment building widely derided as Kingston’s biggest eyesore. Like their namesake, they aim to make audacious design choices and embrace the awkwardness of things in music. Their 2022 debut “Remastered in Stereo” centers on a humble cast of mundane thoughts and feelings, and presents a scale model of their playful approach to folk and country stylings. Following a release tour in fall 2022 and a soundtrack collaboration with Montreal’s Elkabong Theatre in January, construction continues in 2023 with “Freak Fairy Tales,” a new collection of songs about fantastic ordinary things. This summer, bandleader Arden Rogalsky is joined by the towering talents of Claya Way Brackenbury, Michael Broadhead, Liam Cole, and Grace Dixon.\nhttps://princesstowers.net/\nFuneral Lakes\nFuneral Lakes began in the spring of 2018, self-producing music in their apartment. After a well-received debut album and a series of EPs, Funeral Lakes has expanded their blend of shoegaze and folk, finding regular rotation on campus and community radio across Canada.\nhttps://funerallakes.wordpress.com/\nPiner\nPiner is a singer-songwriter based in Kingston, Ontario, and Antigonish, Nova Scotia. At heart, she is an old soul. Piner grew up in a community rife with musicians who modeled the idea of putting thoughts to song and singing to anyone who cared to listen. One of Piner’s inspirations is her childhood neighbourhood. Growing up in the environs of Skeleton Park in Kingston, Ontario, Piner experienced the wealth that comes from community, while witnessing the reality of struggle.\nPiner writes songs of empathy and understanding while stepping into the stories of others. Piner hopes that her songs will allow listeners to connect with the complexities of the greater human experience.\nhttps://linktr.ee/pinermusic9\n \n \n\n \n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Emma Cook
DESCRIPTION:Folk-pop artist Emma Cook has a glacially pure voice and years of life experiences to write about. At the heart of it all she is a storyteller, with music that plays between the lines of folk and chamber pop influenced from her youth – listening to mixtapes that included Ani Difranco, Tracy Chapman and Madonna. Emma is set to release her 5th album Fight Left In Me on November 4th, 2021. Produced by Andrew Rasmussen (touring keyboardist for the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen, Wake Owl, Twin Bandit, Hannah Georgas, Hey Ocean) the album takes a deep dive into the nooks & crannies, and under the radar experiences of (mostly) women who are in the time of their life when their own personal identity is often tangled up with those around them. With Emma’s trademark vocal and harmony layering and gorgeously textured production, the album is her most extrospective so far, bringing the stories of those around her to life with an aching honesty.\nEmma has logged over 100 shows across Canada, the US and the UK and had official showcases at NXNE, CMW & Indie Week and was chosen for the Export Development Program at last years Ontario Folk Alliance Conference. Her first four albums have garnered fantastic reviews and widespread radio play on CBC, Campus and Satellite radio.\nhttps://emmacookmusic.com\n\n\n\n \nFight Left In Me by Emma Cook ( https://emmacookmusic.bandcamp.com/album/fight-left-in-me )\n

SUMMARY:DJ Dioscuri / DJ LK / DJ Haircut
DESCRIPTION:3 of Kingston’s finest hometown DJs come together to play you the best of their record collections. You never know what you might hear and we’d love it if a dance party erupted as we usher in the warmer weather.\nDJ LK has been playing sets in Kingston since she was a teenage. She loves to spin disco, post punk, psych, soul and more! You can often hear her in Toronto and Montreal but home town gigs are harder to come by. Don’t miss this one!\nDJ Haircut is one of our all time favourite DJs. You might know him as the frontman of P. S. I Love You or from that time that Spin magazine named him one of the 100 best guitar players of all time (true story). Paul Saulnier’s collection of rarities and classic breaks is a delight to take in on any dance floor.\nDJ Dioscuri is where is all started.

SUMMARY:Patrick Dilkie
DESCRIPTION:On the verge of the 10-year anniversary of the release of his sole solo album, long-time Toronto-based sideman and jazz pianist Patrick Dilkie (Emma Worley, Do Tell, The Bettys) is returning to performing his music in anticipation of a coming (as-yet unnamed) recording project. Patrick practices song writing as a therapeutic technique to process grief, love and memory with compositions drawing from deep emotional wells of childhood joy, human connection and bereavement. Each piece of music represents a moment of understanding and growth through a gentle, patient interrogation of his experiences and values.\nPatrick creates sonic collages through the marriage of gestural, open piano playing and incisive, confessional lyrics brimming with whimsy and insight. With a melodic and harmonic sensibility informed by a love of jazz and a deep repertoire cultivated as a cruise ship piano bar performer, he pulls together disparate styles and techniques to create a unique sound which he describes as “If Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman and Patrick Watson awoke from a deep slumber on a Jovian Moon and howled with sleepy awe at an alien sunrise”\n

SUMMARY:Garrett Mason
DESCRIPTION:Part of the 6th Annual\nWOLFE ISLAND GARDEN PARTY\na celebration of Culture and Agriculture\nJune 8 – 18, 2023\n \nTICKETS: \nADVANCE: $15 + service charge + HST\nDOOR: $20\n(advance sales have ended, tickets will be available at the door)\nBLUES • SOUL • COUNTRY • PSYCHEDELIC • ROCK\nJuno and Maple Blues award winner Garrett Mason, of Nova Scotia, will be playing the Hotel on June 8th at 7pm.\nGarrett will be on a cross Canada tour May/June 2023 and we’re so excited to have him stop on Wolfe Island.\nGarrett Mason is a true bluesman at heart. He was raised in Truro, Nova Scotia by his mother Pam, and father, veteran Canadian Bluesman Dutch Mason. His quest to become a blues musician started at a very early age; being surrounded by music blues music, Garrett’s favorite tapes at 3 years old were Canned Heat and Buddy Rich. What really sealed the deal for Garrett to become a blues guitarist came after watching a video of Stevie Ray Vaughn “Live At the El Mocambo” – he was hooked.\nHis dad, Dutch Mason, stopped playing guitar before Garrett was born due to crippling arthritis in his hands. Although he was not able to teach his son to play, he has certainly been able to teach Garrett the structure of the Blues and to influence him about the resulting sound. Surrounded by his father’s peers, Garrett has had the benefit of hearing and learning from a wide variety of musical talent. The late Rick Jeffery was a great inspiration to Garrett; they would talk and play for hours together. Rick once said “Garrett is the only guitar player I know that can play Albert Collins’ style down to a T”. The combination of his father’s advice, Jeffery’s guidance and his own natural talents provide that special brew for Garrett to become the musical influence he is destined to be.\nGarrett would be the first to tell you that riding the coat tails of others won’t take you very far in this business, but striving to be truly original is the secret to longevity and lasting success. Garrett launched his debut CD I’m Just a Man at the 2004 Harvest Jazz and Blues festival in Fredericton, New Brunswick to a sold out crowd.\nThis debut CD features Garrett’s talent for strong original songs, a voice that is reminiscent of a veteran performer and his extraordinary aptitude for playing electric guitar. Garrett’s original talent was awarded in 2005 when he received a Juno for Best Blues Album. Garrett Mason is poised to be one of the brightest stars to emerge from the East Coast Blues scene in years.\nGarrett’s band released their sophomore album Love and Sound in July 2008 which was nominated for a Juno Award. The album won Blues Artist/Group Recording of the Year at the 2009 Music Nova Scotia and Industry Awards.\n\n

SUMMARY:The Mother Tongues (TO) / Jared Mattson (NYC)
DESCRIPTION:One of our favourite Toronto exports, don’t miss Mother Tongues live while on tour with Jared Mattson.\nMother Tongues (Toronto)\nActive since 2014 , Mother Tongues is a 5 piece psych rock outfit based out of Toronto. Comprised of Lukas Cheung, Konrad Karczewski, Charise Aragoza (Maylee Todd, Luna Li, Hooded Fang) , Hannah Bussiere Kim (Luna Li), and Nick Kervin (B17s, Mimico). Mother Tongues harks back to a time when music and mysticism were entwined, carrying on the canon of psychedelic music that came before them, taking things somewhere new and unexplored. A link to the past, a glimpse into the future. Everything You Wanted” is the debut release from Toronto based Mother Tongues.\nhttps://mothertongues.bandcamp.com/track/a-heart-beating ( https://mothertongues.bandcamp.com/track/a-heart-beating )\n\n \nJared Mattson (NYC)\nLike many debut solo albums from musicians in bands, Jared Mattson’s Peanut didn’t originally come from a need to break away. As a composer for the Mattson 2, Jared Mattson was working up a batch of new songs through the winter of 2019-2020, looking ahead to the next album he and brother Jonathan Mattson, the blitzkrieging drummer, would record. As the pandemic hit stateside, Jared holed up in his home studio and kept developing the new music. And during that process it became increasingly clear to them that this wasn’t shaping up to be the next Mattson 2 album. This was a Mattson 1 album.\nJared had been absorbing the guitar work on records by reggae stalwarts Aswad and Burning Spear, and also the Police’s Andy Summer and the ways he gives songs space. And Jared wanted a prominent bass sound, too, where the guitar itself sometimes settles into the passenger seat so that the bass can drive. Lyrically, the album taps into our rattled world, where anxiety, loss, violence, and regret are sometimes pierced by the promise of love. The time spent working on the album was a profoundly introspective time as he reflected on past relationships while living through and writing during the pandemic, he also never lost sight of this truth about himself: Life is great with music.\nOne of the album’s standout highlights is “Burn Down Babylon,” which is propelled by the bass’s funk-you-say groove. You don’t often encounter many pop songs with so blunt an opening line as, “I got punched in the face last night by a neo-Nazi,”—a true experience that was delivered many years ago in a bar brawl in Carlsbad, California. But to hear the music that goes along with this tale manages a vibe that is less melee and more backyard jubilee.\nWhen “Please Come Here,” with an intro that slinks along like a Cadillac on a Sunday morning drive, kicks in, it’s typical of the album’s melodic pop flourishes, but the twist here is that the vocals are in Japanese (The Mattson 2 have toured Japan 20 times and covered many Japanese pop songs on 2018’s Vaults of Eternity: Japan ). Ween’s “She Wanted to Leave” is the lone cover, but the way Jared reimagines the song makes it fits seamlessly within the album’s sonic template. The song’s inclusion was also a personal way to honor one of Jared’s best friends, who died from cancer two years ago. The two had always bonded over the song and marveled at its inherent beauty. Ultimately, Mattson’s solo debut unfolds like a string of fascinating clouds: These are not songs in a hurry; they shift around as they float by, and, most notably, they carry their unique kind of electric charge.\n \n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Octoberman / Annelise Noronha
DESCRIPTION:Octoberman\nNearly a decade after 2014’s What More What More, Marc Morrissette’s Octoberman project returns with There You Were, an album written and recorded after the sudden death of Morrissette’s mother. Touching on themes of grief, post-apocalyptic dread, isolation, nostalgia and new beginnings, There You Were is an elegiac and urgent ode to resilience in the face of loss. With lush production courtesy of Chris Stringer (Bruce Cockburn, Great Lake Swimmers, The Weather Station), Morrissette (vocals, guitar, piano) is once again backed by Marshall Bureau (drums), Tavo Diez de Bonilla (bass) and J.J. Ipsen (keyboards, guitar). Further contributions come from Stringer (synths, guitar, percussion), Rebecca Hennessey (trumpet), Kate Rogers and Annelise Noronha (background vocals).\nFeaturing a wide cast of collaborators over six albums and two EPs, Octoberman has been described as “Stephen Malkmus at his loosest” by Pitchfork, and “like a sunnier Elliott Smith or Sparklehorse” by Uncut Magazine. Their songs have garnered numerous television placements, including a prominent spot on Grey’s Anatomy. Octoberman has regularly toured North America, the UK and Europe, sharing stages with acts such as Owen Pallett, Chad VanGaalen, Sam Amidon, Mount Eerie and Julie Doiron. After long stints in Vancouver and Toronto, Morrissette continues exploring sounds and geographies out of his new home in Ottawa, Ontario.” — Morgan Charles\nWebsite: http://octoberman.ca ( http://octoberman.ca/video/ )\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4jH34yA4SMurS8YaBS1zWV ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/4jH34yA4SMurS8YaBS1zWV )\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/octoberman ( https://www.facebook.com/octoberman )\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/octobermanmusic/ ( https://www.instagram.com/octobermanmusic/ )\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/octoberman ( https://twitter.com/octoberman )\nBandcamp: https:// ( https://twitter.com/octoberman )octoberman.bandcamp.com ( http://octoberman.bandcamp.com/ )\n\n \n\n\n \nAnnelise Noronha\nAnnelise is primarily known as an engineer/producer. But for the past 20 years, she has also been a writer/composer-for-hire, and an artist in her own right. As a musician, her gig history is prolific, from large festival stages to the tiniest of venues. As an artist — performing along side Ron Sexmith, Whitehorse and The Sadies, or as a “side man” for artists Selina Martin, Justin Rutledge, The Warped 45s, Arlene Bishop, Dave McEathron, and Pamela Brennan. Recent releases include her 6th album titled In The Headlights on Zero Degrees Music (digital and vinyl 2020) , as well as single “Constellations” featuring Lisa Bozokovic in November 2020, and “Radio McLuhan” featuring the writing of Marshall McLuhan, and her 2021 Christmas album “The St. Nick of Time”.\n “..Annelise is a great talent, it just shines out of her.”  — Lonelle Selbo, Life Au Lait Magazine\n \nhttps://www.annelisenoronha.com/\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Miesha & The Spanks / Forty Seven Teeth
DESCRIPTION:\nMiesha & The Spanks\nWhere have all the riot grrrls gone? You ask – Miesha & The Spanks answer. If you’ve got a yearning for flashy yet classic hard rock, look no further – this Calgary-based duo has the guitar hero-worshiping, face melting, whisky belting sound that you’ve been seeking.\nA modern singer/guitarist and beloved fixture on the local scene, frontwoman Miesha Louie is the integral driving force behind Miesha & The Spanks. A mixed-Secwépemc artist living in Treaty 7 Territory, she’s devoted her entire career to inventing and playing instrumentally brilliant melodies that unleash her passions and her full-throated vocal tones.\nAs a result, Miesha & The Spanks have become a tighter and more muscular version of themselves with each new release. Miesha’s solos are as quintessentially rock as they come. Her anarchic, femme-powered vibes causing audiences to erupt in devil-horn-raising celebration of razor-sharp hooks delivered with fire and flare.\nPercussionist Sean Hamilton (an accomplished singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist in his own right) is her psychic counterpart, intuitively punctuating her soulful choruses with a pounding intensity simultaneously that elevates heart rates and ceiling rafters.\nBursting onto the circuit with a stamp of approval from producer and alt-rock idol Ian Blurton, Miesha’s coming out party Girls, Like Wolves, was the virtual debutante ball from Hell. Interweaving her impressive song writing skills and vocal versatility, that album & The band’s subsequent releases, 2016’s Stranger, and Girls, Girls, Girls (2018), tap into the synergy generated by Louie and her lone bandmate, percussionist Sean Hamilton. Their latter album has landed in the number one position on Earshot!’s National Loud charts in Canada, as well as topping on the Indigenous Music Countdown and winning no less than three Calgary-based music awards.\n“Filled with a sizeable dosage of feel-good vibes peppered with a dash of teenage angst, “I Can’t Wait” delivers the gritty groove our summer playlists deserve — while still managing to maintain a thread of infectious optimism.”\nWONDERLAND MAGAZINE\nhttps://mieshaandthespanks.net/\nhttps://mintrecs.com/ ( https://mintrecs.com/ )\n \n\n\n \nForty Seven Teeth\nOpening the show is Forty Seven Teeth, a gritty indie pop 3-piece from Kingston, Ontario.\nhttps://www.visitkingston.ca/the-return-of-forty-seven-teeth/\nhttps://fortyseventeeth.bandcamp.com/\n \n\n

