Concert Line-Up
The Paperboys, September 20, 2024
The Paperboys are a Canadian folk music band from Vancouver that formed in 1991. Mexican Son Jarocho mixed in with Irish Jigs and Reels and a good dose of Country and Bluegrass. It has healthy servings of Ska, Soca and African Highlife and they’ve been known to throw in a little White Boy Reggae. Of course it also has strains of Soul, Pop and Funk although they are by no means a funk band. It is GOOD music. It has a tendency to connect people and means a lot to many folks the world over, and for that they are very grateful. It is the only multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-generational, multi-lingual, multi-instrumental, genre bending, co-ed band you will hear today!
Lynne Hanson, October 4, 2024
Lynne Hanson is an Ottawa-based, Americana songwriter known for her high energy roots guitar driven live performances with an authenticity that’s as entertaining as it is disarming. Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, Lynne Hanson’s brand of porch music with a little red dirt can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. Her hard living music has garnered her the nickname “Canada’s Queen of Americana.” And while her deep, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it’s the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart.
Double Bill: Alexis Normand / The Mbira Renaissance Band, October 18, 2024
For over a decade, Alexis Normand has forged herself a path of authenticity with her down-to-earth sound and demeanour. With Mementos, her new and most personal album to date, the singer-songwriter sheds an honest and vulnerable light on herself. Drawing inspiration from the infinite horizons of her Saskatchewan home, she explores the dualities of a francophone identity on anglophone soil with a velvety voice and a candid approach to the contemporary folk sounds which suit her so perfectly. The result is a collection of delicate songs, each exploring an important moment of her life; overcoming a challenge, a defining moment in time, a deep understanding of the inherent contradiction that is her life.
Playing music out of Zimbabwe, by way of Edmonton, Alberta, The Mbira Renaissance Band delivers an afro-fusion sound like no other. The group fuses the mbira, hosho (traditional shakers) and other traditional instruments with contemporary sounds to produce a rich blend of vibrant polyrhythmic sounds. The result is an upbeat blend of the contemporary mbira sound with hints of reggae, afro jazz, and afro pop – inspired by the sounds of artists such as Oliver Mtukudzi, Thomas Mapfumo and Chiwoniso Maraire.
Aleksi Campagne, November 1, 2024
Aleksi Campagne is uniquely qualified to offer a contemporary, indie-folk take on the time-honoured fiddle-singing tradition. Aleksi grew up on stage. At five years old, he began performing alongside his mother, Canadian folk icon, Connie Kaldor. At nineteen, Aleksi moved to Paris to study under Jazz-violin legend Didier Lockwood. At twenty-one, Aleksi became the only student to have ever been accepted into the classical violin, the jazz violin and the jazz voice performance programs at McGill University. And, by twenty-five, with only a six-song EP, Aleksi graced the lineups of some of the most competitive folk festivals across Canada for three consecutive years — including the Regina, Canmore, and Bear Creek Folk Festivals.
Good Lovelies, November 15, 2024
Not to put too fine a point on it, but the Good Lovelies are kind of having their moment. That’s impressive considering the JUNO Award – winning roots-pop combo of Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough, and Susan Passmore are more than a decade into a career that has yielded four widely acclaimed studio albums, two Christmas collections (including 2019’s gorgeous Evergreen), two EPs, a live album, and a #1 single (“I See Gold” from 2018’s smash Shapeshifters) plus devoted fans in Europe, Australia, the U.S. and homeland Canada, where performances alongside the Toronto Symphony Orchestra are not unheard of.
Tribute to Bill Bourne: A Night of Rising Stars, December 6, 2024
Internationally recognized and loved Bill Bourne, winner of three Junos was well known as mentor to many musicians, both in his adopted home of Edmonton and worldwide. Bill’s music is wide ranging, incorporating a variety of musical styles, including Indigenous, African, Cajun, Celtic, country, delta blues, flamenco, folk, funk, gospel, reggae, and worldbeat.
Honouring Bill’s legacy of mentorship, New Moon Folk Club is known for providing significant opportunity for local emerging musicians. What better way to extend Bill Bourne’s legacy than to host a night of local Rising Stars, many of whom have personal connections to Bill? These Rising Stars are Sammy Volkov; Laurelle Kanji, Kaylin Kowalyshyn, Billie ZiZi; Kaiya Kodie, and Brianna Lizotte. The tribute concert is a songwriter in the round style.
Major Love, January 31, 2025
Major Love is the moniker of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Colleen Brown — and a collaboration featuring Alberta rock darlings Scenic Route To Alaska. Together, they make soulful pop-rock music for their hoser friends. Their 2018 debut on Cowboy Junkies’ imprint Latent Recordings (Warner) yielded two singles ‘Tear It Down’ and ’So Good’ which were embraced at CBC Radio 2 and enjoyed some initial commercial radio crossover. The album debuted at #19 on the earshot National College Radio charts where it ranked for more than 13 weeks.
Old Man Ludecke, Febraury 14, 2025
Old Man Luedecke is the recording name of two time JUNO award winning and Polaris prize nominated singer songwriter Chris Luedecke. A multiple East Coast Music Award winner known for his high energy banjo driven stompers, touching guitar ballads and dry humorous stories, Luedecke has been making a soundtrack to an authentic life for nearly twenty years. Born in Toronto and long time resident of the country near Chester Nova Scotia, Luedecke began recording in the early 2000’s DIY folk scene of Halifax. 2019 saw Luedecke recording Easy Money at both the Banff Centre in Alberta and at Hotel2Tango in Montréal.
Sue Foley, March 7, 2025
Multi-award winning blues artist, Sue Foley presents “One Guitar Woman” a show devoted to the female pioneers of guitar. These are the women who were expressing themselves through the instrument as far back as the 1920’s, at the inception of radio and recorded music including Maybelle Carter, Memphis Minnie, Mary Osborne, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and more. Celebrating these women of excellence, passion, and accomplishment, Sue presents an evening of varied guitar styles and musical genres interspersed with their history and stories, all tied together with her own personal narrative.
Cassie & Maggie, March 21, 2025
Nova Scotian sisters Cassie and Maggie have been lighting up the world with their unique blend of traditional and contemporary Celtic instrumentals and vocals. Appearing on stages across North America, the UK, and Europe the sisters have enchanted audiences far and wide with lively fiddle, piano and guitar arrangements, stunning sibling vocal harmonies in both English and Gaelic, all complemented by their intricate and percussive stepdancing style.
Ndidi Onukwulu, April 4, 2025
Ndidi O, is an award-winning Contemporary Roots & Blues singer-songwriter. For nearly two decades she has carved out an adventurous career that deftly moves between soul, blues, contemporary roots, folk and Americana.

Rum Ragged, April 11, 2025
2021 JUNO Award Nominees, Rum Ragged, take a bold approach to the distinct folk music of their home, the Eastern Canadian island of Newfoundland. With a reverence for their roots and a creative, contemporary edge, this young band has quickly become known as the finest performers of their great, living, musical tradition. Boasting bouzouki, fiddle, bodhran, banjo, guitar, and button accordion, these new champions of East Coast music enliven and enlighten audiences with their signature brand of Newfoundland folk. Always honest, thought-provoking, and often humorous, it’s Rum Ragged’s live show that makes them a fast favourite with any audience. Their combination of striking vocal harmonies, staggering musicianship, and captivating storytelling gives concert-goers an experience they won’t soon forget. Rum Ragged is not your run-of-the-mill folk band, they are the genuine article.
