Sophisticated songstress, Aidan Mayes, reveals an earnest heart, bursting with beautiful, beaming light for everyone experiencing her soulful voice. A folk songsmith forged from nostalgic 90’s alternative pop and Lilith Fair roots, her lyrics carry bold expressions of loss, love, great adventures, and dreams of an even better life. A classically trained foundation gives Aidan the core confidence to explore Joni Mitchell-esque alternate tunings full of ethereal edge and a full sensory supply of sweet soaring vocals accompanied by expert level organic instrumentation. All the emotions poetically flow. 

Ari Neufeld is a self-made one-man band, playing guitar, piano, banjo while singing and keeping time through an amplified stompbox, with ethnic beads, nuts and bells strapped to his body. His performance covers a variety of genres from folk to pop, to new country, to rhythmic soul, to rock but it is what he likes to coin as “Full Contact Folk”. It’s a vibrant blend of beat, melody and humour.
