Ryan McNally:
While he’s best known for his interpretative playing of traditional acoustic blues, jazz and old time music, audiences can’t help but notice the influence that Northern living has had on his music. For the past 13 years McNally has called Whitehorse, YK his home.
Originally from rural southern Quebec, Ryan first discovered jazz and blues by uncovering a huge collection of ‘78 records that belonged to his grandfather. Then, as a teen, his curiosity for the sound and history anchored his love for the genres and it’s only grown stronger since.
His first album Down Home (2012), was recorded live by CBC North and received a feature on the popular radio show Saturday Night Blues, hosted by Holgar Peterson.
McNally has become known for his diversity as a multi-instrumentalist. He plays guitar, harmonica, mandolin, violin and banjo, all in many different styles. Whether performing solo or with his band, his music is grounded in the legacy of the generations of players that came before him. All the while he continues to push the boundaries of his own signature sound.

The McMillan's Camp Boys:
Hailing from the Rocky Mountains of western Canada, The McMillan’s Camp Boys now call Nova Scotia home. Much like many musicians their age, growing up in the early days of Youtube meant having unlimited access to a large archive of music history. This led them to their many early influences, including old folk and blues players like Lightnin’ Hopkins and Big Bill Broonzy. Over the years, their musical taste has shifted to a more traditional country and bluegrass sound, heavily influenced by groups like The Stanley Brothers and The Carter Family, as well as old-time banjo pickers like Roscoe Holcomb and Frank Proffitt. While on stage, The McMillan’s Camp Boys take turns passing the guitar and banjo back and forth between songs. The duo’s vocal harmonies deliver timeless melodies to a modern audience and their long-standing friendship can be heard in every note.
