Performances by:
Linebeck Band:
Linebeck blends dreamy indie rock with a playful, high-energy live show – all in matching pajamas. Hailing from Hamilton, ON, they craft emotionally rich, hook-driven songs with a nostalgic flair, drawing inspiration from everything from real life to their love of video games and anime. While their music is rooted in intention and feeling, their performances are all about connection, chaos, and having fun. Expect big feelings, loud singalongs, and a show that feels like a party you won’t want to leave.
Hamilton-based Linebeck delivers dreamy indie rock with big emotion and chaotic fun – think catchy hooks, matching pajamas, and live shows that feel like a sleepover you never want to end.
Cassidy Taylor:
Cassidy Taylor is an indie pop artist based in Toronto, Ontario. Known for writing incredibly thought-provoking lyrics and unforgettable hooks, Cassidy’s sound is described as introspective yet anthemic — the kind of music that allows you to hear yourself. Cassidy has been compared to artists like Gracie Abrams, Billie Eilish, and some of the greats like Joni Mitchell and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders. With her enormously warm and inviting presence on stage, she has charmed audiences across Ontario and continues to amass fans in places as far as Australia and Germany through her latest releases. In June of 2025, she released her latest single, “Not Blue.”
Growing up a shy kid in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario, Canada, Cassidy began writing songs in her bedroom at the age of 8. As her artistry evolved and with her best work on the horizon, now the vision is to take others out of the comfort of their headphones and get them in a room to experience a community where they belong.