SUMMARY:John Southworth / The Titillators
DESCRIPTION:John Southworth / The Titillators\nMay 21 at Hotel Wolfe Island, 3pm show\n$15+\nA mercurial English-Canadian singer/songwriter of great craft, elegance, and wit, John Southworth has consistently painted the corners of smart pop eccentricity since arriving on the Toronto scene in the late ’90s. With a penchant for thematic projects with a literate bent, Southworth’s shapeshifting music ranges from the quirky indie pop of releases like 2000’s Banff Springs Transylvania and 2004’s Yosemite to 2012’s lush, orchestral Easterween and the understated jazz and folk of his 2014 masterwork double-LP Niagara. A former film student who directs all of his own videos and published an obscure children’s book in Japan, Southworth has continued to explore and refine his songs on 2019’s subtle Miracle in the Night and the comprehensive 2021 project Rialto which included an album, podcast, novella, and theatrical live show.\nSouthworth’s father was Peter Shelley ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/1Rqm4lxi4IhNatGFqKSXlW ) (not the Buzzcocks ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/2DxlS3lTLFIq70S7ap5H3y )‘ Pete Shelley ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/7r2lG8Ui6vGHAgsKlE8Hd8 )), a notable English songwriter, producer, and record executive with deep ties to London’s ’70s glam scene and the A&R man responsible for King Crimson ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/7M1FPw29m5FbicYzS2xdpi )‘s success. While neither glam nor prog factored into the cultivated brand of highly crafted pop that he would develop throughout his career, Southworth nonetheless carried on in the family business as an English transplant living in Canada. By his mid-twenties, he had based himself in Toronto where he made his debut, 1996’s Mars, Pennsylvania. Originally released by the small Water Street ( https://open.spotify.com/search/label%3A%22Water%20Street%22 ) imprint, the album earned critical acclaim and was later picked up by U.S. label Bar/None ( https://open.spotify.com/search/label%3A%22Bar%2FNone%22 ), establishing Southworth as a sophisticated and literate indie pop eccentric with a vast record collection and a timeless feel. Over the next several years, he continued to tour North America and released unusual cross-genre pop albums that frequently explored places and characters both real and imagined. 1999’s Sedona, Arizona was followed a year later by Banff Springs Transylvania. The Rose Milk Appalachia EP came next in 2001, making way for 2004’s Yosemite. Each was distinctive and deeply imaginative. Employing a versatile group of players from Toronto’s improv jazz scene as his backing back, which he called the South Seas, Southworth’s music became increasingly organic with heavier jazz and folk tones on 2007’s The Pillowmaker and 2011’s Human Cry. In between those releases, his harder-edged pop and rock tendencies played out on 2009’s hooky Mama Tevatron.\nA penchant for peculiar experimental projects has remained a constant throughout Southworth’s career and he has often released small-run independent singles, EPs, and even full-length albums like 2011’s lo-fi all-acoustic Spiritual War, which was recorded live directly into an inexpensive tape recorder and released only on cassette. His next major release, 2012’s Easterween, was a darkly gothic chamber pop collaboration with cellist Andrew Downing ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/6qrT0ZU5MFkFPYYsBg02mH ), which reflected Southworth’s more theatrical tendencies. It was followed later that year by an oddball collection called Failed Jingles for Bank of America and Other U.S. Corporations which collected 20 wry snippets and actual takes on commercial jingle-writing, all generally under a minute long. His tendency for ambitious concepts came into even sharper focus two years later with the masterful double album Niagara. Like the city it portrayed, the album was split into two sides (Canadian and American) and contained some of the most sublime writing of his prolific career. It also marked the start of a relationship with U.K. label Tin Angel ( https://open.spotify.com/search/label%3A%22Tin%20Angel%22 ), which also released the more cerebral and electronic-tinged Small Town Water Tower in 2016. After publishing the eerie children’s book Daydreams for Night, Southworth returned in 2019, again reverting to his subtler, all-acoustic mode on the hushed and jazzy Miracle in the Night. Two years later, he unveiled what is possibly his most ambitious project yet. Self-described as a “mind movie,” Rialto comprised a full-length concept album with fictional characters sung by a full cast of singers (Tamara Lindeman, Felicity Williams ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/33T4AdB86GpO5KZgWkizec ), and others) backed by a string quartet, along with an accompanying novella, podcast, and theatrical stage show. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi\nhttp://johnsouthworth.bandcamp.com\nWhen you’re this, this in love by john southworth ( https://johnsouthworth.bandcamp.com/album/when-youre-this-this-in-love-2 )\n\nThe Titillators\nThe Titillators create odd, unique, sensitive, and fun music by way of whistling, synthesizers, percussion objects, and Ryan Driver’s homemade “street sweeper bristle bass,” which is a small tine of metal plucked on top of an amplified cigar box.

SUMMARY:Pearl and the Oysters (Stones Throw Records) / Good Fortune
DESCRIPTION:Stones Throw artist Pearl and the Oysters (Paris/Florida/LA) come to Hotel Wolfe Island on May 13th with local support from fellow dream pop/surf rockers Good Fortune (Kingston). You wont want to miss this one!\nPresented in cooperation with Collective Concerts / Collective Concerts East and Many Moons Events.\nPearl and the Oysters\nFrench duo featuring breezy, uplifting pop music that draws from space age pop, novelty music, and the classic sounds of their homeland.  Using a kitchen sink’s worth of instruments, calling in sympathetic musicians, and showing off a very light melodic sensibility, the band’s first two albums were breezy and delightful space age pop.The duo met in high school in Paris and bonded over a love of Burt Bacharach and the Pixies. Polack had been playing in bands for a few years already, and Davis had been plotting a future as a singer since she was a toddler. They attended Université Paris-Sorbonne and began working on a sound that was equally influenced by classic French Pop of the ’60s, space age pop of the ’50s (and its revival in the ’90s by bands like Stereolab), and the inspired simplicity of Love You-era Beach Boys. At the same time, the duo were on their way to earning Master’s degrees in musicology. While living in Paris they began recording their first album, but midway through they moved to Gainesville, Florida so Polack could attend the University of Florida to study Brazilian music at a doctoral level. They finished the record, titled Pearl & the Oysters, in Florida and released it in September of 2017. It wasn’t long before they started working on a second record, this time recording at four different home studios in more far-flung locales like Italy and France. Along the way, they overdubbed contributions from a variety of musicians including Vulfpeck guitarist Cory Wong, Carlos Valderrama of Fitness Forever, and Alex Brettin of Mild High Club. The finished album shared a similarly upbeat attitude and breezy pop feel as their debut, but added some fuller arrangements. 2018’s Canned Music was released jointly by Burger Records and Requiem for a Twister.\nThe duo’s third album, 2021’s Flowerland, is a slightly more subdued take on the bubbly pop of previous efforts with lyrics that delve more deeply into personal issues and serve as a farewell to Florida, which they left in favor of Los Angeles.\nhttps://pearlandtheoysters.bandcamp.com/ ( https://pearlandtheoysters.bandcamp.com/ )\n\n\n \nGood Fortune\nGroovy synth-forward jams from Kingston, Ontario’s own Kelsey McNulty and co.\nhttps://goodfortunemusic.bandcamp.com\nhttps://www.goodfortunemusic.com\n\n\n.\n

