J.P. Cormier is a Canadian treasure whose career began at the age of 13. With 25 solo albums to his credit, multiple Juno nominations, and over a dozen East Coast Music Awards (ECMAs), he is widely considered one of the finest guitarists, fiddlers, and songwriters in the world. Known for his "mind-bending" speed and razor-sharp wit, J.P. has shared stages with legends like Waylon Jennings, Marty Stuart, and Earl Scruggs. Beyond his technical prowess, he is a master storyteller who speaks for the "forgotten and lost" through his poignant, soulful lyrics.

Representing the new vanguard of roots music, Jake Lauzon began his journey at age 7 and quickly established himself as a premier flat-picker and multi-instrumentalist. A two-time "Guitarist of the Year" at the Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards (2018, 2019), Jake has toured the North American bluegrass circuit with the Virginia-based band Nothin’ Fancy and has become a fixture at prestigious events like the Celtic Colours International Festival. His rhythmic precision and fluid soloing make him the perfect foil for Cormier’s virtuosic style.

With over two decades on the road, Nova Scotia's Dave Gunning has earned a reputation as one of Canada's most engaging and respected folk singer-songwriters.

Gunning has shared the stage with legends like Ron Hynes, Rita MacNeil, and Matt Andersen, and remains deeply rooted in his home community of Pictou County. In June 2025, he travelled to Point Lonsdale, Australia to record Field Notes, his fifteenth studio album, a stripped-back and emotionally rich collection that gets to the heart of what he does best.
