7:00 THE REASON
LOCAL ROOTS
Drawn together in early 2003 by their love of music and the i mpetus to forge their own musical path, The Reason first caught the attention of audiences and music critics across Canada with their killer live shows and the release of their debut album Ravenna (2004). The band's undeniable growing songwriting prowess led them down a seemingly new musical path brimming with a more multidimensional sound with the release of their sophmore album Things Couldn't Be Better in 2007. In August 2010, Hamilton's favourite sons released their third album and found much success with singles such as The Longest Highway Home.

8:15 WINTERSLEEP The Great Detachment, Wintersleep’s sixth LP and first with Dine Alone Records, is very much an introspective work, both conceptually and thematically. Of course, it delivers a welcome dose of the atmospheric, entrancing alt-rock for which the band has become known – the beautifully orchestrated arrangements anchored by haunting, almost hypnotic vocal melodies; however, the way those arrangements were approached and the poetry they relay are very much the product of some self-(re) discovery. Wintersleep headlined Festival D'été in Quebec City, BC's Pemberton Festival, Halifax's Gridlock Festival, Edmonton's Sonic Festival, Calgary's X Fest and played Winnipeg's Interstellar Rodeo, among others.
9:45 THE TREWS
LOCAL ROOTS
East Coast-bred, Toronto-based rockers The Trews who, since the April 2014 release of their universally acclaimed self-titled fifth studio album, have scarcely stopped to take a breath. This summer, The Trews perform coast to coast, hitting multiple prestigious festivals along the way. Smart money says the newly revamped and re-energized Trews will – in typical Trews workhorse fashion - use any available downtime to contemplate their next album. “We certainly have options… maybe issuing previously unreleased material. And we’ve got to write a bunch of new songs. There’s lots to do between now and the end of the year. But we’re ready.” thetrewsmusic.com

7:00 GRANDSON
9:30 USS
As Grandson, Jordan Benjamin combines bluesy hard rock guitars, trap-influenced beats, and lyrics about the hardships of everyday life. Benjamin was born in Englewood, New Jersey, but he grew up in Toronto in a musical family, and was raised on classic rock, hip-hop, dancehall, and other genres. After teaching himself to play guitar and piano, he started beatboxing and freestyle rapping, and began recording demos of songs while a student at McGill University in Montreal. Benjamin relocated to Los Angeles and worked on tracks with producers Kevin Hissink and HighxLand, and the single “Bills” was released in September of 2016.
It’s hard to put your thumb on Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker. Ours is admittedly a world where things are constantly being examined, labeled, named, and methodically grouped neatly in one place or the other. When something comes along that won’t be put under a thumb, what then? No, chaos doesn’t consume the earth, but it does often leave people wondering where to place the duo with a sound that is equal parts science and art, a convergence of gentle melody and driving beat. Like a science experiment set to music, what they do melts down acoustic rock, EDM, Dub, Hip-Hop, Orchestral, and Pop transforming it into an entirely new element.

grandson
Calgary's Reuben and the Dark is a collection of five multi-instrumentalists and vocalists led by Reuben Bullock. The group makes chilling, emotive folk and soul driven by dark, introspective lyrics that explore the duality of misery and joy. Boasting a rare chemistry between all members across western Canada, Reuben and the Dark Reuben And The Dark has emerged organically from Canada's stellar independent scene on the strength of often anthemic compositions that translate the language of emotion into song with haunting clarity. Their debut album is produced by the UK's Chris Hayden (Florence & the Machine) and Canada's Stephen Kozmeniuk (Madonna, Nicki Minaj, USS and The Game feat Kanye West) and is being mixed by Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele). reubenandthedark.com

Artists like Rush, Marillion, Gordon Lightfoot have taken a shine to Moon's renditions of their songs and have lavished him praise and a spotlight that has gained him international attention. It is these inventive covers that draws the fans in, but it's Moon's original material and his compelling live show that make them pull up a chair. jacobmoon.com

