Dig deep into your memories of lonely highway diners and jukeboxes playing melancholy love songs. Now taint that with smoky jazz lounges and traveling vaudeville shows and you have the Madman's Gospel - a musical experience that is not to be missed! This dynamic quintet formed in Vancouver, BC in 2009 and their self-titled debut album will be released in October 2010. Taking the lead from landmark Canadian bands such as the New Pornographers and the Cowboy Junkies, the Madman's Gospel employs simple and honest songwriting spiked with contemporary sounds & styles. With lyrics that range from heart wrenching to downright saucy and energetic live performances - even the non-believers will soon be preaching the Madman's Gospel.

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.

Haley K is a singer-songwriter born and raised in Kelowna, BC. She currently resides in Vancouver, BC pursuing her career in music and the arts.
Haley is one of two equally talented sisters, she grew up listening to her Dad play at Kelowna venues and watching her Mom supportively sing along. Even at local gigs her Dad was able to sneak in a rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" just to please his girls. From then on Haley spent most of her childhood exploring the arts. It wasn't always a given that Haley would end up pursuing a career in music. In Grade 10 when Haley auditioned for her high school choir she was told she wasn't ready . . . and not too long ago there was a time when the only opportunity one would have to hear Haley sing was when the lights were out.
Haley is currently working on her debut EP. Look for it's release in 2011.

Christina Maria has spent much of the last two years traveling between cities and continents, playing shows and living without a fixed address. This experience inspired the Vancouver-born singer-songwriter to craft her most focused set of songs yet, which appear on her new album Straight Line. In keeping with Christina Maria's freewheeling lifestyle, she opted to record the songs with five different producers at different studios across Canada, seeking inspiration and growth from each collaborator's unique approach. Her sessions in Vancouver with Ryan Dahle (Limblifer, Hot Hot Heat) produced "Travel Back in Time," a spiky folk rocker that features purring organ and click-clacking castanets. With Ryan Guldemond (Mother Mother) she recorded "Carolina" as well as the horn-laden "Straight Line," an after hours jazz lilt which showcases the singer's elastic vocal range. Montreal, Toronto and Calgary are also featured Canadian cities.
