THE KENTS REUNITE TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARS OF THE WAKING EP
The Kents were a Canadian indie-rock band from Kawartha Lakes, Ontario. Known for their catchy melodies and energetic live shows, The Kents released two EPs — 2016’s Waking and 2017’s Within Waves — in the midst of four years of touring, 10 million+ Spotify streams, global radio play, and features on major sports platforms including the Olympics, Hockey Night in Canada, and MLB’s World Series Of Baseball. The Kents shared the stage with The Beaches, The Strumbellas, Hollerado, Said The Whale, The Sheepdogs, and Serena Ryder while playing staple Canadian festivals including Hillside Festival, Peterborough Folk Festival, The Beaches Jazz Festival, Supercrawl, Wolfe Island Music Festival, Cultivate Festival, and NXNE. In 2020, the band re-branded to Heaps and released their debut LP What Is Heaps, followed by a self-produced EP, Little Blue. As 2026 marks the tenth anniversary of the release of the Waking EP, The Kents are reuniting to celebrate with an Ontario tour in August 2026. With upwards of 20,000 consistent monthly listeners on Spotify currently, The Kents fans are ready for more.

Known in some circles as a feisty third of punk trio Intimidators, and in others for her warm, honeyed voice and soulful spin on folk-blues and early rock ‘n' roll, Kay Silver is a singer/songwriter based out of Peterborough, Ontario. As a solo artist, she infuses spare, subtle mid-tempo arrangements with alt-rock and dream-pop resonance, melding neo-torch sensibilities with ethereal, reverb-laden soundscapes.