SUMMARY:Marlaena Moore / Tiny Horse / Bobby Dove
DESCRIPTION:Marlaena Moore\nYou’d be hard-pressed to find another artist with as brilliantly clear a trajectory as Marlaena Moore. From her earliest days of solitary bedroom recordings through the maximalist sonic explorations of her last album Pay Attention, Be Amazed, to the laser-focused sound of her newest work, charting a course through her career to date is about as tangible as it gets.\nOriginally hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, and currently based in Montreal, Moore has become one of Canada’s preeminent songwriters and performers, rightfully recognized for a commanding, yet warmly engaging stage presence in tandem with her superbly crafted and emotionally direct – even disarmingly so, at times – brand of songwriting (to wit, Consequence of Sound praised her “powerful vocal range and sturdy songs…her music did more than charm.”). She’s shared stages with acts such as Angel Olsen, US Girls, and Jennifer Castle, and Exclaim! listed Moore as an “Artist To Watch” in 2020.\nAfter gaining traction in the late ’10s with her celebrated album Gaze, Marlaena Moore joined forces with Sub Pop recording artist and cherished indie iconoclast Chad Van Gaalen and drummer/producer Chris Dadge (Alvvays, Samantha Savage Smith) to record her next album Pay Attention, Be Amazed. Where Gaze favoured a stripped-down, no-frills rock trio sound, her last offering took full advantage of a lengthy gestation period, honing the songs, demos, and arrangements with Dadge before entering Van Gaalen’s funhouse of studio, tucked away in northwest Calgary. Moore and her crew of collaborators – including Scott Munro (Preoccupations) and Ryan Bourne (Ghostkeeper) – painted a sparkling, multi-faceted, and undeniably widescreen interpretation of her songs. Sitting alongside pleasingly direct tracks such as lead single ‘I Miss You’, ‘Imposter’, and ‘Love As Is’ were more ornately configured tracks like the cello, pedal steel, and trombone infused ‘Xmas Oranges’; keyboard and synth-heavy fantasias ‘All Alone (Full of Love)’ and ‘Please Don’t Cut My Garden’; and full-band rager ‘Better Than Me’, complete with a winding, psych-leaning improvised ending.\nIf there is a theme to Moore’s latest batch of songs, it would have to be the notion of openness: in life, in music, and in one’s approach to viewing the world around them. Indeed, one of the tracks from her new album, tellingly titled ‘I Love Everything’, opens with the line “you can do anything, you can go anywhere”. But, these seemingly positive affirmations didn’t arrive in a gleam of bright light; Moore admits that “the record was written at a time where I was equally the most sad and most happy I have ever been in my life”, battling the polarizing notion that “both nothing and everything is possible”. Where these dichotomies could have resulted in stagnation, or – even worse – giving up entirely, Moore more than rose to the occasion and has crafted yet another surefooted, engaging set of pop/rock gems.\nProduced by multi-instrumentalist, producer, and recording engineer Scott Munro – who Moore refers to as “the life blood of this record”, and is one of Canada’s most consistently impressive musical forces – the new album positively glows thanks to a further delving into the world of synthesizers, drum machines, and a recent fascination with the music of ’90s icons Portishead and Björk, as well as drawing inspiration from the detail-oriented sounds of Tango In The Night-era Fleetwood Mac. Keep your eyes peeled for the new album early next year on Victory Pool Records.\nhttps://www.marlaenamoore.com/\n\n\n \nTINY HORSE\nTiny Horse is here, you won’t believe your ears. Their upbeat tunes combine style, humour, sincerity, and damn catchy melodies. Their soft rock sound references a range of musical influences from Big Thief to the Barenaked Ladies, Taylor Swift to Paul Simon.  Tiny Horse’s live performance is not to be missed delivering 70’s rockstar energy, electric tambourine solos, achievable dance moves, and songs that will refuse to leave your head. If you’re looking for something a little bit different, come join the Tiny Horse rodeo.\n\n\nBOBBY DOVE\nWalking with the tall shadows of their honky tonk heroes, the Montreal-born singer-songwriter Bobby Dove conveys a big presence and voice, with songs fresh off the heartworn highway.\nBobby Dove’s sophomore album, Hopeless Romantic (2021) includes some of the finest musicians on the Canadian Country music scene, including a duet with Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy. The record was hailed by Saving Country Music as “…Some of the most authentically-rendered and true-to-inspiration country music you can root out…”\nIn 2022, Bobby toured East to West in Canada and went on their very first European tour. In 2023, Bobby is set to produce new music and continue to troubadour at festivals and venues in North America and beyond.\nhttp://bobbydove.com ( http://bobbydove.com/ )\nhttp://bobbydove.bandcamp.com ( http://bobbydove.bandcamp.com/ )\n\n

With an off the cuff approach to writing, recording, and producing music, her debut EP Amertape 2020 delved into ideas of the constructed persona and escapism into digital realities. Her hook-padded songs are reminiscent of commercial melodies that dissolve over tiny pop instrumentals. The playful lyrics knowingly confront aspiration for oneself, all the while casually reflecting her own desires of longing for parties with friends, dream connecting at a club in the clouds, or just being excited to hug again. In 2022 she spent her time assembling seasoned Montreal musicians Jack Bielli (BBQT, Big Friends), Sarah Harris (Property, knitting), and Frank Climenhage (Lonely Parade, Private Lives) to join her as the live band. Together they are currently working on her first LP and playing shows around Canada.\nhttps://amersongs.bandcamp.com/ ( https://amersongs.bandcamp.com/ )\nAmertape 2020 by Alpen Glow ( https://amersongs.bandcamp.com/album/amertape-2020 )\n \nBoyhood (Port William Sound, ON)\nCaylie Runciman lives at the end of a long dirt road in Central Frontenac, Ontario. She has released music under the name Boyhood since 2011, when her lo-fi cassette releases earned her slots at festivals and showcases across Canada and the United States. Her songs are a signature combination of opposing elements: catchy and heartbreaking; relatable and alien.\nRunciman’s 2018 album Bad Mantras saw her surveying the fallout of a rough few years by way of sharp songcraft and bold arrangements. Gorilla vs. Bear debuted the record for streaming, hailing it as “subtly brilliant” and “raw and beautiful.” The song “Drivin” – praised as a “gentle rock ‘n’ roller” by Exclaim – was featured in the Netflix series Northern Rescue.\nBoyhood’s latest record, My Dread, was written, performed, produced and engineered by Runciman. It marks her most painstaking musical creation to date – one that mirrors her introduction to motherhood. It was mixed by Kenny Gilmore (Julia Holter, Weyes Blood) and mastered by Heather Kirby (Austra, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Le Ren). In addition to her work as Boyhood, Runciman assists in running Port William Sound, an artists’ retreat and studio space north of Kingston.\nhttps://boyhoodsongs.bandcamp.com/album/my-dread\nMy Dread by boyhood ( https://boyhoodsongs.bandcamp.com/album/my-dread )\n

DESCRIPTION:Presented in conjunction with Heather Haynes’ In Search of the Common Thread art exhibition ( https://hotelwolfeisland.com/events/heather-haynes-art-exhibition/ ), which is on display throughout the Hotel during March.\n\nIn 1996, when war broke out in eastern DR Congo, Msenwa was 15 years old and so began his journey where he witnessed merciless killings of friends, neighbours, and family. Through perseverance and determination, and after years as a refugee, Msenwa emerged as an inclusive leader who empowers individuals, and organizations to become inclusive.  Msenwa documented this journey in his book Still With Us: Msenwa’s Untold Story of War, Resilience and Hope – with the proceeds going towards supports for Orphaned children and widows in DR Congo through the Msenwa Foundation.\nMsenwa Oliver Mweneake, a registered Social Worker, is a practitioner of change management and diversity, equity, and inclusion.  He holds a master’s degree in leadership from Kenya and a Master of Social Work from the University of Waterloo. He currently works as the equity and transformation lead at Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington and also as a DEI consultant. He has over 15 years of experience as a community engagement advocate, an equity and inclusive leader. But it is his lived experience that brings texture to his work to seek change starting from within. Msenwa has practiced social work in Africa and Canada as a clinical social worker in mental health and child welfare. Msenwa is interested in how policies affect macro social work, migration, diversity, equity and inclusion.\nhttps://msenwafoundation.com/\nhttps://www.costronco.com/meet-msenwa\nhttps://www.amazon.ca/Still-Us-Msenwas-Untold-Resilience/dp/192679852X/\n

SUMMARY:Heather Haynes Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Showing collection of work including The Wall of Courage, The Common Thread, Tug of War and many more pivotal pieces.\nInspired by travels to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, renowned local artist Heather Haynes‘ work took on a whole new trajectory, and this March, Haynes’ bold, colourful, and emotionally resonant large canvases will be displayed throughout the entire hotel. \nOn March 8th, Heather will be hosting a fundraiser in celebration of International Women’s Day ( https://hotelwolfeisland.com/events/international-womens-day-event-presented-by-the-art-of-courage/ ), featuring live music and a screening of her short documentary, The Common Thread.\nDrop by the Hotel afternoons and evenings that we’re open (Wednesdays to Saturdays) and immerse yourself in these amazing works!\n \n\nAbout Heather Haynes\nHeather Haynes is an internationally known artist who has been painting professionally for 27 years.  In 2005 her work was brought into galleries across Canada, The United States and The United Kingdom.  She painted feverishly to keep up with the demand to supply these galleries for several years. In 2012 Heather opened her own gallery – Heather Haynes Gallery – in order to expand on the work she exhibits to the public.\nIn 2008 Heather took a trip to Uganda, Africa to perform humanitarian work in the effort to eradicate malaria.  Ever since she set foot on the African soil, her heart was won over by the environment and the people. She continued to travel to different countries in Africa, specifically Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo.\nShe has found herself working with local leaders that want to help bring up their communities and reduce the impoverished situations faced by so many.  Heather has inspired and influenced many North Americans to join in on the effort to help some of the world’s most vulnerable people.\nDue to Heather’s extensive travels in DR Congo and Tanzania, her artwork has been deeply influenced, featuring portraits of African women and children.  Heather had wanted to portray the people she met in her art, and so developed a mixed media technique that has been very successful.  The work is generally non political, but is more about portraying life in sometimes overwhelming odds – and coming through the other side, stronger for your efforts.\nIn 2013 Heather began an art project that shone a light on some of the worlds most vulnerable people. In 2016 she completed this 3 year journey by finishing her masterpiece, “Wall of Courage”, a depiction of 80 orphaned Congolese children.  The piece measures 40 feet wide by 12 feet high. Wall of Courage tours, and is raising awareness around the atrocities and injustices that occur to this day, in parts of the world.\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Traditional Irish Music with Steafan and Saskia
DESCRIPTION:St. Paddy’s day comes early to the Hotel Wolfe Island!\nWe’re thrilled to be hosting this amazing duo – Save the date! More details to come.\nSaskia from the UK, & Steafan from Ireland, moved to Canada in 2007 with 3 children and over 800 instruments! After 22 years of playing together, and many sessions under their belt for other people, Steafan & Saskia released their first duo album called “Moorchild”.\nBetween them, Saskia & Steafan have played with thousands of artists both live and recorded, including Uriah Heep, Loreena McKennitt, Bjork, Depeche Mode, The Band of Hope (with Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick), SinÉ, The Afro-Celt Sound System, Oliver Schroer, David Newland (in his project Northbound Passage), and most recently Sultans of String, George Crotty, Shannon Linton and MEDUSA (p.s.: MEDUSA String Quartet ( https://hotelwolfeisland.com/events/graham-nicholas-the-medusa-string-quartet/ ) will also be playing at the Hotel this month!)\nThey have been session musicians on TV shows which include Relic Hunter, Earth Final Conflict, Murdoch Mysteries, Copper, Cabinet of Curiosities (Guillermo Del Toro, Netflix) and Friends (the one with Ross’s Wedding).

