Dennis Bouwman:
A true blue collar songsmith, Bouwman writes and sings with a gritty honesty rarely seen these days. Be it with or without his band, Bouwman’s combination of heart-wrenching lyrics, warm melodies, and a voice like the bottom 10 pipes on a church organ is sure to captivate you and make you feel.
His latest project "SUNDOG", is a heartfelt collection of songs about falling in and out of love, leaving home, and learning how to let go.

Julie Stella:
Sad songs with simple melodies. Based in Ottawa, Acadian singer-songwriter Julie Stella (she/her) describes her music as moody, sad girl vibes. Some might describe her songs as nostalgic, while others might say they’re just depressing. Julie writes songs to dig through the complex layers of loss, grief and acceptance.
Growing up in a small town in New Brunswick, Julie was drawn to music of all genres, but a few musical acts undeniably left their mark on her. Artists like Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, Chantal Kreviazuk and The Cranberries; women with strong voices who are vulnerable and who have something to express. As such, their styles obviously influenced Julie’s sound.
In November 2022, Julie released her two first songs on Bandcamp: In The Abyss and Floating By. In July 2023, she re-recorded and re-released a new version of In The Abyss.
