Burnstick
Burnstick is a Canadian folk music duo forged from passion and unfiltered emotion, where two voices become one powerful musical force. Anchored by the resonant Weissenborn lap slide guitars of Plains-Cree guitarist Jason Burnstick and the rich, poetic songwriting and harmonies of francophone-Métis vocalist Nadia Burnstick, their sound is at once cinematic and intimate. Drawing from a decade of life lived fully, as partners in both art and life, their music carries stories of love, loss, belonging, and the sacred ties that shape who we are. Guided by a fearless creative spirit and unafraid to push boundaries, Burnstick creates soul-stirring landscapes that challenge listeners to feel deeply and reflect inward. Backed by their drummer, Nadia and Jason perform deeply resonant music that always strikes a chord with audiences. JUNO-nominated and critically acclaimed, they stand not only as musicians but as storytellers of heart and human connection.

Two Crows for Comfort
Two time MCMA Roots Duo/Group of the Year, Two Crows for Comfort, are a touring folk/Americana duo from the prairie wonderland of Manitoba, Canada. Playing well over one hundred shows each year, these troubadours spend most of their time on the road in a 20 foot camper with their 90 pound rescue dog, Elliot. They’ve become known for not only their powerful lead vocals, intricate harmonies and unique arrangements but also their comedic yet poignant storytelling and off-the-cuff stage banter that has folks smiling long after the night is over.
They've been seen at festivals across Canada, the US, Europe and the UK including the Winnipeg Folk Festival (MB), Maverick Americana Festival (UK), Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival (TX), Black Bear Americana Festival (CT), and the Blueberry Festival (AK) and have opened for the likes of Bruce Cockburn, Ani DiFranco, David Amram, and Pokey LaFarge.
Amidst their relentless touring schedule they have written and recorded three full length albums, the most recent titled 'Next to Me'. The duo is currently working on their 4th album.
