Rich Hope

"It seems the rock and roll gods are displeased with us. So they sent us Rich Hope’s Live At The ANZA Club that we may be redeemed. Some would call Rich’s original compositions “roots” music but these live performances are the full green branches laden with blues, country, punk rock and soul. The audience devoured the fruit that night. Hearing this record makes us wish we were there." Gordie Johnson, Big Sugar

Janky Bungag

Hailing from Vancouver, this Filipino-Canadian cowpunk artist draws inspiration from outlaw legends like Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash to bring you a high-energy blend of country and bluegrass. With fast picking and a high lonesome sound, Janky Bungag is sure to get the dance floor hopping.

Runner

runner is a Vancouver-based band led by singer-songwriter Kira Cuthbertson. After moving west from Calgary to work in the audio industry, Kira met bandmates Mackenzie Knight, Hayden Watson, and Alex Walters in local studios long before they ever shared a stage.

The name runner is a nod to their beginnings behind the scenes, with most of the band getting their start as studio runners. Their sound blends prairie folk, alt-country, and indie rock, reminiscent of what Tom Petty may have written if he were, well, a woman. Or sort of like if Sheryl Crow listened to a lot of Big Thief.
