More about your new favourite artists:

First to take the stage is the tongue-in-cheek, humber & talented: Taplin -

Taplin is an okay band from Toronto that blends alternative rock, indie pop, and funk together. Even though they’re not very good, they give it their all. Hopefully, Taplin’s distinctive, nostalgic sound will bring you immense pleasure and joy.

----

Following our incredible opener, we have the incredible: John Manoukarakis -

From picking up a guitar as a kid, to helping forming Toronto’s rock band How Can We Save You, John’s journey continues with his own solo project. With a wide range of influence from bands like Led Zeppelin and Audioslave, he blends classic, indie and melodic grunge rock with elements of jazz and blues sprinkled in. John Manoukarakis is a unique musician who captures all emotional rollercoasters through his poetic lyricism, and intense chord structure. 

----

& last but not least, our stellar headliner: ELIA -

If you want to be transported back to the feeling of teenage mischief, you’ll want to add ELIA to your playlist. This singer songwriter channels life’s ups and downs into her music, influenced by a childhood filled with melodies. Blending personal experiences with a rock and punk instrumentation, ELIA brings back the 2000s nostalgia discussing the topics that reflect the rollercoasters of youth - from failed relationships to personal growth and reflection. ELIA believes in connecting and inspiring people with her music and guarantees nothing but a fun and down to earth experience.
