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.

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.

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.

Téton Tardif Caroline Raynaud, Sudbury (February 13th & 15th)
Dans un seule-en-scène, une femme a peur de mettre au monde une fille. Elle se questionne sur les origines de cette peur, comment devient-on une femme ? Par les seins se rappelle-t-elle à ses 11 ans.
Le désir d’avoir des seins et leur absence, les modèles de féminité dans les journaux, à la télé, dans la société, cristallisent cette croyance. Elle nous emmène alors avec elle dans sa quête. Cette quête des seins est un prétexte pour plonger dans l’imaginaire culturel, tout ce qu’on ingurgite sans en prendre conscience, et qui en dit long sur la société dans laquelle on grandit, et qui influence jusqu’à notre intimité, notre rapport à la chair, à la sexualité, la relation à l’autre.
Entre le stand-up et drame théâtral, la parole brise le quatrième mur et se veut directe et authentique.

Presented as a solo-performance, a woman is afraid to give birth to a daughter. She questions the origins of this fear—how does one become a woman? She remembers her breasts at the age of 11. 
The desire for breasts and their absence, the models of femininity in magazines, on TV, in society, crystallize this belief. She then takes us on a journey with her. This quest for breasts becomes an excuse to dive into the cultural imagination, all the things we ingest without realizing it, which reveal a lot about the society in which we grow up and influence even our intimacy, our relationship to the body, to sexuality, and to others.
Between stand-up and theatrical drama, the text breaks the fourth wall and aims to be direct and authentic.

Horseshoes & Hand Grenades (HHG) is thrilled to partner with undercurrents for this edition of New Play Tuesday.
Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Theatre is drawn to where the political and the personal intersect – the politics of everyday life. In curating this edition of New Play Tuesday, we were drawn to stories that center on individuals and their identities within a larger societal question: these are stories of community and belonging as much as they are capital “P” political. And while each of these texts addresses a serious or important “Political” issue, they all do so with nuance, and often humour, engaging the audience in discussion or reflection, rather than being didactic about serious topics
 HHG is also committed to supporting Ottawa area artists in developing their work and finding pathways for these works to be staged professionally. We therefore prioritized works with a completed full draft for which New Play Tuesday can be a catalyst towards a full, professional production.

LINEUP:
Wind by Cullen Elijah McGrail 
Directed by Mary Ellis
Featuring Ananya Antony, Sasha Dominique, Geoff McBride, Will Somers and Puja Uppal
When Will discovers his neighbours up in arms over the recent wind farm development in the area, he sees it as the opportunity to write his first big play. The deeper he digs, however, the more he realizes that these neighbours — and his dad — are quickly falling for dangerous anti-science groupthink. Struggling to feel part of his rural community while maintaining his progressive beliefs, Wind offers a glimpse into the complex and heavily nuanced relationship between a father slipping out into the fringes and the son trying to pull him back in.
 
A Different Kind of Job by Jessica Anderson
Directed by Mary Ellis
Featuring Ananya Antony, Geoff McBride, Will Somers and Puja Uppal
After two students end up in an interlude that goes horribly wrong, a young teacher at a Conservative Catholic school ends up providing forbidden sex education to a teenage girl. The play is a darkly comic look at the fallout of this instruction and the ensuing results on the students, the teachers and the community. A Different Kind of Job explores how we evaluate pushing boundaries or just plain crossing the line.
 
Our Lives Inseparable by Sanita Fejzić
Directed by Manon St-Jules
Featuring Ananya Antony, Gabrielle Brunet-Poirier, Will Somers and Puja Uppal
Convinced they can make the world a better place through writing and reading, Saša, Director of Sunnyside Library’s non-fiction department, is forced to confront the harsh reality of living in a class society that elevates some at the expense of others. Saša, George, Iman and Cassandra meet at the library’s café, a space where everyone is welcome. But are they really? George, a gay unhoused man, is desperate to change his situation, while Iman, the child of refugees, struggles to get out of intergenerational poverty. When Cassandra, a wealthy noblewoman from Europe, enters their lives, difficult truths come to surface. A failure of governments to offer quality, affordable housing, homelessness is not a reflection of individual worth or will. A broken social net lacks dignity and limits authentic connection with others. Likewise, absurd inherited wealth can be isolating and a barrier to genuine social bonds, especially across class differences. Our Lives Inseparable dwells on the impacts of poverty in a time of escalating social and climate crisis. Homelessness and poverty are not just a policy and budget choice; they are embedded in our sexual and emotional lives, and deeply rooted in our psyches, echoing through the centuries like Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens.
 
