Bad ideas, VCRs, crumbling factories, terrible therapists, hairy dogs, wrinkled shirts, French fries, questionable tattoos...all are fair game for Nova Scotian funeral director-turned-songwriter Terra Spencer. And the songs are good ones, judging from the stack of awards her three albums have received and from the caliber of her cohorts. They include Dave Gunning, Matt Andersen, and tourmate David Francey, who welcomed Terra as a co-writer and performer on his JUNO-winning album The Breath Between. 
In September 2024, Terra will follow up Old News, her acclaimed collaboration with Ben Caplan, with a new 12-song solo album called Sunset. 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, where you’ll snort, you’ll blush, you’ll weep.
Equal parts “songwriter’s songwriter” and crowd charmer - is she the Canadian Carole King? “The real deal.” - Ron Sexsmith

Gathering Sparks
Winner, Folk Music Ontario 2019 “Songs From the Heart” Award
Singer-Songwriter “All That’s Real" #7 on Folk Alliance International Folk DJ chart, October 2019
Nominated Canadian Folk Music Award 2014 "Vocal Group of the Year”
You will come to listen, and walk away singing. GATHERING SPARKS is the graceful collision of Eve Goldberg and Jane Lewis—musical friends who blend tight harmonies, finely crafted songs, and a love of participatory singing to create an intimate and uplifting experience. Their inclusive approach embraces folk, pop, blues and gospel influences tastefully played on acoustic guitar, piano, accordion, and ukulele.With their infectious mix of styles and compelling vocal blend, Gathering Sparks has been making some big waves. Their debut 6-song CD was nominated for a 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, and they have become an audience favourite. Whether they are belting it out a capella style, tugging on your heartstrings with a folky original, crooning a jazzy swing tune, or getting into the spirit with a gospel-inflected singalong, Gathering Sparks performances make fans out of listeners with their stellar harmonies and fine musicianship. Their latest album “All That’s Real” was released on Borealis Records in September 2019. The lead-off song from the album, “Bringing in the Light,” was recognized with a 2019 Folk Music Ontario “Songs From the Heart” Award, singer-songwriter category. The album was also in the top ten of the Folk Alliance International Folk DJ chart for October and November 2019, and “Bringing in the Light” was the #1 song on the Folk DJ chart for the month of December 2019. The album ended up on several radio hosts’ “best of” lists for 2019.GATHERING SPARKS "ALL THAT’S REAL"Gathering Sparks' latest album “All That’s Real” blends finely crafted songs, transcendent vocals, stellar musicianship on guitar, keyboard, ukulele, and accordion, and compelling stories into a potent balm for troubled times. In times that cry out for love over hate, “All That’s Real” delivers.Writing together for the first time, band members Eve Goldberg & Jane Lewis combined their love of word play, strong melodies, and harmony singing to create 11 new songs (plus one cover of a Pete Townshend classic) that will take you on a journey from hopeful, to thoughtful, to joyful and back again.Produced by Jeff Bird (Cowboy Junkies), the album includes guest appearances from Cheryl Prashker (percussion), Anne Lindsay (fiddle), Joel Schwartz (guitar), Kevin Breit (guitar), and a host of harmony singers.QUOTES"The seasoned Canadian duo of Eve Goldberg and Jane Lewis compose great songs individually and together as well as deftly interpreting covers. What stands out about this album beyond its good voices with pleasing harmonies is its positive attitude. In an era of depressing songs there are several uplifting songs about politics and love performed with energy, vitality and sincerity. There's a great deal of depth in the material and performance embodied in this album….their duo has perfectly jelled with this recording.”— Rich Warren, WFMT "The Midnight Special” Favorites of 2019 List  http://midnightspecial.org/favorites2019.htm“A formidable duo.” — Pat Langston, Penguin Eggs Magazine (feature, Winter 2019)"Gathering Sparks brings level of musical skill and spontaneity to their songs onstage that is rare and welcome. Their sophisticated, intertwining harmonies complement finely crafted lyrics. Each song is fresh, taking the audience on new journeys and adventures. We were pleased to host their appearance in early 2019 and eagerly await their return.”— Mike and Lorraine Messitt, The Anchor Coffee House, Lewes, DE"Plumbing the depths of gospel, folk, and singer-songwriter traditions with talent and grace makes Gathering Sparks one of the most entertaining [acts] our audience has seen. They couldn't stop raving about them.” — Bob LeDrew, BobCat House Concerts, Ottawa

