Artist Info:

WALSHY FIRE
Whether hyping up a crowd of discerning enthusiasts with expert selections or introducing European festival crowds to the meaning of "Pon di floor," WALSHY FIRE has truly earned the title of Global Ambassador of Music & Culture.

Highly renowned and respected throughout the Caribbean music universe as a double-threat MC and selector for Miami's Grammy winning Black Chiney Sound System, Walshy can now also be found on the world's biggest stages as the master of ceremonies for Diplo's genre-bending dancehall carnival, Major Lazer.

HAYWYRE
Haywyre is a project that synthesizes two musical genres, that of contemporary electronic, along with the more established traditions of classical and jazz. It has been building and maintaining momentum since its creator, Martin Vogt, began releasing works under this moniker in 2009.

Vogt’s primary tool for composition is piano improvisation; it provides the foundation for his work and the core of his musical identity. Having spent endless hours in the studio — and upwards of fourteen years studying piano performance — Martin has honed his craft into the professional sound it is known for today, characterized by exciting, progressive tracks which are crafted with unique composition and seamless design.
••••••••••••••••••
SAID THE WHALE
Long before Vancouver’s Said The Whale became a JUNO Award-winning, radio chart-topping indie rock band, it was an exploratory songwriting experiment led by high school friends Tyler Bancroft and Ben Worcester. Now, a decade since their 2007 formation, they have taken the project back to its freeform roots while simultaneously venturing forward into uncharted art-pop territory.
••••••••••••••••••
SCOTT HELMAN
To paraphrase Thomas Edison, success is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration. Perhaps no working songwriter knows this better than Scott Helman. Since impressing the music world with his debut Augusta EP in 2014, Helman has poured his heart and spilled his sweat on stages across the world: wowing both unsuspecting audiences and adoring fans, whether alone with his guitar or alongside his band of musical brothers.
••••••••••••••••••
NEON DREAMS
Over the last couple of years, Halifax-based trio Neon Dreams have rapidly emerged as one of the brightest new stars on the Canadian music horizon. The success story they are writing has long and deep roots, however, for Frank Kadillac, Adrian Morris, and Matt Gats have been playing together in different configurations for the last nine years. The result is a tight-knit band with a strong personal and musical foundation, one destined to help Neon Dreams go a long way in the business.
••••••••••••••••••
SCOTCH WHISKY LIMOUSINE
Scotch Whisky Limousine (formerly JJ Thomas) was formed In the heart of southern Alberta in the summer of 2015. Their love of old school rock and roll bleeds through their music. They add their own modern twist to the classic rock energy - leaving the listener wanting more. Each member of the band has paid their musical dues over the last decade, playing in various groups of different genres across the country. They come together now to bring you something new and fresh. Appealing to the young and the old, their music has been proven relatable and enjoyable to a broad audience. A love and passion for music fuels their determination to bring rock and roll back to life.
••••••••••••••••••
TREY MARK
Only 3 years ago Trey Mark entered the world of Music & HipHop in Lethbridge, Alberta when he was only 19 years old. 

With an uncanny amount of explosiveness and ability to bring a slow crowd back up to speed; Trey brings the meaning of "stage presence" to a whole new level & took the local scene in Western Canada by storm. 

Peppering his fans & audience with over 30+ shows in the last year all over Western Canada, it's safe to say Trey is devoted to perfecting his craft and creating an important relationship with his fans. In this time, Trey Mark has shared the stage with artists like Bone Thugs N Harmony, Merkules, Snak The Ripper, and OT Genasis along with many other artists.

LUAU Performer - DJ RABBYT
Rabbyt is an international performer who has carved out a massive home in Lethbridge. Rounding her 7th year on the scene she digs into the depths of glitch hop and future house as she strives to deliver a deep, rich sound that brings together a blend of classic funk and hip hop, filled with memorable vocal samples.

This resident DJ of Club Didi and Plum After Dark has performed in many locations throughout Central America and is a staple every year at Bamboo Bass Festival in Costa Rica. She has had the honour to play alongside the likes of Canadian legends Dragonette and Mother Mother, as well as having been invited to bring her beats to several influential music festivals across the country.
