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.” The Independent