(Acoustic Guitar). Aside from the hilarious triumph of funding his previous project, double-album Paper Nickels, with Canadian Tire money, Raymond enjoys a second career performing his non-musical, one-man shows Bookworm (2011) and The Great Canadian Tire Money Caper (2014), which he has toured extensively to over a dozen Fringe and literary festivals, and to theatres in three countries. "Raymond has impeccable timing, and his performance is at once intimate, openhearted, and evangelical." (The Georgia St

James Gordon has been there. He’s done that. He has had a remarkably diverse and resilient career in the Canadian cultural sector. As a solo singer-songwriter and with the ground-breaking trio Tamarack, he’s recorded 42 albums and toured relentlessly around the world. He’s written for symphony orchestras, musical theatre and dance works, scored films, and for more than ten years was heard on CBC radio as songwriter-in-residence for the ’Basic Black’ and ‘Ontario Morning’ programs. Between tours, James is a record producer, playwright, community activist, theatre director and he was a Guelph City Councillor for eight years.  
After a long break because of you-know-what,  Gordon is touring again either solo, as a duo with Katherine Wheatley, or with his band consisting of David Woodhead,  Katherine Wheatley, Anne Lindsay, Ian Bell and Randall Coryell on drums if the situation allows!
 “A remarkable Canadian performer. His body of work is truly original” – Penguin Eggs“A confident artist with important things on his mind.” – Toronto Star “Rootsy sound, strong songs, with a poet’s eye for telling details and a picket-line singer’s passion.” – Sing Out Magazine “Der Kanadier James Gordon ist so etwas wie die graue Eminenz der kanadischen Songwriter-Szene.” (“James Gordon is the Eminem of the Canadian Songwriter scene”) – A Fan in Germany
Selected Achievements 
*Wrote ‘Frobisher Bay’, which has been covered by over one hundred artists world-wide and many choirs. 
*His classic song ‘Mining for Gold’ was included in the John Sayles film Silver City and was recorded by Cowboy Junkies on their breakout album The Trinity Session. 
*Released children’s music album No Grownups Allowed, which went gold with 50,000 copies sold. 
*Well known for his songs about social justice, heritage and environmental issues, he toured for two years with his hugely successful political theatre piece Stephen Harper: The Musical. (It worked. You’re welcome.), and has more recently been virtually offering his one-man multi-media production "James Gordon's Emergency Climate Musical".
*Gordon has produced albums for many Canadian folk artists, and his popular ‘Rhyme Capsules' songwriting-in-the-schools project has resulted in over two dozen recorded collections of songs by young composers. 
*Created the full-length folk opera ‘Hardscrabble Road’ which debuted live in the fall of 2003. 
* His first novel 'Ark Of The Oven Mitt”, was a finalist in 2022 for the Stephen Leacock Humour Award.  
*His last album “When I Stayed Home” was named #1 in a top ten list from Australia for Green Left Magazine of “Ten New Albums that Protest Against Climate Change” coming in just ahead of Barenaked Ladies and Jackson Browne.
*His viral hit about the so-called 'Freedom Convoy', "Crybabies Caravan" has received more than 300,000 hits on social media and YouTube
*He was Guelph's Artist-in-Residence for 2023
*His newest album ‘Wrinkles and Scars’ is already generating a lot of interest. It's a collaboration with a team Of roots music all-stars: Anne Lindsay, Katherine Wheatley, Ian Bell, Randall Coryell and David Woodhead.

 Join us for an evening  of Celtic Music played by some of the best in the region. There will be a concert from 8pm to 10pm, with a jam to follow, so bring your instruments and get in on the fun.
 
The Carroll Sessions
A blend of traditional and contemporary Irish music energy
Don Fletcher - fiddle
John Henderson - guitar, bouzouki, and vocals
Following the Irish, Cape Breton, Quebecois & Bluegrass styles and attending fiddle contests, many workshops and festivals, Don Fletcher has been part of the Ottawa area fiddle music scene for decades and has been involved with a number of local bands, including The Boxty Band (Irish), Les mots dits Anglais (Quebecois) & The Backslider’s (Bluegrass). Don also teaches fiddle in Stittsville.
John Henderson has a decades long connection with traditional music, as a duo with his partner, Pippa Hall, and in various groups, most recently the folk trio Lost For Words. A singer and multi-instrumentalist on guitar, bouzouki, and clawhammer banjo, he has developed a dynamic accompanying guitar style in Drop D inspired by John Doyle.
Together, they provide a lively repertoire of Irish style fiddle tunes, interspersed with songs and some good humour, influenced mainly by the playing of the great Irish style fiddler, Liz Carroll - thus the name of the duo “The Carroll Sessions”.

