Celebrating three decades of unforgettable traditional music, Rapsquillion brings rich harmonies, infectious energy, and a whole lot of joy to the stage.

“a blend of past, present, and future sounds” – American Songwriter

Singer-songwriter Bob Sumner cites the musically progressive sensibilities of his heroes when talking about the spirit of his new album, Some Place to Rest Easy, out now via Fluff & Gravy (worldwide) and North Country Collective (Canada). “They were always creating something new, something different,” he says of idols like George Jones, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings. With that ideology in mind, Sumner set about creating an album that takes as much inspiration from the audio production of Randy Travis as it does the lyrical soul of Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker—a melding of eras, sounds, concepts, and stylings that’s informed by the past, but never bound by it.

With Some Place to Rest Easy, Sumner picks up the tempo compared to his previous releases, balancing the stirring lyrical depth fans have come to expect with a more buoyant, lively feel. “It felt appropriate to give the music itself some joy,” says the man who’s made a career out of tapping into difficult-to-touch-on, real-life stuff in a relatable, palatable manner. In the end, that’s what Sumner’s music has always been about—more than a single sound, influence, instrumental, or clever line. “I always want people to feel something,” Sumner explains. “If I heard that this album helped somebody that was feeling down, even just by feeling some other emotion for a little while, that’s the number one thing for me.”

“High class, country leaning Americana.” – Americana UK 

“Genuine and weighty songwriting” – Americana Highways

Fronted by multilingual Quebecoise vocalist Lynn Veronneau and superb UK guitarist Ken Avis, VERONNEAU craft a sound that slips effortlessly across borders and genres. Singing in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish, the duo blends acoustic bossa nova, swing, folk, and French chanson with finely crafted original songs. It’s music rooted in melody, groove, and emotional connection—genre-fluid, song-driven, and unmistakably their own.

A real-life couple with undeniable onstage chemistry, VERONNEAU are known for performances that are intimate, joyful, and deeply musical. They tour extensively throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe, drawing capacity crowds and returning regularly to premier venues and festivals including Blues Alley Jazz Club, the DC Jazz Festival, Strathmore Performing Arts Center, the Kennedy Center, and Callander Jazz & Blues Festival, along with live appearances on BBC radio.

Over a 15-year career, the band has earned seven Mid-Atlantic awards, including honors for Best Group, Best Vocals, and Best Recording and songwriting awards. Their albums have charted in the Top 10 across Jazz, World, and Folk charts, reflecting a musical range that defies easy categorization. Whether performing as an intimate duo or with a full ensemble, VERONNEAU bring the same warmth and precision to the stage as they do in the studio—captured vividly on Live at Blues Alley.

Lyrical, swinging, and globally inspired, VERONNEAU deliver music that feels both timeless and right now.

Albi & The Wolves set fire to stages and fill hearts with hope with their uplifting and relatable alternative indie-folk songs. Since 2014 Chris Dent, the proud albino front man Albi, Pascal Roggen and Micheal Young have crafted a stage show that’s brimming with energy and moments to pause for reflection.

Though the band is made up of typical acoustic trio instrumentation (Electric violin, guitar, double bass, a stomp, and their three vocals) the result of their collaboration stands out in their genre and defies what would traditionally be called “folk”, more alleging with modern Americana.

Slick harmonies, soaring violin, and sweeping dynamics help characterise the bands unique sound, a sound that won them the Best Folk Artist Award at the 2018 Aoteroa Music Awards.

They are an act to see live so if an opportunity arises, do not miss it.
