About the artists:
ROAD WAVES
Experience the sonic adventure that is Road Waves; a dynamic ensemble seamlessly melding the raw energy of rock, the groove of funk, and the sophistication of jazz into an electrifying genre-defying fusion. Conceived a decade ago by visionary front man Ji Sharp, the band has swiftly ascended as a tour de force in the realm of live performances. This fiery unit has a deep bond with their audience, with each performance delivering an energetic and emotional experience that captivates and energizes listeners. Their live shows skillfully mix precision and spontaneity, creating a memorable experience that lingers long after the music ends.
Their discography is marked by ingenuity and a relentless pursuit of musical excellence, with two critically acclaimed independent albums: The Lighthouse (2015) and Red Sun Rising (2018). Their artistic prowess shines through in popular singles "Hometown" (2022), "Small World" (2022), and the most recent "Frog Rock" (2023), each track underscoring their diverse capabilities and steadfast dedication.
Road Waves has been a revelation entrancing audiences across North America for the better part of a decade with their unbeatable spirit and musical flair. They invite you on an intimate and thrilling journey with every song, leaving an indelible impression on all who partake.

THE HONEYRUNNERS
The Honeyrunners are a Northern take on Southern Soul – hot-blooded and rife with the poetry of heartache. The energy of this indie Toronto band is undeniable on stage and on record; a style of music for fans of Americana acts like Alabama Shakes, Nathaniel Rateliff, and The Allman Brothers.
"Let it burn. It’s the ashes that I admire." A taunt from the title track of The Honeyrunners' debut album, Everything Is On Fire, released on Canadian roots label Gypsy Soul Records and finding its way onto playlists and radio stations across the world. The band's body of work aims to disrobe a culture of apathy – a sentiment that everything is always on fire, with nothing to do but watch. The album is a stark reminder of why your presence is needed in times like these.
The band (toting twelve members for larger shows) is fronted by Ottawa-born singer-songwriter Dan Dwoskin (keys, lead vocals) and Canadian-Peruvian audio-engineer/producer, Guillermo Subauste (bass, vocals). Newer additions to the lineup include the soulful Conor Gains (electric guitar, vocals) and the talented Daniel McLean (drums, vocals).
The Honeyrunners have been lucky to share stages with friends and mentors including The Sadies, The Trews, The Beaches, U.S.S., Five Alarm Funk, My Son The Hurricane, Skye Wallace, Samantha Martin, Philip Sayce, Nick Waterhouse, King Khan, and many more over the years.

JOLIE SMITH
Introducing the talented Jolie Smith, also known as "JoJo" to her nearest and dearest. With a voice that resonates from the depths of her soul, it's no wonder she leaves listeners spellbound. At only 22 years young, JoJo is an old soul who transports her audience to a bygone era with her nostalgic and familiar sound, reminiscent of legends Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake. But don't be fooled by her vintage vibes; JoJo's music is a breath of fresh air that defies current trends.
As soon as you hear JoJo's celestial vocals paired with her exceptional acoustic guitar skills, you'll be hooked like the rest of her fans. Her music has a way of captivating crowds wherever she goes. Without a doubt, she's a rising star.
