Sometimes revolutions begin quietly.
In 1988, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise -- and it was compelling. It stood out in the midst of the flash and bombast that came to define the late 80's. The now classic recording combined folk, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before and went on to sell more than a million copies.
Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Margo Timmins on vocals, Peter Timmins on drums, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, the band has sparkled over the course of 29 albums. “I’ve known Alan longer than I’ve known Pete,” says Michael. “We were friends before Pete was born.”
Unlike most long-lasting groups, Cowboy Junkies have never had a break up or taken a sanity-saving hiatus. There’s an appreciation of each other that keeps them constantly working. “It’s that intimacy and understanding of what each one of us brings to the table,” says Michael. Cowboy Junkies’ will be performing a career-spanning show, including their new album, ‘Such Ferocious Beauty’, which was released worldwide on June 2, 2023 to universal critical acclaim. Check out Cowboy Junkies' website here.

Ndidi Onukwulu, (pronounced In-DEE-dee On-OOK-whoo-loo) professionally known as Ndidi O, is an award-winning Roots & Blues singer-songwriter. For nearly two decades she has carved out an adventurous career that deftly moves between soul, blues, contemporary roots, folk and Americana. A two-time JUNO award nominee, Ndidi has released six solo albums to date.
A force of nature from the wilds of British Columbia where she grew up, Ndidi is the daughter of a Nigerian father and a German mother. She represents a distinctly Canadian experience – standing astride lines blurred between contrasting cultures and heritages. Once she discovered her voice and collected a diverse range of sounds and styles, her talents took her to New York City, Toronto, Paris and Los Angeles. Her music, like her lineage, explores the globe while keeping ‘home’ at the centre of it all. Visit Ndidi O's website here.

JUNO Award-winning Grenadian-Canadian Kaia Kater's jazz-fueled voice and deft songcraft have garnered acclaim from NPR’s Tiny Desk, Rolling Stone and The Guardian. Through her artful banjo playing and lush songwriting, Kaia draws on influences rooted in Quebec, the Caribbean, and Appalachia, all of which reflect the diversity of her background; her ties to the Canadian folk music scene; her college years spent soaking up Appalachian music in West Virginia, her father’s experience growing up in Grenada, and her recent work in film composition.
Her new album, Strange Medicine (May 2024), celebrates the power of women and oppressed people, while also sharing meditations on her own life. Kaia is equally recognized for her film work, winning a Canadian Screen Award for 'The Porter' (CBC/BET+), and contributing to the new film, My Dead Friend Zoe (March 2024) as a songwriter and singer. Visit Kaia's website here.
Opening this show will be Mimi Dominique, a folk singer-songwriter born and raised in Toronto. She is inspired by the art of storytelling and the exploration of melodic play.

A global traveler, she has lived in Sweden and Montreal before moving back to Toronto to complete a songwriting program and her first album is due out in Summer of 2026. Visit Mimi's website here.

The Mi’kmaw were likely the first people that European explorer John Cabot met in 1497 on
the East Coast of what would come to be Atlantic Canada. That legacy of welcome, of
bridging two worlds, lives on in the songs and fiddling of Cape Breton’s breakout roots artist
Morgan Toney. With thousands of years of tradition behind him, Toney melds the Scottish
heritage of this Nova Scotian island with Mi’kmaq songs, stories, and language in his own
genre of music, “Mi’kmaltic,” meaning Mi’kmaq + Celtic. His new album, Heal the Divide
(released on March 7th, 2025 with Indigenous label Ishkōdé Records), recognizes the
dffiicult history the L’nuk (Mi’kmaq People) and all First Nations peoples have had in
Canada, but it also celebrates the L’nu legacy in Canadian culture. It’s part of Toney’s larger
vision to bring people together, to set our diWerences aside, and walk toward a place that
Toney calls the “Promised Land”.
Morgan Toney proudly welcomes the rest of Canada and the world to L’nu traditions as they
contain many universal teachings.
He is joined by fellow Musician(s) Keith Mullins on Guitar, Vocals, and Percussion and Ryan
Roberts on Mandolin and Vocals. Together, they have created a fusion of Culture, a Bridge
between two Worlds, and a path ahead for Truth and Reconciliation. Visit Morgan's website here.
Opening this show will be Graham Lindsey, who last graced our stage when he accompanied Jessica Pearson back in 2018. Since that time, he’s released two award-winning solo albums and is now working on his third. Graham writes inventive Celtic tunes and his dynamic stage presence will leave you smiling. Check out Graham’s website here.
