Stephen Stanley
Singer-songwriter Stephen Stanley may most immediately be known as a founding member, lead guitarist and vocalist with Toronto’s Lowest of the Low. The groups “genuinely timeless album” (Exclaim!), Shakespeare My Butt..., earned gold record status and saw the band share stages with the likes of Billy Bragg, The Violent Femmes, amongst many others. Stephen ultimately, had his own mark and music to make and The Stephen Stanley Band became his focus. He’s logged monumental shows with the likes of, 54•40, Bob Mould, Cracker, Lee Ann Womak, Jake Clemons, Willie Nile, The Jayhawks, and Lloyd Cole. He’s played festival stages in Germany, and toured across the UK and Ireland. The band’s most recent album, Before The Collapse Of The Hive (Wolfe Island Records) is brimming with raw, unflinching urgency, steadfast observation and soul-searching storytelling that highlights Stephen’s immediate world: those he loves, and those he’s lost.

Jennifer Foster
Toronto singer-songwriter Jennifer Foster brings her brand new album Powerline to Silence Sounds. Praised by Ron Sexsmith as “a wonderful collection of songs,” Powerline is an acoustic-driven folk-pop record inspired in part by the New Brunswick farm where she grew up, with songs about place, memory, love and loss that are both meaningful and musically surprising. Foster is one of those rare artists who feels instantly familiar yet entirely her own. Her warm, melodic folk-pop carries a ’70s sensibility with welcome gusts of rock and roll, while her natural storytelling makes any room she plays feel more like a living room.
Powerline marks Foster’s fourth release. Her previous album earned a JUNO nomination for Producer of the Year (Michael Phillip Wojewoda), and she has collaborated across the Canadian music community with artists including Ron Sexsmith, Carole Pope, Lori Cullen, Kevin Hearn, Moe Berg and The Pursuit of Happiness.You might also recognize her from five seasons singing as a Jazzagal on TV’s "Schitt's Creek".
