BC-based singer-songwriter Talel McBriar merges traditional folk with alternative rock influences to produce songs that ring with honest lyrics and raw melodies.

Evident in her debut EP titled Flood Season, Talel’s writing distills her experiences into authentic and insightful ballads. “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. In 2018 Talel and her bandmate, Ella Korth, won a Kootenay Music Awards for Best Original Roots song. Her debut EP release titled Flood Season was released in July 2022 via indie label Catapult Recordings.

Remember Saturday mornings? David Bertrand does.

Kids today may not realize the significance of the Saturday morning ritual, but once upon a time, we had to wait a whole week to get our cartoon fix, and when we got it, we tended to binge. Well – welcome to the Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat Cereal Cartoon Party – that special time when kids and kids-at-heart get to relive the exciting Saturday Morning ritual of non-stop retro cartoons, and binge on the multi-colored sugary cereals that used to be a part of every “balanced” breakfast! The cartoon lineup is always a mystery, but expect to see monsters, sci-fi, sleuths, superheroes and all kinds of 2D silliness, both faves and obscurities spanning the ’30s through the ’90s, all punctuated with vintage commercials, PSAs and station IDs for a 3-hour trip down memory lane! So get ready for a sugar rush and an explosion of nostalgia all wrapped up in one candy-coated package.

David Bertrand is a film programmer, musician, writer, and Film/TV production multitasker who took over the torch of curating the The Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat-Cereal Cartoon Party in 2020 from Kier-La Janisse (who founded the series in 2003).

Madeleine Roger is a folk singer-songwriter from Winnipeg, Canada.

While skillfully accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, it is her artistry as a songwriter and storyteller that can silence a room, uniting her lyrical prowess with breathtaking melodies that linger long after they are sung. Her critically-acclaimed debut album Cottonwood is a collection of songs that reflect on femininity and equality, the majesty of the wilderness, and the beautiful awkwardness of trying to love another person. Her sophomore album “Nerve”, coming August 2024, is a deeply personal body of work examining every nook and cranny of love and loss, and touches the exposed nerve left over from a breakup with a long-term lover and musical collaborator, the death of a soul-friend, a prolonged illness, unrequited love, months of caring for a dying grandparent, and finding peace in spite of it.
