=0D=0A=Talel McBriar:
=0D=0A=A singer-songwriter originally from Nelson BC, Talel is currently based out of Vancouver. Her sound merges traditional folk with alternative rock influences, and the 22-year-old’s haunting voice delivers reflective and insightful lyrics.
=0D=0A="Talel effortlessly conveys her discomfort with the present times in a way I once thought required three or four times her life experience," says Josh Lehman, producer of The 6 Mile Sessions. Raised on classic and alternative rock, trained in classical piano, and introduced to guitar through the bluegrass scene in her teens, Talel's influences are vast and evident in her unique sound. In 2018, her original song October won her and bandmate Ella Korth a Kootenay Music Award for ‘Best Original Roots Song.’ Talel's debut EP titled Flood Season was released on July 8th, 2022, and throughout the Summer of 2022, Talel and her band toured extensively to support her debut EP release.
=0D=0A=John Michael Lind
=0D=0A=It all began with a vision, a dream of playing music on a festival stage in front of 10,000 people, a vision so vivid and real that it drove John Michael Lind (JML) to hit the road in his old GMC van, playing for audiences large and small all over Western Canada – from dinky dive joints to huge festival stages. Everywhere John goes he makes fans; everywhere he goes he creates connection – heart to heart, song by song, with his brand of “folk rock from the 60s & 70s” and his sweet original songs.
=0D=0A=John has performed hundreds of shows and to thousands of people in venues ranging from dive bars to festival stages. Dedicated, dogged touring throughout Western Canada has put meat on his chops, and burned through several sets of tires on the trusty ol’ GMC van he calls Georgie.
=0D=0A=Audiences everywhere love his voice, his spirit, and the heart-based connection they experience at a JML show.
=0D=0A=Get out to see John Michael Lind as soon as you can.
