Some stories are just better to tell through song.

Queer X Folk: 2SLGBTQIA+ Songwriters in the Round brings together extraordinary LGBTQIA2+ singer-songwriters for an intimate evening of original music, storytelling, and connection. Taking turns “in the round,” each artist shares songs they’ve written, the stories behind them, and the lived experiences that shaped them, creating an event that is as heartfelt as it is unforgettable.

Featuring acclaimed artists Jack Pine (Ottawa), Noah Malcolm (PEI), Izzy Silver (PEI), and Mattie Comeau (Mi'kmaw, New Brunswick), this one-of-a-kind performance celebrates queer voices, identity, and the transformative power of music. Blending folk, pop, Indigenous storytelling, and deeply personal songwriting, each performer offers a unique perspective while inviting audiences into a shared space of honesty, laughter, and belonging.

Whether you’re drawn to soaring melodies, thoughtful lyrics, or the magic that happens when artists share a stage together, Queer X Folk: 2SLGBTQIA+ Songwriters in the Round promises an evening of authenticity, vulnerability, and exceptional musicianship.

Featuring

JACK PINE — Gatineau, QC
Jack Pine is an indie folk lone wolf. With smouldering intensity, he sings out the beauty of the wreckage and the heart of the wretch. His songs chase an incredulous ray of hope pulled straight from the daydreams of a kind-hearted pre-millennial slacker in a dystopian post-millennial world. Jack Pine and The Fire released their debut album in 2011 to critical acclaim and followed it with Left To Our Own Devices in 2017, earning a Canadian Folk Music Award emerging artist nomination and a JUNO nomination for its artwork.
