Fraser

Growing up in the farmland of Ontario, Fraser spent summers cutting trees with a chainsaw, some climbing ropes and a white pickup truck from the Nineties, and winters studying English Literature at school in the city. In 2006 he took a few days off to record The January Project with engineer Glen Teeple at the Music Room in rural Ontario. Fraser moved 1000 copies of the album playing occasional local shows over the next two years while finishing his degree and keeping his tree company running.

Vanessa Peters

Vanessa Peters’s musical style is sometimes alt-country, sometimes folk-pop, and always just a little hard to pin down. The Dallas Observer called her “the best kind of singer-songwriter: astute enough to explore the deeper recesses of relationships but tough enough to avoid the pitfalls of sentimentality.” Born in Texas on September 16, 1980, Vanessa studied literature and creative writing and intended to pursue a career as a novelist and short-story writer. Crippling stage fright made it unlikely that music would ever have been her final destination.
