SUMMARY:Music: Jon Wilks
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed singer\, guitarist and storyteller Jon Wilks is known for his work at the intersection of traditional folk and contemporary narrative songwriting. Recognised with a double-page feature in global Guitarist magazine\, Jon is a guitarist of exceptional calibre. Jon’s most recent solo release was named Folk Album of the Month in The Guardian and his stand-out talent has been applauded by other publications such as Uncut Magazine and Klofmag. Having spent recent years delving deep into traditional ballads and broadsides\, his latest album\, Could You Be the One?\, marks a return to original material — songs that reflect on time\, memory and belonging. Live shows will also draw from Jon’s rich back catalogue of traditional material\, reworked through the lens of the full band. \nJon is joined by a group of close musical allies; Jon Nice on keyboards\, electric guitars and backing vocals — a trusted musical companion since they met in Japan in 2007. On bass is Rich Davies\, one of Jon’s oldest friends; they first played together as teenagers in the Midlands and are reuniting musically for the first time since 2003. On drums is Laurence Hunt\, known for his work with the Wayward Band and Hack Poets Guild. He and Jon first crossed paths in the Jim Moray Band in 2023. \n\nRecent Press for Jon and his music: \n‘Jon’s a badman fingerpicking guitarist and leading exponent of the songs of Old Albion’. Carl Barat\, The Libertines \n‘Wilks proves once again what a stand-out talent he really is. There is an honesty and compassion in Wilks’ writing and performance\, which is entirely charming’. Klofmag \n‘A scholar’s ear for vernacular and a dashing sense of verve on fingerpicked guitar’. Uncut Magazine \n‘Sublime songwriting. Wilks is a rather special performer.’ Folk Radio \n  \nNeedless Alley | Jon Wilks \n

SUMMARY:Music: The Pine Hill Haints
DESCRIPTION:Alabama Ghost Country Music\nAlabama’s favourite haunted artists The Pine Hill Haints return with their latest long player\, Shattered Pieces Of The True Cross\, on Single Lock Records\, available in stores physical and digital on May 30.\nThe collection of southern psychedelic tunes were recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound on Jackson Highway\, captured and mixed by Ben Tanner\, Grammy-winning producer/engineer and Single Lock co-founder. \nThe Haints have long represented a 21st century chapter in the Muscle Shoals music legacy\, applying a DIY ethos to folk and blues traditions. Not unlike their Swamper forebears in the same studio\, the Haints transcend their myriad influences to sculpt a sound of their own.\nThe album bears their signature sonic palette – washtub bass\, snare drum (no bass drums allowed!)\, washboard\, and the occasional singing saw – and combination of styles: Scotch Irish traditional music via Appalachia (“Ki Yi Woopi Ti Yay” and “Henry My Son”\, classic country (“Honky Tonk and Dance With You”) and punk rock (“Svenghoolia”)\, plus a fresh take on the Grateful Dead song “Loser”. \n  \nHave a listen here \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Music: Dana Sipos
DESCRIPTION:Known for crafting music that is both fragile and orchestral\, acclaimed Canadian songwriter Dana Sipos invites the listener beneath the surface through a nuanced lens that isn’t afraid to be out of focus at times.

She is a consummate performer\, having brought her her unique brand of cosmic folk to living rooms\, concert halls and festivals stages across North America\, Europe and Australia. Her 2021 release\, The Astral Plane\, was lauded as a “mesmerizing jewel of an album” (No Depression) and garnered Sipos a Solo Artist of the Year nomination at the 2022 Canadian Folk Music Awards.

SUMMARY:Music: Abigail Lapell / Steph Cameron
DESCRIPTION:Abigail Lapell\nToronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with Anniversary\, an evocative collection of original love songs. The album balances upbeat earworms with elegiac ballads\, ultimately emerging as an earnest celebration of commitment. Anniversary was recorded at 200-year-old St. Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake\, Ontario\, co-produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker\, who helped shape the project’s spooky\, resonant sound while lending his voice to a few spellbinding duets. \n  \n \nSteph Cameron\nSPILL MAGAZINE “Steph Cameron made waves with her debut record Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady (2014)\, an effort that garnered its fair share of acclaim and rave reviews. Her sophomore release\, Daybreak Over Jackson Street shares the same heartfelt spirit and intimacy that drew listeners in the first time around. After a great deal of touring and writing\, the roots singer returns with tracks that reflect a confident songstress with maturity\, experience and an empathetic eye.” \nFOLK RADIO UK “It’s not unusual for artists plying an Americana trade to be likened to such names as Townes Van Zandt\, John Prine and Bob Dylan\, but the artists in question are usually men. It’s rare for a female singer to attract such comparisons. Vancouver’s Steph Cameron is both an exception and exceptional \n

SUMMARY:Music: The Deep Dark Woods (solo)
DESCRIPTION:One might be tempted to think of the Deep Dark Woods as a band steeped in capital-T tradition\, and that may be true\, but now nearly two decades into their life as one of Canada’s finest folk-roots ensembles\, that tradition is one of their own invention. The voice of founding member Ryan Boldt sits at the forefront of the band\, and it doesn’t take long to reveal that he is a master of subtlety and shading\, working in the lineage of iconic singers like Bob Dylan\, Bert Jansch\, Rick Danko\, and Jason Molina. Boldt\, a relentless lifelong listener of music\, says “It’s all I do. When I’m not playing music\, I’m listening to it\, trying to find songs that make me feel an aching pain in my chest.” Accordingly\, his singing is full of highly emotive nuance and an elegant\, relaxed precision that makes it seem downright effortless\, a perfect vehicle for the band’s particular brand of updated folk music. Fellow travellers like keyboard whiz Geoff Hilhorst\, veteran drummer Mike Silverman\, and Evan Cheadle round out the Deep Dark Woods unit\, and they are often assisted by like-minded collaborators such as singer-songwriter Ellen Froese\, Erik Nielsen\, Leon Power\, and the acclaimed duo Kacy & Clayton. This crew creates a powerful combination and has amassed a pile of celebrated albums\, EPs\, and a host of nominations from music awards outfits from across the country. Together they recall classic units like The Band\, mid-period Wilco\, and American Beauty-era Grateful Dead\, but also legendary late ’60s UK groups like Fairport Convention\, Pentangle\, and Steeleye Span. \nWhich brings us to the Deep Dark Woods’ latest album\, Broadside Ballads\, Vol.III. Intertwined amongst their albums of original material\, Deep Dark Woods has been steadily building up a series of releases called Broadside Ballads\, focusing on traditional Irish\, English\, and Scottish folk songs. It’s a fitting tribute to the music that influenced Boldt’s writing and singing since first forming the band\, and like their forebears\, Deep Dark Woods aims to take their own experiences of traditional music and create something new and vital. The songs in this collection mine some of the more brutal depths of human experience\, touching on broken hearts\, love\, murder\, and the act of leaving. Boldt notes that “there are not too many jolly songs in there”\, but the album is not a dour affair\, instead benefiting from tasteful\, unstated arrangements and an organic\, no-frills recording sound. The songs on Vol.III generously display The Deep Dark Woods’ deep-seated links to the past while still sounding just like themselves. \nA brand new album of original music recorded by David Parry (Loving\, Alice Phoebe Lou) will be released on Victory Pool throughout 2025 complimented by tours of the UK\, Canada\, and Europe. \n  \n \n

Born on Clare Island\, Co.Mayo\, McCabe grew up in the family run pub awash with strong musical influences from traditional Irish and folk to rock and soul.
