  • Svavar Knútur and Angela Saini
    May 10 2025

    Svavar Knútur has released six solo albums beginning in 2009 with "Kvöldvaka (Songs by the Fire)". In 2010, he presented "Amma (Songs for my Grandmother)" and in 2012 his "Ölduslóð (Way of Waves)". In 2015 "Brot (The Breaking)" was released. In September 2018 Knútur released the album "Ahoy! Side A" via Dimma and Nordic Notes. A story of new beginnings and the challenges of a new world. It contains five new songs and four "Repaintings" of older songs. Most recently, the album "Ahoy! Side B" was released in April 2024.

    The state of being in-between—the place where things are not clearly defined is where true self-knowledge is derived. When you don’t fit in, you define yourself on your own terms. Singer-songwriter Angela Saini is bi-racial and a crossover country-pop artist who has forged her identity through unflinching positivity and empowering ideals. Today, the Toronto-based country folk-pop artist will issue a series of singles seeding a path to her sophomore album. “I am known for positive songs, but a lot of these were written in dark states. My life isn’t ponies and rainbows, but I write myself out of the sadness,” Angela says. “In every moment we have a choice. I choose to uplift myself and bring people along with me." Angela sweeps people away with instantly-memorable, toe-tapping pop infused with storyteller sing-alongs about courage and finding joy in surprising places. Her Calgary, Canada upbringing—a hotbed of country music—and her Garth Brooks obsession, always informs her instantly memorable songcraft. After all, you can take the girl out of the prairie, but you can’t take the prairie out of the girl.

  • Buggy Jive and Selina Boland
    May 1 2025

    Soul rock singer-songwriter Buggy Jive has always made music while in hiding, quietly uploading songs and music videos from a basement studio somewhere in Upstate New York. Equal parts Zeppelin and D’Angelo and Prince and Joni in sound and sensibility, his lyrics often mine the literature of the past to make sense of the present – from Ellison to Morrison to Eliot to Didion. Even before his pandemic-era music video and reclusive rallying cry “Ain’t Going Anywhere” went viral, the only way to see him perform live was the occasional house concert streamed live from his basement studio.

    Selina Boland is a multi-faceted Canadian artist whose journey into the world of music has been marked by her heritage, geography, innovation and drive. Selina was born in Newfoundland to beloved Lukey's Boat folk singer, the late Laverne Squires. Her musical influences include Traditional Newfoundland, Folk, and 60’s Rock. Writing and performing professionally in a range of styles from folk to electronic since 2011, Selina has toured Canada, the US, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Scotland, Ireland, Mexico and the UK. She has released her new album, Take My Heart and Run, it arrived April 4th, 2025 and she is touring Newfoundland and beyond to promote it.

A vocalist and guitarist, she also plays upright bass and ukulele and sings in four languages (English, Italian, Spanish and French). She has been described by Michael Greenblatt of The Aquarian Weekly as "deeply evocative with a dash of Piaf, a sprinkle of Lady Day, a pinch of Norah Jones and a teaspoon of Madeleine Peyroux. She has been called smart, eclectic, adventurous and cool, and credited with psychedelic grooveability whilst 'baring her clairvoyant soul' to 'deliver musical mojo'."
    She has released eight solo albums to date and regularly tours throughout the US and Europe.