SUMMARY:Music on The Island to Send Music to Turkey
DESCRIPTION:A fundraiser for musicians in earthquake-ravaged southeastern Turkey\nSaturday, March 4 starting at 7:00pm \nCatch the 6:00pm ferry from Kingston\nPlease bring cash\nDoor prize draw\n \nIn the words of our co-worker, Caitlin:\nDear Friends, \nI am sure you are all aware of the devastating earthquakes which have recently struck Turkey and neighbouring Syria. As some of you may know, my brother Morgan lives in Kayseri, Turkey, with his wife Armagan, and their children. \nIn speaking with Armagan and Morgan in recent weeks about the devastation and loss, my sadness propelled me to want to take action. I reached out to @hchrisbrown at the Hotel, asking whether I could organize a fundraiser for Turkey at the Hotel Wolfe Island — in typical Chris fashion, I got a reply about 30 seconds later; “of course!”\nArmagan has met with many people who lost their homes, along with everything they own, and who are currently residing in student dorms. She met Sefer, who is an ozan (a musical poet) was lost all of his writings and poetry, along with his two beloved saz (a Turkish instrument, akin to a guitar) beneath the rubble. He pointed out that while furniture and other belongings can be replaced, his poems are lost forever. \nArmagan was able to raise some funds to purchase him a new saz, and I have included an image of him playing his new instrument. I was inspired by Armagan and Sefer to direct the funds raised towards the purchase of new instruments for those who lost theirs in the earthquakes. Music has a wonderful capacity to heal, and I hope with the funds raised we can bring some joy back into the lives of people who have experienced so much grief and loss.\nAn exceptionally talented group of jazz musicians, “Clear Breeze” will be performing live in support of this event! For those who wish to attend, please bring cash to donate in support of the fundraising effort, and also to put into a hat for the musicians who are generously providing us with incredible entertainment for the evening.\nI am suggesting that anyone who is interested in attending should catch the 6:00 PM boat from Kingston, and The Hotel is a five minute drive from where the ferry lands on Wolfe Island. I hope to see you there!\n \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Joyful Joyful / Michael C. Duguay / New Hermitage
DESCRIPTION:Live Collaborative Ensemble Performance\nImprovisations & New Compositions\nFriday, March 10, 2023\nHotel Wolfe Island\nDoors @ 7, Music @ 8\nTickets $12 advance/$15 door\nBUY TICKETS\n \nCritically-acclaimed Kingston-based composer Michael C. Duguay, Halifax’s award-winning minimalist chamber-jazz quartet New Hermitage and Toronto/Peterborough’s Polaris Prize-nominated hymn-drone duo Joyful Joyful will be artists in residence at the Hotel Wolfe Island from March 6-10. Over the course of this residency, this 7-piece ensemble will be working on collaboratively composing material for a forthcoming recording project in Halifax in June. Produced by Duguay, this recording will incorporate the group’s broad musical interests, combining their backgrounds in jazz, classical, drone, folk, ambient, improvisational, minimalist and avant-garde music, and will feature more than thirty other musicians from the Nova Scotian creative music community. This residency and recording project has been funded by the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.\nThis project was developed out of a summer ‘22 festival performance at Sappyfest in Sackville, New Brunswick where New Hermitage and Joyful Joyful, meeting for the first time, joined Duguay for an unscripted improvisational performance oriented around his songwriter material. The performance received a standing ovation and the ensemble decided to pursue the project further, with Duguay shifting from principal songwriter to co-composer & producer.\nLocal audiences are invited to join the ensemble on Friday, March 10th for a collaborative performance of improvised music and new material composed over the course of the group’s residency featuring saxophone, cello, harp, electric guitar, piano, accordion, electronics, and voice.\n \n\nMichael C. Duguay is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and poet based in central Ontario  whose work focuses on site-specific ensemble recording, radical DIY community-building collaborative practices, and genre-fluid and multidisciplinary projects featuring a diverse and revolving cast of contributing members. Known for his profound and literary lyrical style and projects as far-ranging as traditional folk, punk, free jazz, avant-garde drone, and electronic music, his voice finds a home anywhere the work delivers him.\nJoyful Joyful are a Peterborough/Toronto-based duo of voice and electronics. From the singular voice of Cormac Culkeen an enveloping world of electro-acoustic soundscapes is woven. Their debut album was listed for the 2022 Polaris Music Prize.\nAmbient improvised chamber ensemble, New Hermitage, is based in Kjipuktuk (Halifax, Nova Scotia). In their performances, musical dimensions evolve with intentionality and are given shape by the environment as the environment is shaped by the music. Inspired by the ethos of listening practices from Jerry Granelli and Pauline Oliveros that erase sonic hierarchy, New Hermitage dismantles systems of harmony, form, and orchestration through spontaneous composition.\n \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:China Cat Riders Acoustic Show
DESCRIPTION:Kingston’s Grateful Dead tribute band, The China Cat Riders, returns to the Hotel Wolfe Island. This is booked as a matinee in the Piano Room as a special acoustic performance in order to take advantage of the Steinway grand piano. Dead Heads (Grateful Dead fans) will know that the Dead were famous for playing live acoustic sets from their early days. In 1980 they did a famous series of shows getting back to that practice and released a critically acclaimed live album of those acoustic performances called  “Reckoning” long before the famous “MTV Unplugged” series. See one performance of the Dead playing an acoustic version of “Bird Song” below. Like that set up, China Cats will use the grand piano, minimal drum set with brushes and acoustic guitars.\nWe book this show as a Saturday matinee with the hopes of encouraging families to come with kids for some great live music that is much quieter than our electric shows.\nAnother reason to come out is that on March 1st the Hotel has an amazing art opening of Heather Haynes work ( https://hotelwolfeisland.com/events/heather-haynes-in-search-of-the-common-thread-art-opening/ ) that will be up for the month. Come for the music of the Dead, and the great art!\nSee this video of the electric China Cat Riders playing “Bird Song” at the Hotel. Come to the show to hear their acoustic version!\n \n\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Graham Nicholas / The Medusa String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:With the release of his 4th full length album Black Creek (2023), Graham Nicholas has created an emotionally resonant world inhabited by troubled and love-hungry characters. Never alienated for their insecurities, his characters are instead respected by the empathetic voice of an honest songwriter. The new album finds Nicholas honing in on his concise form of storytelling and refining his irreverent sense of humour. Coupling his John Prine & Gordon Lightfoot narrative style with a backing band that hearkens back to the likes of The Band, Nicholas’ songs have found the right balance of warmth and grit. Listed by Now Magazine as one of their “2018 Toronto Musicians to Watch”, He has also shared the stage with the likes of Ron Hynes, Russell DeCarle, Catherine MacLellan, Old Man Luedecke, Del Barber and Daniel Romano.\nTouring in support of his latest album release.\nwww.grahamnicholas.ca\n\n \nBlack Creek by Graham Nicholas ( https://grahamnicholas.bandcamp.com/album/black-creek )\n \n\nMedusa\nMedusa is a chamber-folk band that blends the Western string quartet with Polish knee fiddles, Greek lira, and Swedish Nyckelharpa. We weave together Eastern European, Scandinavian, Celtic, and Middle Eastern sounds to create something entirely new.\nOne of the most misunderstood figures in mythology, Medusa has been known for her frightful ugliness, and her lithifying gaze. In fact, Medusa was wrongfully punished and cast out for being the victim of a violent act.\nThe instruments we play, in addition to violin, viola, and cello, are traditional bowed fiddles that were rejected for centuries in their home countries of Poland and Sweden, their sounds considered too ugly for polite audiences.\nOur band was formed during the pandemic, a time when the whole world was forced to stop, look within, and shed old skin. Instead of a snake-haired Gorgon, we see Medusa as a symbol of vision, power, and inclusivity, and a source of inspiration for anyone who has been denied their true self.\nMedusa is Georgia Hathaway (they/them, violin), Lea Kirstein (she/they, viola, cello), Marta Solek (she/her, Polish knee fiddles, Greek lira, cello), and Saskia Tomkins (she/her, Nyckelharpa, violin).\nhttps://www.sisterhoodofmedusa.com/\n\n \nMedusa Live EP by Medusa ( https://medusaquartet.bandcamp.com/album/medusa-live-ep )\n

SUMMARY:Metsaema / Anthony Sutton
DESCRIPTION:Metsaema (previously known as The Salty Lemon Stringband) is just about as diverse as you get when it comes to musical energy and repertoire. From Eastern European dance music and French Mazurkas to early turn of the century American Ragtime and New Orleans jazz, Metsaema will keep you dancing the night through!\nAnthony Sutton is a singer, songwriter, and arranger with the guitar accompanying himself. As a solo musician and as a member of various projects, he toured the lower 48 states co-billing shows with artists such as Molly Tuttle, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Sierra Ferrell. Adept in Pre-War Blues and Ragtime, he combines his love of folklore and ethnomusicology to create an intimate experience layering his own stylings while preserving the soul of America’s rich musical history. Born with the restlessness of the songs he sings, Sutton left his rural Indiana hometown to hitchhike and wander the country at a young age. Anthony has worked primarily as a street musician as many of his musical idols have. To overcome the noise of city sidewalks Sutton’s playing and singing is loud, crisp, and controlled. He has a song and story for every mile.\n \n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Cody Allen James & Good Co.
DESCRIPTION:Coyote Williams opens the night with The Mill Rights before Cody Allen James & Good Co. take the hotel’s stage. A night of home grown talent you wont want to miss!  $10/ PWYC. Music starts at 7pm!\nBorn and raised in rural Ontario, Cody Allen James spent the lion’s share of his early years back in the fields of his family’s farm. Raised on an equal blend of bluegrass and rock n’ roll, Cody began playing guitar in his early teens. However, his natural sense of rhythm and song structure quickly led him to become a go-to drummer for many local hardcore and punk acts.\nJames graduated from his hometown scene and left for Toronto, where he continued to hone his skills as a drummer and vocalist in numerous garage rock and hardcore acts. All the while he had been quietly amassing a catalogue of songs of an entirely different variety – simple, bare, and honest.\nThe pandemic hit bringing all other musical activities to halt, but Cody’s songwriting only accelerated. Sensing he was really onto something, he commissioned the skills of some of his favorite players he has met over the years and had them cut tracks remotely on what would become his self-produced debut. Inspired by the success of his first outing, Cody’s focus has become singular and his well of material overflowing. He has relocated to Kingston to have more time and space to invest in his craft – a decision that pays daily dividends.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_z7cjocc8Y&ab_channel=CodyAllenJames\n

Bring cash to partake in these special treats and fun festivities!\n \nAs island dwellers, we are acutely aware of the challenges/barriers accessing emergency services.\nAs Wolfe Island dwellers, we are exceptionally privileged to have the VOLUNTEER crew of approximately 30 committed, passionate humans who make up our Wolfe Island Fire and Rescue. These stellar humans respond to every call as though it was family and serve our community with professional excellence. BECAUSE WE NEED THEM TO.\n \nNEW DONATION INFO:\nWant to donate an additional amount?

