From Halifax, Nova Scotia via hockey-stick making Hespeler, Ontario, Thomas Stajcer’s ECMA-nominated debut is a country & western tour of doubt and regret that culminates in the ultimate question: Will I Learn To Love Again? Opening with the slow-burning, violin-infused ballad “Love Me Now (Or Never Again),” the album picks up with the late-night two-stepping “Salesman” before driving full steam ahead with the high-octane ripper “In the Long Run.” Classic country sounds and themes dominate the LP, harkening the sneer, whimsy, and frankness of outlaw country pioneers such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Hank Williams Jr. These influences blend with touches of rock n’ roll on tracks such as “Any Old Road” and the album’s raucous closer, “How Long Could I Wait?.” As with the best country records and performers, vibrant storytelling is on full display throughout, shining bright on the introspective “Wildfires,” the pining title track, and in the voice of the Dukes of Hazzard-esque narrator (Mike Trask) on “Sad Cowboy.” Recorded live off the floor at Joel Plaskett’s New Scotland Yard (where Stajcer is the in-house engineer), the album features two tracks – “Love Me Now (Or Never Again)” and “Wildfires” – co-written with the East Coast icon. Assembling a host of seasoned backup musicians to bring these songs to life, Will I Learn To Love Again? is true to the big band live show that garnered Stajcer a nomination for Country Artist of the Year in The Coast’s 2017 and 2018 Best of Music Reader’s Polls. The year prior, Thomas Stajcer attended the Gordie Sampson Song Camp and has co-written with some of Nova Scotia’s most talented songwriters including Dylan Guthro, Dave Sampson, Steven MacDougall (Slowcoaster), Laurenn Marchand, Campbell Woods, Eric Stephen Martin, and – of course – Joel Plaskett. https://www.facebook.com/thomasstajcermusic

Quote the Raven took home MusicNL's 2019 award for Group of the year. To say that St. John’s based folk duo struck pay-dirt with their impactful and haunting debut album Golden Hour would be an understatement. The ever-progressing musical duo of Jordan Coaker and Kirsten Rodden-Clarke have become one of the must-watch folk acts in all of Canada. The lead-off single “Laser Beam” has garnered over 200,000 streams on Spotify, with the pair earning both critical and commercial praise alongside numerous accolades and high-profile engagements. Fans eagerly await their sophomore studio album, which no doubt will continue the duos streak of bewitching audiences, and listeners, with soulful and impactful ballads.

Genre: Contempory/Trad/Percusive Dance
Described as “a true original” by the Guardian, spellbindingly innovative musician and dancer Hannah James has been one of the key figures in the revival of English percussive dance in recent years
Their music is soulful, original and conversational. The combination of accordion and cello allows for a huge palette of sounds and textures which lift James’s pure voice and deeply honest songwriting. In the next breath they switch to choppy rhythms and joyful interplay between cello and percussive dance. This duo deliver a diverse, playful and hugely original performance.
From soft introspection to frenzied, bluesy, interpretations, Max Marshall gives audiences a heartfelt, personal performance, featuring a guitar style that is largely underexposed.
Home Routes Show: To call Canada your home can be a very vague statement. From the Rockies, all the way to the eastern shores of the Atlantic, there are many places one can lay their head. It’s not only the sheer distance between the two coasts, it’s the cultural differences that exist within them. Rube & Rake’s debut album, Back and Forth, explores this theme with a subtle grace, giving space in their arrangements to explore the issues they sing about. By performing as a two-piece, they’ve found a way to put an emphasis on their lyrical delivery. Whether a song is performed with a four-piece string band, or just a banjo and a guitar, the duo has stories to tell. https://youtu.be/9rZw26a4xR8

Review: I’m a believer! Nadine and Sammy channel the old guys. What a fascinating collection of songs and tunes! And their presentation is so entertaining, done comfortably yet masterfully by this couple. They suckered me in, that’s for sure. Nadine’s piercing country voice is perfect for every style she sings here. I believe in her when she’s a 19th Century swamp girl singing cajun songs, I believe in her when she charms me with her playful classic country songs. And Sammy, it doesn’t matter which instrument he plays here, I get goosebumps with each tune. It’s going to be quite a while before this album is matched. - Bill Martin, Bubbaville, Portland, OR
Nadine Landry and Stephen “Sammy” Lind play traditional fiddle music that has been passed on for hundreds of years, classics of the south west Louisiana Cajun dance halls and songs that could have filled a 50s smoky bar jukebox. Alternating between fiddle, banjo, guitar and accordion they play true to the roots of American music with energy and respect. They are members of the Foghorn Stringband the Cajun Country Revival and have collaborated with countless musicians in the old time, cajun and bluegrass worlds.
