Together, they bring a wealth of experience and a celebrated history of achievements to Wolfville. As Running Red Lights, Kevin and Scarlett toured extensively across Canada, the U.S., and Europe, opening for major acts such as Great Big Sea, Barenaked Ladies, and Counting Crows, while performing at high-profile events like NXNE, CMW, and Junofest. They were also featured on national platforms, including New Year’s Eve with ET Canada and MuchMusic’s Disband.

Gregory Childs

Gregory Childs & Heart Lung deliver raw, heartfelt alt-country. Fronted by songwriter Gregory Childs and his wife Tyrah Kalman, the band also features Jonathan Billings (guitar), Melissa Paju (bass), and Luke Sutherland (drums). Their sound blends heartfelt songwriting, punchy guitars, tambourine, and raw, emotional vocals. With comparisons to “unplugged Nirvana” and “a dark Fleetwood Mac” from Alan Cross (102.1 The Edge), they’ve become a staple of Toronto’s live scene.

Lake Porter

Lake Porter is a brand new singer-songwriter trio that thrives in the space between Folk Americana + Rock and Roll, balancing raw storytelling with rich melodies and a dynamic live show. What started as a casual collaboration between friends quickly took on a life of its own, revealing a sound too strong to keep to themselves.

In 2020, Matt Von decided to go solo. He blended his pop/acoustic singer-songwriter background with hints of country and folk styles. His music compels listeners to go on an aural journey with his music, captivating audiences with his varied style and organic rawness and thoughtful lyricism.
