With roots coming from the Saugeen First Nation Reserve in Ontario, Country Artist Stirling touches listeners' hearts and souls. He is committed to interpreting topics that matter most to him, real-life people and events.
Alberta’s Juno nominated, roots/swing duo "Over The Moon" are totally immersed in real cowboy country. Their music is a wild ride from 40's western swing and Appalachian old-time, to cowboy blues, all featuring their meant-to-be vocals and a wide array of acoustic instruments.
Suzanne Levesque and Craig Bignell are award winning multi-instrumentalists and vocalists. After discovering their near perfect blend of voices, often moving people to tears upon hearing them sing together, they stepped over the threshold and Over the Moon was born.
Simple and sweet, their music and lyrics have a common thread that speaks of the Canadian west.