Y’es-tu trop tard pour apprendre à aimer les écureuils? 
By Sabrina Desnoyers
*Spectacle francophone avec sur-titres en anglais*
Réalisation par Manon St-Jules
Distribution: Gabrielle Brunet-Poirier
«Y’es-tu trop tard pour apprendre à aimer les écureuils?» est une épopée dystopique et apocalyptique sur la fragilité humaine et surtout, sur notre rapport à notre propre mortalité. Alors qu’il ne reste que 60 minutes avant la fin du monde, cinq personnages colorés et parfaitement imparfaits naviguent leur finalité imminente, chacun à leur manière. Quand les codes sociaux astreignants et la quête effrénée du bonheur s’envolent, on peut enfin choisir de faire ce qui nous plaît, de laisser libre cours à nos désirs les plus profonds, sans contraintes. Bref, on fait quoi quand il nous reste juste une heure à vivre? Dans cette pièce tragico-comique, qui allie sincérité poignante et folie absurde, le spectateur est témoin des derniers moments de Lori, qui se buzze aux champignons magiques et s’invente une connexion profonde avec Tite-Fouine, son furet. Y’a aussi Jeanne, une adepte de la non-violence qui aimerait ça dans le fond, aimer ça la violence. Y’a Tom, influenceur et agoraphobe qui n’est pas sorti de chez lui depuis cinq ans. Il cherche le courage de fuir son univers numérique rassurant et d’affronter le monde réel, avant qu’il ne soit trop tard. Y’a Lia, ancienne catholique non-pratiquante qui regrette amèrement son apostasie et qui aimerait beaucoup finir ses jours au Paradis finalement. Et y’a Dave, qui lui attend la fin avec exaltation en mangeant du popcorn extra-beurre. «Y’es-tu trop tard pour apprendre à aimer les écureuils?» c’est une histoire de fin, mais aussi une grande histoire de vie. Parce que quand il n’y a plus de lendemain, on peut enfin commencer à vivre.

FRASER
Ernie Fraser is a professional fiddler and guitarist from Cape Breton Island. He began his musical career as a guitarist specializing in Blues, R&B and Jazz. Later, he developed a keen interest in fiddling, particularly that of Cape Breton.
Ernie was a top ten finalist for the 2021 Canadian Grand Masters’ Fiddling Competition. He was heavily involved with the Ottawa Traditional Fiddling and Folk Art Society for many years. Ernie is a sought after performer to play for local Cape Breton dances, typically hosted by the Cape Breton Club of Ottawa and Watson’s Mill in Manotick. His CD, entitled Cape Breton Tributes, is distributed by a number of organizations. Ernie’s website is https://erniefraser.ca.
Ernie is joined by Marietta Fraser, a multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, fiddle and banjo), and by Diane Fraser on bodhran and vocals. Together, they are called FRASER, and they have performed around the Ottawa and Gatineau area; most recently at Hogman-Eh! 2024 and Robbie Burns Day events hosted by the Scottish Society of Ottawa, the Almonte Celtfest (2018 and 2022), and St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, as well as private events.

Alexis MacIsaac and Calum MacKenzie are a wife and husband duo who have established a unique musical partnership that combines Cape Breton piano playing with a modern approach to Celtic fiddle. While Calum’s musical approach has been heavily influenced by his Hebridean roots and his native Cape Breton culture, Alexis’ playing is a multi-faceted harmonization of Irish, Scottish, and Cape Breton styles.
Though their respective approaches to music are distinct, together they create a clean and seamless sound that is nonetheless grounded in tradition. As a fiddle player, Alexis has performed throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United Arab Emirates with acts such as Riverdance, The High Kings, and The Paperboys, while Calum has been fortunate to play with, and accompany, many local Cape Breton artists and international musicians both at home and abroad in the Caribbean and in Scotland on piano and fiddle.
Their debut album, The Bay Street Sessions, is a compilation of original and traditional compositions and arrangements, and secured them a 2017 Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for traditional instrumental group of the year and a 2018 East Coast Music Awards Nomination for Roots/Traditional Recording of the Year. The album is infused with centuries-old feeling and contemporary flair: their mutual love for music articulated in each note and phrase from bow to key.

