Singer, and songwriter Gord McLaren, from Penticton, BC, has over 35 years of experience entertaining audiences in western Canada with his tasteful blend of original music and cover tunes.

Nevaeh Dyson is a singer-songwriter from Kelowna, BC, whose one-woman show has made waves across major festivals and venues in Canada and the UK. With a voice that evokes the warmth and range of Brandi Carlile and the edge of Bob Dylan, she crafts alt-folk songs that are deliberate, thought-provoking, and unflinching. Since 2023, Nevaeh has DIY-booked tours coast to coast, sharing bills with acts like Kaleo and Chance Peña, and building a reputation for performances that fuse vulnerability with witty social observation. Her songwriting delves into the “why” that motivates who we are, which, paired with her reworked covers of cult classics like Joni Mitchell, Michael Jackson, and ABBA, creates a live show full of energy, conversation, and humour. 

In 2026, Nevaeh will be touring and co-writing in the UK, Ireland, and Sweden,  playing throughout Canada’s West Coast & Northwest Territories, and releasing her debut EP.
