Description en anglais seulement

Dara Weiss
Bluegrass / Country / Folk

Founders of Montreal’s only Sacred Harp Singing group will be teaming up for a special performance to play selections from their diverse folk and bluegrass repertoire.

Jerry Leger
Folk / Rock / Country

"A Canadian songwriting legend in the making" -Jason Schneider, The Record

"One of the best songwriters I've heard in quite some time." -Ron Sexsmith

"Leger's lyrics are imaginative, fusing folk and country elements seamlessly. He has flown a little under the Canadian roots scene radar, but has earned the respect of such peers as Ron Sexsmith, Fred Eaglesmith and Jim Lauderdale. At 25, Leger clearly has a bright future ahead of him." -Kerry Doole, Exclaim!

CAB
Alt-Country / Blues

Led by singer, guitarist and songwriter Charles A. Barrington, Montreal rootsy country blues band Cab proffer their second EP in as many years, and it's won me over entirely. Mastery of their genre is complemented by superb production from Jason Kent, which results in a highly listenable, albeit brief, collection of five songs. It's not an exaggeration to say that Cab's mature, raw and bitterly honest songwriting and musical textures rival those of heavyweights and peers such as Grateful Dead or early '70s-era Rolling Stones, while Barrington's voice continues to remind me mostly of Black Crowes' Chris Robinson.