Their renditions of the hard hitting classics, along with traditional sounding original material, will make you and your friends want to dance all night, drink too much, and leave you wanting more.\nFrom the rich tones of the pedal steel, to the hot licks of the Fender Telecaster, Big Tobacco & the Pickers deliver a new brand of country music, true to old school tradition. \n\nhttps://bigtobaccoandthepickers.com/about-us ( https://bigtobaccoandthepickers.com/about-us )\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Luther Wright & The Wrongs
DESCRIPTION:$15/PWYC\nLuther Wright’s ( https://wolfeislandrecords.com/lutherwright/ ) music revisits the classic country stomping-grounds, from the weepers to the two steppers, with satire, originality and frankness.\nFeaturing Luther Wright, Kelsey McNulty, James Taylor, Tara Dunphy, Casey Fisher\nLuther Wright has been writing, recording and performing music for over 20 years now. He started out in a band with his talented songwriter brother Geordie in the garage/punk, vigilante vegetarian outfit The Mugworts who honed their chops while traveling in Mexico and playing to gringos and locals alike. In 1994 he joined up with his friends Sarah and Mary Harmer to play lead guitar in the Canadian, pop-rock band, “Weeping Tile” (WEA/Atlantic).\nIt was during the next 5 years of full-on touring and recording with that band that Luther, Weeping Tile drummer Cam Giroux and his roots compadres Sean Kelly and Dan Curtis formed the now-renowned, country/punkgrass road daemons, “Luther Wright & The Wrongs”. Known on one hand for their brilliantly executed, country/bluegrass reworking of Pink Floyd’s classic The Wall, Luther and the band have also recorded and released six all-original albums, Hurtin’ For Certain (1997), Rogers Waltz (1999), the valentine gone awry, Guitar Pickin’ Martyrs (2003), Instrumentality (2005), Man of Your Dreams (2008), and Hearts and Lonely Hunters (2015). Also to boot, they made two cds of original children’s music under the guise of Butterfingers.\nFrom its release internationally in 2001, Rebuild the Wall (Universal/Backporch), opened up doors for ‘the Wrongs to play over 500 shows of old-country, inspired music across the continent. Luther’s music is used in the CTV television show, “Robson Arms”, and his song “Tumbler Ridge” is part of the soundtrack in Ron Mann’s documentary film about Woody Harrelson entitled, “Go Further”. At the request of the Goodman family Luther contributed a version of “The City Of New Orleans”, to a wonderful album that pays tribute to folk legend Steve Goodman.\nTheir latest album “Hearts and Lonely Hunters” (available here on CD & Vinyl) was produced by Hugh Christopher Brown (Bourbon Tabernacle Choir/Chris Brown & Kate Fenner). Luther Wright and Hugh Christopher Brown reignited a decades long musical relationship on tour in the Yukon and Alaska. The pair had first met touring Canada while Wright was on the road with Weeping Tile. Their orbits would cross many times between New York City and the Canadian Highways and Brown is a regular feature on Luther’s albums, including the cult classic ‘Rebuild the Wall’. ‘Hearts and Lonely Hunters’, takes Luther and the band in a slightly different direction in no small part due to the longstanding collaboration with producer Brown. Luther’s country influence is very much in full effect, this time with lush string arrangements, keys and exquisite backing vocals by Sarah Harmer. His humor and wit are here matched equally with heartfelt crooning; his punk passion shining through as always. Hearts and Lonely Hunters also features appearances by the legendary Holmes Brothers and two of New York City’s rhythm heavyweights, Tony Scherr and Anton Fier.\n \n\n\n

Still working on that! (Now tech with My Morning Jacket and Ray Lamontagne.) We played parties around the mountain and got to do some fun gigs on occasion. Opened for the Sir Douglas Revue at Slims in SF, The Drifters in San Mateo. I also corralled friends while out on the road for dark nights to play local clubs. Some great fun with folks like Rick Rosas, Sarah Harmer, Nels Cline and others kind enough to join me on their nights off.The last few years has been a combo of Rocky & Friends shows, occasionally getting to open for the likes of The Bill Kirchen Bands, Richey Furay of The Buffalo Springfield and Pegi Young & the Survivors at the Iron Horse Saloon. Some Festivals and up on the Island of Wolves with Chris and the gang. I’ve also been sitting in with the ever excitable “Treefort”.\nI’ve also had the honor of laying down a few slide tracks for many of the Wolfe Island gang. Suzanne Jarvie, David Corley, Hadley Thackston, One River, and of course, Chris Brown. So many great songs and souls! Recorded with Treefort on their latest Album “Talking To The Dogs” and Maura Kennedy’s “Sun Burns Gold” from her debut solo Album.\nI’m really just a fan who loves a great song and soulful note. I’ve been so lucky to hang out listening, watching while tuning guitars for such heroes as Patti Smith, Neil, CSN&Y, Paul Simon, Lucinda Williams, Wilco, Nils Lofgren, My Morning Jacket… even Deep Purple!… Jeez!\nBeen having a lot of fun and looking forward to more music, more love and more tracking at The Post Office scratching a few furry ears!\nhttps://wolfeislandrecords.com/rockyroberts/ ( https://wolfeislandrecords.com/rockyroberts/ )\n \n\n

SUMMARY:David Celia & Zuffalo
DESCRIPTION:David Celia is an independent singer-songwriter based in Toronto, Ontario, who has built an audience across Canada and in Europe. He has toured regularly since 2005. Beginning in 1989, Celia was a member of Tarnished Gallahad featuring Matei Kajs, Richard Hamelin, Chris Mavridis and Celia.\nhttps://www.davidcelia.com/ ( https://www.davidcelia.com/ )\nZuffalo’s music is groove-driven, uplifting psychedelic rock with folk- and pop-based melodies and harmonies. With funky beats and monstrous riffs that can enter realms of blues and hard rock, their songs consist of instrumental sections where the musicians communicate with each other to create unique stories in sound. Soaked in rich harmonies, the lyrics are about love but are also laced with quirky metaphors, and often touch on subjects of science fiction and nature. Since the musicians are always reacting to the vibe in the room, this makes the Zuffalonian audience essential, and Zuffalo always aims to keep their audience groovin’.\nhttps://zuffalo.ca/ ( https://zuffalo.ca/ )\n \n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Stephen Stanley & Graven
DESCRIPTION:Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist Stephen Stanley is best known from his many years as a founding member, lead guitarist and vocalist with alternative rock band The Lowest of the Low. After years of touring and sharing the stage with the likes of Billy Bragg, The Violent Femmes, The Jayhawks and Lloyd Cole, a gold record for their “genuinely timeless album” (Exclaim!) Shakespeare My Butt, Stanley now leads his own band, The Stephen Stanley Band and has logged other monumental shows with 54•40, Bob Mould, Cracker, Jake Clemons and Willie Nile. The band also played at the 2018 Static Roots Festival in Germany and then went on to tour the UK and Ireland.\nAmericana UK described the band’s 2018 album Jimmy & The Moon and Stephen’s artistry this way: “The songs are big and bold, unafraid, unashamed to flaunt their heritage… Stanley’s voice being not a thing of beauty but a workman’s tool skillfully used to create just the right effect…” Stephen will be joined by his bandmate and accomplished Toronto-based guitarist, Chris Bennett. Chris released his first solo record, Disenchanted World, in 2021 to critical acclaim. The Stephen Stanley Band is currently mixing the follow-up record to Jimmy & the Moon.\nGraven opens the show! We’re thrilled to have them back. With 15 major releases under his belt and his latest album mixed by Joel Plaskett, Matty McKechnie (Graven) has a perpetual passion for creating and sharing music. Matty is continually keeping busy throughout the pandemic with uplifting words and songs of support for his dedicated fan-base, which he has dubbed “Graventown” — a highly accepting and inclusive community which has become a safe-haven for anyone and everyone who wants to be their real-self without judgement.\n \n\n \n\n \n

We’re inviting you to bring your ideas to the table on the evening of November 9 at the Hotel Wolfe Island.\nWHY WE WANT YOU THERE\nThis past summer, The Island Talks, which launched with six local author readings, had amazing turnouts on the Hotel patio and great conversations followed. To keep the magic of community conversation going, we’re planning a new series of winter Talks to explore the future of our island. We’ll be hosting one Talk a month from January to April. That’s where you come in.\nIf you have a juicy topic you think your fellow Islanders would like to explore, stand up and pitch it! If you prefer, put it in writing and we’ll present it for you.\nThen, help us decide (by polite show of hands, loud whistling or foot stomping) which ideas we should explore for The Island Talks. If the community gets behind our ideas, who knows what we can make happen! The Island Talks is affiliated with the Wolfe Island Commons, a not-for-profit org that can apply for and receive grants for our community.\nSOME QUESTIONS TO GET YOU THINKING\n\nHow can we increase our capacity to care for each other and our island?\nHow can Islanders have more fun without having to catch the ferry to Kingston?\nHow can we improve our capacity for self-reliance through local jobs, healthcare, food, housing and culture?\nHow can we strengthen protection of our precious natural environment, reduce our carbon footprint, and increase island biodiversity?\n\nWE CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR YOUR IDEAS. SEE YOU THERE!\nDate: Wednesday, November 9 @ 7pm\nPlace: Piano Bar, Hotel Wolfe Island\nFeel free to order drink and food from the hotel dining room and bring it into the Piano Room to enjoy!\nCan’t make it in person?

SUMMARY:Qairo
DESCRIPTION:Qairo is a fiery and dynamic ensemble that combines the emotional charged vocals and pulsing rhythms of flamenco with the infectious melodies and ear-popping tonalities of the Mediterranean diaspora. From Spain to Turkey to India (with stops along the way), Qairo is music for dancing — no matter where you’re from. It’s Turkish micro-tones played on an Indian bansuri flute, original flamenco verses “sung” by a clarinet, Balkan rhythms punctuated by Andalucian guitar, and flamenco footwork pounded out like improvised jazz. Qairo is guitar, oud, clarinet, saxophone, drums, electric bass, cante (flamenco song) and baile (flamenco dance) acting like they belong on stage together — and pulling it off.\nADMISSION: PWYC — suggested contribution of $20\nRIDESHARE UPDATE!\n Who needs a ride, or can offer a ride, from the ferry to the Hotel for the Qairo show on Saturday night? 💃🏻 We’re trying to coordinate trips via Facebook (this link) and Instagram (this link) — Comment there, letting us know # of people, and what time(s).

SUMMARY:POSTPONED – The Burning Hell with Lederhosen Lucil and Jake Nicoll
DESCRIPTION: \n \nPOSTPONED!!\nDue to unforeseen circumstances the bands sadly need to postpone this show. We will reschedule and give an update on our social media as soon as we know more. Thanks for your understanding.\n \n—\n$20 at the door\nThe Burning Hell’s new album Garbage Island is a danceable romp through a fractured landscape of apocalypses near and far, celebrations of failure and escape, a dense medley of pop culture references, and plenty of birdlife.\nLederhosen Lucil will be celebrating 20 years of Hosemusik with a rare live appearance, and the Burning Hell’s producer and multi-instrumentalist Jake Nicoll will open the show with a set of acoustic songs from his new album Pool House.\n“…funny, sardonic, and literate. It’s impossible not to be swayed by these acerbically funny story songs.” – MOJO MAGAZINE \nThe Burning Hell is the ongoing musical project of songwriter Mathias Kom and multi-instrumentalists Ariel Sharratt and Jake Nicoll, often including additional comrades and collaborators. Their densely populated genre-shifting songs are packed with an abundance of literary, historical, cultural, and pop-cultural forebears, heroes and villains, subjects and objects, stories and hooks. They move with heavy rhyme and a light step, incorporating a frequent fixation on apocalypse and ruin into work that celebrates participation in a mutually created, ever surprising, delightful, and even occasionally beautiful world. Which is to say they’re good dance partners and they want to dance with you.\nThe Burning Hell are DIY in the best possible sense—underlining the “Do”—their albums and singles manifesting from the edges of the music industry as collaborations with independent labels and publishers, and their years of touring forming connections person by person, show by show, in town after town. They’ve famously ventured to every out-of-the-way island and inland neglected by the less adventurous, emphasizing presence and connection across latitudes, longitudes, and time, affirming a commitment to the political power of sharing music. It is a profoundly optimistic gesture delivered by way of killer tunes, exuberant hooks, and joyful live performances.\nhttps://www.theburninghell.com/\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Princess Towers / Analogues of May / Hsein
DESCRIPTION:* Princess Towers (Kingston) *\nBased in Kingston Ontario/Katarokwi, Princess Towers write heartfelt odes to small worlds and minor gods. Dabbling in folk, country, and other eclectic experiments, Arden Rogalsky’s small-thinking, big-feeling songs are assembled by the towering talents of Liam Cole, Michael Broadhead, and Dylan Lodge. Princess Towers released a new collection of songs, Remastered in Stereo, in May 2022.\nhttps://princesstowers.net/ ( https://princesstowers.net/?fbclid=IwAR1Wb9uJ6Y3mdy1AevwOAgd9lWVsXqC4QU66gmAXvDquMauOfAqpjW8c3G0 )\n* Analogues Of May (Toronto) *\nAnalogues Of May (Sara Jarvie-Clark) is a first study into Sara’s expression as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. Drifting between the spirit of folk, chamber pop & psychedelic rock, her education in classical violin and her training as a theatre artist has heavily influenced her songwriting and composition intrigues over the years. Produced by Hugh Christopher Brown, she visions this first self-titled record – to be released via Wolfe Island Records on September 1st 2022- as a sonic play of meditations and odysseys; impressions on love, grief, knowledge and time.\nhttps://wolfeislandrecords.com/analoguesofmay/ ( https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwolfeislandrecords.com%2Fanaloguesofmay%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR08GaYKnrRVgIbm0BfOL4wRGS_Ua-CBi2Iinc6z1BmHn7v5Ix5z_PdrR80&h=AT2_kNkrmTiYGH20xZjK3amjlQF5ceIz3mwnbTp-mxeE-ZJIqL_eVMFV1oFdQAj5p_GMwjgwfVA0xzZEA2NA-8Bc2f-WzizqgyYIW-7SX1AZeSs4X3ScxR6ffNIPbXCny22beexZYOgjJm1Le3JcB4E&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT3zV61vHBEpvP1KHyL1M9O1aiTpgpPtn-0PUH4Xw2guuukeQ5QWWjp1lfiMxkeRMgiqFAotS1HWxZOWa4Da2EAwKg7pB2wb-UAw4vyA2f-0gvsXAc0n1chsxqcN2TNssKc )\n* Hsien (Montreal) *\nHsien (仙), formerly known as Old Haunt, makes sparse and meditative music that draws from drone, traditional pop, singer-songwriter, and hymnody.\nhttps://hsien.info ( https://hsien.info/?fbclid=IwAR1bXY2oDlScgnPabeO97QYifBTovX_VEGq6yNe3cgWlM-R17L2kk5CWPqU )\nFriday Nov. 18\n7:30 PM\n$15 / PWYC\n

