  • Aidan Knight (Victoria) Pop, Soul

    Until recently, Aidan Knight was known as a helpful backing musician, playing everything from pop-rock bass lines to violent, pounding hardcore drums. He has recorded and performed with Maurice, The Zolas, and Counting Heartbeats amongst others. All the while, he was writing songs of his own, recording in intensive three day bursts whenever he was able to raise enough money. Sleeping on the studio floor at Buena Vista Audio, Knight immersed himself in the project, waking up to play most of...

  • Celeste Lovick (Victoria) Acoustic, Folk, Soul

    I was born on the west coast of Canada in 1977, and have always loved to sing. At age 16, I was given my first guitar and inspired by artists like Tracy Chapman and the Beatles, I began to write my own songs and to perform them down at the Inner Harbour in Victoria.

Songs that made musicians like Corb Lund, Geoff Berner and Neko Case learn them, play them and love them. Lang has performed them all around Canada from Halifax to Tuktoyuktuk to his adopted...

    A hidden gem in the singer/songwriter scene by the name of Satnam Minhas, but known to most as My Lovely Son. A clandestine musician by nature, Minhas has developed a style of songwriting that attempts to wrench at the listeners heartstrings while painting a melodic picture with his warm, reposeful voice.
