New Album THRESHOLDS out March 1st
“What is the future, if this is now?” asks Canadian-born Mike Edel on his upcoming album THRESHOLDS due out March 1st. This question, echoing throughout groove of the song “Challenger,” similarly echoes throughout Edel’s entire record, produced by Death Cab for Cutie’s Chris Walla.
THRESHOLDS is a compelling departure for Edel and after adopting a consistency is boring mantra and a tireless year in the studio, Edel’s sound has evolved and this is his most intriguing album yet. From the radio rocker ‘Houdini’ to the indie-pop chiller ‘Go With You’ and with the CBC Music Top 10, thirties are the new twenties anthem ’31,’ Edel presents stand-alone singles that present a uniform theme throughout the 10-song effort.
After 2 million cumulative streams across major platforms, being in rotation on CBC Music, AAA Radio across the United States, and on Sirius XM’s The Loft; after playing hundreds of shows including Rifflandia Festival, Vancouver Folk Festival, Regina Folk Festival, Victoria International Jazz Festival, and Upstream Music Festival; after sharing the stage with Serena Ryder, Foy Vance, Said The Whale and Josh Garrels; and after splitting his time between Seattle, WA and the mountains of British Columbia and getting married, Edel is taking his music in particular and his life in general across a threshold, through an open door, and into the unknown.

St, Arnaud w/guests Live @FernandosPub

Kelowna, BC V1Y 6N2 Map

St.Arnaud At 23 years old, Ian St.Arnaud found himself to be an old hand on the festival performer circuit, a University graduate, an accidental overdose survivor and at a loss for what to do with himself next. The previous fall his bandmate, friend, and at times antagonist, was hit by a train, thus dissolving his Americana/folk pop trio - North of Here.
The three had met in high school and from humble beginnings, their first performance being in a small town library to a meager audience of 14, they quickly became darlings of the Canadian folk movement. They had been preparing to head into the studio to follow up on their 2017 EP Milk & Honey when Ian’s bandmate was killed. Hauntingly, the album title had already been chosen - The Cost of Living.
�Ian, the primary songwriter of North of Here, wanting to honour his band & the loss of his friend, reworked and rewrote the songs that make up the bulk of St. Arnaud’s The Cost of Living, to be released in 2019.
Teaming up with Juno Award nominated producer Graham Lessard (Barr Brothers, Reuben and the Dark, Basia Bulat), Ian dove into the studio to flesh out his understated and raw songs. Hearkening to ‘60s protest folk, Ian’s beaming, clever lyrics belay the dark weight of his themes.

KANE INCOGNITO
Hailing from the stark, prairie metropolis of Edmonton, Alberta, Kane Incognito is the dynamic brainchild of Eric Kane Cherrington. After the loss of his brother and No Heat Tomorrow bandmate, Keeth Cherrington, Eric turned to music and formed Kane Incognito with
his cousins, Austin and Braydon Shaw and childhood friend, Stephen Schoenthaler. The result is a deep blend of folk and rock music that is best described as the love child of Mumford & Sons and Kaleo.
Their first single, 'Young & Able' was released in June of 2017 and hit number eight on the iTunes Rock Charts and was nominated for 'Rock Recording of the Year' at the Edmonton Music Awards. The band released their debut
album Brother in October of 2017.
They released their next single, 'Diagnose Me' in June of 2018 and it was met with stellar reviews from Pure Grain Audio, Canadian Beats Media and Turn Up The Volume, was just nominated for 'Indie Rock Recording of the Year' again at Edmonton Music Awards.
The band has played several music festivals including Seven Music Festival and Wild Mountain Music Festival, and has opened for a string of popular artists including Hey Ocean!, Elle King, Banners, Carmanah, Twin Bandit, The Blue Stones, and Grandson.

A Day As Wolves
A Day as Wolves is the brain child of brothers Andrew and Kyle Eskesen. Based in Calgary Alberta, A Day as Wolves initially stemmed from writing sessions Andrew and Kyle had to pass the time in endless Alberta winters. Their twangy undertones, fuzzed out guitar riffs, and heavy drums combined with soulful vocals about love, women, and drunken nights create the blues rock sound that is A Day as Wolves.
In 2014, A Day as Wolves won the coveted X 929.9 Xposure Contest that gave the group radio play, a slot at 2014’s X-Fest (featuring Jack White, Artic Monkeys, Cage the Elephant, July Talk, Tegan and Sara, and many more), and gained national attention which ultimately lead to numerous shows across Canada to date.
The self-titled debut LP gained the band momentum and title track "Move To Be Free" has been featured on radio playlists, blogs, magazines, and advertising all over the world.With a new fire lit inside each of the members, A Day as Wolves looks to continue their success in 2019 with new music, major show announcements, and tour dates.

Most recently, The Carbons completed The Ski Bum Tour and shared the stage with Canadian Legends The Trews and Sloan. They have now performed over 70 shows across six provinces in support of their debut LP and have landed on legendary stages such as The Horseshoe Tavern, The Roxy, and The Revival.
