Maria showcases her keen social awareness and her melodic, unvarnished songs about the lives of working men and women. Gathering, nominated for a 2017 Juno Award and winner of the 2016 Edmonton Music Prize, highlights stories of love of family, community and humanity, that fire our actions to make the world a better place.

The Small Glories

Their newest CD, Assiniboine & The Red, has been nominated for four 2020 Canadian Folk Music Awards; Contemporary Album of the Year, English Songwriter of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year and Ensemble of the Year.  The album was selected as Album of the Year by the Penguin Eggs magazine critic’s poll.  Just this week The Small Glories were honored at the international New Orleans Folk Alliance Convention as 2019 Artist of the Year.  The Small Glories are Cara Luft & JD Edwards, a musical tour-de-force partnership planted on the Canadian Prairies. These veteran singer-songwriters have a way of making time disappear, rooms shrink, and audiences feel as they are right there on the stage with the band — writing the songs, living the songs, performing the songs. It’s not uncommon for listeners to find themselves laughing, dancing, crying, or caught up in a good ol’ fashioned sing-along. The material of a Small Glories concert is welcoming in terms of subject, folk-pop melody and instrumentation — songs of love, loss, and the environment, delivered with soaring, interwoven vocals on stomping clawhammer banjo, guitar and harmonica.

Orit Shimoni

Orit is a truly unique and prolific artist. In a sea of predictable writing and pretty voices, she stands out as a special force with important relatable messages, and a disarming sense of humour.

He’s spent years learning the craft of songwriting and is taking those tools to write some of his most personal songs.
