JukeBox County is the stage name of Rich Tyo, whose prolific songwriting ranges from voodoo blues and gospel to astro-folk and rock. He creates sounds that are both danceable and introspective. The idea behind JukeBox County is to have a broad range of styles and sounds conveying a myriad of moods all the while embracing the root of good songwriting: storytelling. Drawing from influences such as Neil Young, Nick Drake, Ween, Velvet Underground, and The Beatles, JukeBox County music contains deep dialogues about what makes us human and how we cope with the questions that come with this profound and (at times) disheartening existence.

Rich has developed numerous music-based mental health education programs for at-risk youth, he’s published his poetry in anthologies, and has spoken internationally on health, psychedelics, spirituality, and transpersonal development.

These past projects have been his main artistic endeavours of the past decade. Now, after years of community art-based education and lots of songwriting, JukeBox County will be releasing his first full length album with multi-instrumentalist and producer, Hugh Christopher Brown (Wolfe Island Records). The album, Inner Space Outer Space, is a fun and engaging album filled with songs that emerge from his experiences out on the streets working as a mental health crisis worker, in liminal realms, and from being witness to life’s hardships and the will to overcome through faith, compassion, firm grounding, and connecting to one’s passions above all else. The album will be released in Spring of 2021!

Join Jukebox County on a trip to inner space and outer space—the places of wonder and imagination, isolation and connection, alien abductions and re-discovering the deepest wisdom inside ourselves and connecting with all that is in this vast universe.

Fakejazz Orchestra is a Kinston-based, jazz-adjacent duo comprised of Nicholas Lennox (saxophones) and Henry Lawrence (drums). Despite their minimalist instrumentation, this unlikely pairing conveys a dynamic and mighty sound, offering fresh interpretations of jazz, funk, and rock standards. With this project, Lennox and Lawrence harness years of prior collaboration to create a new experience that is at once tightly calculated and highly exploratory. Taking inspiration from small horn-based ensembles such as Moon Hooch and Too Many Zooz, Fakejazz Orchestra brings a full band’s worth of energy with half the players, one note at a time.

Super K is a four-piece, instrumental group based in Vancouver, bc. their songs intertwine melodies inspired by traditional Balkan music with contemporary sounds of surf, psych and electronic music.

“Dense Dense Dense delivered an electrifying debut at the Toucan, weaving heavy tones that resonated deeply into the uncharted, I felt as if it transcended the ordinary experience, a psychedelic journey that liberated the soul! An unforgettable night which I felt fortunate to be part of ….I am so stoked for their next performance! The boys, have something special!” - Josh Garrett

“I have waxed poetic many times about looking for artists that embrace a true hard rock sound…having discovered The Glorious Sons as true modern day pioneers of the hard rock genre, I am delighted to acknowledge Toronto singer/songwriter Joan Smith as a very worthy addition to this list.”
– greatdarkwonder.com

Joan Smith & the Jane Does are leaving an indelible mark on Canada’s rock scene. Praised by Great Dark Wonder for their authentic hard rock sound, they’ve quickly earned a place in the alt rock landscape. Their debut album, “Do Me Some Harm”, was produced by band member Tom Juhas and mixed by Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures).

Smith, she of “towering pipes and a remarkable dirty guitar tone” (torontomusicreviews.com), and guitarist/producer Tom Juhas form the Jane Does – a female fronted dance rock machine with cutting vocals that amp up to the edge of sanity, pulsing rock beats and relentless guitars which remind noted radio personality and music historian Jeff Woods of ‘Queens of the Stone Age and Stevie Nicks’. That comparison is no coincidence – The Jane Does have packed Toronto’s Legendary Horseshoe Tavern multiple times covering QOTSA’s ‘Songs for the Deaf’ along with ‘Lullabies to Paralyze’ in their entirety, and their work with Alain Johannes on “Do Me Some Harm” exemplifies this influence.

Funkifying today’s hits with fresh twists, Nice On compels you to get up and get DOWN.

Smooth, soulful power vocals meet fun punchy percussion, heavy basslines, filthy guitar licks, soaring sax solos and rich keys rhythms. There’s something for everyone here.

Comprised of some of Kingston’s most skilled and promising young musicians, members of Nice On met in the music scene and admired one another’s skills enough to form a supergroup of up and coming talent. During live shows, the positive energy is palpable, and the band feeds off it to create a delightfully unpredictable and joyful atmosphere.

It’s Nice On the ears.

A 3-piece force of nature, The Bird Boys (of The Jailbirds) are a band you must see live. Not long after the release of their debut EP, ‘The Black River’, the band was nominated for and won “Best Rock” at the 2018 Mississauga Music Awards and since then, won "Best Live Band" at the 2022 MM Awards. The Jailbirds have drawn comparisons to the likes of Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Deep Purple, Monster Truck, Royal Blood and other such bands. They have molded the rock genre into something entirely their own with their blend of classic rock, modern rock, grunge and popular music.

The Jailbirds are known for their on-stage heavy hitting sound and their dedication to their respective instruments. They crave creating art and living a life full of new experiences, taking their craft seriously but not so much themselves.
