Tift
Merritt
Currently heading the
Americana
radio chart with her new record Another Country, and
beating off opposition such as Robert Plant and Alison
Krause, Tift Merritt can do no wrong. She’s recently
won Esquire Magazine's best female voice award and
they say “We hear a voice both suited for sunny
afternoons and dark cold nights. Whether she’s
whispering in our ears her love or disappointment you
can’t help but want to try a bit harder.”

The
Wailin' Jennys
Three extraordinary voices, two founding singer-songwriters, one singular vision.
"Like Gillian Welch or Alison Krauss, they make new songs feel traditional and
old songs sound brand new."

Kim Richey
Kim Richey's aunt
owned a record shop and she spent her childhood
digging through bins and listening to everything on
offer. The results show in a series of superb records
released over the last decade
from Bittersweet
and Glimmer to 2002's mesmerising and masterful Rise.
Now Nashville
based, she has a new record out. Produced by Guy
Martin it's title Chinese Boxes is an apt description
of the album’s ten songs, which fit together like
puzzle pieces, as they explore the vagaries of lovers
and other strangers. A firm St.
Bonaventure's favourite, it's a pleasure to be able to
welcome her back.

Matt Andersen
New
Brunswick's Matt Andersen has an enigmatic personality
that is coupled with a larger than life showmanship
that has been earning him a fervent and steadfast
audience wherever he graces the stage. Matt's
sprawling Blues, Roots and Rock musical hybrid with
his sorrowing and soulful voice has sparked a
phenomenal buzz on the east coast and that grass roots
word of mouth can not be contained any longer.

Drive By Truckers
With
their new CD Brighter than Creation’s Dark being one
of the year’s most acclaimed releases (record of the
month in both Uncut Magazine and Mojo, and described
by the former as being “The point at which this
extraordinary band begin to bear the torch forward”)
2008 is the year of Drive By Truckers. Their
marathon shows and blue collar sensitivities bring
inevitable Springsteen comparisons but their legion of
fans know from records such as Decoration Day, The
Dirty South and Southern Rock Opera that nobody’s
the boss of the DBTs. “Fired up and inspired.”
