〰️Claire Coupland Music(Victoria) A moving songwriter and compelling guitarist, contemporary folk singer songwriter Claire Coupland combines her smooth signature folk finger picking, soaring melodies with a little dose of jazz school changes. She and her ensemble bring a graceful contemporary feel to modern folk music, always with a touch of her “wicked sense of humour” (Rik Emmett, Triumph). She transports listeners to another place with beguiling vocals, and personal stories of nature, love, family dynamics and the beautiful messiness of the human experience.
〰️Mallory Chipman (Edmonton) Mallory Chipman is an award-winning artist, celebrated for her acrobatic vocals, ear catching melodies, and the expert way she weaves story into song. Her recent album, Songs to a Wild God, hit # 5 on the Folk International Charts, and has been featured on NPR, CBC, and SiriusXM Radio. She has opened for Jann Arden, Madeleine Peyroux, and has sung back-up for the legendary rock band, Heart, but most notably continues to stun with her solo project, described as “profoundly moving” by Celtic Music Radio.
〰️Steph MacPherson (Victoria) With four studio albums, Steph Macpherson’s passion for music and love of lexicons has allowed her to invite you into a world of clever yet relatable imagery using her hauntingly beautiful vocals and a tone which is only her own. Some have described her as a splice of Stevie Nicks, Sarah Harmer and Jeff Tweedy rolled into one musical entity, with a touch of Dolly Parton-esque vibrato, and Feist-like charm.
