Boreal is a powerhouse trio of Canadian singer-songwriters Katherine Wheatley, Tannis Slimmon and Angie Nussey. Their new album, “Winterbirds” (March 2025), has earned them Canadian Folk Music Award nominations for Album of the Year, Ensemble of the Year, and Vocal Group of the Year.

Their music brings together three distinct voices—Katherine’s is deep, steady and rooted in earthy folk; Tannis’s is ethereal, improvisational and explores sacred soundscapes; Angie is the emotional, untamed force. When they write and arrange their songs, they take advantage of these differences. The result is a unique sound that’s as cohesive as it is surprising.

For three decades Canada’s legendary folk ensemble Tanglefoot carried the spirit of Canada in story and song across North America, the UK and parts of Europe.

Now the band brings their signature energy and warmth to a new chapter of touring, celebrating the enduring connections between the songs, friendships and audiences that have always been at the heart of their music.

Known for powerful harmonies, quick wit, and storytelling steeped in Canadian history, the band reunites Canadian Folk Music Award winners Steve Ritchie, Al Parrish, Sandra Swannell Young, and Rob Ritchie. They are joined by Rob’s son, singer/multi-instrumentalist Josh Ritchie who steps into the place once held by the late Terry Young, a tribute to both family and legacy.

This series of select performances will showcase fan favourites and hidden gems, with a spark that bridges generations through music that’s timeless, heartfelt and unmistakably Canadian.

Maggie’s Wake is a dynamic and refreshing band from Southwestern Ontario, Canada, blending the timeless roots of traditional folk with the energy of varied music styles, including jazz, Americana, and classic country. Drawing on their heritage while forging new ground, their sound is both deeply rooted and wholly original. With a passion for celebrating the rich history of folk music in a modern voice, Maggie’s Wake seeks to inspire, uplift, and bring joy to audiences everywhere.

Jessica Rhaye with Bill Preeper and Sandy MacKay (aka Preeper Rhaye MacKay) is a folk trio comprised of Canadian songbird Jessica Rhaye, guitarist Bill Preeper, and multi-instrumentalist Sandy MacKay. They began working together in the folk-rock band The Ramshackle Parade.

This trio has developed a Maritime Appalachian Folk sound with a unique mix of acoustic and electric instrumentation that will take listeners back to the height of the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 60’s. The singers deliver lush 3-part harmonies, weaving and sharing lead and harmony parts for their own compositions, along with simple, yet elegant arrangements. It’s new folk music at its finest, pulling together inspiration from the likes of Woody Guthrie, Ian Tyson, and Bob Dylan. This group gets compared to a modern Peter Paul & Mary, creating an intricate vocal blend.

Aleksi Campagne is uniquely qualified to offer a contemporary, indie-folk take on the time-honoured fiddle-singing tradition. At five years old, he began performing alongside his mother, Canadian folk icon, Connie Kaldor. At 19, Aleksi moved to Paris to study under jazz violin legend Didier Lockwood. At 21, Aleksi became the only student to have ever been accepted into the classical violin, the jazz violin and the jazz voice performance programs at McGill University. Since then, Aleksi had graced the lineups of some of Canada’ most beloved folk festivals—including the Mariposa Folk Festival, the Regina Folk Festival, and the Northern Lights Festival, among others. Aleksi tours festivals and venues across Canada with a four-piece band made up of some of the finest young musicians Montreal has to offer: Stephane Krims (Bass), Aaron Dolman (drums) and Zach Bachand (guitar).
