Ellen Froese is deftly penning head-turning songs that invite the listener to let go of the things that are getting them down. It’s flirting with self-acceptance while indulging in a hearty spoonful of self-deprecation; it’s trying to be “happy in the confidence of a solitary song”; it’s getting your friends on board for some cheeky country-folk tunes. And nobody does those quite like her. 

Janky Bungag is sweet and spicy wrapped into a bluegrass pickin’, good timin’ man. Hailing from Vancouver, Janky takes the every day ins and outs of living in a city and transforms them into a song that each person can relate to. From love to lust, heart break to smoke break, he touches on all the emotions with a laid back lighthearted energy.
 

Snake River formed in 2014, and has spent that time making seven records, and touring Canada. Snake River’s album – LOST ALBUM (2021) – is an excursion into previously uncharted sonic territory for the group. Like previous albums, it is set in the fictional town of Snake River Mountain, and features characters that listeners of the band will recognize. The album features contributions by members of Radiation Flowers and Shooting Guns. Snake River uses minimal elements to make each song a swirling psychedelic event – equal parts twang and jangle.
