Julian Taylor and Logan Staats

With a soulful voice and captivating stage presence, Julian Taylor’s unique blend of blues, roots, and folk music has earned him a growing fanbase and critical acclaim not only in Canada but also in Europe and the US. He’s earned four JUNO Award nominations (including 2024’s "Contemporary Roots Album of the Year" for “Beyond The Reservoir”), three 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards nominations along with a pair of Canadian Folk Music Awards for Solo Artist and English Songwriter of the Year, five Native American Music Award nominations, plus being long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize.

Mohawk rocker-turned-folk-and-soul musician Logan Staats began as a diamond in the rough on the streets of Brantford, Ontario. He had no formal musical training, no connections—just a good ear, raw lyrical talent, and a guitar always in hand. He played the local circuit for years before his 2015 debut release, Goodbye Goldia, an unvarnished yet hard-hitting solo acoustic album. In 2018, he won CTV’s The Launch, gaining commercial success and touring across North America and Europe.
