Matthew Joel Band

Hailing from the beautiful British Columbia, currently living in Regina Sask., Matthew Joel plays a pleasant blend of pop and folk from an extremely honest and no-tricks perspective. Ever since his first release "The Matthew Joel EP" he has put forward a Bob Dylan, Album leaf, and Patrick Watson inspired collection of music unabashedly conglomerating these artists vibes in to something all his own. At the end of 2009 Matthew released his first full length record, pushing his personal envelope and truly constructing a record to be proud of. A relatively new artist, Matthew sits on the fringe of the Canadian music scene, stoked for the music, and hoping for opportunity.

Joshua Hyslop

Joshua is a modern folk musician, an amalgam of influence in the classically romantic tradition of Damien Rice, Ryan Adams, Iron and Wine, and Sufjan Stevens. Like the said ballyhooed folksters before him, Joshua is inspired to write largely as a result of the people and relationships surrounding him, while also subjecting his songs to his own vulnerabilities, doubts, and conflicts. He integrates these revelations with his agenda of lyrical candidness, creating an expressive and open artform. With all of Joshua's ability and potential, what really sets him apart is his faultless abililty in the live venue. Considering the indiosyncratic confluence of ability he boasts, it is fair to say that Joshua spins a web of charm that makes him inimitabley great.
