Geneviève RacetteCanadian Folk Music Awards recipient Geneviève Racette captivates listeners with her renowned lush voice and ethereal instrumentations. Renowned on the international folk scene, she collaborated on stage and in the studio with City and Colour, received praise from Tom Paxton (recipient of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award) for her single « Same Old Me » and accumulates over 5 million streams and numerous media appearances (Rolling Stone, CBC, Entertainment Tonight, etc.).
Over the past two years, accompanied by her two musicians, Geneviève has headlined over a hundred venues across Canada and the United States. Her next album "Golden" will be launched on October 18th, 2024, with a 40 + date tour.
Partly written in Nashville, the album transcends the artist's personal trials, offering a path to healing through music. Universal themes such as friendship, anxiety, social media pressure, sobriety and personal transformation are explored. Just like our Celine Dion, Geneviève uses her heartbreaks and emotions as catalysts for her songwriting, which is beautifully rendered by her delicate voice in a vulnerable way that touches the hearts of those who listen.

Abbie Thomas
Fresh off of her 2023 JMA Multi-Genre Artist of the Year award at The Grand Ole Opry, and a #3 iTunes R&B/Soul charting single, “Not Gonna Lie”, in September of 2024, Abbie Thomas is a rising singer songwriter and soul-pop/R&B recording artist who is gaining international attention and nominations for live performances, lyricism and visual content.
Mixing genre-bending arrangements with soulful vocals and hints of Blues, Jazz, and a vibe from the songwriters of the 70’s. She is currently touring regionally in midwest USA. Despite not being a country artist, she most recently opened for Clint Black, Laine Hardy, and Girl Named Tom for her vocal and lyrical prowess.
“Her songwriting resonates with a heartfelt relatability...sound steeped in authenticity and depictions of life’s peaks and valleys, in artfully melodic form.” - Mike Mineo, Obscure Sound
Influenced by artists such as Carole King, Lauryn Hill, John Mayer and Ella Fitzgerald, versatility has her playing acoustic listening rooms to clubs with her full backing band, recently dubbed ‘The Crazy Hearts’; who were just nominated for a 2023 Hollywood Independent Music Award for Best Live Performance for Thomas’ original, “Try”, and a 2024 nom for the JMA’s for their EP “Live from Ignition Garage”. Thomas just earned herself 3 new solo nominations for the 2024 JMA’s, as well (Vocalist of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Songwriter Achievement for “Crystal Ball”.)
Thomas' highly anticipated & fan-funded album, “Not Gonna Lie” released on 9/27/24, and has already accumulated over 115,000+ streams on all platforms - independently. Her rich vocals and universally relatable lyrical themes are creating a buzz, as she’s been dubbed “the next big thing” by Girl At The Rock Shows. You can stream Thomas’ music on all major streaming platforms.

Kylee Phillips
Kylee Phillips is a Michigan-native vocalist and songwriter of deeply self-exposing pop music. Armed with an arresting, emotive, laser-focused voice, and an unrivaled ear for hooks and melodic contour, Phillips has garnered cult-like acclaim in the midwest and beyond since her explosive debut EP Long Time Coming. The title is strangely apt, as Phillips was a beloved hidden gem in the Detroit scene for over a decade before materializing as a fresh face and urgent new presence in the indie/pop world.
Kylee’s anthemic, sonically dense songs alchemize the sincerity of a midwest heart with the prowess and unabashed indulgence usually reserved for coastal voices. Here listeners find the body-cleansing catharsis of femme-pop luminaries like Muna and Maggie Rogers, intertwined with the heartstring-pulling, hands-raised surrender of a worship conference. Every track makes equal space for the tears and the pulse-pounding we didn’t realize we needed so badly.
In a world with no shortage of self-help sad-babe pop, Phillips weaves together a sensual, articulate, and unpretentiously therapeutic soundtrack for the lives we live but can’t always verbalize. She lends us an experiential wisdom that could only come from a massive heart that’s seen a lot of garbage and emerged transformed and immovable.