SUMMARY:Silver Pools / Funeral Lakes / Dustin Good
DESCRIPTION:First band goes on at 7pm\n$15 or PWYC\nSILVER POOLS is a post-punk duo from Toronto, Canada. The group combines the talents of video director Adrienne McLaren ( https://www.adriennemclaren.com/ ) and music producer / composer Todd Macdonald ( https://www.toddmacdonaldsound.com/ ) (The Winks, Norvaiza). Silver Pools released their sophomore album Chroma, via new imprint Modern Laundry Recording Club ( https://modernlaundryrecordingclub.bandcamp.com/ ). Chroma is Silver Pools’ first full-length since their 2016 debut, Memoirs Of An Oblong Sphere.\n“A low‐key but uplifting symphony of magical beats, electronic signals, subtle trip‐hop tones and elastic sonic layers that expand and contract underwater. Chill‐out vocals coming from an ocean cave, a simple but addictive bassline, and the delicate mandolin complete its distinctive, avant‐garde sonic‐scape.” — Discorder Magazine (Memoirs of an Oblong Sphere)\nhttp://silverpoolsmusic.com/ ( http://silverpoolsmusic.com/ )\nChroma by Silver Pools ( https://silverpools.bandcamp.com/album/chroma )\nFUNERAL LAKES is Chris Hemer (he/him) and Sam Mishos (she/her). They are currently based out of Kingston, Ontario. Their most recent EP, Redeemer, was self-recorded at the duo’s home in Kingston during the winter months of 2021.\nRedeemer is a collection of songs that does not neatly fit into a single genre. It explores the meanings of faith and justice, interrogating the tension between them. Grappling with memory and legacy, it is a reflection on choosing what to hold onto and what to let go of. Redeemer asks the questions: Who gets to grant forgiveness? And what does it mean to be irredeemable?\nhttps://funerallakes.wordpress.com/\n\n \nDUSTIN GOOD  Multi-instrumentalist and producer Dustin Good will be sharing explorations and improvisations in an electronic playground, with ambiences and spontaneous melodies emerging from synthesizers, looping, and processing. Dustin also grew up in Kingston and played his first ever show many moons ago in our very hotel. We’re so glad to have him on this bill! Check his stuff out here:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://soundcloud.com/dustingood/dustin-good-live-burdock-may-2018?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing ( https://soundcloud.com/dustingood/dustin-good-live-burdock-may-2018?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing )\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Michael C. Duguay / Joey O’Neil / The Ropes
DESCRIPTION:Local favourite Michael C. Duguay plays the hotel with special guests!\n“Every song tells a story, but not every songwriter can tell a story the way Duguay can.”\n–Dominionated\nMichael Cloud Duguay (he/him/they/them) is a writer, musician, producer, improviser, and community organizer based out of Kingston/Wolfe Island, Ontario. First gaining recognition as a versatile and uniquely charismatic multi-instrumental supporting player in the early 2000’s, Michael has contributed to dozens of critically acclaimed Canadian indie, folk, jazz, and experimental recording and performance projects. A fervent collaborator and community builder, Michael’s genre-fluid and multidisciplinary projects feature a diverse and revolving cast of contributing members from across North America, and he has been a regular collaborator of other Canadian projects including recent Polaris nominees Joyful Joyful, The Burning Hell, Sing Leaf, Weird Lines, Steven Lambke, David Parker, and award-winning Nova Scotian improvisational chamber ensemble New Hermitage.\nAfter surviving nearly  a decade of homelessness and drug addiction, Michael recommenced his artistic practice in 2018, self-producing and releasing his widely praised sophomore album, The Winter of our Discotheque, which chronicled his years of tumult and established him as one of Canadian music’s most distinct, enigmatic, and honest emerging voices. Known for his profound and literary lyrical style, Michael is a poet and pop songsmith at his core, but with projects as far-ranging as traditional folk, avant-garde drone, and improvised and electronic music, Michael is as comfortable on folk festival stages as he is in DIY punk and experimental music spaces. His work has been recognized The Canada Council For The Arts, Ontario Arts Council, the Yukon Sound Commission, The Icelandic Art Centre, and the City of Kingston who awarded Michael their first ever municipal artist residency. His third full-length album, Saint Maybe, recorded in the subarctic Yukon, will be released in Spring, 2023, and his current touring band is comprised of Canadian indie luminaries Liam Cole, Yolande Laroche, Julien Dussault, and Greggory Clark.\n\n \nJOEY O’NEIL has honed her nostalgic folk sound over a decade of Klondike winters.\nBewitching audiences with emotive anecdotes from her woodland life and long-haul highway schleps, her critically acclaimed sophomore album Ever Ahead was brought forth in 2020. Produced by pedal-steel wizard Aaron Goldstein, it’s an undeniable road-trip record that Exclaim! deems is made up of “postcard-like, twanged-out folk tracks”, Canadian Beats dubs “an audiobook narrated behind bluesy, western melodies”, and CBC Arts declares “is rife with playful poetry and sees O’Neil casually bounce between tongue-in-cheek lyrics and a true sense of heartbreak.” Inspired by countless cross-country journeys with her trusty canine copilot named Oblio, her lyrics present a fresh, queer perspective to some classic country tropes. Thanks to vulnerable vocals, canorous string plucking, weepy steel solos, and a sincere emphasis on storytelling, this ode to the road reminds us to keep on truckin’, as the next adventure is ever ahead.\n\n \nThe Ropes\nThe Ropes is the eponymously titled album from Hugh Christopher Brown ( https://wolfeislandrecords.com/hughchristopherbrown/ ), Jason Mercer, and Pete Bowers, grounded in the trio’s love of folk and soul artists of the early 70’s.\n\n

SUMMARY:The Co-Conspirators
DESCRIPTION:The Co-Conspirators is a Hemmingford, QC based duo playing folk/singer-songwriter music with elements of country, rock, blues, gospel, bluegrass, spiritual, and general roots music. With heavy emphasis on vocal harmonies, this duo had been compared to Ian and Sylvia Tyson and Richard and Linda Thompson. They perform mostly original music along with some traditional and contemporary covers.\nFounded in 2012 by singer/songwriter/guitarist Will Richards, The Co-Conspirators really took off when Richards met Katherine Simons and they began performing together. Simons comes from a very musical family and is a classically trained french horn player and percussionist. Her pure, angelic voice stands in contrast to the more raw style of Richards’.\nMostly performing as a duo, they do occasionally add various instruments available to them such as bass, drums, percussion, flute, clarinet, lead guitar, violin, cello, harmonica, banjo, auto harp, and vibraphone.\nAt the end of April 2019, they released their first full length recording: Shadowing the Organ Tuner (with full band accompaniment), and have been touring across Canada ever since; performing 100s of shows in all provinces.\nThe Co-Conspirators toured almost non-stop until March of 2020 but have since – like all musicians – been on a greatly reduced schedule.\nOn January 5th 2022 they released their second full length album, The Unreliable Narrators.\nCatch them at the hotel on their latest tour!\nthecoconspirators.band@gmail.com\nhttp://theco-conspirators.com/ ( http://theco-conspirators.com/ )\nhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0By7Ss6rMPiNNnH4xz09VG\nhttps://www.facebook.com/TheCoConspirators\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOFSIliVmSuDEhbM8fuLg5Q\n\n

