The Strumbellas
Saturday, May 16 @ 9:00 pm
The Strumbellas know that misery loves company, and that if we’re together, even in dark times, there’s some joy in that. Their songs of suffering and celebration date back to their 2012 debut My Father And The Hunter, and the band have obsessively chased big hooks, group vocal exuberance, and folk-rock propulsion through their 2016 breakthrough Hope to 2024’s Part Time Believer. The Juno and iHeartRadio Music Award-winning group’s new song Hard Lines gives listeners an urgent, new take on their iconic mix of intimate feelings with stadium folk sounds.
Determined to use every tool in their arsenal to write a good song, The Strumbellas started by looking inward: random song titles, non-sequitur ideas, scraps of paper, and voice memos of half-sung melodies came from everyone in the band. From their home in Toronto, they reached out to favourite collaborators — songwriters and producers in Vancouver, Nashville, LA, and beyond — to create demos that ranged from campfire-chord whispers to radio-ready productions. The group then connected with producer Chad Copelin (LANY, Sasha Sloan, Colony House), and headed for his studio in Norman, Oklahoma. Copelin’s finely honed sonic instincts bring out a newly textured, insistently edgy side to The Strumbellas’ alt-folk stomp.
Tony Stevens
Saturday, May 16 @ 7:30 pm
From humble beginnings in church music teams to the electrifying stages of the Canadian country music scene, Tony Stevens has carved out a niche all his own.

Now, with his latest release, “Whiskey In Colorado,” hitting the #8 spot on the Canadian music charts, Tony is showing no signs of slowing down. Known for his dynamic live performances and heartfelt connection with audiences, Tony’s music resonates with listeners on a deep and personal level. His upcoming projects promise to push the boundaries even further, with lyrics that cut to the core and music that speaks to the soul. As Tony Stevens continues to break barriers and redefine the country music landscape, one thing is clear: his star is on the rise, and there’s no telling where his musical journey will take him next. Keep your ears tuned and your hearts open—this is just the beginning of something truly special.
