Crystalena is a playful Canadiana twist with deep soulful roots, she takes listeners by surprise in fusing experimental rock with lush neo-soul grooves. She outspokenly wears her heart on her sleeve while and her voice is rumoured to be soaked in honey. Crystalena’s fiery but melancholic lyrics look to address complex topics in social issues. She welcomes the celebrating and reign of a woman's self-empowerment as she brings listeners on stirring, psychedelic soundscapes within her enamoured piano. Playing two upcomng shows!

https://www.facebook.com/events/460258991239258/ https://nac-cna.ca/en/event/23509 Celebrating 10 Years of Music aboard Via Rail Music from the Red Bar Car Friday, December 20th at the NAC Fourth Stage, tickets $28 Featuring: Tragedy Ann: www.tragedyannmusic.com (Guelph) Moonfruits :www.moonfruits.ca/ (Ottawa) Dirty Sheep: www.dirtysheep.band (Ottawa) and a little surprise guest appearance by Sarah Osborne (BC) The Canada Via Music Project (CVM) and Redleaf Music are throwing a party to celebrate a decade of live music aboard VIA Rail. For the last 10 years, VIA Rail has been quietly supporting Canadian musicians through their Artist on Board program, making it possible for musicians to travel this vast land in exchange for a peek inside their suitcase full of songs. Music from the Red Bar Car celebrates a decade of Via Rail's on-board entertainment program. Join us for an evening of songs and stories, aptly named after the recreation car where passengers and musicians gather as they travel by rail between Montreal and Halifax. A musical sampler of sorts, the evening will feature three sets of Canadian troubadours who bring a unique approach to the roll and ruckus of performing on a train. Engaging storytellers and accomplished musicians, each act brings the audience along for the ride. Proceeds from a limited edition poster sales will raise funds for ArtsCan Circle, a charity dedicated to supporting the arts among Indigenous youth in northern communities |

| The Last Thing Tragedy Ann - Matches
|
| https://tragedyannmusic.bandcamp.com/track/the-last-thing-2
https://tragedyannmusic.com/ Tragedy Ann is a forward-looking folk duo from Guelph, Ontario. With intimacy and care, Liv Cazzola & Braden Phelan favour a flashlight over a spotlight in songs for community, nature, and hardworking hospital staff. Braiding organic vocal harmonies with accordion, singing saw, guitars, and ukulele, Tragedy Ann’s arrangements are as delicate as they are driving. Their sounds and stories were most recently captured on September 2018’s release ‘Matches’, garnering them two ‘Songs from the Heart’ songwriting awards (Folk Music Ontario), national folk/roots radio charting, and syndication on CBC Radio and Stingray Music. Regularly touring across Canada (and, shortly, in Europe and the USA), Tragedy Ann concerts emanate “..the honesty and enthusiasm of people who can’t help but create and perform.” (Jon Farmer, Georgian Bay Roots). |

| Hitchhiker (For Ida) Will Moor - s/t
|
| Hitchhiker (For Ida) by Will Moor, the first single for this new duo project
Will Moor is the creative collaboration of Shawn William Clarke & David Gluck, born of their mutual love of ambient music and marks their first creative collaboration as co-writers and creators. Their first record under the moniker Will Moor was recorded at Curries Music, and created from scratch in the studio using an array of mostly acoustic instruments. “We talked a lot about what we were listening to, and how we'd want to approach making this sort of music ourselves. I'd been listening to a lot of Ambient / New Age music, but was also drawn to the more organic sounds of Penguin Cafe Orchestra & Nils Frahm. We decided to spend a lot of time discussing it then go in and create the music on site. I thought it worked very well. I think we were able to draw from each others strengths” David Gluck emerged from the New York music scene with the release of his first solo album “I Don't Know How To Live Here When You're Mine” (2003). In 2006 he embarked on a collaborative project of setting traditional hindu chants in modern settings. “Sounds Of She” was warmly received in both the yoga and New Age music scenes and marked David's first experience working with Toronto-based muscians. In 2011, David moved to Toronto where he met Shawn William Clarke. The two began working together shortly there after with David playing bass in Shawn's band and on his records. Shawn William Clarke is a Canadian indie-folk songwriter, twice nominated as Songwriter of the Year in NOW magazine and recent winner of the Songs From The Heart Songwriting award, presented by Folk Music Ontario. His last solo album release, TOPAZ, was inspired by 80's Gordon Lightfoot, Kenny Buttrey's drumming on Neil Young's "Harvest"; and the existential dilemma's we faced in modern times. |
