Denver Venoit
Denver Venoit, known in these parts as Ole Man Kidd, lassos lonesome tunes from the heavens that’ll rattle your spurs and splash cold water on your face. Hailing from up north in The Yukon, Denver began touring across North America as a drummer, acquiring an unquenchable taste for travel along the way. He caught the blues the day his best friend died in his arms in a house fire in Montreal, and he has been wearing a cowboy hat and writing Folk, Country, Blues songs ever since.
The howl of the bottleneck slide Denver coaxes from his steel guitar replicates a lovesick longing authenticated by his roving. He’s sung his songs to the wide open airs of the Yukon tundra, the Mojave desert, and the Saskatchewan plains, where he spent a season’s after season’s as a bison ranch hand. Ole Man Kidd’s music is steeped in a sepia hue and shows a dedication to reflecting the tearful truths of both personal and common history.

Sam Singer
Where The Rivers Do, set to be released independently on June 4, 2024, is the 25-year-old Singer’s first collection of new music since his 2022 EP From the Hills, Beaten Roads, Down to the Trees. The album was recorded live in a cabin in Matlock, Manitoba in a single day – July 4, 2023 – with Micah Erenberg (The Secret Beach) engineering and producing. “We just really love America,” Singer says.
Written throughout 2022 during travels to Vancouver and Los Angeles, and at home in Winnipeg, Where The Rivers Do is music inspired by distance, as always an exploration of Singer’s relationship to the vocabulary of classical folk traditions: wandering, searching, and finding.

The Prairie Joggers
Blending warm electric guitar, raw vocals and dampened drums, the Joggers form a thick vintage sound that cushions their bleak but not entirely hopeless lyrical themes. What the band lacks in bells and whistles they make up for with a sincere sense of nostalgia that agrees with their charismatic live performances and minimalistic approach to instrumentals.

Colton O’Reilly
Solo late-night campfire soul songs from I am of the Mountain singer-songwriter. Capturing the earnestness of his early folk songs before they morphed into luxurious still-life soulful jazz-rock songs.