Celtic Celebration Featuring The Carroll Sessions

Montreal roots group Sussex launches its third album SHINE Like nothing else you will hear, SHINE is Sussex's third album of genre-defying roots music. Featuring a unique blend of acoustic guitar, vibraphone, pedal steel and upright bass, and two-time CFMA Contemporary Singer of the Year Rob Lutes's soulful vocals on seven well-crafted originals and three gems from the early 20th century, SHINE illuminates a lush sonic landscape with masterful playing and charts an unlikely path right to the heart of American music.Following on the critically acclaimed Parade Day (2016) and The Ocean Wide (2019), Sussex is back with a new sound that touches into multiple genres and at times conjures the melody-driven sounds of Tin Pan Alley. Lutes, a Kerrville New Folk winner and multiple CFMA and Maple Blues Songwriter of the Year nominee, brings his talents for humour and depth and his knack for seductive melodies to bear on a set of memorable songs that look at everything from backyard maples to ocean journeys to meat preferences, telling stories of real life, family and bittersweet love. The show will feature Sussex's founders Lutes and Michael Emenau on acoustic guitar and vibraphone, with special guests Morgan Moore (Barr Brothers, Martha Wainwright, Ranee Lee) on upright bass and Kim Deschamps (Blue Rodeo, Cowboy Junkies) on pedal steel. "...a truly great evening...energy, intricacy, texture, nuance, expressiveness, and power, but all with great subtlety. Suffice to say, a great show."- Thom Meredith, AD, Sainte-Anne Blues Cafe''What this eclectic group came up with is a treat. Lutes rose to the occasion with sophisticated songs that make the most of these instrumental colours. They say they were aiming for a sound that incorporated their early jazz and early blues influences and while these are apparent, they’ve quite clearly moved far beyond that. The combination of Lutes’ songs, his strong vocals and the band arrangements makes this an album to watch for when this year’s ‘best of’ lists come out.''-Toronto Blues Society - Maple Blues Magazine

The Bokonons sing about human folly, alien visitation, societal division, loss and longing, and the pending apocalypse with just a small smattering of tentative hope sprinkled in for good measure. The Bokonons are very psyched as wellto announce that the excellent songwriter and musician Jon Hynes will be getting things going with an opening set.

OttaWassail! A celebration of the season.
Ian Robb, Ann Downey and Shelley Posen are joined by Ian’s JIIG bandmates, James Stephens, Ian Clark and Greg Brown, for an evening of traditional carols and wassails, songs, tunes and stories for the festive season.
Guaranteed to make late December the warmest time of the year!
Ian, Ann, and Shelley—A.K.A. the vocal trio Finest Kind—toured in Canada, the US and UK over a period of 25 years, gaining a loyal following for their unique brand of vocal harmony and eclectic repertoire. After retiring from the road, they continued to perform their very popular annual Christmas show at Wakefield’s Black Sheep Inn, along with the “fourth member of the trio” James Stephens, until the pandemic put a stop to live performance. Ian, Ann, Shelley, and James—along with JIIG members Ian Clark and Greg Brown—resurrected that seasonal magic last year at Red Bird, and are glad to continue the tradition this year with three shows at Red Bird.

With their unique blend of acoustic and electric instruments, Preeper Rhaye MacKay, a folk trio comprised of songbird and Canadian Folk Music Nominee Jessica Rhaye, guitarist Bill Preeper, and multi-instrumentalist Sandy MacKay, deliver lush 3-part harmonies, weaving and sharing lead and harmony parts in elegant, simple arrangements.  

Preeper Rhaye MacKay is a folk trio comprised of songbird and Canadian Folk Music Nominee Jessica Rhaye, Bill Preeper and Sandy Mackay that has been described as a modern Peter Paul and Mary, creating an intricate vocal blend of lush 3-part harmonies and a unique mix of acoustic and electric instruments.  
 
