The Sadies (http://www.thesadies.net/)

The essence of The Sadies’ story is in many summed up with the powerful image of the aurora borealis adorning the cover of their latest album, Northern Passages. Ever since the quartet comprised of singer/guitarists Dallas and Travis Good, bassist Sean Dean and drummer Mike Belitsky first arrived on the North American scene 20 years ago, their music has never been less than awe-inspiring, with no further embellishment necessary. As the light swirled with each album The Sadies have made, the overall picture took on more defined colours. On top of that was the incredible list of collaborations—Neko Case, R&B legend Andre Williams, The Mekons’ Jon Langford, Jon Spencer, Robyn Hitchcock, John Doe, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Gord Downie, Neil Young for fuck’s sake!— each one pushing The Sadies’ own sound into new, unmapped territory. Eventually, more time was taken in between albums as focus shifted to their original songwriting, and what was once the best live band in Canada became the best band in Canada, period. The Sadies are a band that fans cling to like a closely guarded secret, with each new release fulfilling the promise to reach further, for all of our sakes, not just their own. With Northern Passages, the time has come to make room for more on this wild acid-folk- country-punk trip, and trust me, we’ll be better off because of it.

Zakary Miller (https://zakarymiller.bandcamp.com)

With roots spread across the country, Zakary Miller's songs reflect on a deeply Canadian identity. Both self loathing and loving, he’s crafted a sound he calls 'Canadiana Swing'. Influences such as Stompin’ Tom, Bob Wills, Hank Williams and Rex Griffin shine through in his songwriting and sound, keeping a tradition of old time music alive while integrating his own introspective, silly outlook on life. Country, Jazz and Jugband music all intersect in a Zakary Miller set. His band of handpicked, always talented musicians is a rotating cast of people he feels can translate the silliness that he believes should be an important part of Old Time Music. Currently working on his third and fourth albums simultaneously produced and recorded in the Annapolis Valley; while playing everywhere he can, you’re sure to hear Zakary Miller yodelling in a town near you.
