Tom Russell
Tom Russell truly needs no introduction to Canadian music audiences, especially in the west. His many great songs and commanding stage presence have earned the artist (originally from Los Angeles) a large and loyal following in this part of the country. In the Americana Roots music world, Russell is truly a legend.
Phyllis Sinclair
Phyllis Sinclair is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter and a ‘socially conscious balladeer’, says UK’s Maverick Magazine who coined her “The Lady of Conviction”. Sinclair’s writing is rich in imagery, a continuation of the story-telling tradition of her Cree culture. Her songs are highly influenced by her experience being raised in Winnipeg’s inner city in a working-class family.
