Together since 2013 and from Toronto, Ontario, The Lonesome Ace String Band - Chris Coole (banjo), John Showman (fiddle) and Max Heineman (bass) - bring energy, passion, skill and a refreshing vibrancy to their brand of American roots music. The music comes from a tradition that has inspired and brought together generations of people. Its themes of love, loss, hard work and hardship, faith, and everyday life have global resonance and speak to everyone.

The Rheingans Sisters’ richly connecting music is contemporary yet draws deeply on and is deeply anchored in folk traditions. Having studied in France, Sweden and Norway, they make it their spirited mission to join up points across the musics of different geographical roots. In a word, they deconstruct and reimagine traditional music, playing it alongside their own beguiling compositions.
