Joël Lavoie is a versatile guitarist, composer, singer-songwriter and studio technician. He is a graduate of the Grant MacEwan College music program with a Major in Performance and Composition. Joël has recently released his first solo recording, ‘La Récolte’(The ...Harvest) produced by the very talented and Edmonton’s own, Doug Organ, in the fall of 2008. “It’s basically a collection of songs that I’ve written in the past ten years and I wanted to put them on record with some killer musicians!” says Joël. His sound has been compared to Neil Young, Daniel Lanois and French singer-songwriter Francis Cabrel. Born in Peace River, Alberta, Joël was raised on a farm near the village of St. Isidore. He took up saxophone at the age of twelve but was seduced by the guitar and began studying blues, rock, and finger style techniques on that instrument. He began his performing career in 1995 with the band Cosmik Debris and his songwriting career in 1996 with Lé Twés. In their heyday, Lé Twés captured the imagination of the Franco-Albertan community. The group was a smash hit at the Loin des yeux, près du cœur event in Montréal (1998). Lé Twés recorded their one and only album ‘Les pieds dans bouette’ in 1999. They later disbanded because of the tragic death of their band leader Martin Lavoie. In 2003, Joël captured first place at the Gala albertain de la chanson, a provincial showcase for up-and-coming singer-songwriters. His song ‘Bonne nuit Pierrot’ won him a recording session with Radio-Canada. Joël is currently performing with his band Gojo and the francophone ‘Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’ band, Allez Ouest (Go West), which includes Jason Kodie, Mireille Moquin and award winning producer, Robert Walsh.

“Stephanie Bosch is an artist who is 100% original, new, and captivating! She’s like nothing I’ve heard before, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!” –U22
Here’s a pretty face you won’t fin...d in a dress. Making her way into the heart of the city, this small town girl has started living in an uptown world, equipped with tattered converse and blue jeans. At the age of 20, only one year after the release of her first EP “House With No Doors”, Stephanie Bosch was invited to play the 2009 Edmonton Folk Music Festival along with such names as Kathleen Edwards, Steve Earle, Tracy Chapman and Sara McLachlin. During that time, Stephanie released her full length album, “Departures” and only a week later was #24 on the CKUA top 30 radio charts, as the youngest and only Alberta artist. “Departures” was produced by Juno nominated Sandro Dominelli and “Canada’s Guitar Hero” Bobby Cameron. Working together, the dynamic trio was successful in creating a sound so original, it can only be described as Stephanie Bosch. With Jazz influence, and a classic rock foundation, this upbeat singer songwriter has a style of her own.

It was obvious from a young age that Stephanie was born with a natural talent for music that could not be ignored. Whether it was singing Christmas carols with her grandfather’s band (the Tony Bosch band), or singing in the church choir, Stephanie loved performing for a crowd. She was also introduced to acting at a young age and couldn’t get enough of the public eye.
One year after deciding music was going to be her life, Stephanie was discovered by manager and talent buyer, Eric Gerstenbuhler. After working together, the two formed a strong working relationship and close friendship. Since, they have combined their passion for music and started creating a team of highly regarded industry professionals who are just as excited as Stephanie to make her dream a reality.
After the release of her debut full length recording “Departures”, Stephanie has been taking the industry by storm. Currently she is looking forward to performing at: The World Skills competition in Calgary, Alberta Arts Days, performing on CBC National’s Alberta Sessions, mounting up for her grand release party in October, and touring Western Canada in November.
In the music world, it is the captivating uniqueness and individuality of a singer/songwriter which makes them stand alone in a room full of talent and song. Stephanie Bosch stands alone in that room, and once you’ve had a taste of her style, you won’t be able to get enough.

Like honey for your ears Laurelle puts it all on the front line for her listeners consistently delivering just what you wanted to hear & then some! Whether harmonizing with friends, going it solo or championing some spontaneous jam session, her musical versatility & sensitivity never fail to find a fan in everyone. Writing music since the tender age of eight & singing for as long as she can remember, the universal language of music is her first & she speaks it with passion & conviction. Picking up the guitar at 16 & foraging her own soulful sound from her background in Jazz, Classical & Traditional music, she’s created something all her own that she’s eager to share!

“At times reminiscent of a young Joni Mitchell, Young’s material also includes hints of Tracey Chapman, or even Sarah McLachlan – but with her own style stamped into every cut.” Andre Wetjen, Prime Cuts/The Daily Courier (Kelowna), “The sensual ruler of the slow burn.” – Bill Bourne

Having taken over the local airwaves, performed countless shows, and toured western Canada endlessly to further their cause, The Lions are preparing to claim their rightful spot in the lineage of great rock n roll bands as they prepare with their full length album ‘Live, Love, Laugh.’

