There are folks in this world that not only share their music, but share their story, too. Stage banter that catches your attention and keeps you locked in.

Over the years we have supported countless shows and each one is special in it's own way. We've discovered new talents that are learning to find their voice, both musically and otherwise - and it draws us in, because we know a listening ear is one simple way to help an artist feel supported.

Phone down, eyes up.

We've enjoyed veteran musicians who share tales from the road with eyes filled with light and passion for what they do. Like getting wrapped up in an old quilt, their stories and songs comforting us in profound ways.

Both experience, powerful and the connective tissue that binds us to music, story, community and song.

Music and motion - the two go together like hand in hand. 🤝

When we stand back and watch artists performing in public spaces, some folks stop to eagerly take it all in. We observe some that turn the head for a split second, share a smile, and keep on moving. And others, unknowingly lost in a deep thought, moving forward, never stopping, as the music creates a soundtrack for that moment in time. Children beg their parents to stop and dance for a moment. A corporate blue-suit throws a toonie in the guitarists bag.

Time stands still, for one beautiful moment.
