Sarah Botelho - Sarah Botelho is a seventeen year old singer-songwriter from the town of Ancaster, Ontario. Her highschool goes by the name of Bishop Tonnos Catholic Secondary and she participates regularly in its musical events. She sang her first real note at nine years old at her grandparents’ anniversary party. The piano is her favourite method of tuning the world out; she could shut her eyes and be there for hours without noticing anything else.  Her musical influences have tremendously increased recently, including ridiculously talented acts like Laura Marling, Queen, The National, Florence and the Machine, Mumford & Sons, Radiohead, Nirvana, The Cure, The Vaccines, City & Colour and Emily Haines.  Her favourite shade of the rainbow is red and she has an obsession with Marilyn Monroe. Sarah recently released her first album The Bridge is Breaking last year, which is available at Chapters – Ancaster.  She is currently writing music again for all the lovely people out there.
Allotrope – With a sensibility somewhere between U2 and Led Zeppelin, along with a little Stevie Wonder, Nine Inch Nails, and Bare Naked Ladies thrown in for good measure, it can be a bit of a challenge describing what ALLOTROPE, this young 6 piece band from Hamilton, actually sounds like. However rather than letting their diverse influences stand in their way, these guys have managed to make it one of their biggest strengths, along with their engaging live show, and the high level of musicianship they bring to their art. Always entertaining, they can currently be seen and heard playing around the Hamilton area.

Red Sky Morning – Whether it be their well-traveled solo careers or their work with Ontario indie-band “Wind Broken Stones”, Jason Moir and Jarod Parlee have been writing and performing songs together for more than 12 years.  With their latest project, “Red Sky Morning”, they are bringing it back to where it all began on the shores of Lorimer Lake in Northern Ontario all those years ago.  Broken down to the most necessary parts, they are performing only their very oldest and very newest songs as well as a few favourite covers.  Raw, acoustic versions of songs that are distilled down to two acoustic guitars and two microphones;  this project is all about grit and storytelling.
