THE HISTORY OF GUNPOWDER is a freak-out ensemble from Montreal, now based in Vancouver, with an ever-changing cast of members that put on unpredictable, chaotic live shows. A staple of the Canadian live scene, The History is devoted to constantly pushing the envelope on stage and in the studio and has built a community around them that consists of some of the best musicians in Canada. On any given night, The History may have a horn section, violin quartet, or gospel vocal group joining them on stage to add to their 6-piece core group. https://www.thehistoryofgunpowder.com/

CHASE THE BEAR is a rock and roll band from Vancouver, BC that mixes catchy hooks, roaring electric guitars, and hard-hitting rhythms inspired by classic rock with influences of indie, soul, R&B, and pop. A band of blood brothers, childhood friends, and musical prodigies, Chase The Bear shows unrivaled chemistry on stage with tasty harmonies, duelling guitar solos, and an explosion of talent, passion, and youthful energy, showing that this isn’t a rock n’ roll revival band - Chase The Bear is a whole new animal ready to take the world by storm. https://chasethebearmusic.com/

CAT MADDEN: "Cat's voice is like an opera singer mixed with a Husqvarna chainsaw..." and her songs "blur the lines between rock, soul and jazz so eloquently”. Cat is an ambassador for women in music and has been likened to artists as diverse as Little Feat, Frank Zappa, Heart, Yes and Stevie Nicks. Expect a mind-altering, emotionally powerful, refreshingly genuine performance intertwined with witty banter and decades of extra musicianship from Ian Cardona, Daniel Sveinson, Alana Pearce and Art Barrientos. “The only way I can describe the feeling is that it was as if I had just watched Hendrix at Monterey in '67.” - Brass Camel. https://www.catmmadden.com/
