Quote the Raven is Jordan Coaker e Kirsten Rodden-Clarke Quote the Raven, consisting of Jordan Coaker and Kirsten Rodden-Clarke have been performing together for over a decade. The pair got their start in the small bars and pubs around St. John's and in the past few years have rapidly grown to a household name around Canada and are steadily growing their clout on an international level.
The dynamic duo have a harmonious blend that's incomparable; it's like the blending of two voices into one, while their Americana meets east coast songwriting and stage dynamic are irresistibly charming. With over one million streams across all streaming platforms it's clear that Quote the Raven have been catching the attention of listeners and that's apparent from their touring history as well. With one Cross Canadian Tour, five Eastern Canadian and two Western Canadian tours under their belts, and with more to come in 2023 and 2024, the duo have performed at major festivals around the Country. Festivals like the Vancouver Island, Vancouver, Mission, Canmore, Bear Creek and Lunenburg Folk Festivals where they've performed to tens of thousands of attendees. The 2019, 2021, and 2022 MusicNL Group of the Year have had official showcases in the US including Americanafest, NERFA, and the 2023 Folk Alliance, and have introduced their music to both Trinidad and Tobago, and Germany with hopes of continuing that global reach throughout the next two years.
Their sophomore album titled Can't Hold the Light, an album that delves into the lives of working musicians won the 2022 ECMA for Contemporary Roots album of the year and has been nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards. It's clear to see that Quote the Raven are on an upward trajectory with noslowing down in sight.

Aberdeenshire folksinger, Iona Fyfe, has become one of Scotland’s finest singers, rooted deeply in the singing traditions of the North East of Scotland. In 2021, she became the first singer to win the coveted title of Musician of the Year at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards. Iona is a fierce advocate for the official recognition of the Scots Language, leading a successful campaign to pressure Spotify into recognising Scots and add it to its list of languages. Honoured at the Scots Language Awards with the title of Speaker of the Year in 2021, Iona performs both folk and pop songs in the Scots language, remaining true to her rooting in tradition. Iona has featured in several publications including The Sunday Post, The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Times. She won the title of Scots Singer of the Year at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards in 2018 and was described as “one of the best Scotland has to offer.”  (Global-Music.de)
Iona has made musical appearances on several TV broadcasts including Landward (BBC Scotland), Great Canal Journeys (Channel 4) Secret Scotland with Susan Calman (Channel 5), Binneas Na Trads (BBC ALBA), Under Canvas (BBC ALBA), Hame (BBC Northern Ireland) and Great Railway Journeys with Michael Portillo (BBC Two). Her music has received airplay and has been performed in session on radio shows such as Music Planet (BBC Radio 3), The Folk Show (BBC Radio 2) The Afternoon Show, Take The Floor and Travelling Folk (BBC Radio Scotland).
With extensive touring experience, Iona, a mere 23 years of age, has performed throughout the UK, Poland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Czech Republic, Canada and Australia. Iona has performed with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra as part of the World Premiere of Disney Pixar’s Brave in Concert at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Released in 2019, Dark Turn of Mind is Iona’s first EP entirely in English and features six ballads and songs found in both Appalachia and Aberdeenshire and has been described as “a new interpretation to the country genre” – Maverick.
Iona studied at the prestigious Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and graduated with a first-class honours degree in Traditional Music and holds an FLCM from London College of Music. A finalist in the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year in 2021, Iona has achieved sell-out shows at Edinburgh Fringe Festival for three consecutive years. A familiar face on the UK folk club circuit, Iona is just as much at home in an unaccompanied singing setting, as she is with full band line-up. Performing at Interceltique Festival De Lorient in France, she was described as “a Scottish folksinger, magical and charismatic” (Rolling Stone, France)..
Iona is a regional member of the Musicians Union’s Scotland and Northern Ireland branch. She serves as a director of the Traditional Music and Song Association of Scotland. In 2020, Iona helped to found Oor Vyce, the campaign group dedicated to securing official recognition of the Scots Language and lobbied 35 out of 129 MSPs to sign a Scots Pledge, which would seek to secure protection, funding and promotion of the language that over 1.5million people speak. (2011 census). Iona is a passionate supporter of the statutory recognition of the Scots language. Iona has spoken out against sexual harassment and champions equality within the music industry. She has also discussed fair pay for music streaming and the effect of Brexit on live touring. Iona appeared on BBC News, interviewed by Victoria Derbyshire about implications that Brexit has caused for touring musicians.
Growing up within the Traditional Music and Song Association movement, Iona met many revivalist singers such as Jimmie Hutchison, Joe Aitken and Carole Prior who influenced her ballad and bothy ballad style. Attending singarounds, ceilidhs and competitions from 5 years of age, Iona learnt her repertoire mainly through oral transmission and is still a regular within the competitive ballad circuit.
Iona’s debut album Away From My Window was held to critical acclaim and received nationwide airplay on programmes such as BBC Radio 2 The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio Scotland’s Travelling Folk, Take The Floor and BBC Radio Nan Gaidheal. An exploration of her unique style and songwriting voice, Away From My Window features archive material of singers such as Stanley Robertson and Lizzie Higgins whilst drawing on the work of more recent songmakers such as Michael Marra and Aidan Moffat (Arab Strap). “Away From My Window” was premiered at a sold out Celtic Connections performance featuring a larger musical ensemble and live on-stage sampling of source singers.
“Describing Iona Fyfe as a Scottish folksinger is probably doing her an injustice, as the versatility displayed on her new, EP release, Dark Turn of Mind, reflects her grasp and understanding of jazz, Americana and much more.” – RnR Magazine
“Poignant and well delivered. Singing well within herself, Iona’s voice, at times reminiscent of Cara Dillon, is well suited to the ballads recorded on this album.” – Scottish Field

