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.

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...
