2EZ
All Girl Chill
All Girl Chill are a 3 piece all girl band from Saskatoon SK. We write our own songs, and we explore the genres of rock, country, bluegrass, and singer-songwriter music. We formed this band in 2012 and have been through many ups and downs in terms of raising children, marriages, divorces, and still maintaining a tight friendship throughout the years. Our unique brand of entertainment fuses guitars and ukulele together with tight 3 vocal harmonies, high energy dances moves, and witty stage banter that will make you want to dance all night long!
BLACKSTRAP MOUNTAINEERS
CUPID'S HEART
Cupid’s Heart is your new favourite Prince Albert power trio belting poetic and moody lyrics amidst cello, electric guitar, and drums. Described as Chrissie Hynde Pretenders vibes with a pinch of Nirvana, alternative rock fits them like a baggy sweater. An electrifying stage presence and grungy realness sets this band apart.
Enderby
These four started their musically journey together after math homework and basketball practices jamming at one member’s dad’s reggae/dad rock/psychedelic/dad rock band jam space. After delving into the deepest, darkest corners of punk and ska and putting on shows for the rowdy locals, they decide to take things in another direction. Enderby leans more towards alt-country and indie rock, but still with an emphasis on doing most things DIY.
FORMER LOVERS
Former Lovers are a new band of old friends, originally hailing from Prince Albert/Saskatoon, SK. Coming from a small town, they share in making a big sound. With driving rhythm, ethereal guitar stylings and catchy hooks you'll be singing long after the next show, you certainly don't want to miss this.
Consisting of bandmates LJ Tyson (vocals), Cale Hretsina (drums), Kayanna Wirtz (vocals,bass) and Colin Klassen (guitar), all names you've seen around the Saskatchewan music scene, Former Lovers has already been called 'almost a supergroup'.
Drawing inspiration from 90's teen centric rom-coms, you dad's record collection and topics that make dinner at your grandparents uncomfortable. This crew is sure to wow you with an energetic show as they draw you in with catchy melodies and angsty anthems you'll wanna belt out on that familiar drive into Saskatoon, and the world beyond.

This early success paved the way for Halle's debut album, "Is This What Real Life Is?", which further showcased her songwriting skills and also found its way onto the airwaves.
HOTDOG! BLUEGRASS
HEARTSTRINGS
Heartstrings albums are convincing and enjoyable. All the musicians are highly skilled, Nygren's voice remains a beautiful siren song that has the power to make you stop what you're doing and stare at your speakers, and The Heartstrings are clearly in their element while creating their trademark rootsy sound.' Planet S Mag. 5 piece super-alt-country-roots group, Heartstrings consist of some of Saskatoon's greatest bands, including members of The Cracker Cats, The Deep Dark Woods, and Old Joe and The Truth Hurts. Featuring guitar, upright bass, banjo, pedal steel, percussion, and vocals with beautiful female and male harmonies. Collectively, they have played hundreds of shows and festivals across Canada and Europe. The Heartstrings are fronted by Melissa Nygren and Eliza Doyle. The combination of Melissa's classic sweet vocal's, trade-mark guitar style and Eliza's impressive banjo picking and stage presence will leave you wanting more. These intelligent and experienced prairie songstresses have never hesitated to spread their music to audiences in a journey that's taken them from the back porch to big stages in more than a decade of writing, performing and collaborating. Since it's release on Sept. 6, 2007, the Heartstrings first full-length album has gained much deserved popularity. This collection of upbeat country tunes and dramatic eerie ballads is a colourful display of Melissa Nygren's original creations. "These heart-warming, nostalgic, and organic gems will take you forward and back in time." Their second album (2009), In A Land Far Away That Is Fair, is a great landscape of rolling harmonies, and powerful lyrics combined with intertwined melodies. There are several messages within the songs. Some about life on the prairies and others about the environmental and other issues our world is now facing. Both of these albums are essential to any roots lover's collection. An organic brand of alt-country-roots music is what the Heartstrings deliver. Whether you are listening to the albums or catching their live shows, be prepared to have your heart warmed and your imagination enlightened.

RAVEN REID
Indigenous folk singer songwriter Raven Reid was born in Yellowknife, NWT with
genealogical ties to Mikisew First Nation, Alberta. She started writing short stories at the
age of 6 and taught herself how to play the guitar in later years. As a self-taught
musician, turning her poems and short stories into music was a natural progression into
becoming the performer that she is today.
Influenced by times of oppression and racism towards Indigenous people who were
displaced as children by the Canadian Government, her music reflects with raw emotion,
the very real experiences she has had in her life with love, hate, depression, happiness
and growing up away from her biological family and community as part of the 60’s
Scoop. Raven also sings about the generational trauma that many Indigenous families
must battle with following policies implemented by the Government to assimilate the
Indigenous people of Canada.
After growing up in Prince Albert, SK with her adoptive family, Raven now lives in
Saskatoon, SK with her two children, Elias and Willow. As a full-time performer, she has
travelled to various music festivals in her home province such as Ness Creek, Dog Patch
Music Festival, Doylefest, Waskesiu Lakeside Music Festival, and more to share her
stories through song. Raven is also an accomplished public speaker and has been
invited to share her life experiences with schools, women’s summits, and sixties scoop
survivor conventions.
Raven was recently signed with record label Merilainen Music Inc. and travelled to
Toronto to record her upcoming EP Changes with 8 of her original songs with producer
and fellow musician, Marc Merilainen to be released in spring of 2024.
“I believe that adversity can make us stronger and teach us lessons. I also believe that
we are all here for a purpose and everything happens for a reason. I want to encourage
you to find yours. Many Blessings!” - Raven Reid
