Imagine Sun Ra as Joni Mitchell's pianist, or Laurie Anderson writing songs for Billie Holiday and Slam Stewart. That potent and eclectic poise is what the long-standing upright bass and voice duo, Silvervest, offers. Silvervest is the project of Nicolas Caloia and Kim Zombik that cruxes intimacy at the heart of their compositions. Playing in the field of storytelling, pop, soundscapes, jazz and jangling, Silvervest offers fresh music that is intuitive and unique. They place primary importance on creation that has structure yet allows following their ears into wider exploratory spaces. This potent duo, ever open to possibilities, explores the nuts and bolts of humanity’s mortal coil with tenderness, humour and tunefulness.

The Giant Steppas is a local Reggae band from Toronto. Members of the band are from different parts of Canada and the World but met in Collage. Jason McKenzie, the Bandleader formed The Giant Steppas with a group of friends who had a love for Jazz, RnB, Funky, and Jamaican Popular music. With the small amount of reggae bands in Toronto, it has encouraged The Giant Steppas to "Stepp" out and show the people of Toronto what they are all about. The bands musical style is fusing elements of Jazz, RnB, and Funky, with Reggae being the base of their sound allowing listeners to have a unique experience. Some of the band’s influences include the likes of Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Alton Ellis, Chronixx, Sarah Vaughn, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet baker, Stevie Wonder and Vulfpeck. As a new band they are enthusiastic about bring “Giant Steps” to the reggae scene in Toronto, by performing at local venues and creating content online. The Giant Steppas are filled with creativity and passion for what they do best which is entertaining through music where everyone can join in singing, dancing, clapping, and down to the tapping of their feet.
