Ingrid Gatin

A little bit gypsy, a little bit soul, a little bit of a lot. Ingrid Gatin makes eclectic beautiful with accordion, piano, vocals, handclaps, footstomps, and tambourine. Cast as one of Winnipeg's up-and-coming singer/songwriter/arrangers, Ingrid is getting ready to take Canada by storm. Three years ago, Ingrid left the intimate music scene of Brandon, jumping into Winnipeg's vibrant music scene, where she hooked up with super cool old time roots/bluegrass band The Magnificent 7's, adding her voice and playing mandolin for two years.

Les Jupes

Four kids from the middle of the North American continent making modern music for people living in the past. Debut album Modern Myths recorded with Arcade Fire/Stars/Little Scream producer Marcus Paquin. "...as epic as it is primal and as stirring as it is sad and introverted".
"...set to become one of Canada's most intriguing and complex acts."
"The swelling guitar riffs, hard drums and deep, menacing voice of Michael P Falk ensure an emotional, expressive album. An almost perfect record. One of the best debut records we’ve heard.”

Royal Canoe

Royal Canoe is a group of musicians on a mission to construct ambitious, inventive music. The songs are thick with catchiness, rich in rhythm and are consistently pushing against the boundaries of pop music. They spend almost every day in a shit-hole rehearsal space writing hooks, singing through effects pedals, scrawling lyrics on scraps of paper, and constructing heavy beats in odd time signatures. They create samples by running conventional sounds through unconventional pieces of gear, drumming on bathtubs and garbage cans, listening to Big Boi and manipulating bits of old records.

Dynamo

There are 6 bands called Dynamo. Dynamo is also the name of a collaboration between Dynamic and Eskimo. Both are psytrance artists.
A review of their one collaboration, The Acid Daze, can be found here, an interview with Jon Ford (Eskimo) mentioning the project here, and their discogs page here. There is also a German artist called Dynamo who released Außen Vor in 2002, which was mastered by Robert Henke (Monolake). He makes abstract minimal techno/electro. His discogs page is here. This artist is also known as T++, Traktor, and Various Artists amongst other aliases.

Nathan Rogers

A dynamic folk baritone, Nathan Rogers was born in 1980. His songs range from the semi-traditional (Three Fishers) to the quirky (The Ballad of William and John Gibson) to the passionate (Mary's Song). As of this date (2008), he has released one album (True Stories) containing primarily his own compositions. Perhaps not incidentally, his family is among one of the most famous folk music families in Canada: his father was the late Stan Rogers) and his uncle is Garnet Rogers.
