Performing this weekend (please scroll down for the full schedule):
Friday, July 24 at 6 pm: Jennifer Foster and David Celia (@jenniferfostermusic @davidceliamusic)
ABOUT: Jennifer Foster is one of those rare artists who feels instantly familiar yet entirely her own – an under-the-radar Canadian singer-songwriter who’s musical storytelling takes you places you don’t expect.
Her new album Powerline – called “wonderful” by Ron Sexsmith – is an acoustic-driven collection of folk-pop songs and her most personal to date. Many of the songs were inspired by the New Brunswick farm where she grew up – reflections on relationship, loss, and change.
Powerline marks Foster’s fourth release. Her previous album earned a JUNO nomination for Producer of the Year (Michael Phillip Wojewoda), and she’s collaborated widely across the Canadian music community with artists including Ron Sexsmith, Carole Pope, Lori Cullen, Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies), Moe Berg, and The Pursuit of Happiness. You might also recognize her from five seasons singing as a “Jazzagal” on Schitt’s Creek. Whether she’s playing with her five-piece band or holding a room solo, it’s her warmth and authenticity that draw audiences in.

From the outskirts of Toronto, Canada, David Celia is an innovative singer/songwriter and astonishing guitar player, known for his catchy, feel good, Beatlesque style. He tours frequently across Canada and Europe (Glastonbury Festival x7, England’s Small World & Great Escape festivals, and performing at Trafalgar Square, London for Canada Day), and is quoted as “One of Toronto’s best guitar players” by CBC Radio.

Saturday, July 25 at 11 am: Rebecca Campbell
ABOUT: Rebecca Campbell is a singer, musician, arranger, songwriter, and arts worker. She plays Stella guitar, percussion, harmonica, and melodica. But mostly, she sings. She collaborates with others to create music in multiple genres, both up front and backup.
She began her career in Ottawa, and has called Toronto home since 1996. She has performed alongside countless individuals and ensembles for over four decades, on stages large and tiny, across Canada, the US, and the world. Her voice has graced the big and small screen, her choral arrangements have been sung by choirs across the world, and she has sung on over two hundred recordings.
When not singing, Rebecca produces live events, serves on The TRANZAC Board of Directors, stage manages Mariposa’s Main Stage, hosts and techs rehearsals at Ratspace Rehearsal and Recording, creates photographic and graphic art, and always… speaks truth to power.
Notable musical collaborations include Bec and Rusty, The Black Donnellys, Cut Flowers, Fat Man Waving, Justin Haynes, Hold The Bus, Microbunny, Lynn Miles, Meredith Monk, Parachute Club, Porkbelly Futures, Radio Dial, Royal Ottawa, Jane Siberry, The Savants, Soul Medicine, the SPECIAL INTEREST Group, Sultans of String, Ben Sures, Ian Tamblyn, Tiny Sun, Three Sheets To The Wind, Isabel and The Uncommons, Carol Ann Weaver, and many more.

On Sunday, July 26 at 12 pm: Chinyi C with J.E. Lopez (@chinyimusic)
ABOUT: With a voice like a clear blue sky, Singapore-born, Toronto-based Chinyi C writes music that feels like a hug from your favourite person. Honest, soothing, and thoughtful, she tells stories of memory and healing through intimate lyricism and lush fingerpicking with folk-pop elements. Her songs navigate the complexities of the Southeast Asian diaspora and the longing for permanency that underscores many immigrant experiences. Her latest single, Everything is Changing, released in October 2025.
Chinyi C first broke into the indie folk music scene with her debut six-song EP, All We Are (2022). In 2024, she released her single, Human, a folk and chamber-pop exploration accompanied by a music video that she co-directed featuring 27 people in Ontario. Chinyi is currently working on her next recording project and has performed with collaborators including the Toronto Reference Library, Jade Music Festival in Vancouver and Taiwan, Sofar Sounds Toronto, Pearson International Airport’s YYZ Live, and Small World Centre.
