Featuring:
D’orjay The Singing Shaman
Artist Sponsored by Duncan Craig LLP
This ain’t your grandaddy’s country music, despite it paying homage to the classic country D’orjay The Singing Shaman grew up with in rural Alberta. And it sure as hell ain’t stadium girls-trucks-beer country. Instead, she colours outside the lines with anthemic, bold blues, honky-tonk and rock-flavoured roots with a distinct queer, Black twist. Her powerful warm voice guides orchestration featuring piano, syncopated electric guitar, paced banjo, fiddle and steel guitar, all with a healing self-reflection.
Kaeley Jade
A vibrant presence with a voice like velvet, folk-pop singer/songwriter Kaeley Jade weaves lush imagery and hooky melodic lines to craft music that is both poignant and playful. A Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Award nominee, Kaeley has performed on stages across Canada including the Taste of Edmonton, Tkaronto Music Festival and World Music Week. Reminiscent of artists like Maggie Rogers and The Lumineers, her music has received radio play across North America, has been added to major playlists across streaming giants, and has been placed in several film and television productions.