For ‘Live, Love, Laugh,’ the quartet explore a world beyond the pop sensibilities of their forbearers. The album begins with the familiar rock of ages that has brought The Lions acclaim regionally and internationally; a uniquely derivative take on rock n roll for the everyman. Songs like ‘Birds & Bees,’ ‘Magic,’ and ‘Screaming Gun,’ stand tall against anything released since the days when the Gallagher brothers still had their nasal septums.

Hailing from the tiny logging town of Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada, 20 year old Stef Lang is perhaps at first glance an unlikely troubadour. But the unique combination of her mixed heritage coupled with growing up in the remote working town of 7500, provided just the right atmosphere to fuel Stef’s youthful purs...uit of truthful expression and self-knowledge.

This drive to achieve her ultimate expression eventually caused her to pack up her guitar and walk away from small town life at 17 and relocate, on her own, to Vancouver, a city of over 2 million, to chase her songwriting dreams and locate kindred spirits.

An extremely prolific writer and performer, Stef now works closely with many diverse and talented musicians in the vibrant Vancouver songwriting scene. This includes vocals on indie boys The Dudes latest record and a co-writing credit for “Dust In Gravity,” which will appear on Delerium’s upcoming album. She is also a participant in the respected weekly songwriting circle known as Hipjoint Throwdown, of which she has become a core member.

Stef recently penned a publishing deal with Nettwerk/H-Songs and was accepted to play @ The Canadian Music Café during The Toronto International Film Festival, which in past years has seen the likes of Martha Wainwright, City and Colour, Chantal Kreviazuk and Steven Page.

Stef Lang is currently writing, recording and producing her 4th studio record in Vancouver. Her brand new EP titled “Blood and Bravery” is set to release Oct.1st 2009 prior to her Western Canada Tour.

Jesse Dee & Jacquie B’s kick-off party to their East Coast Tour! The Tour is called Highway Robbery and they have 35 dates over 6 weeks from Edmonton to Newfoundland and back! Come out and celebrate th...eir first show at The Haven Social Club.

The Jesse Dee & Jacquie B experience is quickly becoming one of Canada’s hardest working, capital acts. While Dee’s guitar playing leads the audience through an intimate look at his delicate folk tendencies, jazz wit and dirty blues incantations, Jacquie B’s vocals are a blindfold over the eyes of regularity. Her unconventional harmonies seamlessly blend with Dee’s unique vocal style and delivery. She can also be seen brandishing accordions and kazoos to fight off the evil that is mediocrity. This combination on stage is a reminder that there still are unique artists out there cooking up their own special blend of entertainment. The personal stories they share in their songs give you permission to call them a friend by the end of the performance.

Since the release of the debut offering “A Cross Pollination of Service Station Scrawl” in March of 2008, Jesse Dee & Jacquie B have been tirelessly playing and writing. Their live shows are consistent to the fact that they are ever changing. A true testament to creativity. Their latest batch of fresh tunes stretches out their commanding use of multiple styles and grounds them further into their own sound. If the full presence that comes from this duo isn’t enough; add a full drum kit into the mix and you get a funky, pounding, can’t sit down kind of show that will have you massaging your feet the next day as you browse their tour schedule. Never stagnant ,and always pushing themselves into a new direction, they are together making hard inroads which hasn’t been going unnoticed.

Taking Medication are an original band based out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Crossing paths of numerous genre lines, Taking Medication can be described as quirky pop/rock with a sprinkling of country, a pinch of electronica, and a splash of rap to throw
things of...f.

At it’s origin, the band was a basement experiment involving the two founding members Bassie D, and Uncle Zygote. As ideas developed and chunks of sound became songs, the need for live performance emerged. At this point, the relentless drum beating machine Mike “All torso” Sine, and the Multi instrumentalist/vocalist Nathaniel “the Octopus” Sutton were added to the roster. The band has played numerous shows around their hometown including venues such as the Haven Social Cub, the Starlite Room, the Jet Nightclub, and the Rendevous Pub.

Currently Taking Medication is actively playing and seeking live shows to promote their self titled debut CD. The band is also in the midst of recording new songs for a project due to be completed by the spring of 2010. Taking Medication is active, driven, and determined. Your prescription is here and it’s time to take your medicine.
