With a Cuban-American lead singer, garage band ferocity, an intense live show and a deep love of both romance and pure country to go with the polyrhythmic beats The Mavericks were raised on, they were unlikely superstars. Their raucous sound broke ground for the Country format with hits like “Here Comes The Rain,” “Crying Shame,” “Dance The Night Away” and “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down” and scored the group industry awards in prestigious categories like Vocal Group and Album of the Year, in addition to a GRAMMY Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Following up the massive success of 2013’s IN TIME, The Mavericks released their highly anticipated follow-up on The Valory Music Co., MONO, aptly titled after the way in which the album was recorded. Ascending to a multi-week #1 on the Americana radio chart, MONO received rave reviews from the likes of Los Angeles Times, NPR, Associated Press and

The Boston Globe.. The Mavericks were recently named the Duo/Group of the Year at the Americana Music Awards and fans can catch their performance when the show airs on PBS November 21. The eccentric entertainers continue to deliver with the one-of-a-kind musical fusion of RAUL MALO, whose signature tenor fronts The Mavericks, and his comrades – PAUL DEAKIN (Percussion), EDDIE PEREZ (Guitars) and JERRY DALE MCFADDEN (Keyboards). “Country’s coolest, most versatile band” (Rolling StoneCountry) have proven “they’ve caught lightning in a bottle yet again” (Vintage Guitar) as the Grammy winners continue to bring people to their feet across the globe – and into an indescribable musical trance – on tier headline MONO MUNDO TOUR. Making the most relevant music of their career, that according to NPR, “became great by cutting through the din in smoky rooms where studio tricks didn't factor in — only a killer voice, indelible hooks and the ability to draw in even the most distracted listeners,” it appears The Mavericks are once again defying the odds.

Alternative rock band formed in 1986 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Moonfruits—led by Ottawa-based partners Alex Millaire and Kaitlin Milroy—craft contemporary folk, organically alternating between French and English, that addresses our collective humanity with heart, wit, and wonder. This Stingray Rising Star, SOCAN, and Trille Or award-winning group has toured their transportive live show across Canada, the US, France, Belgium, and Germany.

Moonfruits’ lushly orchestrated sophomore album, Salt (Oct. 2022), is a 12-song suite that explores what it means to the band to live, dream, and raise a child in an era of climate change and deepening inequality. It tells the stories of their families and the kinds of communities they hope to help build.

Moonfruits est créateur d’un folk contemporain qui adresse notre humanité avec coeur, esprit et émerveillement. Mené par conjoints-complices Alex Millaire et Kaitlin Milroy, Moonfruits chevauche français et en anglais tant dans leur plume que sur scène, une réflection de leur jour-le-jour à Ottawa. Le groupe aux harmonies parfois envoûtantes, parfois retentissantes prône des arrangements délibérés et propres à chacune de ses univers-chansons.

Le deuxième album à grand dépouillement de Moonfruits, Salt (2022), offre 12 chansons richement orchestrées qui explorent ce que veut dire de vivre, rêver et élever un enfant dans une époque de changements climatiques et d’inégalité socio-économique croissante. Elle raconte l’histoire de leurs familles et le genre de communautés qu'ils espèrent aider à bâtir.

Born and raised in Sandpoint Idaho, Shook Twins are an Indie folk-pop band now hailing from coniferous forested Portland, Oregon. Identical twins, Katelyn and Laurie Shook, Kyle Volkman and Niko Daoussis form the core quartet. Central elements of the Shook Twins' sound are a wide range of instrumentation, including banjo, guitar, electric and upright bass, mandolin, electric guitar, electronic drums, face drum (beatbox), glockenspiel, ukulele, banjo drumming  and their signature golden EGG. Beautiful twin harmonies, layered upon acoustic and electric instrumentation coupled with Laurie’s inventive use of percussive and ambient vocal loops, and Katelyn’s repurposed telephone microphone, set their sound apart, creating a unique and eccentric blend of folk, roots, groove and soul.   

Each Shook Twins song tells a story, distinctive, sharp, genuine, and well – sometimes quirky. Drawing from their life experience, select subjects include, being potters’ daughters, imagined superpowers and a chicken named ‘Rose’ they befriended. Shook Twins also pull out unexpected takes on classic hits, retellings of their musician friends’ songs, heartfelt ballads and rhythm driven dance numbers.   

After releasing their first album "You Can Have the Rest," the twin sisters moved to Portland in December of 2009, conceptualizing their 2011 release "Window" (featuring Bonnie Paine and Bridget Law of Elephant Revival). Both albums were recorded and produced in Santa Cruz, California, at InDigital Studios. Favorable reviews, extensive radio airplay and a busy tour schedule have created an ever growing fan base & kudos from many major musicians. Shook Twins and their full band, including Niko Daoussis (mandolin, electric guitar, vocals), Kyle Volkman (bass), Anna Tivel (violin, vocals), and Russ Kleiner (drum kit, percussion), recently finished recording their third album “What We Do” (releasing 4/8/14) with Grammy nominated producer Ryan Hadlock at Bear Creek Studios as well as partnering and recording an album, with fellow Portland musician Ben Darwish on his epic concept piece, "The Clear Blue Pearl."  

National and regional press accolades have poured in since the April 8th, 2014 release of "What We Do," including USA Today touting, "The Portland, Ore., folk group is ready to rattle the music world with its 'What We Do' album." Acoustic Guitar Magazine says, "'What We Do' is a nearly flawless album that pushes the band into unexplored sonic territory…this is a band that packs a tremendous amount of artistry and talent into their compositions." Indie-music mecca Portland, OR's weekly newspaper Portland Mercury states, "'What We Do' is the sound of two preternaturally talented siblings making the music they want to make with a wide-eyed sense of wonder and the good sense to absorb whatever the world puts in their path."  

Shook Twins have shared the stage with artists including: Gregory Alan Isakov, Elephant Revival, Langhorne Slim, Laura Veirs, Indigo Girls, Mason Jennings, Ryan Adams, Blitzen Trapper and many more!

Eclectic, amusing and whimsical, Shook Twins' laid-back and fun stage presence draws the listener in, allowing them to take the audience away on the adventure that is their live show.
