Living Roots Music Festival recognizes that it is situated

 on unceded, unsurrendered Wolastoqey Territory.

Union Duke is two fifths country, two fifths city, and one fifth whiskey. They have been described as a raucous collision of alt-rock and twang, bringing crowds to their feet with songs from the heart. Soaring harmonies, driving rhythm, and an infectious enthusiasm have seen these five guys from youth to young manhood and helped carve out a space for themselves in the annals of Canadiana.

With three full-length albums, many singles, countless festival stages, thousands of records sold, and hundreds of thousands of kilometres of road behind them, the band is excited to be touring new music and winning new fans on their return to the endless highway.

During their latest hiatus due to the Covid years, Union Duke has been writing furiously and are excited to bring new music to their loyal fans. If you hope to catch them live, you better get your tickets early, because these fellas have a knack for selling out shows months in advance. Catch them while you can!

Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, Lynne Hanson’s brand of porch music with a little red dirt can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. Her hard living music has garnered her the nickname “Canada’s Queen of Americana.” And while her deep, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it’s the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart. 

Winner of two Canadian Folk Music Awards, Hanson is known for her high energy, roots guitar driven live performances, whether playing solo or with her band the Good Intentions. She has an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming.
