Women are not just rising in the music industry—they are reshaping it. Wired Magazine predicts they will dominate, dismantle, and redefine the industry, “anchoring the cultural conversation” and driving its future!

Angela Macdonald : Based in Sydney, NS, Angela MacDonald, is a singer-songwriter and guitar player whose music can be best described as indie/folk alternative. Following in the footsteps of her aunt, Rita MacNeil, who inspired her to write and invited her to share the stage on several occasions. Her work as a solo artist captures a timeless essence, with a resonant, powerful and haunting voice complimenting her lyrical songwriting style.

Sonnie Greening : In addition to her work in music industry development, Sonnie is an emerging artist who has been evolving as a finger style guitarist and vocalist over the last three years, performing both as a solo singer songwriter and as one half of The Brackish duo. Rooted in indie acoustic folk, her style has branched into blues and rock with a gyspy jazz flair, she approaches music as an opportunity to relate and connect over the less tangible aspects of the human condition.

Colette Deveaux : Colette writes and performs solo and as a part of the band The Claudias. Through her music she explores personal stories, social issues, and themes of love and life. Inspired by memories, experiences, and the lives of others, her style is playful, engaging, and poignant—reflecting her keen ear for stories and details.

Abbey Mullendore : A Lake Ainslie born sensation, Abbey’s killer power rock vocals will take you right back to the 70s, so it’s no surprise that she has been reprising Stevie Nicks, note for note, in the Classic Albums Live tour in addition to her solo work as a songwriter and being entrepreneur in local farming. Her mushrooms might not be magical, but her voice is!

Stressed Out Charlee :This Ontario born jane of all trades and multi-instrumentalist is a solo singer songwriter on guitar with a voice that inspires 90’s nostalgia! In addition to her solo work, she teaches youth dance classes, upcycles local seaglass into wrap necklaces for her etsy shop, and absolutely rocks lead vocals on the drum kit for Cape Breton born band, Claverhouse! She is the living embodiment of soulful blues and uncompromising rock n’ roll.
