Bucky Barrow - Another Year Wasted Canadian New
NEW LOCAL MUSIC!

Bio:
Bucky Barrow, (known to police as Rob Snasdell-Taylor), has been on the run, busking around town and evading the authorities. Bucky has been playing in the local underground music scene since the early 90's, as well as touring in bands across Canada, in a stream of well orchestrated and planned out shows. Further proving he is one (good) tough act to follow.

Fred Pellerin - s/t Canadian
La lurette en colère
Fred Pellerin - s/t Canadian
Bio:
Diplômé en littérature à l'Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, fils de comptable agréé, il est devenu «conteur agréable par mégarde» après avoir été bercé par les histoires de sa grand-mère, de son voisin Eugène et de son père.

Les histoires de Fred Pellerin sont celles de son village: Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, petit village québécois de la Mauricie, «où les lutins et les fées s’écrasent dans les pare-brises le soir». Anecdotes, potins, rumeurs passent à la moulinette de Fred Pellerin pour en ressortir sous forme de contes pour adultes.

La frontière entre réalité et imaginaire est ténue et toute ressemblance avec des personnages ayant réellement existé n’est pas fortuite. Et la force de ce formidable bonimenteur est, sans être démagogique, de nous raconter des histoires… toujours vraies! Fred Pellerin met des enjoliveurs à la surréaliste banalité, brasse notre mémoire collective par ses acrobaties verbales.

Fred Pellerin, figure emblématique du conte au Québec, s’est aussi illustré au-delà de nos frontières avec plus de 3000 représentations professionnelles au sein de la francophonie mondiale.

Fairytale
Wayfie - s/t Canadian New
NEW CANUCK MUSIC


Bio:
Over the past 8 years, Wayfie has been working with talented artists in Canada and
abroad - developing his career from the bedroom. At only 22 years of age, Wayfie is an
extraordinarily talented multi-instrumentalist, songwriter (winner of Music BC’s Canadian
Songwriting Challenge 2020), producer, and audio engineer.
It all started with nearly getting trapped in Paris during a global pandemic. “By the
time 2020 arrived, I no longer felt a sense of purpose doing what I had once claimed to love. I
decided to finally stop, drop, and get lost across Europe with my girlfriend. It took getting
stuck in hotel rooms for me to realize I wanted to share my story with the rest of the world.”
With the calendar full of releases through 2021, Wayfie promises to deliver incredible
songs with a variety of sounds and different styles of music, all being DIY productions from
beginning to end.

Nadia Sirota - s/t
bio:
Violist Nadia Sirota’s varied career spans solo performances, chamber music, curation, and broadcasting. In all branches of her artistic life she aims to open classical music up to a broader audience. Nadia’s singular sound and expressive execution have served as muse to dozens of composers, including Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner, Missy Mazzoli, Daníel Bjarnason, Judd Greenstein, Marcos Balter, and David Lang.

Nadia won a 2015 Peabody Award, broadcasting’s highest honor, for her podcast Meet the Composer, which deftly profiled some of the most interesting musical thinkers living today. Ms. Sirota also received the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for her work in radio, and Southern Methodist University’s Meadows Prize, awarded to pioneering artists and scholars with an emerging international profile. She sits on the board of directors of Chamber Music America, the national service organization for ensemble music professionals. Nadia received her undergraduate and Master’s degrees from the Juilliard School, where she studied with Heidi Castleman, Misha Amory, and Hsin-Yun Huang.

Hilotrons - s/t Canadian New
NEW LOCAL MUSIC!

Bio:
We are HILOTRONS. Simply just a band, like other bands… but not as good as The Jesus Lizard. We approach music transcending the idea of genre, making musical statements or asking musical questions, accepting the responsibility of growing, learning and evolving as musicians/composers while embracing the absurd, darkness and humour of life. We also super-dig movies and stand up comedy! Never looking for any sort of balance, we try to reflect ALL of this in our music and on our records, delivering high energetic non-stop performances to engage your mind and dance your ass off!
