| MONTREAL MUSIC!
From their Bio: A love of musical collaboration, Cajun music and travel brought them together. These talented high-energy musicians bridge gaps and draw parallels between the musical genres that inspire their own songwriting. From Guillaume Jabbour’s roots in chansonniers music from Québéc and France, to Bill Collier’s work as a musician collaborating with many of the east coast’s finest singers and songwriters, to Bill Gossage’s musical culture that draws upon deep roots in the Irish fiddle vernacular, and finally to Carl Rufh's bass work with some of Canada's well known blues acts, Jabbour is a contemporary roots band. Having played in various musical projects (Grouyan Gombo, Les Flâneurs, Dave Gossage, La montagne secrète, The Durham County Poets), they combined their creative abilities forming a project focused on original works. Since the launch of Saint Bernard, their latest album, Jabbour has played concerts throughout Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and their songs have been on rotation on Radio Canada, CBC, Sirius XM and on many Quebec radio stations. Playing Friday!

| Gravity Season II - Season II Ep.1
|
| I Knew Better Season II - Season II Ep.1
|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
From their Apt613 writeup: Fresh off the success of their single “Gravity” (which featured in #ottmusic weekly this year), the electro r&b record is a collaboration between Ottawa’s DJ ILLO and vocalist Whitney Delion. Written during the darkest hours of a breakup, a tone of heartbreak is evident in Whitney’s soulful voice and honest writing. But, the breeziness of ILLO’s music offers a safe place to talk about the dark stuff.

| Moonlit Motel Krista Hartman - Transcend
|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
From her bio: With the restless soul of a storytelling traveller, as soon as she graduated high school, Krista Hartman left her town of Peace River, Alberta, and spent the first few years of her music career busking on the streets of Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand. After teaching English in South Korea, she returned to Alberta, Canada, for University, where she further developed her gifts, studying English and Theatre by day, recording and performing songs she wrote by night, making friends and building a loyal following. The inspiration collected from her travels led to her first rustic self-produced Canadiana record, Passport which was recognized in Edmonton’s Vue Weekly Magazine as one of the top ten records of the year. When it was time to tour, she moved to New York, started bartending and toured across several American states. By 2008, Krista relocated to Toronto and began recording her second record, Nostalgia (a record that chronicled the characters she met while touring through the US). She was joined on the first single, “Broken in Two” by Juno Award winning songwriter, Ron Sexsmith. The highlight of her year was performing a bilingual version of The Canadian National Anthem Canada’s Prime Minister at a Gala hosted by The Canada India Foundation. By 2015, she had lived in St. Lucia and Chicago with her young family and ventured to Toronto to record her third record, Constellations- a catalogue of songs devoted to the power of optimism. Since Constellations, Hartman has been busy uncovering the gems that make her craft truly meaningful and aligned. The songs she has written on this record were created shortly after a songwriters retreat on Bowen Island, British Columbia. “Having a balanced mind, body and spirit is the key to a fulfilling creative path” she is convinced.

Btw. you don't see me playing my keyboard, because I don't want to pretend I was nearly as good a musician than Stéphan & Hendrick. Because I'm not. I'm just good at programming stuff.
