Eric Lindberg and Kyla Tilly

Arielle Silver and Tracy Perrin

Arielle Silver was born on the Gulf of Mexico, raised in the mid-Atlantic, skinnydipped through college in Walden Pond, and now live a traffic jam away from the Pacific Ocean in her adopted state of California. Arielle's dad was strumming his guitar and singing songs from the best troubadours of his time. She studied classical woodwinds in college, and from the minute picked up a guitar, and began writing songs. Across time and space, songs and stories are – have always been – the great human connector. Hearing singer-songwriter Tracee Perrin’s music, one is immediately struck by her formidable voice that enhances the one-of-a-kind edge to her distinct indie alternative Americana sound. Just as apparent is an inherent relatability in both Perrin’s presence and captivating lyrics, something that has its roots in the Los Angeles native’s youth.

Eric Lindberg and Kyla Tilly

Eric Lindberg is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and cultural innovator known for his work in the band Nefesh Mountain [https://www.nefeshmountain.com/]. He is also the band's co-founder, alongside his wife and musical partner, Doni Zasloff. Kyla Tilley is a Canadian singer-songwriter known for her emotionally turbulent live performances, her gymnastic guitar playing, and her fabulous shoe collection. Using whatever words she likes, Kyla constructs tales true and tall of fantastic exploits, mundane tasks, and moderate misadventure, delivered through a mix of vocal fusillades, chaotic finger-picking, and kaleidoscopic rhythms, punctuated with scintillating melodies and moments of serenity. Call it prog-folk.

Svavar Knútur and Angela Saini

Svavar Knútur has released six solo albums beginning in 2009 with "Kvöldvaka (Songs by the Fire)". In 2010, he presented "Amma (Songs for my Grandmother)" and in 2012 his "Ölduslóð (Way of Waves)". In 2015 "Brot (The Breaking)" was released. In September 2018 Knútur released the album "Ahoy! Side A" via Dimma and Nordic Notes. A story of new beginnings and the challenges of a new world. It contains five new songs and four "Repaintings" of older songs. Most recently, the album "Ahoy! Side B" was released in April 2024. The state of being in-between—the place where things are not clearly defined is where true self-knowledge is derived. When you don’t fit in, you define yourself on your own terms. Singer-songwriter Angela Saini is bi-racial and a crossover country-pop artist who has forged her identity through unflinching positivity and empowering ideals. Today, the Toronto-based country folk-pop artist will issue a series of singles seeding a path to her sophomore album. “I am known for positive songs, but a lot of these were written in dark states. My life isn’t ponies and rainbows, but I write myself out of the sadness,” Angela says. “In every moment we have a choice. I choose to uplift myself and bring people along with me." Angela sweeps people away with instantly-memorable, toe-tapping pop infused with storyteller sing-alongs about courage and finding joy in surprising places. Her Calgary, Canada upbringing—a hotbed of country music—and her Garth Brooks obsession, always informs her instantly memorable songcraft. After all, you can take the girl out of the prairie, but you can’t take the prairie out of the girl.

Buggy Jive and Selina Boland

Soul rock singer-songwriter Buggy Jive has always made music while in hiding, quietly uploading songs and music videos from a basement studio somewhere in Upstate New York.

Even before his pandemic-era music video and reclusive rallying cry “Ain’t Going Anywhere” [https://buggyjive.com/videos/aint-going-anywhere/] went viral, the only way to see him perform live was the occasional house concert [https://buggyjive.com/videos/the-buggy-jive-house-concert/] streamed live from his basement studio. Selina Boland is a multi-faceted Canadian artist whose journey into the world of music has been marked by her heritage, geography, innovation and drive.
