THE LONG WAR
“The Long War is a Vancouver-based band known for their captivating blend of indie rock and folk. The group gained national attention after winning the 2017 CBC Searchlight competition with their award-winning song "Breathe In Breathe Out." Their evocative lyrics and harmonious melodies, showcased in their debut album "Landscapes," reflect the diverse and dynamic spirit of Canada's west coast. Building on their success, they released their second album, "Under a Heavy Sky," further cementing their reputation with its introspective themes and rich soundscapes. The Long War continues to resonate with audiences, delivering powerful performances and heartfelt music. Their recent, "The Beautiful/Sad EP," supported by FACTOR and Creative BC, adds another layer to their evolving sound, blending poignant lyrics with their signature harmonious style.”

D.L. FORREST
“Daniel L. Forrest is a singer songwriter from Lenni Lanape land (“Philadelphia, PA”), now based in Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh lands (“Vancouver, BC”). DL grew up spending summers at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, but until 2022, remained a fan of the genre, while he wrote indie rock songs in the band, Buddie. Yearning for that comfort of home, a switch went off when attending the Vancouver Folk Festival. Now, inspired by North American folk music he grew up on, DL combined his favorite parts of folk, rock, Americana, and pop. In his latest batch of songs, he speaks about the overwhelming grief in the air, puts a magnifying glass to day-to-day life, and finds joy in music and community.”
