SARAH JANE SCOUTEN & ZINNIA
6.00
SARAH JANE SCOUTEN is a BC-born folk/country songwriter, paying respects to 60s and 70s country songwriters Willie Nelson, John Prine, Bobby Gentry. She weaves in British folk revival, leading back to her roots in bluegrass and old time music. After a transformative four years training as a herbalist in southwest Scotland, Sarah Jane released her latest album Turned to Gold, offering a new depth and solidity as a songwriter. This is destined to be your next favourite road trip album.
ZINNIA is the glittering brainchild of Toronto/Montana’s Rachael Cardiello — a bedazzled, heart-splitting art-pop force that dances somewhere between disco ball reflections and mountain echoes.
Her songs don’t just play — they shimmer, spin, ache, and lift. Honesty meets chaos. Glamour meets grit. Guts and glory.