SUMMARY:The Besnard Lakes / Emilie Steele and the Deal
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS: $15 Advance (see below) / $20 Door\nDOORS: 7pm\nSHOW: 7:30pm\nTHE BESNARD LAKES\nThe Besnard Lakes have passed through death and they’re here to tell the tale. Nearly five years after their last lightning-tinted volley, the magisterial Montreal psych-rockband have sworn off compromise, split with their longstanding label, and completed a searing, 72-minute suite about the darkness of dying and the light on the other side.\nThe Besnard Lakes Are The Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings is the group’s sixth album and the first in more than 15 years to be released away from a certain midwestern American indie record company. After 2016’s A Coliseum Complex Museum – which saw Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas attempting shorter, less sprawling songs – the Besnards and their label decided it was time to go their separate ways; with that decision came a question of whether to even continue the project at all. What use is a band with an instinct for long, tectonic tunes – rock songs with chthonic heft and ethereal grace, five or 10 or 18 minutes long? How do you sell that in an age of bite-sized streaming? How do you make it relevant?\n“Who gives a shit!” the Besnard Lakes realized. Ignited by their love for each other, for playing music together, the sextet found themselves unspooling the most uncompromising recording of their career. Despite all its grandeur, …The Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings honours the very essence of punk rock: the notion that a band need only be relevant to itself. At last the Besnard Lakes have crafted a continuous long-form suite: nine tracks that could be listened together as one, like Spiritualized’s Lazer Guided Melodies or even Dark Side of the Moon, overflowing with melody and harmony, drone and dazzle, the group’s own unique weather.\nHere now, the Besnard Lakes finally dispensed with the two/three-year album cycle, taking all the time they needed to conceive, compose, record and mix their opus. Some of its songs were old, resurrected from demos cast aside years ago. Others were literally woodshedded in the cabanon behind Lasek and Goreas’s “Rigaud Ranch” – invented and reinvented, relishing this rougher sound. Some of that distortion makes its way into the final mix: an incandescent crackle that had receded from the Besnards’ more recent output.\nRightly – nay, definitively! – The Besnard Lakes Are The Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings is a double LP. “Near Death” is the title of the first side. “Death,” “After Death,” and “Life” follow next. It’s literally a journey into (and back from) the brink: the story of the Besnard Lakes’ own odyssey but also a remembrance of others’, especially the death of Lasek’s father in 2019. Being on your deathbed is perhaps the most psychedelic trip you can go on: in Lasek’s father’s case, he surfaced from a morphine dream to talk about “a window” on his blanket, with “a carpenter inside, making intricate objects.” That experience pervades the album, catching fire on the song “Christmas Can Wait”; elsewhere the band pays tribute to the late Mark Hollis and, on “The Father of Time Wakes Up,” they mourn the death of Prince.\nIn these scorched and pitted times, as the world smoulders, there might be nothing less trendy than an hour-long psychrock epic by a band of Canadian grandmasters. Then again, there might be nothing we need more. …The Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings is a bright-blazing requiem: nine tunes that are one tune and six musicians who make one band – unleashed and unconstrained, piercing and technicolour. At the end of the golden day, the Besnard Lakes are right where they should be.\nhttps://www.thebesnardlakes.com/\n\n \nEMILIE STEELE AND THE DEAL\n\nEmilie Steele & The Deal are a grab bag of catchy hooks and lush tones delivered with buoyant energy and original style.  Since this sonic trio formed in 2017 they have been dishing out unabashed indie rock tunes and winning the hearts of their listeners. Steele’s animated delivery, vocal melodies and clever turns of phrase soar alongside the weaving riffs and driving rhythms of powerhouse band mates Jack Lockridge and Jon Irwin. They have shared the stage with Julie & The Wrong Guys, Fast Romantics, and Donovan Woods and The Sadies. Their eponymous six-song EP is out now!\nhttps://www.emiliesteelethedeal.com/\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Scott Hardware / Heaven For Real / L.A. Foster
DESCRIPTION:Scott Hardware / Heaven For Real / L.A. Foster – all together in one night for the triple bill of your dreams! $15 at the door. 8pm show.\nOn Ballad of a Tryhard, the third album by Scott Hardware, the moniker of Toronto-based musician and composer Scott Harwood, he attempts a response by honouring the splendor of “living between emotions.” It’s an album where a rich inner monologue, and the undefined space between reflection and realization can offer an invaluable reprieve. \nOver luminous keys and sky-sweeping melodies, Harwood reverse engineers his capabilities as a composer skilled in the art of complexity to deliver his boldest album to date — unselfconsciously ambitious Y2K rock; a reimagination of experimental adult contemporary that tweaks the limits of soft rock with curiosity and appreciation. \n—\nHeaven The Toronto by way of Halifax, Nova Scotia project is formed around the nucleus of twins Mark and J. Scott Grundy (also of Quaker Parents). Since 2012, the back-and-forth between Mark’s evocative lyric-driven songwriting and Scott’s musically expressive instincts has breathed a precious life into Heaven For Real. Rounding out the live line up with talented friends and collaborators Laura Jeffery (Fountain) and Cher Hann, H4R’s sound is most simply described as art rock, but more accurately described as post-punk unravelled with one tug of a thread to reveal an internal pool of psych, jazz, ambient, electronica and Britpop. \n—\nL.A. Foster has been taking cues from the Montreal scene and her time living in Buenos Aires. Her “sad dance music” is percussively influenced by the South with the attitude of the Montreal nightlife. Currently based in Kingston.\n \n

SUMMARY:Esmerine
DESCRIPTION:2023 Juno Award winners for “Instrumental Album of the Year”\nA night of music you won’t want to miss!\nTICKETS: $25 door / advance (available below) ( #tickets )\nEsmerine was co-founded by percussionist Bruce Cawdron (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) and cellist Rebecca Foon (Thee Silver Mt. Zion, Saltland) in 2001 and has released six acclaimed albums of expressive instrumental chamber music—with one foot in contemporary classical and late 20th century Minimalism, the other in more visceral and lyrical sonic territory informed by post-rock, punk, folk and global. \nThe Canadian quintet shares stylistic affinities with the likes of Dirty Three, Sō Percussion, Winged Victory For The Sullen, Grails and Rachel’s, and has been nominated for several Juno awards, winning Instrumental Album of the Year for Dalmak in 2014 and Recording Package of the Year for Lost Voices in 2016, and winner of “Instrumental Album of the Year” / “Album Artwork of the Year”  for Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More at the 2023 Juno Awards.\nFoon is also an environmental activist and organizer, co-founding Pathway To Paris and JungleKeepers, and is a partner in Sustainability Solutions Group and a co-owner of Modo Yoga studios in Montréal and New York. Cawdron was the drummer in Godspeed You! Black Emperor from the band’s inception in 1995 until his retirement from the group in 2012 to focus on his work as an acupuncturist, and on Esmerine alongside other creative projects. \n“Mechanics of Dominion is a bold, gripping and brilliantly nuanced addition to Esmerine’s gorgeous catalogue, swelling with hope and brimming with energy.”\n– Exclaim 9/10\n“Esmerine explores ever more intricate constructs; their classical/folk/post-rock melds reward after repeat immersions.”\n— MOJO  * * * *\n“Esmerine is a luminary of the post-rock world.”\n— A CLOSER LISTEN\n“Esmerine locates an especially tender spot between post-rock and post-classical to cast a bucolic spell.”\n— UNCUT\n“A true poignant force.”\n— SUN-13\n \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Eliza Niemi/MC Duguay/ Nathan Lawr
DESCRIPTION:Our earliest exposures to music can often be the most formative. For Toronto-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Eliza Niemi, that influence came from her Dad who taught her the basics of bass and guitar at home. These childhood experiences of playing music together by ear fostered the sense of playfulness that she’s approached her craft with ever since. They also instilled an ethic in her creative work that prioritizes making music with friends and loved ones.\nConnection and collaboration lives in the intimacy of her albums, starting with 2019’s Vinegar, an understated set of songs for cello, keyboard and voice that wander with a comforting grace. 2020’s Glass furthered Eliza’s reputation for writing songs that are boundless and experimental without ever being alienating. There’s an open, inviting quality throughout the record, apparent from the close-miked instruments, to her softly sung and affable lyrics that unfold like a conversation with a good friend.\nHer latest album, Staying Mellow Blows, furthers these ideas and aesthetics to a staggering degree, retaining the candor, humor and emotional humility she’s known for, while letting the vast number of supporting musicians shape each song with their own emotionally resonant performances. The result feels whimsical and inspired, and is the sound of an artist flourishing.\nNathan Lawr is one of the unsung heroes of the Canadian indie rock renaissance, having served as the drummer-of-choice for artists including Feist and FemBots, while also being a key collaborator in the 1990s Guelph, Ontario scene that spawned Constantines, Jim Guthrie, Royal City and Sea Snakes.\nMichael C. Duguay is a songwriter, performer, producer, and experimenter based in Kingston/Wolfe Island, ON.\n

SUMMARY:Emily Triggs
DESCRIPTION:Following Emily’s widely accepted release ‘When Guinevere Went Under’, Triggs is busting down walls that confine an artist to expectations with her sophomore album ‘Middletown’. Triggs has truly come into her own stepping out as a solo artist and has embraced the spotlight including performances at Vancouver and Calgary Folk Music Festivals. Possessing an instrument evocative of folk artists from the ‘60s and ‘70s, Triggs’ alto is bright and clear with a comforting classic and contemporary in equal measure; classic surely as a result of her folk family, contemporary due to surrounding herself with some of the countries best musical collaborators. The youngest of five growing up in a mix of English and French culture, it was in living room jam sessions with local and visiting musicians that Emily learned the history and art of lyrical composition and performance.\nIn true fashion, Middletown will not let listeners down as Emily continues to push boundaries of the folk/roots genre with influences spanning from Texas blues to her years in French Canada. Emily shares stories through songs with an endearing simplicity that belies their emotional depth.\n\nhttps://www.emilytriggs.com/about\n

SUMMARY:Rocky Roberts
DESCRIPTION:Join local darling Rocky Roberts on the patio for a late summer show to remember.\nThe first version of Rocky Roberts & Friends was born in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the early 90’s around the time I began my mid life crisis as a guitar tech for Neil Young’s Bands. Still working on that! (Now tech with My Morning Jacket and Ray Lamontagne.)\nWe played parties around the mountain and got to do some fun gigs on occasion. Opened for the Sir Douglas Revue at Slims in SF, The Drifters in San Mateo. I also corralled friends while out on the road for dark nights to play local clubs. Some great fun with folks like Rick Rosas, Sarah Harmer, Nels Cline and others kind enough to join me on their nights off.\nThe last few years has been a combo of Rocky & Friends shows, occasionally getting to open for the likes of The Bill Kirchen Bands, Richey Furay of The Buffalo Springfield and Pegi Young & the Survivors at the Iron Horse Saloon. Some Festivals and up on the Island of Wolves with Chris and the gang. I’ve also been sitting in with the ever excitable “Treefort”.\nI’ve also had the honor of laying down a few slide tracks for many of the Wolfe Island gang. Suzanne Jarvie, David Corley, Hadley Thackston, One River, and of course, Chris Brown. So many great songs and souls! Recorded with Treefort on their latest Album “Talking To The Dogs” and Maura Kennedy’s “Sun Burns Gold” from her debut solo Album.\nI’m really just a fan who loves a great song and soulful note. I’ve been so lucky to hang out listening, watching while tuning guitars for such heroes as Patti Smith, Neil, CSN&Y, Paul Simon, Lucinda Williams, Wilco, Nils Lofgren, My Morning Jacket… even Deep Purple!… Jeez!\nBeen having a lot of fun and looking forward to more music, more love and more tracking at The Post Office scratching a few furry ears!\n

SUMMARY:Bria (of Orville Peck)
DESCRIPTION:Bria is an intimate and incisive laborof love from multi-instrumentalists Bria Salmena and Duncan Hay Jennings. Catapulted by a deep sense of dread and confusion in the depths of 2020, Salmena decided to forgo writing her own music. “I wanted to listen for what might reflect my life back to me,” she says, “six tracks that could be my mirror.” The result is a pointillistic knockout of an EP that weaves a landscape both luscious and a little rogue; showing us exactly what good songs can do.Cuntry Covers Vol. 1houses it all: well-worn favoritesand lesser-known gems.Bria’s first release is a homage tosongs that brought solace and relief in the stillness of last year; as performed by Karen Dalton, Waylon Jennings, John Cale, Lucinda Williams, The Walker Brothers and Mistress Mary.Salmena and Jennings have toured for years as members of Toronto four-piece FRIGS, whose 2018 debutBasic Behaviourwas long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize. Making a mark in diverse genres from country to punk, both play as permanent members of Orville Peck’s band.\nDJ Giddyup Yeehaw to play country tunes all night between sets!\n$15 adv, $20 at the door.

