Featuring:

Cassidy Waring

Cassidy Waring is a queer Vancouver-based alt-folk artist whose songs resonate with uncompromising honesty, sharp wit, and raw narrative style. As a dedicated mental health advocate and an artist living with Complex PTSD, her vulnerability on stage is a cornerstone of her performances. Through candid reflections on trauma, grief, relationships, and therapy, she invites audiences into an honest space, reminding us we’re not alone in our darkest moments. Her debut album, Lonesome Reunion (2021), produced by Jonathan Anderson, introduced her blend of poignant lyricism and intimate storytelling.

Cassidy is also the subject of a 45-minute Telus Originals documentary, set to premiere in Fall 2025, which follows her journey of healing through music, therapy, and honest conversations.

Dawson Gool

After years of obsessing over his aunt's bootleg filled iTunes library, Dawson moved to Boston to give Berklee College of music a try—only to drop out. In his new home of Vancouver, he has flourished, combining his appreciation for Canadian stars, like Shania Twain and Neil Young, with his love of experimental artists like Arthur Russel and Grouper.

On Dawson’s second EP, Bark Mulch, he combines traditional sonic elements like pedal steel and banjo with modern storytelling and production. The result is a textured but driven indie-folk blanket that is sure to warm any fan of Adrianne Lenker or Hovvdy. Mostly recorded in collaborator Mark Falks bedroom, the songs emit a glow that is sure to put the listener in a nostalgic haze.

Fleetwood Huey

Hailing from Surrey, BC, Fleetwood Huey is an alternative hip-hop artist fueled by self-reflection and a healthy dose of wishful thinking. Immersed in a childhood soundtrack of Ethiopian jazz and his brother's hip-hop production, Fleetwood developed an early passion for music and writing, nurtured by countless hours lost in library books and comics.

His unique sound blends alternative rock melodies with nostalgic hip-hop influences, drawing inspiration from artists like Cage the Elephant, Joey Badass, and Isaiah Rashad. More than just music, Fleetwood's songs act as a cathartic outlet, giving voice to feelings he once struggled to articulate. With every track, Fleetwood Huey delivers a message of hope and perseverance, reminding listeners that anything is possible with dedication and belief.

Rebecca Sichon

Vancouver-based singer/songwriter Rebecca Sichon (SEA - Shon) delivers a rich blend of R&B, Soul, and Jazz. Inspired by the vocal acrobatics of Yebba and the raw grit of Amy Winehouse, her voice captivates with both emotion and range.

Rebecca has also performed at 32 Sofar Sounds shows, NXNE in Toronto, and will perform at Massey Hall for Honey Jam’s 30th anniversary (July 2025).

With over 175,000 streams and a feature in EARMILK, Rebecca continues to build momentum. Known for her honest songwriting, magnetic presence, and stunning live vocals, she’s steadily carving out her place in the Canadian music scene.

Adewolf

Adewolf is a Nigerian‑Canadian musician based in Vancouver whose genre‑bending sound—Afrohop—fuses Afrobeats, hip‑hop, R&B, and reggae. Over the past four years, he has opened for stars including Burna Boy, K NAAN, Arkells, Shawnee Kish, and Haviah Mighty, and has performed at major summer events like Khatsahlano, Surrey Canada Day, and the Vancouver Mural Festival. In 2022, he released the dual single 2SME via 604 Records. His 2024 EP Lostalgia reflects on his childhood in Lagos, Nigeria, blending storytelling and sonic collage through the lens of a child narrator. Emerging from the Lostalgia project, Losty takes shape as a masquerade in fuchsia regalia—a vivid reflection of Adewolf’s childhood memories of masquerades dancing through the streets of Lagos. He closed out 2025 as the winner of the prestigious Nativeland × Hennessy Rap Competition in Lagos, cementing his place as a rising voice in the global Afro-fusion scene.
