Boreal…

Canadian singer-songwriters Tannis Slimmon, Katherine Wheatley and Angie Nussey form the powerhouse trio Boreal. Their album Winterbirds earned Canadian Folk Music Award nominations for Album, Ensemble, and Vocal Group of the Year. On stage, they are warm, funny, and deeply connecting, with exquisite harmonies and inventive vocal arrangements. Rooted in Ontario and Manitoba, Boreal weaves their stories into a unique sound where three distinct voices—earthy, improvisational, and untamed—come together in thrilling, moving songs.

Lucky us, we are part of the group of artists kicking things off at the Downtown Orillia location on Thursday (July 2nd) which is open to the public. We play at 6pm, but be sure to arrive early so you can catch @EvaKabande at 5pm…and maybe plan to stick around for Wreckless Harbour and our good friend Lloyd Spiegel (we performed with him at Hillside last year).Then, on the weekend, it’s: Saturday (July 4th) at 1:30 on the Estelle Klein Stage. Sunday (July 5th) at 1:25 on the Ruth Stage. Come and see us at 3:30pm on either day in the merch tent. One or some of us will be there to greet you! Can’t wait!
