    Bobby Dove, the Montreal born singer-songwriter, is quickly becoming a magnetic presence in the world of Country and Americana music. With a voice as powerful as their storytelling, this trans/non-binary troubadour pays tribute to the golden age of honky tonk, while crafting original, emotionally charged songs that “blend genres with the touch of a master.” (Mary Gauthier)
    Currently based in rural Manitoba, Bobby Dove is preparing to release a new full-length album in the spring of 2025, including a cowrite/duet with grammy winning songwriter, Jim Lauderdale.

    “I’m not sure if Hank Williams or Hank Snow kept a mistress
    in Montreal or Manitoba maybe we didn’t hear about and
    passed some genes down, or what has possessed Bobby
    Dove to become like a vessel or channeller for all the great
    classic country music influences we so sorely miss.” - Saving Country Music (USA)

    “The Canadian singer’s refreshing take on classic country has
    been lovingly crafted with an obvious affection for its golden
    age, without ever succumbing to nostalgic fetishism. Like
    Charley Crockett, they make the kind of music that’s keeping
    the very heart of country beating.” - Holler Country (UK)

    Oceanique
    Originally from regional Western Australia, now based in Naarm/Melbourne, twin sisters Maddy and Jess of Oceanique create music that blends heartfelt storytelling with seamless harmonies. The duo’s sound draws comparisons to the sibling harmonies of First Aid Kit and The Staves, combining folk traditions with warm, reflective melodies reminiscent of the vast country sky.

    Since their debut in 2019, Oceanique has become a rising act in the Australian folk music scene. Highlights include winning Port Fairy Folk Festival’s ‘Emerging Artist of the Year’ (2024) and Folk Alliance Australia’s ‘Youth Artist of the Year’ (2022). Their captivating live performances have graced renowned festivals such as the National Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, and Port Fairy Folk Festival as well as supporting celebrated artists, including The Waifs at Geelong Arts Centre.
