| Denton, TX Lake Urmia - Wine Time
|
| https://lakeurmia.bandcamp.com/track/denton-tx-2
In (Ottawa-based) Lake Urmia, Elsa Mirzaei and Kat Pavelic make sad songs to dance to. Tangled in hypnotic synth tones and a tug between the East and the West, the band's careless and catastrophic moods unearth sequences of day-dreams, diaspora, and queer identity. |
| Spell Tyler Kealey - s/t
|
| https://www.tylerkealey.com/music
Spell was recorded in 2018 with Eric Eggleston of Johnny Hall Productions in Ottawa as part of an upcoming album. As one half of a dueling pianos show, his energy, talent, and story-telling ability have made him a favourite within the Ottawa music scene. Drawing from his piano-pop influences, Tyler has crafted an original sound that walks a fine balance between good pop sensibility and untamed, free adventure in his music. |

| As a solo dance artist and choreographer from Ottawa Artin Avaznia is defying the conventional description of a dancer and introducing an uncommon perspective. With his visuals and live performances, he intends to give the art form a more foreground and creative representation.
Artin will be performing at 8:40 pm on June 8th on the Thom Fountain Team main stage! |
| Proud Bad Parent(s) Chris Morrissy, Lisa Georges, Andrea Morrissy, Rusty Martin and Neal Phandis will make their Westfest debut this summer.
Thom Fountain Main Stage in Hintonburg on Sunday, June 10 Bad Parent members haven’t ruled out composing their own music in the future but for now they prefer to cover indie rock artists like Detroit Cobras, The Babies and Lord Huron in addition to more mainstream songs by The Rolling Stones, Wilco, and Sheryl Crow. |
| What Becomes of the Broken Hearted Leonard Sumner - Rez Poetry
|
| http://www.leonardsumner.com/music/
Leonard Sumner Anishinaabe MC, singer, and songwriter, Leonard Sumner's storytelling flows directly from the shores of Little Saskatchewan First Nation, located in the heart of the Interlake of Manitoba. Sumner's self-determined sound is evidence of his ability to simultaneously occupy landscapes of multiple musical genres including Hip-Hop, Spoken Word, Country, and Rhythm and Blues. With every vibration of the strings on his guitar, Leonard rattles the dust off truths that have been buried for far too long, while on stage he sings awake the consciousness of audiences who may have been unaware of their slumber. In this era of unsettling history and healing wounds of the past, Sumner's music is an incredible expression of medicine, that walks the line between fortitude and fragility. On the Thom Fountain Team stage on June 8th! |
