Artists

LINEUP 2025

Lights Updated

Lights is many things all at once: Singer. Songwriter. Producer. Multi-instrumentalist. Comic book author. DJ. Artist. She’s also unabashedly honest and unapologetically confident. Weaving in and out of alternative, indie, electronic, and dance, she makes manic pop irreverent of boundaries, yet reverent of truth. She speaks her heart musically and her mind lyrically. It’s why her shadow over alternative music and culture continues to grow with streams in the hundreds of millions and widespread critical acclaim. She has sold out tours on multiple continents, made headlines from Coachella to Comic-Con, and powered collaborations with Travis Barker, deadmau5, Kaskade, Illenium, Steve Aoki, Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, and more.

DanBejarUncut4

Where previous Destroyer albums were locked in combat with the world, the newest, Dan’s Boogie, dances with it, its nine reveries coalescing into “one long hustle”.  Initially, challenging himself to not write songs so the ideas would well up inside of him until they breached containment, the months following the completion of LABYRINTHITIS turned into one year, then two, at which point Bejar gave himself a New Year’s resolution to play the piano every day for an hour. That lasted about four days, but the songs Bejar credits as coming from that resolution— ”Cataract Time,” “Hydroplaning Off the Edge of the World,” “Bologna,” and “Dan’s Boogie” among them—are all-timer Destroyer songs across the vast spectrum Bejar and his collaborators have established for themselves: spectacle-laden pop epics, personal piano ballads, and smouldering works of mood that blur the lines between song and novel. 

Destroyer
Melbourne Ska Orchestra

The Weather Station

Tamara Lindeman, the Canadian artist behind The Weather Station, returns with Humanhood, her seventh and most powerful album to date. Born out of a period of personal crisis, she channels her disorientation into an intimate yet experimental folk-rock sound. Following the critical success of Ignorance (2021) and its companion How Is It That I Should Look at the Stars (2022), this album captures the raw improvisational energy of a band responding in real-time to her emotions. Recorded with co-producer Marcus Paquin at Canterbury Music Company, Humanhood unfolds as a journey from chaos to tentative renewal, oscillating between despair and hope. Tracks like Body Moves and Window reflect an internal struggle through shifting musical structures, while moments of redemption emerge in Humanhood and Sewing, where Lindeman finds solace in nature and embraces life’s uncertainties.

Jamie Fine (1)

Ottawa-born singer/songwriter Jamie Fine uses her music to inspire audiences to explore emotions we all feel but often struggle to express—ranging from anger and isolation to joy and connection. Her unique ability to convey intense emotion is her superpower. For Jamie, music is deeply personal: “I write music for me—it’s cathartic. It helps me process my experiences.” Releasing music, she admits, feels vulnerable: “The safest place in the world is in my head. Sharing my music is like opening that space to others, aiming to create a safe place for them to explore their own emotions.” Jamie values unfiltered, honest conversations with family, friends, and her audience: “Real connections feed my soul like writing and performing.” Time with loved ones keeps her grounded. A four-time Juno nominee, Jamie’s music has over 100 million global streams. Her hit single If Anything’s Left reached Platinum status in Canada and Double-Platinum in South Africa.

the honest heart collective

The small Canadian city of Thunder Bay exists somewhere in the time and place between never and nowhere. Home to a modern rock band with a heavy history and a sheer will like no other. The Honest Heart Collective. Their three albums present an unintended trilogy; Liar’s Club, the naïve home studio DIY, Grief Rights, a blue collar coming-of-age tale, and More Harm, an accumulation of failures and victories picked up along the way. Standing at the crossroads of promise and pain, The Honest Heart Collective offer themselves up to you. Take what you will.

Kate Maki colour photo by Kelly Lamb

Sudbury’s own, Kate Maki, "a sweet-singing school teacher, who deserves all the apples she gets, preaches and teaches with ragged country honesty and heart" (Globe and Mail).  The accomplished songwriter and frequent collaborator returns to the stage, after a nine-year hiatus, with her seventh record, Impossible Knot.  Like all great Americana music, Maki combines country, folk, rock, blues, and soul effortlessly, and although tough to fit into just one of these categories, Impossible Knot, due in part to its confessional lyrics, group harmonies, and stringed instruments, could be found in the classic country bin at your local record store.  “I love how country songs seem simple at first, but that there exists a complexity, a tangible connection to the mysteries of the human condition, hidden deep within.”  

Kate Maki
Minor Gold_Colour_HiRes_LaurenLotz

Blending sixth sense harmonies with sun-dappled folk-rock, Minor Gold are an award-winning duo led by award winning vocalists and guitarists Dan Parsons (AUS) & Tracy McNeil (CAN).  With heartfelt songs, free-spirited rhythms and an undeniable stage chemistry, their music floats you down desert highways and through coastal canyons. Living the life on international highways & backroads since they formed in 2022, the duo kicks off 2025 with a new single, Way to the Sun - the title track from their forthcoming sophomore album, produced by Dan Horne (Mapache, Cass McCombs) backed by a North American tour – leading the way to the full album release in July 2025.

Minor Gold
bad actors

Bad Actors are a folk music duo based out of Sudbury, Ontario. As former members of Murder Murder, Barry Miles and Jonathan Danyliw have been mining the annals of appalachian, Americana, and bluegrass traditions for over a decade. This is folk music in the truest sense of the term, music that borrows from a centuries long catalogue of resources in an effort to both honour the genre's history and also examine the unique experiences of contemporary life. Sometimes the best way to process the present is to filter it through an old lens. Debut album "Silver Hands/Diamond Teeth" out now.

Bad Actors
IceThaOne-PressPhoto

Ice Tha One is the next sound iteration for a generation that takes ownership over their sexuality, voice, and unapologetic self-expression. Her sound is a blend of Rn’B, Hip-Hop, jazz, soul with an acoustic backdrop and a captivating stage presence. Big hair, a grill on her bottom teeth, a vintage Raptors’ jersey and tambourine. 

You expect one thing and you get it, but what comes next is almost an antithesis to her personal aesthetic. She has the ability to throw down bars and then let loose a smooth and sultry R n’ B sound. The contrast is enchanting. For womxn and non-binary folx in the game, Ice stands tall, with enduring strength that is rooted in her inner city upbringing in the Eastside of Toronto’s Moss Park.
