Meredith Moon
Meredith Moon began playing several instruments and writing songs at a young age, inspired by growing up in a musical family, her father being singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. In her teenage years, she found her sound as a busker on sidewalks from Halifax to Vancouver, and began travelling her home of Canada, and the world, by means of road and rail, finding inspiration for her unique style of songs which are often based on her travels, and crafted in a true storyteller’s fashion.
Besides playing traditional tunes often ‘non-traditionally’, Moon presents a powerful voice and highly contemporary clawhammer banjo style which has gained acclaim within the international old-time music community.
Ghostly Hounds
Ghostly Hounds is the soulful folk-noir & old-time project of Francesca Mirai – a singer-songwriter and banjo player based in the Lekwungen Territory colonially known as Victoria, BC. Drawing inspiration from many genres, Francesca has become known for their unique vocals. They captivate audiences with a clear, soaring range, powerful projection, and just the right amount of grit, coalescing elegantly with traditional and modern banjo instrumentals. Ghostly Hounds is known for having a “double take” inducing performance, to which audience members often ascribe terms such as “haunting” or “enchanting”.
Ghostly Hounds began on the streets of Montreal in 2015, starting off busking before quickly transitioning to live music venues across the city. Their debut album, Creature, was released in 2017, followed by In the Rubble in 2022. Over the past decade, Francesca has toured extensively under the Ghostly Hounds name, with performances ranging from solo sets to a full five-piece band.
Thalia Couture
Your local ornery, country-folk gal who is sometimes very funny -
Come listen to me swoon, swagger and sway. Say and sing some sad to funny things. Mostly covers, peppered in with some originals.
