Caley Watts

Caley Watts is a Cree singer/songwriter who grew up along the river banks, mountain ranges, and rainforest of Nuxalk Territory, and her blend of folk and roots draws heavily on the pace and beauty of her home. In praising the “understated magic” of Caley’s music, CBC Music said “it’s easy to imagine oneself whisked far away from the insularity of daily life, to somewhere wilder and grander.”

Caley’s debut album River’s Daughter is the result of more than three years of mentorship and co-writing sessions with an incredible community of artists, including William Prince, Serena Ryder, Kinnie Starr, and Katie Pruitt.
With Kenton Loewen drums, Scott Smith guitar, James Meger bass, and Jesse Zubot violin/viola.

Presented in association with Talking Stick Festival.

Kenton Loewen with Jesse Zubot

Centred by his warm and emotional baritone, Kenton Loewen’s alt/psych/folk debut album is “an explosive listen” (Vancouver Sun).

One of Canada’s premier drummers in creative improv (Gord Grdina, Ken Vandermark, Mats Gustafsson) and rock (with Dan Mangan + Blacksmith and in the original lineup of Mother Mother), the JUNO Award-winner is also a captivating singer-songwriter. His deeply personal songs about obsession, depression, and old-school heartbreak take on almost hallucinogenic qualities in collaboration with producer Jesse Zubot. A violinist and sonic shaper unlike any other, Zubot is known for his longtime collaboration with Tanya Tagaq and film scores like Bones of Crows and Indian Horse.