She, Men, & the Giant F*cking Snake

To call Laura Cortese a globetrotter would be to drastically understate her adventurous spirit. Her nature, as a musician, has always been to go where the wind takes her, settling into new ecosystems in which to adapt and grow roots until the breeze blows once more. In these travels, she has found a global network of collaborators–friends and mentors who have helped her forge bonds and grow mastery in many musical traditions, all of which she approaches with the same reverence and devotion that she felt when picking up a fiddle for the very first time as a young child.Now, more than twenty years into her already impressive career, she makes her home in Ghent, Belgium, where she continues to do what she is best at: building musical community. Despite a global pandemic and rolling lockdowns, Laura Cortese created opportunities for local creatives to come together, sharing space and inspiration with each other in every gathering. In so doing, she was inspired to create a new solo show based on original American folk songs. When Laura is alone on the stage, the audience becomes her band, stamping and clapping like a kick and snare drum, sometimes singing along sweetly and occasionally reminiscent of an enthusiastic gang vocal. She can be found performing internationally, exploring, and exalting in her passion for American roots music.

Daddy’s Issues
Merlin Simard, Big T Collective, Toronto (February 14th & 15th)

Daddy's Issues est une pièce bilingue qui explore le deuil d’un parent encore en vie. Lors d’un déménagement dans son nouvel appartement, Anaïs découvre l’ancien téléphone de son père caché dans l’une des boîtes. Au travers d’un récit qui se tisse entre monologue et scènes entre deux amoureuses, les circonstances de la disparition du père d’Anaïs devient de plus en plus claire. Et compliquée! Un pied dans son enfance et l’autre pris dans un Iphone 4 avec l'écran craqué, Anaïs devra réparer les ruptures de son enfance pour pouvoir enfin se sentir complète. Cette pièce est une lettre d’amour pour ceux qui choisissent de rester, à la complexité de la condition de mère transféminine, mais surtout, c’est une lettre d’amour envers les fractures profondes des enfances trop courtes.
Ce spectacle bilingue (français/anglais) refuse de privilégier une langue au détriment de l'autre. Il remet en question les normes de séparation linguistique et, au contraire, embrasse le chaos familier des nos oralités.
Performances sur-titrées en anglais: 14 février, 18h30 & 15 février, 16h00
Créé par Merlin Simard
Mise en scène par Lior Maharjan
Interprété par Xénia Gould et Sophie-Thérèse Stone-Richards
Politique de remboursement: Les billets peuvent être entièrement remboursés dans l'heure suivant l'achat. Les demandes de remboursement faites au-delà d'une heure après l'achat seront remboursées, mais sous déduction des frais de billetterie

Daddy's Issues is a bilingual play that explores the grief of losing a parent who is still alive. While moving into her new apartment, Anaïs discovers her father’s old phone hidden in one of the boxes. Through a narrative that weaves between monologue and scenes between two lovers, the circumstances of Anaïs’s father’s disappearance become increasingly clear—and complicated! With one foot in her childhood and the other stuck in an iPhone 4, Anaïs will have to mend the fractures of her past to finally feel whole. This play is a love letter to those who choose to stay, to the complexity of trans girl motherhood, but above all, it is a love letter to the deep fractures of childhoods that end too soon.
This bilingual show (French/English) refuses to belong to one language over another. It challenges norms of linguistic separation and, instead, embraces the familiar chaos du real way qu'on se parle.
Note that this is a bilingual show with English captions.
