Rosie & The Riveters (SK):Since WWII, Rosie the Riveter has been immortalized as a symbol of strength and power. This is the force that drives and inspires Rosie and the Riveters. They are three fiercely talented women inspired by Rosie, and their compelling performance hosts seductive vocal arrangements, percussion, acoustic instrumentation, scintillating choreography, inviting humour and a whole lot of charm!
Belle Plaine & Blake Berglund (SK):Sweethearts, co-writers, and cribbage opponents, Belle Plaine and Blake Berglund merge their distinct styles: hers, a jazzy 1940s swing approach; his, a classic twang. They are unpredictable, intelligent, and genuine, with chemistry and harmonies that keep eyes on stage and toes tapping. Think Johnny and June, with a touch of Joni.

Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar (ON) :Bubbling up from the cauldron of roots Americana music, Samantha Martin is an artist of extraordinary power, gravitas and deep-seated emotion. A favourite of folk music festivals, Martin has been heard across Canada and the United States, garnering praise from critics and fellow musicians alike as having a voice that stops people in their tracks and a presence that is gritty, playful, sexy and 100% real.
Five Time Maple Blues Award Nominees!
Coyote Moon opens.
Madison Violet (ON) :If the Indigo Girls and Lucinda Williams had a love child (or two), and they were Canadian, they would be Madison Violet.

Tom Phillips Band opens.
Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys (PE) :Hailing happily from the Maritmes, Gordie and the boys live show is exhilarating, engaging their audience with jaw-dropping showmanship and stagecraft.

John is known for his unique take on the simple day-to-day dramas of common folk through songs that map the landscapes of both the human heart and this vast continent of ours. He is joined by his great support group on fiddle, bass and dobro.
