Daniel James McFadyen Bio:
Daniel James McFadyen is an award-winning indie-folk artist whose expressive lyricism, charismatic stage presence, and road-worn storytelling have made him one of Canada’s most compelling contemporary voices. His 2025 sophomore album, Back To The Country (LHM Records), marks a defining moment in his artistic evolution—an intimate, organic, and boldly confident full-length that leans into the Americana/Canadiana textures he has grown increasingly known for.
Recorded live off the floor in a cabin on British Columbia’s Shuswap Lake with producer Cole Friesen, the album captures an unpolished, lived-in warmth. Across its 11 tracks, McFadyen weaves themes of disillusionment, hope, daydreaming, heartbreak, humour, and the search for home. From the barn-burning stomp of “Spinnaker (I’m Leavin’),” to the wistful ache of “Hurt My Heart,” to the wry charm of “Landmine,” Back To The Country showcases a songwriter stepping fully into his voice.
McFadyen’s rise has been powered equally by his dynamic, deeply interactive live shows. His cross-Canada tours have sold out major venues—including Toronto’s Great Hall, Halifax’s Marquee Ballroom, and Ottawa’s Overflow Brewing—cultivating a devoted and ever-growing fanbase. In 2024, he earned three Music Nova Scotia Awards, the most of any artist that year, cementing his status as a breakout performer.
Kristen Martell Bio:
Kristen Martell is an award winning songwriter from Nova Scotia whose music transcends boundaries and connects deeply with her audience. Known for her feathery, soothing vocals and heartfelt lyrics, Kristen weaves together intimate and moving songs that linger long after the music fades. After two successful English studio albums, numerous award nominations and accolades, Kristen returns with a new chapter—an enchanting French album that pays tribute to her Acadian roots (March 28, 2025 - 2025 Music Nova Scotia Prix de L'Acadie). With an edgier pop sensibility, the album bridges moods, offering a unique musical experience that is both reflective and vibrant. Through delicate ballads and emotional storytelling, she invites listeners into a world where cultures blend, and emotions flow freely.
Blessing Tangban Bio:
Blessing Tangban is a Canada-based, award-winning Nigerian Afro-folk singer-songwriter and guitarist, known for her emotionally rich storytelling and ethereal finger-picked acoustic sound. Described by Radr Africa as “a juxtaposition of African folklore and futuristic soul,” her music blends African roots with soulful, contemporary resonance. Her voice, often compared to Norah Jones, brings warmth and depth to every performance.
