SUMMARY:Martin Kerr
DESCRIPTION:Biography\n\n\n\n\nMartin Kerr sings what you’re thinking.   A folk troubadour for the post-truth age\, his outspoken and poetic takes are connecting with millions of listeners around the world.  He blends the urgent issues of the day with deeply personal narratives\, in honest and nostalgic folk arrangements that invite you to sing along. \nExplosive growth on social media has seen him reach over 50 million people in just the last 2 months\, with his controversial rewrites of classic songs like God Rest Ye Merry Billionaires\, Away In Bomb Shelters\, and What’s Up America? being adopted as anthems for justice and democracy.  Making waves with his captivating live performances\, he’s opened for Dermot Kennedy\, Walk Off The Earth\, Blue Rodeo and The Strumbellas\, and played festival stages across North America. \nMartin honed his live show through 15 years as a street-performer\, visiting 35 countries. In 2022 he signed with Nettwerk Records and released a flurry of new work\, including his latest EP\, After The Apocalypse. \nProducers Ben Cramer (Old Sea Brigade) and Owen Lewis (Snow Patrol\, Willie Nelson) lend Kerr’s sound new depth – somewhere between James Taylor and Radiohead\, tackling themes romantic and apocalyptic\, laced with his dry British humour. \n“It’s incredible to see people singing my songs around the planet\, raising their voices together\, calling for peace\, truth and justice. I hope you sing along and feel you’re not the only one.” said Martin. \nWith his following snowballing by the day\, 2026 promises to be a breakout year for Martin Kerr\, with another new album on the way\, and new adventures on the horizon.

SUMMARY:Awakeneers
DESCRIPTION:Awakeneers\nTimeless contemporary folk music. \n\nA nomadic tribe of multi-instrumentalist songwriters (most of whom are siblings) the Awakeneers offer a genre-bending blend of acoustic positivity that orbits elliptically around the idea of folk music.\nSegueing from a foot-stomping fiddle tune to a hip-hop guide to mindfulness\, or a meditative love song to Mother Earth\, their music centres around honest vocals with rich harmonies and diverse acoustic instrumentation.\nSince their early days as small-town buskers this unique musical family has toured North America and Europe by sailboat and by van\, playing for folk clubs\, festivals\, ecovillages\, and congregations of all faiths.

SUMMARY:Rube & Rake
DESCRIPTION:  \nBio:\n\n Rube & Rake is an award-winning folk music duo based in St. John’s\, Newfoundland and Labrador. Josh Sandu and Andrew Laite\, natives of Canada’s West Coast and East Coast respectively\, sing about a 21st century Canadian experience\, unconfined by a single region or musical style. Their original songs reflect on the nature of home\, the passage of time\, and the spaces where aspiration and obligation intersect. The Rube & Rake live performance combines musical precision and sensitive vocals with the pair’s approachability and easygoing humour. They have released three full-length albums\, most recently Good Time After Bad in 2025.
