Red Moon Road
Red Moon Road is a down-home, acoustic folk and roots band with the right mix of East Coast and Country charm comprised of a very talented group of musicians that have emerged from Winnipeg ‘s remarkable roots music scene. The band is driven by the reckless abandon and disarming beauty of vocalist Erin Propp, the songwriting of power-house multi-instrumentalist Daniel Jordan, and the sweet harmonies and banjo/mandolin playing of Daniel Peloquin-Hopfner.

Kim Wempe is an award winning East Coast musician. Her new album Painting With Tides range from mellow folk arrangements with warm layers of acoustic guitar, mandolin and three-part harmonies to upbeat roots rock fuelled by bold electric guitar and organ. At the heart of the songs is Kim’s insightful lyrics and fearless voice sharing her stories with the raw and weighty tone her fans have come to love. It’s a voice that “…lets loose a powerful force pouring out her emotions with a style that has Janis Joplin written all over it,” writes Dan MacDonald of the Cape Breton Post.
“Painting With Tides is where it all started,” says Wempe. “The idea that by changing my view on things and choosing who I surround myself with, I could become a better person and be happier. We don’t really have a lot of control over anything, but this we do. My Mom taught me that… it just took me eight years to finally get what she was talking about.”

Rodney Brown, award winning singer-songwriter from Northern Ontario . His new CD North Land details a unique time in history when Fort William (now Thunder Bay) reigned as the inland headquarters for the Canadian fur trade, filled with songs of adventure and risk, triumph and heartbreak. North Land transports you across the waterways of North America and to the Great Glen of Scotland. With 10 albums and thirty years of performing his songs across Canada and the UK Rodney Brown remains committed to his roots.
