Small Glories is the musical union between folk/roots artists Cara Luft and JD Edwards and they are creating a big international buzz. Their abilities as both strong lead and harmony singers combined with their songwriting prowess and musical chops all contribute to the uniqueness of this partnership. This is country, blues, R & B with a healthy dose of good 'ol rock and roll, old-time, Americana and original tunes.  You have never seen a duo like this.

If ever there was a one-woman blues powerhouse her name would be Suzi Vinnick.  When this Saskatoon native takes the stage, she takes it from footlights to rafters and owns it.

Her guitar work is effortlessly commanding and supremely tasteful. But it is mostly her powerful presence that leaves a lasting impression. This lady is a force of nature with a six-string guitar.

Five exciting writers reading from their works, discussing their writing, and participating in panel discussions. And not just any old writers here.  We're talking medal winners, Banff Mountain Book Festival Grand Prize winners, CBC Canada Reads finalists, Alberta Literary Award finalists, and Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Award winners!

Colleen Brown and her band have been winning over audiences nationwide with her groove-filled and melodically mature pop-influenced songs that have enjoyed high rotation on both CBC 2 and CKUA Radio Network.  She is a musical chameleon who is at home behind both her piano and guitar. Joni Mitchell remains one of Brown’s biggest influences but Brown is not attempting to impersonate Mitchell. This is not a tribute act.  Brown is simply one of few artists who can interpret Mitchell’s vast body of work with such intensity and confidence.

Edmonton's own Braden Gates is a folk singer through and through, full of wit and wisdom, folksy charm and sharp observations. Gates’ compositions are relevant and, strangely, very rooted in the present - even if he plays that fiddle and picks that guitar like an artist three times his age.

Prairie Oyster was always more than a “country” band, and with his solo career, DeCarle’s warm, burnished and intimate voice has always honoured an eclectic range of songs that mix southern soul and restrained balladry, with obvious touches of jazz, blues, old-school country, and western swing.