3:1 was formed two years ago in Burlington, Ontario at their high school Dr Frank J. Hayden. It started off with Andre Cusson (guitar), Daniel Cunningham (bass) and Daniel Hinds (drums) when Emily Phongphilack (vocalist) walked in listening to their lunch time jam session one day at school. Since then they have been creating original Alternative Funk music and recently won first place in their local YMCA Battle of The Bands competition. 3:1 wants their audience to let loose and feel as though they are having fun on stage with them. facebook.com/wearethreetoone
2:15 THE LAZYS Meet THE LAZYS, one of Australia’s best and most talked about live rock and roll bands. THE LAZYS don’t sweet-talk and they offer not an ounce of glamour. They are gritty, loud, edgy and dangerous. They always deliver a fistful of rock, as they demonstrate on their sizzling new selftitled album. The Australian rock audience demands honesty, energy, and the ability to deliver the goods. Those traits are also valued by Canadian rock fans, so it is no surprise that they’re taking to THE LAZYS faster than a great white shark to an Aussie surfer.
Stage 3:45 BLEEKER Bleeker are steadily building a rock solid name for themselves in their native Canada. But despite an altered band name and a slightly revamped lineup, Bleeker's aesthetic and work ethic remain as sturdy and as unshakable as ever. Musically, Bleeker crosspollinate the swagger of The Rolling Stones with psych-tinged groove, and therefore they fall among Royal Blood, Struts, The Black Keys, and Jet in the alt rock spectrum. But what sets them apart is an ever-sosubtle current of loose cannon danger that courses through every riff, note, and melody of their latest album Erase You. bleekerofficial.com

Drawing on a wide swath of rock, jazz and R&B influences ranging from Etta James and Aretha Franklin to Billie Holiday, Sam Cooke and the late Amy Winehouse – artists “who let you hear the soul in their voices” – Laura noticed a theme developing as she and Bigas narrowed her growing catalog of tunes to nine perfectly honed tracks. She says the theme of Dirty Cheat can be summed up in three songs: the sly and sexy “Sweet Escape”, the dreamy, mystical Tom Waits inspired “Death Row”, and the trippy, seductively sly title track, about raining hell down upon a cheating boyfriend.
"Currently, it seems like there are only two types of Canadian singersongwriters: those who strive to sound like Jeff Buckley and those who strive to sound like Leslie Feist. Terra Lightfoot has crafted a third, more interesting option: none of the above." – Exclaim! Magazine! Whether you’re talking about her as a songwriter, guitarist or vocalist, one thing is indisputable: Hamilton’s Terra Lightfoot is a ferocious talent. Her songs tap into the raw emotion of hearts supercharged by love, lust, loneliness and temptation. Her playing melds expert finger-picking and distorted, hook-heavy melodies.

Gabrielle has been compared to Amy Winehouse and Fiona Apple and has been working for two years with Louis-Jean Cormier's guitarist Simon Pedneault to fine-tune a full album with introspective tones. The clip for her song Habit , directed by the multidisciplinary artist Dragos Chirac (Men I Trust), sets the bar already high for this singer-songwriter… a name to remember.

Twenty years ago, the second biggest musical export to come out of Ottawa — after Alanis Morissette — was a band called the Barstool Prophets. After building a buzz in Ottawa with their independent first album and cultivating a homegrown following, the Cornwall-Ottawa rock quartet landed a Toronto-based manager and were courted by record companies. Their major-label debut, Crank, came out on Polygram in August 1995. There were soldout shows, thousands of albums sold, fans who recognized them in malls, and tours with all the cool Canrock bands of the day, including the Odds, Junkhouse, Our Lady Peace, 54-40, I Mother Earth, Headstones and Watchmen.

Modern and timeless, Strongman’s No Time Like Now is a slab of reinvigorated 21st century blues. An intoxicating shot of raw electrified blues, the album captures the performer riding a surge of new energy. The album is a shout-out to a lifelong love of blues in all its shapes and shadings, from rough-hewn electric blues, blue-collar hollers and swampy stompers to soulful groovers and hushed, heartfelt ballads. More than anything, the album reconnects with the primal force and emotional clout of dirty blues. It’s a stunning rocker, and it’s a hell of a lot of fun. stevestrongman.com
