Dan Mangan is a two-time JUNO award winning & two-time Polaris Music Prize listed musician and songwriter. He has toured around the globe, played Jimmy Kimmel Live, collaborated with Dave Grohl and scored acclaimed soundtracks for Netflix, AMC, CBC and feature film. He is also a co-founder of Side Door, a community marketplace platform for the arts where any space is a venue. Mangan’s sixth studio LP Being Somewhere unfurls like a tender overdue conversation with a dear friend. The album took nearly three years to record as a long-distance collaboration with producer Drew Brown (Radiohead, Beck) and may just be his finest work yet.

Aysanabee is Oji-Cree, Sucker Clan of the Sandy Lake First Nation. He is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and singer songwriter currently based in Toronto who uses folk, soul and alt-pop to tell stories about his life and reconnecting with his northern roots. He began creating music under his mother’s maiden name during the pandemic when the stillness allowed him to slow down and create music, he says, more directly represents himself as an artist.Solemn and soaring, backed by a swirling blend of indie, soul and electronic soundscapes, mournful saxophone and pulse-quickening finger-picking, Aysanabee’s striking sound is equal parts hypnotic and melodic which has been compared to Bon Iver, Matt Corby, Don Ross, Kim Churchill, Kings of Leon and Sam Smith. His 2022 debut album, Watin, named after his grandfather, includes 10 tracks and nine interludes featuring the voice of his grandfather and is both part music and journalism, artistry and expression.
