ABOUT THE MUSICIANS 

ka lok  

“Blending powerful drums, soaring lead vocal lines and a driving arrangement of brass, violins and synthesizers. ka lok drops an angsty and charged sound that serves to demonstrate his talents as a songwriter and performer. Full of punching rhythm, ka lok’s debut single offers a compelling sound of cinematic alternative pop on this worthy debut effort that builds excitement around his new solo artist adventure.” - Plastic Mag  

Kyrie Kristmanson

Kyrie Kristmanson’s direct yet otherworldly style seems like folk music from some isolated mountain or urban canyon. It will take you places you've never been." – Robert Everett Green, The Globe & Mail

Regina native Kyrie Kristmanson is back in town for an intimate show. An original member of the beloved indie-rock band Rah Rah, Kyrie relocated to Paris in 2010 for the release of her album Origin of Stars on Universal France. She subsequently enrolled at La Sorbonne where she embarked on a reconstruction of the lost repertoire of the 12th century women troubadours. Since then she has been pursuing her path as a singer-songwriter mostly in Europe and especially France where she was recently awarded the Order of Arts and Letters. Infused by the folk traditions of Canada and the medieval songwriting culture, Kyrie’s compositions create a chamber music that sounds like a dialogue between worlds: an interstice where past and present combine to create a living vestige of a bygone time, half remembered and half dreamed.

She'll be performing songs spanning from her time growing up on the prairies to her most recent song cycle Floralia.

Wishbook  

Wishbook is the Moose Jaw/Regina-based duo project of partners Steve Leidal (vocals/keyboards) and Zoe Saladana (guitars). With a shared belief of what’s best in life (drive-thru food, vintage heavy metal, classic amplifiers, paranormal investigation) and what’s best in music (crisp rhythm sections, chorused guitars, and layered synthesizers), they combine to create offbeat dreamy prog-pop that they write, record and mix themselves.
