Arielle Soucy dares to explore folk music with a radical sensibility on Passages, a grandiose offering that follows the intimate Il n’y a rien que je ne suis pas (named Best album of 2023 by the iconic newspaper Le Devoir and nominated for the Polaris Music Prize). The artist effortlessly sweeps us into a striking tableau where the acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies reign supreme, inspired at times by modern poetry, at others, by sacred music. Disarming, solemn, hushed - Arielle Soucy’s show grips us at our core and elevates us to the highest heights of lyrical expression.
Justin Orok is a Toronto-based singer-songwriter best known for his intricate, character-driven narrative songwriting. His debut album Kanata, featuring Polaris-prize winning producer Jean Martin (Tanya Tagaq), was released to critical acclaim on Paraphenalia Records in Japan. Releasing in 2025 are two new recordings: Debt, a collection of cover songs by his mentors, and California Shutters, his sophomore full-length album.
