ISAAC VALLENTIN
singer/songwriter/musician (Montreal)

Isaac Vallentin has been surreptitiously creating some of the region's most fearless avant-garde pop music of the last 3 years. His charcoal baritone stitches abstract song-poems through a patchwork of art-soul, electronics, and American primitive guitar traditionalism. (2017)

ATHERTON

Deep confesh, rhymes and life. Uncompromising ambassador of Ottawa's Hip Hop. A lion in lion's clothing. Rawwrr.

NEW SWEARS

Ottawa's crowned princes of bush party-swagger, tackle you off the cliff of compromise. Melodic garage anthems of every regret you've never had.

CEREMONY

CEREMONY defibrillates your inhibitions. A deep ocean of dance to your kiddy rave pool.

Djs Adam Saikaley, Eric Roberts and Gary Franks swaddle you in a wet embrace of bass, lather you with lows, and leave you breathless in glorious disarray. Yes, don't stop.

MIKE CAFFREY'S SPONTANEOUS ORCHESTRA

Pushing the boundaries of electrically-generated sound for some 20 years, Mike Caffrey's set was the highlight of last year's children's program! We once again invite your children to help create a wild tapestry of spontaneous music using Caffrey's electronic sound-toys! Hyperbole aside, this is seriously magical.
