Silla and Rise - Galactic Gala Canadian
Silla and Rise blend Inuit throat-singing and futuristic dancefloor beats.

Silla are Cynthia Pitsiulak (Kimmirut, NU) and Charlotte Qamaniq (Iglulik, NU) their name comes from the Inuktitut word 'Sila' meaning weather. Sila is what surrounds us; it is what connects us to our land, to the moon, sun and stars, the ocean and the air we breathe. In respecting and honouring the need to preserve Inuit culture and paying homage to our land and the strong connection to its spirituality, they experience and perform the sounds of traditional and contemporary throat songs.

Rise is Ottawa’s Rise Ashen, a Juno Award nominated global-grooves producer, DJ and dancer who has spent his life pursuing the intersection of traditional and futuristic music.

Libby & Cal - Our Lady of Perpetual Hammer Canadian New
INTERVIEW with Libby Hortop & Cal Tranner! They’ve combined their music powers for a debut album called “Our Lady of Perpetual Hammer”! Just how metal is Autoharp combined with a 12 string? Tune in to find out!

In 2014, Libby Hortop bought an autoharp off Kijiji on a whim and began writing songs in the simplest, most uninhibited way possible. When she teamed up with seasoned guitarist and singer Cal Tranner, Libby & Cal was born. Their jangly strings and smooth vocal harmonies combine to create a unique but accessible sound. They have performed at Kaffé 1820, Roxham Woolgathering, Art House, and Pressed.

Raphael Weinroth-Browne - Worlds Within Live Canadian New
Raphael Weinroth-Browne (The Visit, Musk Ox, Kamancello) channels the energy and intensity of a full metal band with his solo cello performances. His highly virtuosic compositions evoke a sound world that is at once ancient and modern, all the while redefining expectations of how the, cello should sound.
