Alex MacNeil 

From Nova Scotia to the Yukon, Alex MacNeil has been a part of Canada’s DIY rock scene for ages.  His four-piece band, Alex MacNeil and The Revenants, brings a fresh, northern twist to indie rock and powerpop.  Their EP, Far Out Man (2025), blends ‘60s pop vibes with a punk edge, all wrapped in Alex’s clever lyrics and catchy melodies.  With Jess Van De Broek on keys, Matt Sarty on drums, and Dane Armstrong on bass, The Revenants offer a sound that’s both inviting and energetic.  Keep an ear out, Canada — this northern band is ready to make an impression.

Keziah

Music has always been a constant in Keziah’s life. Born in the Philippines and raised in Dawson City, she grew up surrounded by songs thanks to parents who loved singing in church choirs, community events, and even just around the house. That early spark turned into a full-blown love for music. “I just love how music brings people together and makes space for connection and reflection,” she says. With influences like soul, pop, R&B, and a bit of folk, Keziah enjoys performing renditions of cherished songs and writing originals about love, loss, and hope.

Dena Zagi

Dennis Shorty began writing songs in his language, Kaska, in 2009.  That same year, Shorty and his partner, Jennifer Frohling AKA Jenny, started a band.  Together they are Dena Zagi, which means “people’s voice” in the Kaska language.  Through vocals, guitar, traditional drum, and First Nation flute, their combined talents create a traditional-contemporary duo sharing lyrics about the land, animals, ancestors, traditions, and respect.  They’ve played in various venues throughout Canada and Germany, encouraging young people to preserve their language through music.  Their album, Gucho Hin (2017), was nominated for an Indigenous Music Award and a Canadian Folk Music Award.

Hendrika

Hendrika is a force to be reckoned with.  The Yukon musician and multi-instrumentalist’s love for many genres has led to a versatile and unique collection of original material that pushes the boundaries of modern music.  Her magnetic live show has toured across Canada, gracing festival stages with intricate melodies grounded by folk roots, classic rock riffs, and soaring vocals that leave audiences captivated.  After the release of her EP, I Can’t Remember (2024), Hendrika was featured on Exclaim!’s Emerging Canadian Artists You Need to Hear while her song, “You’ve Got Gold”, was included in CBC’s Top 100 Canadian Songs of the year.

Miranda Ceara & The Odd Fellows Orchestra

Miranda Ceara & The Odd Fellows Orchestra reimagine the sounds of prewar jazz, blues, and calypso, weaving them together to create a uniquely modern cabaret noir.  Seamlessly blending influences from early 1900s world music, arrangements of brass, strings, and rhythm are tied together by Ceara’s haunting songwriting and vocal delivery.  Their self-titled, debut EP was released in 2024 and the orchestra is already working to create a full-length album of original songs for 2025.  With extensive tour history throughout Ontario and Quebec, this vivacious ensemble is a diverse group of well-seasoned musicians with an eclectically dynamic sound.

Caleb Tomlinson and The Perseids

Caleb Tomlinson is a singer-songwriter based in Whitehorse, Yukon performing beautifully crafted, lyrically driven, alt-country and folk music.  His songs are distinctly rooted in place: haunting harmonies and textured strings weave rich stories through the seasons and landscapes of the north and the west coast.  While creating a sound all his own, you’ll hear echoes of Jason Molina and John K. Samson.
