Named Penguin Eggs & Roots Music Canada's New Discovery of the Year, Aleksi Campagne offers a contemporary, indie-folk take on the time-honoured fiddle-singing tradition. Born and raised in Montreal, Aleksi’s music blends folk songwriting with an edgy, multi-layered sound resulting from his unique combination of voice, violin and looping-effect pedals. His debut album For The Giving / Sans rien donner won a Canadian Folk Music Award 2024 for French Songwriter of the Year and is fully bilingual, offering 10 songs in French and the same 10 songs in English.

Aleksi’s debut has been a whirlwind! Aleksi was selected as a Mariposa Folk Festival Emerging Artist to perform at the festival. His first single Another Day was picked by Paul Corby as a Top Single of 2022. He was then celebrated by Tom Coxworth as one of the Top 5 Favourite acts at the Folk Alliance International Conference, alongside acts like The Fretless and Mary Gautier. His second single Won’t be Scared was selected as the only Canadian finalist in the Kerrville Folk Festival’s Grassy Hill New Folk Competition for Emerging Songwriters. In a review in Le Devoir by Sylvain Cormier, Aleksi’s debut was compared to that of Patrick Watson and Half Moon Run. According to Roots Music Canada, “Aleksi Campagne finessed one of the most musically ambitious accomplishments of the year, an impeccable double album, one set of songs in two conjoined bilingual packages.” He has toured his album in venues and festivals across Canada and the United States.

Boston-based indie-folk artist Kaiti Jones writes songs to make sense of the world, as potent storytellers do. Her songs are a garden that she tends to, rooted in existential angst or failed romances that grow into retrospective anecdotes, sometimes evolving over months or even years. Jones’ sophomore album Tossed garnered acclaim from NPR Music, American Songwriter, KUTX, WBUR The Artery, Front Row Boston, Paste, and Glide Magazine, among others, and earned her three nominations at the 2021 Boston Music Awards.

Critics have likened her music to that of Julia Jacklin, Phoebe Bridgers, Sharon Van Etton, and Tom Petty, highlighting Jones’ natural penchant for honest, poetic lyricism set to a backdrop with a warm, bright, inviting blend of indie folk and rock. American Songwriter coined Tossed “strikingly sensible and occasionally humorous…a natural, but well-polished soundscape.