SUMMARY:Open Mic Night with the Bowers Brothers
DESCRIPTION:Tonight Kevin Bowers (Holy Wow, China Cat Riders, etc.) is a special guest host of the Wednesday Open Mic on the Hotel Wolfe Island patio. Tonight will include the first ever performance of all three Bowers Brothers (Pete Bowers and Jeff Bowers) playing some tunes together. Other locals coming up to add. Bring a song of your own and hit the stage!\nKevin’s music is a mixture of mood, melody, poetry, stories and humour. Sometimes simple and sometimes challenging, he sings about topics as diverse as the Flying Monkeys in The Wizard of OZ, stealing tomatoes from the neighbour’s garden, the American invasion of Panama, or a hurtin’ tunes about girls leavin’ town. The tunes are rough and honest; they are sometimes pretty and other times raw. You can hear a wide range of influences in Kevin’s work, from Leonard Cohen, to Neil Young, to Woody Guthrie, to Mississippi John Hurt, and back around to Dylan. He covers several traditional tunes, and he spices his set with plenty of contemporary songs.\n

SUMMARY:Mary Kate Terepka & Jeff Gleeson
DESCRIPTION:MK and Jeff started playing music together in the 90s as high school students in Ottawa, and continued on through university as they collaborated in numerous bands. The busiest of these was called Jacob Two-Two, which released two albums and toured across Canada. They parted musical ways when MK moved to Toronto and both pursued other careers and started families. Jeff kept playing multiple instruments in bands including The Ethics, Cherie and Good Advice in Ottawa. Meanwhile, MK took up the ukulele and has been singing sparse covers at venues in Toronto with percussionist Christian Odorico, under the name MK&CO. For this very special show they will be meeting halfway and playing solo sets, and then joining together to revisit some of the music they have created for over 25 years.\n

DESCRIPTION:Come and enjoy music from these three great Toronto acts from 7pm on. Thursday, August 11th. $10/PWYC!\nSoft Leather\nHailing from Toronto, this five-piece group is headed by David Missio, formerly of Entire Cities. Missio’s lyrics explore emotional topics in playful ways and his growling vocals exude a true rock and roll energy. Influenced by 60’s rock, 90’s grunge and the Velvet Underground, Soft Leather’s hot guitar riffs, driving beats and occasional keyboard freakouts may remind you of something you thought was forgotten.\nDe Pamela\na Toronto-based indie rock/pop band that writes songs about disappointing boyfriends, the way a bad memory never goes away, and how nice it feels to escape the city in the summer. Influenced by bands like Weezer and Cub, De Pamela pairs grungy guitars with sweet vocals, poppy melodies and catchy keyboard hooks in a way that will make you say, “hey, this rocks” and also, “this is fun.”\nHeresy Grove\nHeresy Grove is rockabilly on the ziggurat, poems on the night playground, solid state youth centre punk, tighty-whitey kudzu country. Don’t quite know what that means? I guess you’ll just have to come to find out!\n

SUMMARY:Michael C. Duguay, Joyful Joyful, Stucco, Hsien
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Unfortunately, Michael C. Duguay will not be performing this evening due to illness. The show will go on with Joyful Joyful, Stucco, and Hsien.\n \n$15 at the door.\n\nMichael C. Duguay is a writer, musician, community organizer and performer based out of Kingston, Ontario. First gaining recognition as a versatile and uniquely charismatic supporting player in the early 2000’s, Michael contributed to many critically acclaimed Canadian indie breakthrough albums (Evening Hymns, The Burning Hell, Weird Lines). After surviving nearly  a decade of homelessness and drug addiction, Michael resurfaced in 2018, self-producing and releasing his widely praised sophomore album, The Winter of our Discotheque, which chronicled his years of tumult and established him as one of Canadian music’s most distinct, enigmatic, and honest emerging voices. A fervent collaborator and community builder, Michael’s genre-fluid and multidisciplinary projects feature a diverse and revolving cast of contributing members from across North America. Known for his profound and literary lyrical style, Michael is a pop songsmith at his core, but with projects as far-ranging as traditional folk, avant-garde drone, and electronic music, Michael is as comfortable on bluegrass stages as he is in DIY punk and experimental music spaces. The threads which tie these diverse projects together are a consistently radical conceptual practice, inclusive collaboration, and a fearless emotional honesty.\n\nMichael C. Duguay’s forthcoming album, Saint Maybe, is slated for release in 2023. Initially conceived as a series of agnostic hymns and prayers, Saint Maybe’s lyrical themes explore survival, surrender, spirituality, and the limitations of human language in expressing mystical concepts. Musically, Saint Maybe seamlessly incorporates folk, punk, electronic, jazz, and experimental music traditions while remaining squarely rooted in skillful pop craftsmanship.  Saint Maybe, recorded by Jordy Walker and mixed/mastered by Gavin Brown, was produced in Whitehorse over multiple sessions between 2019 and 2021, and saw Duguay immersing himself in the Yukon’s creative community, collaborating intensively with an impressive roster of that territory’s most innovative and forward-thinking musicians, performers, and visual artists.  Both conceptually and in execution, Saint Maybe impressively displays Michael C. Duguay’s evolution as a pioneer in a new school of Canadian music.\n\nOpening acts:\n \nJoyful Joyful \nSacred Drones from Peterborough\nhttps://www.ideefixerecords.com/product/joyful-joyful ( https://www.ideefixerecords.com/product/joyful-joyful )\n \nStucco\nKingston Dream Pop Duo \nHsien\nFormerly Old Haunt (Montreal)\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Carlo
DESCRIPTION:We are SO excited to have this group play the hotel!\nWhether they’re described as throwbacks to a more innocent time in music—or so hip it hurts—Carlo is simply a great band.  Drawing equally from surf rock, Link Wray, Ennio Morricone and Booker T & The MGs, the all-original Toronto/Ottawa instrumental combo has firmly embedded itself on the scene with a new self-titled album guaranteed to make any situation you’re in a lot cooler.\nCarlo is an instrumental surf band comprised of guitarist James Taylor, keyboardist Kelsey McNulty, bassist Scott McCannell, and current drummer Justin Rupple. After releasing a debut EP in 2015, the band members pursued other projects out of the sheer joy they have writing and performing what could be termed a very specially form of rock and roll. Of course, that’s part of the challenge too, adding their distinctive slant to well-established sounds.\nhttps://carlosurf.bandcamp.com/album/carlo\n\n \n

DESCRIPTION:Chris Giguère & The Final Say play the patio after the market.\nSinger-songwriter guitarist Chris Giguère writes memorable songs of reflection, insight and pondering that live on the blurry boundary between folk, country, and rock.\nOriginally performing as a duo after Robin encouraged Chris to share some of his recent songs, the group became a trio when Alex joined in 2017.\n“Singer-songwriter” or “indie-folk” are genre labels that most closely describe the style of music the group creates. While most of their repertoire is comprised of Chris’ original songs, they also enjoy putting their own stamp on material by artists such as Jason Isbell, Tom Petty, Hawksley Workman, Alison Moyet, Pearl Jam, and others.\nhttp://chrisgigsmusic.ca/\n

SUMMARY:Psych Night Vol. IV! Strange Happenings / Slow Dawn
DESCRIPTION:Two Psychedelic Rock Bands at The Hotel Wolfe Island\nTickets $15 Advance, $20 at Door\nTHE SLOW DAWN — Weirdo/psykicdelic songs\nhttps://slowdawn0.bandcamp.com/album/songs-from-a-distant-earth\nsongs from a distant earth by Slow Dawn ( https://slowdawn0.bandcamp.com/album/songs-from-a-distant-earth )\nTHE STRANGE HAPPENINGS are a psych/garage band from Wolfe Island, Ontario. Originally formed in 2016, The Strange Happenings pull from a wide range of influences. Kraut Rock, Prog, Punk and Metal. Fronted with classical 60s revival vocals and a black hole inducing Maxi-Korg/Acetone combo. These long hairs are often heard drenched in fat, spacey guitar tone wavering in and out of pocket contrasted against a relentless rhythm section paying homage to the forefathers of motorik and polyrhythm. With influences of early Pink Floyd, Can, Hawkwind, Simply Saucer, Meshuggah, & OH Sees. A swampy blend of ear catching grooves, druidic 6 string spells and a miasmatic soup of atmospheres.\n \n

SUMMARY:Garden Party: Stephen Stanley / Holy Wow / Songs of Steven Heighton
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Wolfe Island Garden Party! June 17-26 — Nine days of live music, great food, art, & community. See https://wolfeislandrecords.com/gardenparty/ ( https://wolfeislandrecords.com/gardenparty/ ) for more information.\n\nStephen Stanley\nCanadian singer-songwriter and guitarist Stephen Stanley ( https://stephenstanleyband.com/ ) is best known from his many years as a founding member, lead guitarist and vocalist with the vibrant alternative rock band The Lowest of the Low. After many song hits, years of touring and sharing the stage with the likes of Billy Bragg, Bob Mould, The Violent Femmes, The Jayhawks and Lloyd Cole, a gold record for their “genuinely timeless album” (Exclaim!) Shakespeare My Butt, Stanley is back on the music scene with his own band, The Stephen Stanley Band, and an internationally acclaimed record Jimmy & The Moon, (2017). Stanley is currently finishing his band’s next record.\nHoly Wow\nHoly Wow has a dreamy Canadiana fashioned from America’s psychedelic coast and its weird and swampy bayous. It is pop music about bewilderment and joy that has just enough of a candy sheen to cover its own muddy tracks. Holy Wow is Kevin Bowers, Adam Hodge & Daniel Woods.\n\nSongs of Stephen Heighton\nSteven Heighton ( https://wolfeislandrecords.com/stevenheighton/ ), beloved member of the Wolfe Island Records family, passed away on April 19, 2022, after a sudden battle with cancer. Already an award-winning author of eighteen books—novels, poetry, short stories, essays, and a memoir, Steven released an album of original music in 2021. We’ll be remembering Steven this evening through his words and music.\n \n\n\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:The Mill Rights recently finished recording their debut self titled album, set for release this summer on Wolfe Island Records. The album features 13 original songs crafted from the foundations of rock, reggae, country, folk, and blues. True to their roots, the songs ebb and flow through tales of mystery and magic, to fiery righteous rock anthems, and heartfelt narrations of the human experience.\nFor more info visit:\nhttps://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-mill-rights-album-funding-drive\nJon McLurg spins songs of truth, reflection, melancholy, contentment, and spirituality.

SUMMARY:Clem Chesterfield
DESCRIPTION:Call him “country” or “outlaw” but Kingston (ON) based entertainer Clem Chesterfield’s self described definition is, “cosmic cowboy meets alt-country… in a fancy sequin suit”. Clem Chesterfield is the alter ego of singer/songwriter Tim Sheffield who began his music career in the 1980’s in rock and blues based bands. In 2016 Sheffield found himself with a group of original songs that he could only describe as ”country in nature”. He knew the perfect persona to deliver those songs, “Clem Chesterfield”, his version of a working class hero embracing “cowboy chic”. The songs were crafted into 2017’s debut release, The Chronicles Of Clem Chesterfield. Clem on vocals and acoustic guitar was joined by Jason Euringer (Sarah Harmer Band) on upright acoustic bass and Burke Carroll (George Fox, Murray McLauchlan, Ian Tyson) on pedal steel and dobro guitars. Together they presented these new songs with a fresh take on the Classic Country sound which includes an essential Everyman viewpoint identifying as pure Canadiana.\n\nhttps://www.clemchesterfield.com/\n

DESCRIPTION:3:00 – 3:30pm – Teilhard Frost\n3:30 – 5pm – Vinta\nVinta is Nathan Smith, Emilyn Stam, John David Williams, and Robert Alan Mackie, four brilliant performers and close friends at the cutting edge of European traditional music in Canada. Nearly a decade of these four musicians hanging out at fiddle jams around Toronto has culminated in this quartet, bringing new intensity to old tunes, and growing new tunes from old sources. A band of multi-instrumentalists and genuine scholars, Vinta is making music that is powerful, profound, and fiercely danceable.\nIn the great void of 2020, the four bubbled together and passed what seemed like a lifetime of otherwise empty days in a breezy backyard in Guelph, ON. They played every fiddle tune they could remember, and got to learning new ones when they ran out. A somewhat improvised concert in that very backyard showed them how dynamic and emotional an experience they could bring to audiences who had not heard a band for months, and they quickly reinvented what touring could look like in those new peculiar circumstances.\nTheir unshakeable resolve to bring live performances to live people saw them parading through farming communities on oxen-towed hay wagons, popping up around corners on downtown bar patios, and rigging up elaborate decorations in parks from Stratford to Mont-Laurier to attract anyone and everyone to their energetic performances.\nhttps://www.vintamusic.com/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/VintaBand/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/vintaband/\n \n \nTeilhard Frost is a multi-instrumentalist, specializing in traditional fiddle tunes, with a particular interest in the Appalachian Mountains. He has spent the last twelve years touring with critically acclaimed band Sheesham, Lotus and ‘Son.\nhttps://tfrostmusic.com/profile\n \n\n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPxBTQA8TfI\n \n \n