The interesting parts of our stories aren’t the famous people we meet… 
Or the times when everything is basically working. Or when we get to lay in comfort with a partner watching Netflix and the world go by. The interesting parts are when all those things break down and you’re left in isolation to finally deal with the roots of whatever had been thwarting your existence all along. The interesting parts are when the world has turned its back on you and you have turned your back on it or them. When darkness could seemingly swallow you whole if it hasn’t already. When there is no such thing as hope and so you manufacture it from a dream which only angle is to survive.  
If all this sounds dramatic then you haven’t been there yet. If it doesn’t then you know that this is actually an understatement. The interesting parts of our stories are when they seem like the final chapter has been read and the book thrown in the fire. The interesting parts of our stories are written with the smoke of our burnt out lives.  
Come Back World is an album about rebirth and survival. At least that’s what it means to me. The title track I wrote in a little town on my way to aspen on a tour celebrating the 15th anniversary of Redemption’s Son. I was alone touring in a rented car driving myself across the country as a support act and doing what I could to rebuild my career. New management, eviction notices, an injured shoulder and most importantly estrangement from my family of origin. Discovering newly that my life and my soul had been ravaged for the most part covert forms of emotional abuse know. Commonly as NPD. The discovery of which is commonly followed by extreme isolation, PTSD, and the realization that nearly everything in your life needs to be built again.  
I realize this is an intense way to start a bio about a new album but there really is no other way to paint the story of how this album came to be if I want it to be anything resembling the truth.  
Because for me this album is all about surviving that predicament which for those unfamiliar with it will perhaps sound like madness (which it is ironically designed too) and for those that know about it and those that have survived it, will know that one can do little else but focus on the rebuilding, the bringing back of your world.  
Herman Hesse said the best art comes from necessity and this art certainly qualifies. I had nothing but songs to get me out of the hole I was in.  
The songs themselves aren’t all literal interpretations of what I was going through but the strength of them comes from the fact that I needed them to be good enough to deliver some kind of life back too me. A life I had lost that wasn’t gonna get found. But perhaps a new life could be built. A better one. One that wasn’t rooted in lies.  – JA

Over the last three decades, singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer Gary Louris has built a deeply compelling body of music whose artistry and integrity has won the loyalty of an international audience and the respect of both critics and his peers. Best known for his seminal work with The Jayhawks, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians to come out of Minnesota’s vibrant rock scene.
Concurrent with his time in the Jayhawks, Louris has been a charter member of the part-time alt-rock supergroup Golden Smog, which at various times has included members of Soul Asylum, Wilco, the Replacements and Big Star. Louris also formed Au Pair with North Carolina artist Django Haskins in 2015 and released an album that same year.
Along the way Louris has produced records by various artists, contributed songs to Grammy Award-winning albums by the Tedeschi/Trucks Band and The Dixie Chicks&semi and recorded with acts as diverse as the Black Crowes, Counting Crows, Uncle Tupelo, Joe Henry, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, Roger McGuinn, Maria McKee, Nickel Creek, Carrie Rodriguez, Tift Merritt and the Wallflowers.
Louris released his first solo album, Vagabonds, in 2008. His long awaited 2nd solo album, Jump For Joy, came out in the summer of 2021. In January 2021, Louris launched a Patreon page, featuring weekly posts of new and old music, video content, commentary and more.
In the summer of 2024, Louris announced on his Patreon that his 3rd solo album would be released in early 2025. A formal announcement is forthcoming.
Along with keeping the Jayhawks flame burning, Louris is currently looking to the future and is busier than ever – writing, performing, producing and exploring new collaborative opportunities.

For one night only, Nova Scotian songwriter Terra Spencer takes the Red Bird stage on April 24 with a collection of unheard tunes, oddities, crowd favourites, and questionable experiments - and, as always, the stories within and behind them all.
Bad ideas, VCRs, crumbling factories, terrible therapists, hairy dogs, wrinkled shirts, French fries, questionable tattoos...all are fair game for Terra. And the songs are good ones, judging from the acclaim her four albums have received, and from the caliber of her collaborators, which include David Francey, Ben Caplan, and Matt Andersen.
Although her butterscotch voice, deft fingerstyle guitar, and gospel-charged piano make her a formidable musician, it's her onstage ease and crackling wit that make each show feel like a knee-to-knee conversation in a room of 5 or 500.
Don’t miss this memorable evening, with some moments she might hope you’ll forget…or at least keep Off the Record!
 

Terra Spencer - Off the Record
