Ada Lea is the musical project of Montreal’s Alexandra Levy. She has two albums released by Saddle Creek and Next Door Records (CA), including what we say in private and one hand on the steering wheel the other sewing a garden, which earned her a spot on the Polaris Prize Long List in 2022. Beyond music, she paints, draws, reads, takes forest walks, cares for plants, and organizes a seasonal songwriting method. The third Ada Lea album—rumored to be her best yet—is set for release in 2025.

The music of Taylor Jade has been described as sorrowful & brooding . Her music, guitar driven and lyric-focused, recounts memories of melancholic darkness & loss, dappled with moments of sparkling luminosity. Blending influences from heavy metal, traditional folk, and psychedelia, she entrances with her inimitable approach to singing & songwriting. Her live performances are mesmerizing, balancing soft intricacy with powerful crescendo, reverberating within every inch of space, leaving audiences spell-bound.

respectfulchild 敬兒 is an interdisciplinary artist born, raised, and living as an uninvited guest on Treaty 6 Territory. Their work explores the quiet tensions and chaotic beauty of being a queer Chinese-Malaysian settler on the prairies, opening up space for intimate reflection and community dialogue. Rooted primarily with their violin, their practice ranges from live performance and installation to sound design and composition. Their second studio album 更新 re:new came out last year.
