Named Penguin Eggs & Roots Music Canada's New Discovery of the Year, Montraler Aleksi Campagne blends his folk songwriting roots with an edgy, multi-layered sound resulting from his unique combination of voice, violin and looping-effect pedals. His debut album is nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award. Singer-songwriter Sarah Peacock draws parallels between current events and the 1692 Salem Witch Trials with the title song to her new record, Burn the Witch (March 27, 2020). Finger-picking guitar work cleanses the throat as her voice swells to mimic the havoc strewn through time.
