| https://soundcloud.com/claudemunson-1/saluted-by-the-light-outside
From his Facebook: Ottawa's Claude Munson writes uninhibited impressionist-folk. Whether drenched in crystalline synths or stripped bare, Munson's songs tackle modern life and love with radical intimacy.

| February Gillian Nicola - No Place to Call
|
| https://gilliannicola.bandcamp.com/track/february
From her website: The first thing that strikes listeners about Hamilton’s Gillian Nicola is the strength of her vocals. This rising singer/songwriter ranges from acoustic folk singer-songwriter to textured and electric Americana, and reflects a layering of influences and sounds. Her songwriting captures both autobiographical and outwardly inspired stories surrounded by a rich, folk-Americana musical landscape that is anchored on authenticity and honesty. After multiple tours supporting her 2016 EP, No Place to Call, Nicola spent early 2018 at the Alberta’s Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity composing her full-length debut, set for release later this year. Playing on Thursday at Backdrop! Gillian Nicola Thursday, August 9, 2018 Backdrop Restaurant & Bar 160 Metcalfe Street 8 PM Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/258711171382165/ |

| https://mosely.bandcamp.com/track/tear-it-up
From their website: Mosely’s “Echoes” is the highly anticipated follow up to their self-titled EP.

They’re the featured act at the Live! On Elgin Open Mic night Live! On Elgin Open Mic - Featuring Mosely Tuesday, August 7, 2018 Live!

| Darkness Never Stays Taylor Angus - Darkness Never Stays
|
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q5F63KrJWg
From her website: The first thing that grabs you is the voice. Crisp yet emotive and utterly indifferent to gravity, it glides then soars over a deceptively simple foundation of guitar and piano alternately conjuring jazzy pop and poppy jazz with a smidge of folk that’s utterly unlike anything you’ve heard before but something you instantly want to hear again. This is the music of Taylor Angus, the fast-emerging duo featuring namesake singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Angus and her partner, guitarist/songwriter Logan Brown. Playing on Friday in Orleans! Taylor Angus at Stray Dog Brewery Friday, August 10, 2018 501 Lacolle Way, Orleans 7:00 PM $5 Cover |
