Stephen Stanley
Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist Stephen Stanley 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.

Holy Wow
Holy 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.

Songs of Stephen Heighton
Steven Heighton, 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.
