Bobby Dove, the Canadian singer-songwriter, is quickly becoming a magnetic presence in the world of Country and Americana music. With a voice as powerful as their storytelling, this trans/non-binary troubadour pays tribute to the golden age of Country, while crafting original, emotionally charged songs that "blend genres with the touch of a master." (Mary Gauthier)

In 2021 Bobby released their sophomore record, Hopeless Romantic, coproduced with Blue Rodeo's Bazil Donovan, and Tim Vesely (Rheostatics), which gained international acclaim and climbed the Canadian Roots and US Alt-Country radio charts. The album earned Bobby a record deal in the Netherlands, leading to their first European tour in 2022/23. Bobby Dove has given highlight performances at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Vancouver Island Music Fest, Winnipeg Folk Fest and Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht, NL. Along the road, Bobby has collaborated with luminaries such as Fats Kaplin, Mary Gauthier, Richard Thompson, Ray Benson, and Lavender Country.

Alissa Arnason

In the stark landscape of the Saskatchewan prairies, Alissa Arnason spent countless hours dreaming, writing, drawing, and singing within the simple confines of suburban Saskatoon. Music was the language of her family: some of her earliest memories are of her father performing on stages across the province; she recalls endless evenings singing with her family around kitchen tables and campfires. At fourteen, Arnason picked up her brother’s guitar and found an immediate portal to a lifetime of self-taught musicianship.

Arnason recently released her newest single, Broke My Heart in Two and is poised to release her full-length album Waltzes in February 2026.
