CLARE TWIDDY
Clare Twiddy is a Vancouver-based artist who blends pop, rock, R&B and electronic music; personifying a dark heart with the soul of an optimist. Performing with a 5-piece band, their live shows are dynamic and heartfelt - with a touch of magic.
In 2021 she released her debut singles, produced with Cam Blake, including “New Devastation” which landed a sync placement with Volkswagen. Clare’s album “NOPE”, produced with Kyle Ohori, showcases grimy bass tones and dense vocal harmonies, has received over 130K streams since its release in 2023.
Clare first gained attention for her powerful voice, performing hundreds of shows across Canada and the U.S. She collaborated with Rare Americans across the RA2 album, including the track “Knives, Guns, and Bed,” which has over 1.8 million YouTube views.
In 2025 Clare Twiddy performed at stages across Vancouver and at Phillips Backyard Music Festival. She will release several singles in 2026 alongside her album Midnight Witch which is set to release in the Fall.

TESS ANDERSON
After nearly a decade of chasing sounds that didn’t quite fit, Vancouver-based Tess Anderson found clarity in the chaos of alt-rock. Channeling both defiance and vulnerability, she fronts a powerhouse band known for high-octane, emotionally charged performances. Inspired by acts like Paramore and Nothing But Thieves, her music strikes a collision between gritty distortion and glossy pop hooks.
Her 2024 debut album Before I Come Unhinged is a visceral dive into self-reclamation and breaking toxic cycles. With over 200,000 streams to date, it’s earned features in Billboard Music Canada and Exclaim!, along with national airplay on CBC. A relentless live performer, Tess recently wrapped up her first Western Canada headline tour, opened for Canadian heavy-hitters Mother Mother, and secured slots at major festivals across British Columbia.
