Milk & Bone are coming to Northern Ontario for the first time ever to cap off Up Here 5! Opening acts to be announced tomorrow! Presented by Downtown Sudbury. MILK & BONE Montréal’s Milk & Bone create melodies that are both dreamy and harrowing. Made up of electronic textures and layered synths, the duo’s sonic universe distinguishes itself from the electro-pop genre with their perfectly-paired vocal colours. Their sophomore album, Deception Bay was released in 2018 and won them the Juno for best electronic album of the year. LYDIA AINSWORTH Lydia Ainsworth has been making waves since the release of her latest album last month. She sings from three perspectives: herself, Mother Nature, and Greek Chorus, taking the listener on a journey. Living in the lush and complex dream world almost entirely on her own, she creates the kind of bewitching pop that you'd swear soundtracked your dreams. JENNIFER HOLUB Teacher-turned-songstress, Jennifer Holub is teaching us all what modern folk can sound like. Equally comfortable singing as on guitar and keys, her haunting melodies tell bittersweet tales set in Northern Ontario. Her new album “The Reckoning” is a hawkish condemnation of society’s place for women, and an urgent call to rouse from it.

Duncan Cameron constantly seeks to better entertain his audiences. His repertoire, which was once mainly Celtic, now extends to mainstream rock and country hits. Not only do his fans continue to attend his performances and request their favourites, but in addition, new patrons are often delighted when they hear him perform modern familiar songs skillfully. Even before listening, many are often impressed by the array of instruments he brings and plays with skill. Furthermore, his use of a looper and other technology to enhance his sound makes his solo shows unexpectedly rich in timbre and range. Along with his music, Duncan shares a sense of humour and a gentle and engaging manner with his listeners. www.duncancameron.com

Tragedy Ann (forward-looking folk) is bringing Matches to Canada's “Middle Coast” for the first time in August! Their performances in Northern ON, MB and SK will embrace the intimacy of living rooms and gardens, the grandeur of festival stages, and the natural pairing of culinary art with music. Joining Tragedy Ann at this concert will be their favourite Sudbury artist Martine Fortin, serenading us with her insightful and sultry piano, guitar and vocal arrangements. Doors at 6pm Music at 6:30pm $10 advance (eventbrite.ca) | $15 door tragedyannmusic.com -- About Tragedy Ann: Forward-looking folk duo Tragedy Ann finds warmth in questions and daring in answers, making space for the tear that lies behind laughter. With intimacy and care, the duo favours a flashlight over a spotlight in songs for community, nature, and hardworking hospital staff. Braiding organic harmonies with accordion, singing saw, guitars, and ukulele, Liv Cazzola and Braden Phelan’s arrangements are as delicate as they are driving. Their sounds and stories were most recently captured on September 2018’s release ‘Matches’, garnering them two ‘Songs from the Heart’ songwriting awards (Folk Music Ontario), national folk/roots radio charting, and syndication on CBC Radio and Stingray Music. Regularly touring across Canada (and, shortly, in Europe and the USA), Tragedy Ann concerts emanate “the honesty and enthusiasm of people who can’t help but create and perform.” (Jon Farmer, Georgian Bay Roots). Whether it be a favourite pair of reading glasses or the chemistry created when songwriters share a vision, depth is best observed through two lenses. -- About Martine: Originaire de Sudbury, Ontario, Martine est une artiste élégante armée d’une voix somptueuse et d’un regard séduisant. Son style est influencé par le jazz, le blues, le soul, et l’alternatif. Elle introduit des paroles authentiques avec un air mature et introspectif tout en s’accompagnant au...
