Ottawa native Kathleen Edwards spent 2010/2011 cooped up recording a new record with co-producer Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver). The first fruits of their labour can be heard on the just released 7" entitled Wapusk. The full-length album, Voyageur, is scheduled for release in January 2012.
Since the release of her debut LP, Failer (2003), Kathleen has toured across Canada, USA and Europe several times over, sharing the stages with the likes of My Morning Jacket, John Doe and Willie Nelson. Along the way Kathleen has garnered critical acclaim for her live shows as well as multiple Juno Award nominations for Back To Me (2005) and Asking For Flowers (2008), which also earned her a spot on the Polaris Prize short list.

Hannah Georgas
Trumping the name of her critically adored debut album, Hannah Georgas has had a better than “Good” year since releasing her debut This Is Good in April, 2010. This Is Good, produced by Ryan Guldemond (Mother Mother) and Howard Redekopp (Tegan and Sara, You Say Party, New Pornographers), displays a montage of a self-assured singer-songwriter and rock heroine. The dynamic Georgas is equally comfortable riling up a club crowd with the aptly named “Dancefloor” as she is melting hearts with cabaret number “Something For You.” Her unmistakable voice carries the weight of moody “Thick Skin,” while also lifting the fist-up-in-the-air attitude of album opener “Chit Chat.” The Vancouver-based Georgas and her debut have garnered national acclaim that’s almost too numerous to count.
As for what inspires her to be so prolific, Georgas comments, “I’m pretty open; songs for me are personal and I have no choice but to share them. Somebody else may be going through the same thing as me and you might be helping somebody.” Georgas has found a growing eager audience for her heartfelt and pithy pop tunes. After spending 2010 largely on the road, a full-length follow-up to This Is Good can be expected in 2012.
