About the Artists:
Chris Oday has made a name for himself with his smooth, vintage R&B sound. Never one to take himself too seriously, his performances are marked by good humour and a warm atmosphere. A talented multi-instrumentalist, Chris self-produced his debut hit Complicated, which garnered over 400,000 Spotify streams and was featured on several Spotify editorial playlists, including New Music Friday and Mood Ring. Inspired by artists like Leon Bridges, Childish Gambino, and Daniel Caesar, Chris brings a fresh yet timeless energy to every performance. His deep appreciation for soul and R&B shines through in his emotive guitar playing and rich vocals, making each song feel intimate and personal. Anytime Chris takes the stage, his passion for music and ability to connect with audiences create an unforgettable experience. Find out more on Chris’s website here.
Wild Bloom – Fiddle, folk and emotional three-part harmony is the essence of Wild Bloom. The trio was formed in Toronto, Ontario by musicians Becky Leigh, Brittany Iwanciwski, and Alyssa Tess. With rich emotive vocals, lush harmonies, and captivating fiddle improvisation, Becky, Brittany, and Alyssa combine their years of musical expertise to blend singer songwriter and fiddle styles to create beautiful and evocative music. Together, Wild Bloom weaves friendship and stories with their fem folk sound to share music that speaks to the heart.
✨ Bonus: Our camper bar will be open at each event, serving up refreshing drinks to keep the good vibes flowing! 🍺
