TALISE & HOUNDSTOOTH JAMES
5.30

From solo performances to co-founding a female folk band called North Country Girls in 2023, Talise's music reflects her diverse experiences, resonating authentically with audiences across North America. The young musician has performed at numerous festivals and venues around Ontario. She is currently recording her first EP and playing original songs live at every opportunity.

Houndtooth James, raised in the Ozarks, embodies the essence of traditional blues. His guitar mastery, shaped by time on the road as a traveling musician, adds a unique and eclectic flavor to Talise's performances. With roots deeply embedded in the rich musical heritage of the Ozarks, Houndtooth James crafts a seamless fusion of authentic blues with contemporary twists. In collaboration with Talise, he not only supports her vocals but also contributes a distinctive layer to their sound.

JARON FREEMAN-FOX & THE OPPOSITE OF EVERYTHING

Refracting folk music's wildest traditions into a joyful scream, Jaron Freeman-Fox & the Opposite of Everything compact a decade of touring, into a rare hometown appearance, promising their music will sound just as out-of-place in Toronto as it has at traditional music festivals across Eastern Europe, the mountains of Scandinavia, and the Siberian steppe.
