SoundCrowd, Toronto’s first large-scale contemporary a cappella ensemble, is the brainchild of Artistic Director, Scott Pietrangelo. The group made its debut in 2016 alongside former Barenaked Ladies front-man Steven Page at the Danforth Music Hall. Since then, they have been featured on a national TV show (The Social), created viral music videos, performed with other notable Toronto-based groups (Cadence, Countermeasure, Retrocity), sang backup for Jonathan Antoine (Britain's Got Talent), opened for Disney's a cappella sensation DCappella, and performed at Carnegie Hall with choirs from around the world under the direction of Deke Sharon (Pitch Perfect, The Sing Off). SoundCrowd released its long-awaited debut album "All Voice No Limits" in 2023, and will be performing their next concert, "Back to Broadway: Live" at the Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto on June 1, 2024. Tickets available at soundcrowd.ca.
Lunar Bloom is comprised of Brittany Rae Robinson, Kelly McNamee & Jocelyn Regina. Their music is rooted in the folk genre and features complex vocal harmonies. They embrace harmonic tension and rhythms that challenge expectations. Their debut self-titled EP was nominated for an Independent Music Award in the Folk/Roots Category and single "Sweater" made it to the Top 100 in CBC's Searchlight Competition. Their single "Monster" has been featured on CBC's Fresh Air and received a shout-out from Jim Cuddy. The trio has written over 30 songs, showcased twice at Folk Music Ontario and their recently released debut album “Running Deep” was released in 2022 and received airplay across Canada, making #6 in the charts on CFBX.

The 2012 Canadian Beatbox Champion Scott Jackson lives in a world built by sounds. A door hinge's squeaky creak, a snare drum's darting snap, a helicopter's chopping blades; these are the intricacies he has made his craft. A finalist on Canada's Got Talent, Scott's verbal wizardry is as captivating as it is unusual.
