Paragon Cause - Autopilot Canadian New
There are few bands that can conjure up vivid images as well as emotions through the medium of their music. Paragon Cause, Ottawa’s burgeoning ethereal electro-rock sensation, is one of those rare amalgams of talent who can tug on heartstrings, make one think deeply or simply enjoy a sophisticated yet universally accessible musical experience.

AN INTERVIEW with forward-focused-folkies Tragedy Ann! They’ve got a brand new album, and no less than THREE UPCOMING SHOWS near Ottawa: May 11 at La Fab Sur Mill, June 2 at Red Bird, and June 4 at Almonte Town Hall!

With their upcoming album Heirlooms, Liv Cazzola and Braden Phelan issue a call for deeper connection with each other and with the natural world. The answer to this call is reflected both in the collaborative creation process and the meaningful ways in which Heirlooms will be shared. Setting these intentions rooted them and provided the insight needed to nourish the project and create something lasting. Heirlooms is an opportunity to reconnect, share stories and learn.

The album is a follow up to their 2018 release Matches which garnered them two ‘Songs from the Heart’ songwriting awards (Folk Music Ontario), international critical acclaim, Canadian folk/roots radio charting, and syndication on CBC Radio and Stingray Music.

Maurice Moore - s/t Canadian
Switch Up
Maurice Moore - s/t Canadian
Multi-Diamond selling Canadian vocalist, songwriter and producer Maurice Moore made his presence known shortly after he hit the scene in 2015, whether with his own viral singles and mixtape releases or his credits writing songs for the likes of Chris Brown, Justine Skye, H.E.R., Zara Larsson, Kiana Lede, and K Pop royalty EXO & NCT dream. Thanks to his introspective story telling, dynamic vocal delivery, and forward thinking production, Maurice has been greeted with comparisons to a young Usher, Drake, and prolific songwriter James Fauntleroy. As this young star continues to rise, he has rightfully earned the endorsement from tastemakers such as Billboard, The Fader, BET, Earmilk, and Noisey. After show stopping performances at SXSW, on Kehlani’s SweetSexySavage tour, and Ro James/BJ The Chicago Kid “The R&B Tour” he was coined by CBC Canada as “Canadas next R&B Superstar”. His presence and genre bending on projects like “The Amber Room” and “Destination Unknown” has made him one of the most exciting new artists of this generation.
