Dave Gunning Duo (NS)

Dave is best defined as a master craftsman. Over the course of 23 years and 11 albums, the Nova Scotian folk singer/songwriter has diligently sharpened his skills, developing into a poetic storyteller and emotionally convincing singer with few equals. Along with richly-deserved peer respect, Dave Gunning has earned a shelf full of music industry honours—currently eight East Coast Music Awards, two Canadian Folk Music Awards, plus a 2012 Juno nomination.

The Small Glories (MB)

Roots powerhouse duo The Small Glories are Cara Luft & JD Edwards, a musical tour-de-force planted on the Canadian Prairies. Thrown together purely by accident at Winnipeg’s venerable West End Cultural Centre, The Small Glories could almost make you believe in fate. With a stage banter striking a unique balance between slapstick and sermon, these veteran singer-songwriters have a way of making time disappear, rooms shrink, and their audiences feel as if they are right there with them on stage.

Tom Russell (TX)

America singer songwriter, Tom Russell has recorded 35 highly acclaimed records, and published 5 books, including a book on his art and a book of his songs. Russell’s songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Doug Sahm, Nanci Griffith, kd Lang, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Ian Tyson, Iris Dement, Joe Ely, and a hundred others. “Tom Russell is Johnny Cash, Jim Harrison and Charles Bukowski rolled into one…writing out of the wounded heart of America.” Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Shaye Zadravic Trio (AB)

Shaye is a throwback to the era when great singers lent their voices to the best material and built their careers on the backs of these great songs. To see and hear Shaye in concert is (as one noted radio personality commented) “like listening to the greatest radio show you ever heard”. Subtle and graceful she sings Bobby Darrin to Lynn Miles to Chip Taylor with an ease and comfort that washes over the listener.
