Some have called Winnipeg-based songwriter
Scott Nolan noteworthy, even acclaimed –
but the smart money cites Nolan as a voice
rarely heard this side of the century, a
musician that shakes away any five-dollar-cover
singer-songwriter motifs before he unsnaps
his guitar case. Weaving between Telecaster’d
twang and heavy-hearted dirges, Nolan’s work
offers up hopeful balladry alongside more
muscular outflow. With five full-length recordings,
two Western Canadian Music Award nominations
and countless tours, “Bad Liver/Broken Heart”
– a track from Nolan’s latest record, Receiver/Reflector,
recorded by Hayes Carll – won second prize
in the International Songwriting Competition
in 2008 in the Americana category. Nolan’s
latest album, Montgomery Eldorado, is slated
for release in Spring 2011 on Transistor
66 Records.

Their debut album, Deathbed Pillowtalk,
is
an exciting blend of timeless
country classic
sounds, backporch blues and stomping
scrapyard
funk. Sexuality, death, loss,
and loneliness
haunt their music, often in three
part harmony.
The Crooked Brothers will have
you falling
in love with dying, and dying
to fall in
love.
The Crooked Brothers' fascination
with the
past extends well beyond their
choice of
instrumentation. At times, the
histories,
landscapes and long winters of
their home
province of Manitoba boil to
the surface
and inform both the imagery and
the characters
of their songs. This is, if nothing
else,
prairie music.
Their repertoire includes original
songs
by each of the members, as well
as interpretations
of old standards and works by
musical inspirations
such as Howlin' Wolf, Townes
Van Zandt, and
Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee.

The Magnificent 7's are a musical collective
based out of dirty downtown Winnipeg. Combining
traditional bluegrass instrumentation with
a sense of modern mayhem, The Magnificent
Sevens create their own brand of prairie
inspired roots music. Heavily entrenched
in D.I.Y. culture, The Mag 7's respect music
as an artform and not just an "industry".
No ego's..no $40.00 hair cuts..just a group
of people who love music, and aim to play
it from the heart.
