SUMMARY:MOMIX: Botanica
DESCRIPTION:MOMIX Botanica is a lush\, surreal journey through nature’s ever-changing imagery\, following the rhythms of the seasons and the passing of a day. This larger-than-life spectacle fuses world-class athleticism with an eclectic score ranging from birdsong to the elegance of Vivaldi. \nActing as a restorative “herbal remedy” for the senses\, this feast for the eyes pairs the superb energy of its performers with gravity-defying props\, cinematic projections\, and whimsical puppetry.

SUMMARY:Jesse Roper
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nJESSE ROPER\nJesse Roper is a modern-day troubadour; a Canadian artist defined by his authenticity and adventurous spirit; guitar in hand and a grin on his face. \nJesse\, along with long-time bandmates the Pretty Good Band\, has spent much of the last few years travelling the highways\, byways and backroads of North America\, bringing his own brand of modern\, indie-infused Americana blues to fervent audiences across the continent. Known for his powerhouse live performances\, Jesse is truly electrifying on stage – his soulful vocals expanding across silky guitars and hard-hitting grooves. You’d never guess that this soldier of the six string – all mischief\, mayhem and virtuoso guitar playing – experienced crippling stage-fright long into his 20s. Today\, the stage is his home and he’s inviting you in\, cold one in hand\, for one helluva good time. \nOf course\, he’s more than a magnetising stage presence and great hair – Jesse has the goods to back this up. A master at connecting his personal experiences to his songwriting\, he crafts wildly entertaining narratives of the challenges and eccentricities of life\, pulling inspiration from all that surrounds him. His musings on love (both won and lost)\, the call of the road and the promise of what’s round the corner draw similarities to JJ Cale\, Leon Bridges\, and Alabama Shakes. His innate musical talent and flexibility of style have seen him play with soul icon Booker T. Jones\, rock veteran Colin James\, blues belter Beth Hart\, and Canadian legend Burton Cummings. Across streaming platforms\, he’s racked up over 500\,000 monthly listeners and millions of streams. \nWhile based in Victoria BC\, Jesse is back on the road with the Pretty Good Band throughout 2026. All seasoned musicians themselves\, the band is Matt Reid (bass)\, Chris Van Sickle (keys)\, East Coast Pete (guitar) and Brent Norman (drums). “Each one of these guys on their own is funnier and smarter than I am\, but somehow I’m the band leader\,” Jesse laughs. “I’m a lucky lead guy to have these cats in my band. They’re Pretty Good.”

SUMMARY:Eddie 9V
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nEDDIE 9V\nEddie 9V has an endless stockpile of cool stories – and you’ll find twelve of them on his most recent studio album Saratoga\, released in November 2024 on the fabled Ruf Records label. A thrilling mix of Southern soul\, blues\, rock\, and funk\, Saratoga proved to be a gamechanger: a road trip-ready record filled with razor-sharp observations\, vintage textures\, and raw humanity. It also marked a major career milestone: Eddie 9V’s soulful sound began reaching hundreds of thousands of new fans across the globe. \nNow signed to Easy Eye Sound — the Nashville-based label founded by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys — Eddie 9V is preparing to release a brand-new album in 2026. And the momentum keeps growing. Since Saratoga dropped\, Eddie’s monthly listeners on Spotify have exploded from 8\,000 to peaking at over 800\,000.. Songs like “Halo\,” “Saratoga” and “Love Moves Slow” have become SiriusXM Spectrum-certified tracks\, gaining steady spins and major audience love. \nBut this rise is years in the making. From the day he first slung a guitar on a local Georgia stage\, Eddie 9V (born Brooks Mason) has been an artist to watch. First cutting his teeth in cover bands and regional blues circuits\, he made the leap to full-time frontman with a name that couldn’t be ignored. “I wanted to start from scratch – and I ain’t never heard of no bluesman named Eddie 9V.” \nThat leap paid off. His early albums Left My Soul In Memphis (2019) and Little Black Flies (2021) turned heads for their wild energy and vintage flair. 2022’s Capricorn was a breakout moment\, earning rave reviews from Classic Rock\, The Guardian\, and more. It debuted at #1 on the blues charts before being dethroned by Bonnie Raitt — “a cool story to be able to say\,” Eddie laughs. \nBy the time Saratoga arrived\, Eddie 9V had evolved into a full-spectrum songwriter\, tapping into deep wells of soul and storytelling alongside his brother and longtime collaborator Lane Kelly. Much of the album was recorded at their Echo Deco Studio in Atlanta\, with some sessions at Denver’s Crown Lanes Studio. From the disco-tinged horns of the title track to the fuzzed-out dreamscape of “Delta\,” it’s a record that widened the lens without losing the grit. \nNow with a major label partner\, national tours\, SiriusXM airplay\, and streaming growth that shows no signs of slowing\, Eddie 9V is poised for the next chapter. A new album is on the horizon. The band is sharper than ever. And if Saratoga was the ignition\, what’s coming next is the open highway. \n“I’m already writing new songs\,” he says. “You never stop.”

