Pushpa 2: The Rule is a  Telugu-language action drama film directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, in association with Sukumar Writings. The film stars Allu Arjun in the titular role, alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, Dhananjaya, Rao Ramesh, Sunil and Anasuya Bharadwaj.

The only good thing about not shopping in record stores anymore is you won’t have to figure out what genre to look for Danny under. If that were the case, you could try looking under, rock, pop, folk, world or even classical.His own self-described musical A.D.D. has kept his music fresh for decades. Maybe it has something to do with being born next to a candy factory, or his ambidextrous brain, but his thoughtful lyrics & charming performances have earned a devoted fan base, multiple nominations for Junos, The Polaris Prize, CBC’s "Heart Of Gold", and most recently winning the CFMA's "Producer of the year" and "Oliver Schroder Pushing the Boundaries" Awards.
But Danny considers his career highlights to be the unique real life moments like performing for Jane Goodall’s 85th birthday party, touring with Stuart Mclean and working with charities close to his heart.
In 2015, his adventurous spirit took him to the country of Belize where he tracked down one of his favourite Belizean bands&semi The Garifuna Collective (a unique Afro-Amerindian cultural group) and convinced them to create an album together. That album (“Black Birds Are Dancing Over Me”) was called “One of the finest musical works of our time” by Billboard's Larry Leblanc, landed Danny’s 3rd Juno nomination (World Music Album Of The Year), and a sold out summer tour of North America with The Garifuna Collective.While in Belize, Danny also founded the DM Ocean Academy Fund that helps raise scholarships for a small non-profit community high school. To date, Danny & his fans have raised over $125,000.00 for the school.In 2016, Danny returned to Canada to record "Matadora," his most deeply humanist album to date. This ten-song collection explores the environmentalist, pacifist, romanticist, archivist, and space enthusiast in Danny.Then it was off to the Canadian high Arctic where Danny recorded “Khlebnikov” (possibly the most northern album ever recorded/above 80°) aboard the legendary Soviet-era Russian ice-breaker, Kapitan Khlebnikov during an 18-day arctic expedition curated by Astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield. Once home, Danny’s recordings were arranged for brass & strings by film composer Rob Carli. The result is a suite of atmospheric and haunting songs about the Arctic, our planet, and our place in it. When he’s not performing he’s fighting for musicians’ rights, the environment, making short films, producing, running his studio or filming his comedy/sci-fi/music show “Dan’s Space Van”

Shane's fourth album, "Winter Grace" is set to release on January 17th 2025. The new album is Shane's most introspective and intimate work to date. Though written as a 'winter album', the recording has a vintage warmth, with themes of love, loss, and finding hope in a frigid landscape.

Sophie Lukacs is a Budapest born, Montreal based artist, who grew up studying the violin and western classical music. Of Jewish Hungarian descent, she is most inspired by music's power to move and bring people together. She is the grand-daughter of Eva Fahidi, a prominent writer and dancer who survived the Holocaust, and with whom she sang her first Hungarian folk songs.
Sophie begins adulthood studying International Development and Music at McGill University. She travels on an internship to Burkina Faso, where she first discovers the musical culture of the Mandingue tradition, and its majestic instrument: the kora.
This music moves her deeply.  Yet, she can't imagine how to learn the instrument, since the kora is traditionally reserved for men from the "griot" caste. Sophie returns to Montreal to study pre-med, but music is never forgotten. She plays in the McGill orchestra, and listens compulsively to any kora recordings she finds. Finally, she leaves university, moves to New York, and immerses herself in music, dance, literature. One memorable day, riding the subway, Sophie steps out at Columbus circle, and hears the call of the kora. She follows the music and finds kora master Malang Jobarteh playing in the station. It's the sign she has been waiting for. She studies kora in New York and Montreal, then travels to Paris for a masterclass with kora legend Toumani Diabaté. Diabaté invites her to Bamako, she packs, and leaps into the unknown.
For 7 years, in Mali, Sophie devotes herself to the kora and its traditional repertoire. Only after that does she acknowledge the stirring of her own music and stories. With the blessing and encouragement of her many teachers and mentors, including Habib Koité, and Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté, and with profound gratitude for all they have shared with her, Sophie begins to compose her own music on the kora.
Sophie releases her LP "Bamako," in 2023, written and recorded mostly in Mali, featuring two tracks with the legendary Habib Koité. The album is awarded the Global Roots Album of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards, and is praised in SONGLINES journal as a “splendid debut album” with “rich and lyrical” playing. On stage, Sophie performs with cello and percussion and sings in all the languages she speaks: English, French, Hungarian and Bambara. In 2024,  Sophie Lukacs will tour in Canada, US, Europe

