Feist
For nearly a decade, Leslie Feist did not stop moving. Her 2004 Juno award winning album Let It Die led right into 2007’s The Reminder, which earned her four Grammy nominations, six Juno wins, the Shortlist Music Prize, and the opportunity to teach Muppets to count on Sesame Street. She made her Saturday Night Live debut and toured the world. She covered an album with Beck, recorded with Wilco and watched Stephen Colbert shimmy in a sequined
Emmylou Harris
Already celebrated as a discoverer and interpreter of other artists’ songs, 12-time Grammy Award winner Emmylou Harris has, in the last decade, gained admiration as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her incomparably expressive singing. On Hard Bargain, her third Nonesuch disc, she offers 11 original songs—three of them co-written with Grammy–
Daniel Lanois
One of the world’s most influential music producers – a shaper of albums by U2, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel and Bob Dylan - Daniel Lanois is also the world’s best arguments for working from home. From the time he started his own record studio at age 17 in his mother’s laundry room in Ancaster, Ontario, to his storied home studio in Silver Lake, California (where he recorded Neil Young’s Le Noise in 2010), wherever Lanois hangs his hat is ground zero for great music.
Gord Downie and The Sadies
While the occupation that Gord Downie lists on his passport is "musician", he could just as easily have cited "songwriter", "poet", "video director", or even, existentially speaking, "restless spirit". "I enjoy the process of writing to a fault," he admits. "I love doing the work. I love solving the puzzle."
Sarah Harmer
In 2005, Sarah Harmer co-founded Protecting Escarpment Rural Land (PERL), a community group dedicated to protecting and enhancing Burlington’s Niagara Escarpment and rural lands in the region of Halton, Ontario.

Blade, Sr., the pastor of the Zion Baptist Church in Shreveport.

Mix Master Mike
Named as one of the greatest DJs of all time by USA Today, Mix Master Mike got his initial itch for vinyl while growing up in San Francisco listening to his uncle's extensive record collection. Years later, the moment that had the most impact on him was catching Grandmixer DST on stage with Herbie Hancock.
Jesse Cook
THE BLUE GUITAR SESSIONS.
Jesse Cook’s ‘blue mood’ signals a new direction.
Like millions the world over Jesse Cook got his hands on a copy of Adele’s 21 and played it excessively. But the Juno Award-winning guitarist saw something that few of us did, something which emboldened him to tackle a long simmering personal objective and create a ‘blue mood’ record.
Dinner Belles
What began as a barroom brawl, blossomed into a family of fast friends forged over a mutual love of folk, country and roots music. The Dinner Belles call Southern Ontario home, and are all about good vibes and good times. Composed of singers and songwriters, the band mainly plays their own songs, but also has a large repertoire of country classics.
Brad Germain (Guitarist/Vocalist) comes from successful bands and is currently finishing up his debut solo CD which is to be released early 2012.

Missy Bauman
