GRAVEN & THE NEW BAND (Ottawa Folk Rock)
Graven is the ongoing alt-country/folk project of Matt McKechnie. THE NEW BAND, comprised of a wild, rotating and circus-like band of hyper-talented individuals back this talented singer songwriter. 

WELCOME THE GHOST (Ottawa indie)
Hailing from Ottawa and featuring past and present members of Amos The Transparent. They are playing their first full band show since releasing their debut record - What’s Left Of The Rest Of Us earlier this year. For Fans of Alt Country Rock/Americana

CRYSTALENA (Ott Alternative Folk/Rock Singer - Songwriter)
“[Crystalena’s] voice is soaked in honey and grit. It will caress you sweetly but that touch won’t hold back the claws when the music needs to slice.” - Andre Gagne [Ottawa Life Magazine]

She wears her heart on her sleeve equipped with a vocal canvass that contains the deep blues of heartbreak with splashes of vibrant reds when her mood shifts into something animalistic. Her fiery thought-provoking lyrics look to address a range of complex topics, from social issues to the struggles and successes of self-empowerment. When fuelling her compositions to a larger project, she is backed by a band of indomitable musicians. Crystalena and her band family leap forward impulsively, with fire, with grit, with passion, together in fusing a dark Canadiana soul that blends musical styles into an experimental terrain that no listener has heard before.
