Madeline Finn

Madeline Finn touches on a wide range of sonic directions in her solo work: sparse folk, meditative piano ballads, twangy rock, and string-laced indie. Luckily, the Cleveland-raised singer-songwriter is also the rare vocal talent with the range to handle just about any music she wants to write. She’ll howl and whisper, rage and mourn, croon and conspire—always with breathtaking precision and heart-piercing sincerity.

A Top 70 American Idol finalist in 2018, Finn has also been a winner of the John Lennon Singer-Songwriter Love Songs contest in 2020, and has single ‘Whippoorwill’ featured on Hulu’s hit series Dollface season 2. She released a solo album Trial By Fire in 2020 mixed by Dave Schiffman (Jimmy Eat Word, Weezer, Frank Turner). Recent singles, ‘On the Line’, ‘Asleep in the Driveway’, ‘Whippoorwill’ and ‘Ohio,’ were produced by Ben Cramer (Old Sea Brigade) and Owen Lewis (Phillip Phillips, Lady Gaga). Finn now resides in her newly adopted hometown of Nashville.

JOBIE

The music of Josie Arthur’s indie-folk project, JOBIE, exists in a transitory space; one rife with constant questioning and heart-wrenching truths. This independent singer-songwriter’s discography turns a mirror inward, with JOBIE acting as a reflection of all of Arthur’s experiences; a musical vessel for processing an ongoing life.

Since releasing her debut single, “Half Way,” in April of 2021, JOBIE has spent much of her time as a rising artist alternating between her hometown of Richmond Virginia, and Boston, where she graduated from Emerson College in 2023. While studying at Emerson, JOBIE pursued many creative endeavors, producing a handful of music videos with her friends and earning an Evvy award for her track, “All for One.” JOBIE has also received recognition outside of Emerson, being featured in a profile for the Boston Globe, as well as opening for artists such as Ezra Furman and Sidney Gish.

JOBIE is an unflinchingly honest representation of all of Arthur’s experiences on this earth; she wears her heart on her sleeve, as every song in her discography could easily be mistaken as a private diary entry written in confidence between the pages of her worn Moleskine notebook.

Sonically sorting through her psyche, JOBIE masterfully elucidates upon these confounding concepts and emotions, demystifying the human experience for all that come across her music.

Though, songwriting is more than just an auditory sensation for the singer-songwriter — because of her synesthesia, the act of creating music is quite literally like painting a blank canvas. A brilliant array of colors accompany every note she writes, happily lending their hues to her artistry.

With JOBIE’s debut record, Grendel (independently released Jan. 6), the musician reintroduces herself to the world, chipping away at the façade that she once tried so hard to maintain. Produced by Russell Lacy, Grendel is a cathartic excavation of thoughts that have been swirling around JOBIE’s mind since early adolescence. Looking at her inner child through a refracted mirror, she pieces the jagged shards together to create a new reflection. Rife with glowy slide guitar licks, rosy vocals, and snappy musical hooks, she provides the perfect soundtrack for meditative inner-reckoning. With the release of Grendel, JOBIE finally stops asking herself, “Who should I be?” instead opting to ponder, “Who do I want to be?” — accepting that the so-called ‘monster’ within was always worthy of love after all.

No longer the odd one out, JOBIE’s artistry exists to shed light on the human experiences that we all believe we are experiencing alone. Hoping to bend the rules of what art is, and can be, it goes without saying that JOBIE will continue to be a guiding light in the darkness of life; illuminating the way with her stark authenticity and refreshing humility.

Taylor Abrahamse

If you’re singing along to a song you don’t know, and suddenly feeling 10 years younger – you’re probably at a Taylor Abrahamse concert. Like a maple leaf in a gust above the Ontario prairies, Taylor floats blissfully between the borders of song, gender & genre with his/her deftly crafted, hook-laden hammerclaw pop. A Paul Simon/Jim Carrey crossbreed, he’ll leave you laughing, touched, and even singing along – if you can reach that high.

Starting as a five-year-old Elvis impersonator at county fairs, at age 6, Taylor vowed to never ‘grow up’ in the typical sense, and to always hold onto a sense of play. At 11, he began songwriting, inspired by listening to CDs in the dark by artists such as like Elton John and Queen, while his imagination painted transcendental music videos in his head. At sixteen, he was a finalist on Canadian Idol, and was regularly playing across Ontario.

Fresh from a 2024 Home Routes house concert tour, Taylor is also a 2021 Kerrville Newfolk winner, Canadian Idol & Mariposa finalist, and co-founder of Silverthorn Studios, a much-loved Toronto recording studio which is hopeful to re-open in partnership with venue Hugh’s Room Live. He produced & mixed his 2020 Factor/TAC supported debut album in partnership with the great Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, KISS, etc). Along with four singles, acclaimed self-directed & produced music videos, airplay across Canada and a Deluxe Edition released in 2021, it’s release sparked a chance to open for multi-Juno-winner Hawksley Workman (one of Taylor’s childhood music heroes!), and a US & Canada tour. Her newest release, ‘Live In Lockdown Vol 1’, was one of many projects Taylor wrote & recorded during a tumultuous farewell to the original Silverthorn Studios space. During its final five weeks, he managed to track versions of over 120 original songs, with frequent musical guests – and often livestreamed. His upcoming project, made possible in part by the Ontario Arts Council, will make use of some of these recordings.
