Performances
Though by no means a jam band, The Paperboys reinvent their show every time they step onstage. Once the band agrees on the opening song, there is no set list. The song finishes, the crowd reacts, Landa reads the room, and the journey begins.
Born in Ethiopia and based in Whistler, BC, ZADA is a genre-defying artist whose music lives in the space between contrasts—beauty and grit, intimacy and scale, soul and experimentation. Blending alternative R&B with electronic textures, jazz, folk, and global rhythms, her sound is cinematic yet grounded, guided by a voice that is both warm and commanding.
Bend Sinister is a progressive-indie band formed in 2001 now based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The band takes its name from a novel by Vladimir Nabokov.
With a crystalline country vocal and an international rep for writing vivid scenes of emotional insight, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville artist Madeline Merlo is a rising star with an old soul and a new school style. To her, dreams aren’t just for those who have it all figured out.
