Mo Kenney never had that archetypal I-want-to-be-famous moment. But somehow she was always going to make albums, play live & get noticed in her native Canada & way beyond. Maybe the clues were there in the way she saved up her lunch money to buy records, begged her parents to book guitar lessons for her & made demos in the modest recording facility at a school she wasn't even attending. Now, Kenney's brilliantly accomplished ‘In My Dreams,' one of Canada's most acclaimed records of...
"We didn't want anything to do with it," says Matt Ellis, who sings and plays guitar in Villages and grew up in Cape Breton. "Our siblings played the fiddle or the pipe—we wanted to play something loud. But it's in you, man. You can't escape it."
That's how Ellis ended up fronting his own traditional band, along with his brother Travis, Jon Pearo and Archie Rankin, a group of men you may also know as the excellent rock band Mardeen (or as Ellis puts it, "all the same crew"). That band, a longtime local favourite known for...

Petunia is more than just an entertainer, he’s a modern musical enigma.

This is just one way of describing the man known simply as Petunia. He’s an adventure seeker, a poker player, and […]
