Artist Bios
waNda wilsoN
waNda wilsoN's sound is an eclectic mix of raw and sweet. It is a musical approach that has been described as bold and courageous.
With Cree roots from northern Manitoba, Canada, wilsoN's material embodies strength, humor, hope and pain in her own alternative way. Now living in Winnipeg, Manitoba, wilsoN is known to welcome and explore almost any artistic idea she can find into her work. She is passionate, optimistic and determined to work with what she has; her sound has been described by many as raw and edgy. The approach is out of the ordinary and pretty damn cool. Whether she's using a homemade amp fashioned from an old suitcase, custom drum kit pieced together one skin at a time, or some obscure outdoor location, wilsoN's tendency to 'make do' conveys a style that speaks for itself. With a hint of folk-rock sprinkled with a smidgeon of garden-punk, she constructs an alternative blend of music meant to be heard. While sharing the stage with many talented musicians, wilsoN continues to seek, create and walk forward on her journey, wherever she may roam.
Ryan Stanley Shodine

After paying his dues in Winnipeg punk acts, Ryan Stanley Shodine’s voice has evolved from that of a raspy young man to a seasoned troubadour, writing clever and catchy tunes about redemption, reincarnation, and remembrances. With a library of songs split between contemplative acoustic strummers and timeless rockers, Shodine walks a line right behind Ron Hawkins, Jeff Tweedy, Frank Turner, and Conor Oberst.
