OPEN-HEARTED
THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
From the muddy swamps of Quadra island bequeaths this dreamy trio. Three Sheets To The Wind is an acoustic collaboration of songwriters featuring Kristi Hawkes, Shandra Matson and Banjoe. Presenting their stories through an array of delightfully crafted acoustic musical arrangements. Together collectively creating a poetic and somber creation of sound and space.
NASTI WEATHER
Nasti Weather, true to her allusion, comes in many forms but you can usually hear her coming by the haunting heartfelt howls or those underbelly bellows backed by the simple strumming of her banjo and whoever takes the stage with her that day. Driven by a sound that might resemble jazz, rock, some kind of folk or the blues depending on the setting, song and company; her lyrics carry with them a catharsis, a well lit darkness and a little white flag you can wave to yourself.
EARSLUG
In the early 70s, after the hippie wave broke and rolled back, guitar-wielding teenagers turned their amps to 11 and cranked out some of the thickest riffs that the world had ever heard. Unfortunately, after a few short years most of these bands broke up and faded into obscurity. Earslug is a trio from Cumberland playing a mixture of original songs and lesser known track safe-trading.org.my s from this mostly forgotten era. It will be loud. Bring your earplugs.

DAEMON & AIRDRIE
Daemon & Airdrie are an electronic “ghost pop” duo from BC, Canada who combine intensely emotional, interweaving vocal lines with relaxed, minimalbeats and sparse instrumentation to produce soundscapes that are as haunting as they are seductive. Choosing to abandon laptop-based production, the duo create and perform their material using samplers, live instruments and an arsenal of vintage gear, analog tape effects, spring verbs and dusty old tubes. The result? A unique sound that bridges earth and wire – a place where electricity meets and dances with the naked, human body
