Sons of Dave

D. Rangers 

A mainstay Canadian Festival circuit, D. Rangers forge a simultaneously dangerous-as-hell and brilliantly inventive blend of bluegrass, western swing, punk rock and more, with notihing sacred but sounding good and having fun. Described as "mutant bluegrass,” "un-country, and "arm-swinging hillbilly-stomp,” their live shows feature an engaging mix of originals, traditional classics, and off-the-wall covers. The D.Rangers impassioned frontman Jaxon Haldane (vocals, banjo, saw); former blues-kid-prodigy Chris Saywell (acoustic guitar); Aaron Goss (mandolin, background vocals) who adds a little fire to the mix with his unique and intense playing style; Tom Fodey (bass, background vocals) who lays down rock solid lines on the home-made "muck bucket” bass and adds sweet harmony singing; Together, the D.Rangers look to create a heartfelt and passionate take on traditional music that is all their own.

Musicians from Iceland 

Thank you to our sponsor Icelandair

Ólöf Arnalds

Ólöf Arnalds is an Icelandic composer and multi-instrumentalist. Her most distinctive asset is, nonetheless, her voice of instantly captivating, spring water chasteness possessed of a magical, otherworldly quality that is simultaneously innocent yet ancient (“somewhere between a child and an old woman” according to no less an authority than Björk). Her work has been called "otherworldly" by The New York Times, "stunning" by SPIN, "bewitching" by Rolling Stone, "remarkable" by the NME, "ethereal" by Vanity Fair and "impossibly lovely" by Paste
