Smokin Joe radiates the soul of Johnny Cash, the sensuality of the Grateful Dead and the style of Woody Guthrie wrapped up in a folk/roots package! Smokin Joe’s somewhere between "Ringo Starr and the Grateful Dead" 

With a voice that leaves you breathless and songs that spark and ignite in your soul Karla Adolphe is a deep thinking and tangibly emotive artist. She deftly combines her powerful voice, lyrical words, and curated storytelling into a transcendent experience for her devoted audiences.

Over the past 13 years, Karla Adolphe has created a diverse career for herself touring North America in a 40ft RV performing as a solo artist, in the roots duo Jacob and Lily, and in the Colorado duo The Emporiums and with Colorado gospel outfit Enter The Worship Circle. Karla's 2012 release Honeycomb Tombs, is a stand-alone album inspired by and devoted to the subject of grief. With over 30,000 downloads this album has been a balm to listeners worldwide.

In 2013, Karla and her family lost there home in the great Southern Alberta Floods, needless to say, there have been many years of personal growth, healing and dormancy leading to 3 new songs being released in 2020. The new work dives deep into topics of suffering, overcoming, and resilience as Karla explores what it is to find one’s true voice.

Stephen Fearing is a celebrated troubadour, revered for his vivid, lyrical songwriting, masterful guitar work, and a voice described as melodic and cobalt. Over a career spanning decades, he has released 16 critically acclaimed solo albums, earned two JUNO Awards, and collaborated with legends of modern roots music. Co-founder of Canadian roots-rock giants Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Fearing has built a legacy of genre-busting music that captures the human condition in all its messy splendour. “I am a storyteller much more than a singer/songwriter,” Fearing reflects, “because I understand my story is less interesting than The Story.”
