While it’s undeniable that AHI’s voice could easily steal any show, he has learned to harness his instrument’s power by balancing its range across a colourful landscape of tightly-crafted lyrics, driving rhythms, and catchy melodies. His first album, We Made It Through The Wreckage (2016) broke the Billboard Spotify charts and landed him on NPR’s Tiny Desk, while his second In Our Time (2018) debuted at #2 on iTunes, and skyrocketed to #1 on Amazon after AHI’s captivating live performance on CBS, ultimately earning him the distinction of Folk Music Ontario/ACTRA-RACS Recording Artist of the Year; high praise from Billboard, American Songwriter, SiriusXM, and more; a sold-out US tour with platinum artist Lauren Daigle; 6 places on the 2018 GRAMMY ballot, including Album of the Year, Best Americana Album, and Best American Roots Song and Performance; and his first-ever JUNO Award nomination in the category of Contemporary Roots Album of the Year, establishing AHI as one of Canada’s most promising new voices.

| Bombe De Flore - L'été ne reste pas
|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
De Flore est l’union indéniable des auteur(e)s compositeur(ice)s interprètes Sarah-Anne LaCombe et Mathieu Gauthier. Natif du même village, aux abords de la rivière des Outaouais, le duo se laisse séduire par le temps qui s’échappe en créant une musique qui tente de saisir l’invisible. Après avoir livré un premier EP (Figure Déserte) ancré dans la nouvelle vague qui emmêle les frontières des genres, le duo passe de l'électro-roots à la chanson dream-pop. Leur dernier single projette une vibe nostalgique aux couleurs pastelles, avec une poésie évasive aux textures velours-fumés. De Flore est une fusion parfaitement sensuelle de pop, psychedelia, disco-funk et lounge.

|
| NEW CANUCK MUSIC!
Who is Jane Inc.? She is CEO and pencil pusher; she is a blank, unknowable Jane Doe, and she is the singular solo project of Carlyn Bezic. Also known as one half of weird-pop duo Ice Cream, one fifth of rock and roll fever dream Darlene Shrugg, and touring member of US Girls band, Bezic has been building a body of work on merging a pop sensibility with off-kilter influences. Jane Inc's debut album, Number One, released with Telephone Explosion on March 19, is an exciting progression of that body of work. The album’s thoughtful production and lush layering of futuristic synths push the quick satisfaction of pop song structure into a hypnotizing work that reveals more of itself with each listen.
