Wild Remedy:
Self identified as an indie folk band who's influenced by everything from alternative pop to folk-rock, gospel to disco; Wild Remedy is a female trio of Ottawa-born musicians with a love for chilling harmonies and all things folk. Formed out of a simple desire to share their love of music with anyone willing to listen, Amy Russett, Colleen Robertson, and Shay Mahoney have now shared their music with audiences across Canada and beyond thanks to the trio’s growing success and online presence.
Their latest EP release, “Songs from Home” is an honest collection about the realities of growing up and becoming, set to dance-worthy rhythms and unforgettable melodies. The release includes the band’s debut singles, “What I Did Find” and “Wild Remedy”, as well as new folk hits that both stir the heart and echo the bright sound and iconic harmonies that the band has become known for.
JoJo Worthington:
JoJo Worthington’s music is infinite. This Montreal-based producer/songwriter crafts intimate recollections which explode into limitless soundscapes. Fusing electronic glitches, acoustic nuances, and extraterrestrial melodies, Worthington’s work pushes folk songs to the perilous edge.
Worthington has emerged as a distinctive presence in creative Canadian music, pairing deftly penned songs with spectacular sonic landscapes. Having wandered through the “lost, enchanted forest” of 2016’s album, \\, and sailed the seas of her epic odyssey TCYK (2019), BAPTIZED I sees this visionary songcrafter adorning her armour, grabbing her sword, and beginning a quest for a destination that isn’t tangible—a quest towards the divine.
Alex Whorms:
Alex Whorms (pronounced warms) crafts music that is a genre unto itself. The singer-songwriter and screen composer flawlessly blends indie, folk, pop, jazz and cinematic styles into a sound that is at once intimate and anthemic. Growing up in Pickering, Ontario, she found early inspiration in the theatricality of Tori Amos and the eccentric grit of Fiona Apple, shaping her distinct piano-driven style. But Whorms rarely sits at the piano - she's on her feet dancing as she plays, with a voice that dares you to feel it all.
Now based in Hamilton, Alex has released three EP's, won a Hamilton Arts Award and played major festivals including Toronto Pride and Supercrawl. She has appeared on CBC Radio and national TV, and has composed soundtracks to award-winning documentaries.
Her newest EP, Daylight Chasing Dusk, is a leap into a more vulnerable indie-alt sound, pairing infectious grooves and uniquely memorable lyrics. "These are the songs I was once scared to release, that taught me more about myself", she says. Even as it wrestles with the ache of outgrowing her younger self, Daylight Chasing Dusk shimmers with life, welcoming listeners who are ready to embrace their shadows and move forward with their jagged edges intact.
