8pm start 'till 10:30pm
Ali McCormick -
Known for her powerful voice, vivid imagery, and fearless lyricism, Ali McCormick is a true northern folk troubadour. Her songs move with the rhythm of the rivers and back roads, blending rugged honesty with poetic insight. Whether she’s delivering a driving, rootsy anthem or a quiet, introspective ballad, Ali’s performances are marked by authenticity and emotional depth. For more than a decade, Ali has toured nationwide, honing her craft on stages across Canada and building a devoted following through the strength of her live performances.
Jillian Allinson -
Jillian is a thoughtful songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, teacher, and owner of The Poland Church event venue… but first and foremost, Jillian is a performer. She has something to say, her performances are raw and uncut as she reminds us to pause, breathe deeply, and smell the wildflowers.
Kristine St-Pierre...
Soulful folk with a country kick. Kristine St-Pierre sings about love, detours, and betting on yourself. The ‘chansonnière au coeur voyageur’ weaves together a rich blend of folk, roots and country music, captivating listeners in English and French. She received a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for her album La promesse and she was named Francophone artist of the year by the Country Music Association of Ontario in 2025 and 2026. Her fourth album, Love & Vulnerability, released in 2024, is described "as a magnificent blend of folk, pop and roots with impressive songwriting and song craft." She recently released a cross-Canada collaboration with Edmonton artist Krista Hartman. New music is on the horizon co-written in Nashville and Toronto and produced by Canadian producer Douglas Romanow.
