Conjuring a unique but universal language from that most ubiquitous of instruments, the acoustic guitar, Tony McManus has both extended and transcended the parameters of contemporary Celtic music. Ranked by peers and predecessors alike alongside the guitar world’s all-time greats, his fiendishly dexterous, dazzlingly original playing draws on traditions from the entire Celtic diaspora – Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Galicia, Asturias, Cape Breton, Quebec – along with still further-ranging flavours, such as jazz and east European music. Long applauded for his uncanny ability to transpose the delicate, complex ornamentation characteristic of traditional bagpipe or fiddle tunes – even the phrasing of a Gaelic song – onto his own six strings, McManus is increasingly being acknowledged also as a pioneering figure in bridging the realms of Celtic music and other guitar genres.

Since releasing his debut album Ballads in 2010, Matthew Byrne has established himself as one of Canada’s foremost traditional singers. His rich and powerful vocals, refined guitar style, and compelling interpretations of unique traditional songs have made him a favourite of folk audiences at home in Newfoundland and abroad. After a long hiatus from the studio and the road, Byrne released his 4th studio album, Stealing Time. This project brought Byrne to Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield, UK, where he teamed up with folk legend Martin Simpson as producer. The album features instrumentation from some of the finest musicians on the English folk scene, including Nancy Kerr, Andy Cutting, and Liz Hanks. Stealing Time won two 2026 Canadian Folk Music Awards - Traditional Album of the Year and Traditional Singer of the Year. www.matthewbyrne.net

Big Little Lions are an award winning duo who were born out of a collaboration that won them a JUNO Award in 2014. Since then they have been cranking out infectious folk pop songs that are jam-packed with emotion and tight harmonies that sound like the product of two people working side-by-side instead of living in different countries.
They have released 7 albums to date, which have garnered them awards and nominations including the CFMA Ensemble of the Year, Independent Music Awards Americana Sing of the Year and John Lennon Songwriting Competition Song of the Year. Their critically acclaimed music has appeared on the CBC’s Top 20 and featured on shows like q and Vinyl Cafe. The duo consists of Paul Otten and Helen Austin, both hugely prolific songwriters - their music has been placed in hundreds of movie trailers, ads, network TV shows.
Their live show is quite the spectacle with Paul playing drums, bass and keyboard all while singing lead vocals. Helen, who is no slacker either, sings, plays guitar and foot percussion. They use every limb, and then some, to make two people sound like a full band. http://biglittlelions.com

Jeanne Truax, deriving from Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, will steal your heart when she steps on stage. Inspired by the contemporary sounds of The Beatles and Wanda Jackson, Jeanne’s rockabilly and roots flavoured performances will leave you coming back for more.
Jeanne has spent the last year crafting her high-energy “rock n roll” live show, but she has a few other tricks up her sleeve. Along with being an actor from a very young age, she grew up in a family full of musicians which led to her keen desire to writing music and has been doing so since she could talk!
Yet, Jeanne’s writing style varies from her rockabilly persona- while still adding a vintage touch, she blends Canadiana and Indie sounds with her unique voice and realist charm in her lyrics to create a modern pop sounding melody. With all this time writing, herself and her older brother, Nathan Truax, band together to create and release her debut single titled “I Know What You Like”. This track features beloved artists, Melissa Payne and Nicholas Campbell, as well as Nathan Truax who were all able to perfectly encapsulate a piece of Jeanne’s character.
Jeanne has received the 2025 Peterborough Folk Festival’s Emerging Artist Award and plans to see though her music journey, with bigger and better shows every time.
You don’t want to miss an opportunity to see her in action.” https://jeannetruax.com/