This trio has developed a Maritime Appalachian Folk sound weaving and sharing lead and harmony parts.  It's new folk music at its finest, pulling together inspiration from the likes of Woody Guthrie, Ian Tyson, Bob Dylan, with the trio’s version of Blowin’ in the Wind generating, to date, more than 15 million views on YouTube.
 
“The modern folk trio offered their skills to the famed Dylan track (Blowin’ in the Wind) in a string laden rendition. Rich with golden vocals, acoustics and even a Mandolin, Rhaye, and her group would make Baez and the rest of the ‘60-s decade proud with this heartfelt version.”  
– AMERICAN SONGWRITER MAGAZINE
 
BIO:
Preeper Rhaye MacKay is a folk trio comprised of songbird and Canadian Folk Music Nominee 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. 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, Bob Dylan. This group gets compared to a modern Peter Paul & Mary, creating an intricate vocal blend.
 
WOOD & WIRE, their new album, set for release October 2024, is Preeper Rhaye MacKay's first album as a trio.  It’s a collection of new original works and includes a special cover from the Kate and Anna McGarrigle catalogue that helps defines this trios' provenance.  The album falls on the heals of the members work together with Jessica Rhaye & The Ramshackle Parade on their critically acclaimed albums Just like a Woman - Songs of Bob Dylan (2019), and Sunshine Baby (2023).  
 
The album Wood & Wire was recorded with producer/engineer Dale Murray at the board, who was instrumental in making sure the best performance was captured as the trio performed and sang each song live to record.   
 
“We wanted Wood & Wire to be what we do as a trio.  It’s an album of folk songs with three-part harmonies” says Jessica Rhaye.  “During the recording process we would just play the songs over and over until we all felt like we got the take we wanted.  The most we played one song was seven times.  It was a very natural and refreshing process” continues Rhaye “and we achieved our goal of making a record that could have been written and recorded in the height of the Greenich Village folk scene.”     
 
ABOUT JESSICA RHAYE
Jessica Rhaye is an independent singer-songwriter and graphic design artist with 7 full length albums to her name, including her recent album Sunshine Baby, which garnered glowing buzz from Americana UK, Americana Highways, BBC Radio, Fatea UK, Great Dark Wonder, Sirius XM “North Americana”.  In a career spanning 20 years, Jessica has built an impressive list of accolades including a Canadian Folk Award Nomination and has graced many prestigious stages across Canada including the National Arts Centre, Hugh’s Room, Stan Rogers Folk Festival, Mariposa Folk Festival, Shivering Songs, and has co-written with notable artist like Ron Sexsmith, Steve Poltz, Ken Tobias, and Royal Wood. 
On Wood & Wire Jessica plays acoustic and Nashville high-strung guitars, sounding like a dulcimer. Her clear sweet voice provides the high harmony in the trio and her solid acoustic guitar playing rhythm forms the backbone of the trio’s sound and is responsible for the album’s artwork and promo material.  
ABOUT BILL PREEPER
Bill started playing folk music in the ‘80’s while working a day job at CBC and raising a family with his wife Kathy. In 2015, upon retirement and having more time to concentrate on music, he co-founded Bonnett House leading to the release of the album “Songs From Bonnett House” in 2017. The following year Bill became a member of Jessica Rhaye’s band, The Ramshackle Parade.
 
His delicate finger-picking and use of alternate tunings on guitar are inspired by the traditional and contemporary masters of folk and blues. In the vocal department, Bill shares singing with his bandmates and adds low end in the trio’s harmonies.
 
ABOUT SANDY MACKAY
Over a 40-year musical career, Sandy has toured widely, performed on stages and streets, theatre and session recordings for numerous artists.  
Sandy is a multi-instrumentalist and on Wood & Wire plays double bass, and sometimes adds mandolin and banjo. The double bass adds the bedrock to the trio’s sound, and when the bass gets bowed, brings a deep rich texture to the sound. Sandy sings tenor in the trio’s vocal mix, sometimes trading range with Jessica to reach the high harmonies in old bluegrass style.

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.

“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

An evening with Jeremy Fisher, in which he performs 2 sets. Set 1 will be his 2004 major label debut Let It Shine, cover to cover, in celebration of its 20th anniversary. Set 2 will consist of favourites and requests.

An Evening with Jeremy Fisher

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."
