KJ & Jim met in Ottawa in 2017, and quickly realised their life's paths had finally taken the best turn yet.. the turn to each other! Brought together to play with other musicians, KJ & Jim's own musical journey had begun, and they soon decided to start their own project... Tulips & Devilships. With sweet, introspective & occasionally quirky tunes, vocals drive the Tulips & Devilships sound. You'll hear a variety of instruments at a T&D show including piano, guitar, ukulele & harmonica to name a few. T&D really love playing to an audience, and a lot of feedback speaks to how "fun" they are. With Tulips & Devilships being both musical partners and Life partners, their Love shines through their music both in their original songs, and in their choice of covers. Playing TWICE at Marvest!

For You Mack & Ben - . |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=121&v=QVC6m9MObIc
At the tender ages of 2 and 3, siblings Mackenzie and Ben began their musical partnership by yelling and enthusiastically (but terribly) strumming along to the Rankin Family at their Papa’s kitchen table. From there the two only grew closer and more musically in sync. Mackenzie, a Bachelor of Music graduate, brings soulful melodies and sweet, heartfelt lyrics to the group, while the multitalented Ben, pulls beautiful rhythms and complex harmonies out of his guitar, keyboard, and voice, to compliment them perfectly. Joined by a handful of incredible musicians, Mack & Ben is a tight and groovy soul/pop band, that means business. Since their debut show in June 2018, the band has had a fantastic Summer with performances at Ottawa Jazzfest, Ottawa Bluesfest All Star Blues Revue, and Westboro Fuse Festival, and have now taken to the studio to record their debut release scheduled for Fall 2019. Playing at Marvest!
