Listen Up Elora is an event for listening. Artists wear their hearts on their sleeves, and the audience willingly receives.About this Event
Blending a foundation in roots music with a curiosity for the undiscovered, songwriter Nolan Gibson creates music that is grounded in tradition, yet embraces the present times we live in. Nolan's eclectic voice and guitar playing allow him to blur genre lines, and his lyrics will make you smile, laugh, cry, roll your eyes, and most importantly, feel.
In his 14-year career, Nolan has had the pleasure of opening for Canadian legend David Wilcox and traditional folk torch bearers Ian Bell and Lotus Wight. He has played on countless stages as his own artist as well as a support musician to his musical peers in a multitude of genres and styles. He looks forward to sharing his craft on a stage near you!

The voice of Rick St. Clair resonates with the weight of a heart-worn and weathered soul. His songs reflect on life’s joys and hardships, and give voice to quiet truths. His musical sensibilities take root in the introspective lyricism of yesteryear’s folk, and the melancholic melodies of country and blues. Rick weaves a sonic tapestry of his own.
Rick has quietly honed his craft over the years, writing songs in the confines of solitude. His debut performance took place at the storied Mariposa Folk Festival on July 5th and 6th, 2025 – a milestone that marked the beginning of his outward musical journey.
On January 17th, 2026, Rick released his song Wildflowers, a deeply personal piece inspired by the physical and spiritual medicine found in wildflowers. His lyrics reflect on the harmony between land, people, and his Red River Métis identity.
When not performing or recording his music, Rick gives back to the community by hosting a concert series titled Listen Up, dedicated to fostering a space for emerging artists to perform for audiences who truly listen.