SUMMARY:PAINTERLY ENCAUSTIC: LANDSCAPES with Bridget Benton
DESCRIPTION:Explore encaustic as a pure painting medium while creating a beautifully textured landscape! If you’ve been struggling to use color and encaustic paint in your mixed-media encaustic work or want an introduction to encaustic that’s painterly rather than collage-based\, this may be the workshop for you.  \nWhile we will be working from photos\, students will be encouraged to simplify and slightly abstract their landscapes rather than trying to create photo-realistic copies. Encaustic is an expressive media with a mind of its own!

SUMMARY:Mama’s Broke: ‘Reunion’ Album Release Tour
DESCRIPTION:SEATED SHOW (general admission seating) \nMAMA’S BROKE\nFor more than a decade\, Mama’s Broke\, the Canadian duo of Amy Lou Keeler and Lisa Maria\, have forged a style carried across landscapes rather than tied to one. Their forthcoming 12-song LP Reunion\, out August 28 via Free Dirt Records and Forward Music Group\, follows years in near-constant motion\, bringing their folk-without-borders approach to small clubs\, DIY spaces\, and everywhere in between. Winners of the Canadian Folk Music Award for Ensemble of the Year for their 2017 debut Count the Wicked\, their music is rooted in long days playing for passing crowds and traveling by foot\, as well as in the deep wells of folk lineage they’ve tapped into across Eastern Canada\, Appalachia\, Ireland\, and beyond. Their sound doesn’t belong to any one place so much as it passes through them\, grounded in the traditions that shaped it. \nThat foundation was built long before stages and studio sessions\, in traveling communities where music functioned as both currency and connection. The two met within a global network of musicians funding their way through shared songs\, carrying only what they could as they traded melodies and stories across the miles. Playing for hours at a time on the street demanded a repertoire that could hold attention and sustain emotion\, drawing them deep into traditional material and the discipline of close harmony. Over time\, the songs became a common language\, connecting what came before with the music they were making together. \nBuilding on their JUNO-nominated album Narrow Line (2022)\, Reunion reflects a world coming apart in plain sight\, tracing fractured communities\, the erosion of shared ground\, and the growing awareness that the systems we were taught to trust no longer hold or deliver the promises they were meant to keep. The songs don’t preach or prescribe; they reflect\, holding up a mirror and leaving space for something else to take shape. \nRecorded just outside Nashville in Goodlettsville\, Tennessee\, Reunion features subtle contributions from bassist Paul Kowert (Gillian Welch & David Rawlings) and others\, adding depth without pulling focus from the record’s acoustic core. At its heart\, Mama’s Broke remains what it has always been: two voices\, intertwined\, both fragile and enduring. Reunion asks what it means to make something that lasts: not a place you’re from\, or even a place you return to\, but what you make together\, and how long it lasts\, if you tend to it. \nMama’s Broke are touring their new album in North America and Europe throughout 2026 and 2027.
