Up Here 5 kicks off with a nice big hip-hop show featuring Haisla Nation's Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Iceland's Reykjavíkurdætur and Chicago's Ric Wilson. Presented by Downtown Sudbury. SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS Snotty Nose Rez Kids are the combined talents of Yung Trybez and Young D, hailing from the West Coast Haisla Nation, “The People of the Snow.” They blend trap beats with woven lyricism into thought-provoking club bangers that challenge Indigenous stereotypes. Audiences dance, sweat, and leave energized with new knowledge. The group is behind the song Skoden that inflamed social media in 2017. They’re bringing the fresh energy and new sound from their new album TRAPLINE to this year’s festival. REYKJAVÍKURDÆTUR Reykjavíkurdætur is an irresistibly radical, all-women hip-hop collective from Iceland united by their love of hip-hop and the urge to rebel against the conservative misogynistic values of modern society. They have made a huge impact on the music scene in Iceland since they first appeared in 2013. Now they’re taking the world: tearing down walls and plowing the way for future generations. P.S. It’s pronounced Rik-Kia-Vik-Kur-Die-Tur. RIC WILSON Ric Wilson is Chicago's nouveau disco inspired rap superstar. Activist, community goofball and prolific composer, the 23-year-old electrified motivational funka hop pop poet has a whole lot to prove to the world.

Legendary proto-punk psychedelia band Simply Saucer make a highly anticipated stop in Sudbury! Presented by Stack Brewing. SIMPLY SAUCER Simply Saucer were formed on the hardscrabble streets of Hamilton, Ontario, these sci-fried proto-punks produced a hybrid of proto-punk and psychedelia in the mid-’70s. Hardly noticed outside of their hometown at the time, their album Cyborg’s Revisited (described as an “explosive time capsule”) was rediscovered and rereleased in 1989 and now they’re touring regularly and recording with a hopeful eye to the future. ART D'ECCO Art d'Ecco is a product of the Gulf Islands of the Pacific Northwest and is a multitude: an unapologetic, inclusive rock and roll mystic in a wig and lipstick. The fluidity that d’Ecco embraces had its day in the sun with glam rock’s celebration of androgyny, but the mainstream in 2019 can be painfully lacking in beyond-the-binary experiences. d’Ecco wants to change that (and says “it might make some people uncomfortable!”) TICKETS / 19 + 15$ advance / 20$ at the door Free for children 12 and under. uphere.com/tickets SIMPLY SAUCER Simply Saucer est un groupe formé dans les rues dures de Hamilton, en Ontario. Au milieu des années 70, ces proto-punks à la sci-fried produisent une oeuvre hybride de proto-punk et de psychédélisme. À peine remarqué au début, leur album Cyborg’s Revisited sera plus tard décrit comme une capsule explosive et sera redécouvert puis réédité en 1989. Aujourd’hui, ils se partent en tournée et enregistrent avec un regard optimiste sur l’avenir. ART D'ECCO Sans compromis, Art d'Ecco est un mystique rock’n’roll inclusif arborant fièrement une perruque et du rouge à lèvres. La fluidité des genres qu’embrasse Art d’Ecco était au sommet de sa forme lors de l’époque du glam rock et de la célébration de l’androgynéité des années ‘70, mais n'occupe plus la même...
A Mudmoiselle faces every day with fierce optimism. She’s not afraid to get her hands dirty (scratch that, she’s not afraid to get anything dirty). And she believes that obstacles only make her stronger. But most importantly, a Mudmoiselle wants to drag cancer through the mud. If that sounds like you, then swap your heels for runners, change your push-up bra for a sports bra, and chuck your pantyhose out the window. Whether you’re a survivor or want to support a fighter, it’s time to join your fellow Mudmoiselles in raising funds for Canada's most promising cancer research and vital cancer support services. Because when life gets messy, we stick together.

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.

The party ain't over until it's over. After an 8 year break, Les Breastfeeders are back and they will close off Up Here 5. Presented by Stack Brewing. LES BREASTFEEDERS After a long break, Les Breastfeeders are back for the first time since 2011. Established as one of Montreal’s most ferocious rock ‘n’ roll acts, Les Breastfeeders have been lighting up bars, venues and festivals everywhere for almost two decades. Les Breastfeeders not only distinguish themselves with their dazzling guitars and catchy choruses, they also wield the pen like no other french-speaking rock ‘n’ rollers. Thanks to their raw songwriting and sophisticated lyrics, the energetic garage rock sextet will have you questioning everything while dancing the night away.

Véritable machine de guerre du rock ‘n’ roll montréalais, Les Breastfeeders enflamment les scènes depuis près de 20 ans. Le sextuor rock garage infusent leur énergie sur toutes les scènes, brisant les barrières. De la langue. En plus de se distinguer sur scène avec leurs rutilantes guitares et leurs refrains accrocheurs, Les Breastfeeders manient la plume comme peu de rockeurs francophones savent le faire.

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...

Casual listeners as well as ardent music fans enjoy Duncan Cameron’s skillful performance of rock and country hits as well as his selections of traditional Celtic songs and fiddle tunes. Traditional Irish, English and French-Canadian groups have contributed much of Duncan's repertoire, but classical, country, and funk have also added to his unique approach. These influences as well as his impressive array of instruments are sometimes combined and infused within a song. 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 www.facebook.com/duncancameronmusic Instagram - Duncanrosscameron