Catherine MacLellan has been captivating audiences around the world with her music for over two decades. Born and raised in the idyllic province of Prince Edward Island, Catherine's songs reflect her deep connection to the land and the people that call it home. Her passion for songwriting runs in the family; her father, Gene MacLellan, wrote beloved hits like "Snowbird" and "Put Your Hand in the Hand."
While Catherine's music is rooted in folk and roots, her sound has evolved to embrace a wider range of influences over the course of her 7 albums. From heart-wrenching ballads to uplifting anthems, her music has a universal appeal that speaks to the struggles, triumphs, and joys of life.
In addition to her musical pursuits, Catherine has also dedicated herself to shining a light on her father's legacy, producing an award-winning documentary and stage show that explore his life and struggles with mental health.
Through it all, Catherine remains committed to the craft of songwriting and the art of connection. Whether she's playing to a packed theatre or an intimate gathering, Catherine's warm presence and heartfelt music create an unforgettable experience for all who hear her.
“Catherine MacLellan is a talent in her own right, surrounded by a great supporting band, but the real specialness of this show is that they all possess the maturity to allow themselves to be momentarily subsumed and lifted by Gene MacLellan’s spirit. And that is a special act of generosity well worth witnessing.”— The Guardian, Colm Magner

Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, Lynne Hanson’s brand of porch music with a little red dirt can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. Her hard living music has garnered her the nickname “Canada’s Queen of Americana.” And while her deep, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it’s the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart. Hanson is known for her high energy, roots guitar driven live performances, whether playing solo or with her band the Good Intentions. She has an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming. The two-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner has released nine studio albums along with two books of poetry over her 18 year solo career. She’s toured extensively across North America, Europe and the UK. She has also toured as support for Grammy-nominated artists like Gretchen Peters, Steve Forbert and Albert Lee."Lynne Hanson seems headed for that revered territory inhabited by seasoned songwriters such as Nanci Griffith, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Mary Gauthier or Lucinda Williams." Penguin Eggs

MINOR GOLD – Cosmic Americana Duo 
Based in Australia | Touring Internationally 
Powerhouse Cosmic Americana duo Minor Gold are ARIA nominated and award-winning songwriters & Tracy McNeil (CAN) and Dan Parsons (AUS). Their sound echoes 70’s cosmic Americana with an easy charm and potent honesty, but it is the indeterminate perfection of how these two artists' voices lock in together that hit right where the emotions live inside us. With dynamics ranging from the intense restraint of campfire intimacy through to open throttle abandon, Minor Gold move you - weaving masterful harmonies and deft guitar playing around unforgettable, stripped back performances. 
Since releasing their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album in August 2023, the pair have navigated life on the road without missing a beat. Minor Gold have had a massive 18 months, with highlights including touring North America and Australia twice, official showcases at Folk Alliance International (USA), AmericanaFEST (USA), Folk Music Ontario (CAN) and Your Roots are Showing (IE), major festival appearances and supports for legendary Australian band The Teskey Brothers in the U.S.
Recent winners of the 'Folk Award' in the Queensland Music Awards, Minor Gold's songs have had multiple adds to high rotation on radio in Australia and charted in the Top 10 on the NACC in the U.S. – there is much love for this charmed duo who keep delivering the goods. While touring North America in 2024, the pair took a short break in July to record their sophomore album in Los Angeles with producer Dan Horne (Mapache, Cass McCombs, Circles Around the Sun). Excited by the results, this new music is due for release in early 2025, but not before they tour the UK/EU for the first time in Jan/Feb with an appearance at Strib Winter Festival in Denmark. 
“The pair's real superpower is their melodic vocal interplay and sixth-sense harmonies…Imagine standing at a crossroads, halfway between Laurel Canyon and a sandy palm tree cove. These are the intoxicating sounds you might hear drifting on that summer breeze.” - Chris Familton | Rhythms Magazine

“Doing it the hard way for 20 years,” is a badge Elliott BROOD wear with honour. Two decades on, work, life and love have taken the trio in many directions, away from their hometowns and headfirst into an ongoing musical journey through distance and time. Now, after being members of this band for nearly half of their lives, Elliott BROOD is never more at home than in the wash of distorted, evocative strings and stomps that make their signature alt country sound.   
 
Elliott BROOD appeared on the cover of Exclaim Magazine in 2008 as the new ambassadors of a roots, folk rock and alt country wave that flourished in Toronto’s early aughts. Elliott BROOD’s arrival came with a level of buzz that launched them directly into the heart of a vibrant Toronto scene that centered at label Six Shooter Records, where they have returned to release their newest music. Their live show, a maelstrom of frenetic energy and fuzz, has brought them back and forth across continents countless times on bills The Sadies, Wilco, The Black Crowes, and many more. Their albums, meticulously crafted, detail-packed collections have brought some of Canada’s highest musical honours and awards, including an early Polaris Music Prize Short List and a JUNO Award. 
 
In their twenty years, the band has remained fiercely loyal to their mysterious namesake. The stylized, imaginary character has guided the band’s travels over mountains and meadows, and through the more harrowing sides of history. Over time, Elliott BROOD has also grown into a vessel for the trio’s shared history too, with new songs finding connection and communion in themes that hit much closer to home. Family, fatherhood and finding oneself over again are all part of Elliott BROOD’s story as it is now told.
