Headliners
Maddie is a producer/artist and multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles, CA and originally from our very own Smithers, BC. She released her first self-produced EP Mood Swings in 2020, CMYK in 2021, and her debut LP I Can Change Your Mind in 2025 that CBC has described as “vibrant, DIY Pop.” She truly feels she is at her best when sitting in her studio surrounded by Casio synths, drum machines and guitars, twisting knobs and pouring her heart into her computer.
Raised next to an endless ocean, among the towering trees of Canada’s West Coast, his dreamy, soulful sound and personality are reminiscent of the magic of his environment. Kubla takes a lifetime of experience with him onstage, breathing entirely new life into his recorded music through his sensational skills as a jazz musician and his charming presence, both on his own and with a band of incredible musicians. With the astonishing success of his independently released first two albums, Close to the Sun and Sounds from Deep Down, Kubla showcases his undeniable multi-faceted excellence to a worldwide audience as a producer, songwriter, bandleader, singer, and guitar player with soul music designed to move his listeners both inside and out.
Beau Wheeler is a queer non-binary singer songwriter and producer based in so called Vancouver, Canada. Blessed with a set of pipes that could give Freddy Mercury a run for his money, Beau started writing songs at 13 years old and never stopped! Beau’s new self produced electro pop record Trans was recorded at the Warehouse Studio funded by Creative BC. With songs that touch on love, loss and redemption, and an unflagging ability to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again, Beau, who recently came out to the world as trans, is one of Canada’s brightest lights and an artist to watch out for.
Vancouver-based vocalist Leora Cashe brings a rich, soul-infused voice to the stage, weaving together jazz, gospel, blues, and folk influences with emotional clarity and depth. Her sound carries the raw intimacy of Eva Cassidy and the sophistication of Joni Mitchell, grounded in authentic storytelling and expressive nuance. Her latest release, Brand New Day, features original songs alongside imaginative reinterpretations of music gems. On stage, she creates a warm, heartfelt connection that resonates long after the final note.
