Here come The Wet Secrets, a furry-hatted frantic pop six-piece from Edmonton, known for their bass and horn heavy dance rock and their unmistakable, impeccable tailoring. The Wet Secrets turn dysfunction into inspiration with swampy basslines, primal drumming, towering, dancing horn section, keys, saxophone and congas. It looks like Pop Art, it sounds like party rock.

Quiet and imposing, Ryan Boldt casts a long shadow no matter the hour. As the principal songwriter and vocalist of The Deep Dark Woods, a band that has received international praise for their swirling and moody folk rock, Boldt has created a world of ramblers and downabouts, hopeless romantics and tragic heroes. There’s a gothic, old world sensibility to Boldt’s craft that feels like a fog rolling across the Moorland, heavy and poetic.

Whitehorse will bring The Sweet Disaster Tour to the Danforth Music Hall on December 2 for a special bonus hometown Toronto performance. The band has sold out Massey Hall twice since they burst onto the scene a few short years ago, and so this upcoming gig presents the chance to cap off an incredibly busy year, from the release of Leave No Bridge Unburned to non-stop touring across Canada and the USA.

Angeleno, released in June by Six Shooter Records, is an accomplished, exciting debut by one of the new faces of old country. Outlaw’s name (a story in itself) consistently appears on Best New Country lists and Next Big Thing showcases, including AmericanaFestNYC at the Lincoln Centre and LA Bluegrass Situation at The Greek Theatre.

Hawksley Workman’s Winter Bird Tour kicks off in St. John’s today and wraps nearly two months from now in Whitby, with stops in cities big and small across Canada.

Six Shooter Records is amped to present “Hollywood Honky-Tonker” Sam Outlaw and “Space Cowboy Lovebirds” Whitehorse at AmericanaFest 2015. Sam Outlaw is making his name as a throwback country songwriter with talent and wit to burn. Whitehorse has exploded the concept of a roots duo with their intense and intricate chemistry and live show. Six Shooter Records has released new albums by both in 2015.

This fall, Whitehorse sets out on The Sweet Disaster Tour, a music marathon that starts where it all began, in Hamilton, ON. Fittingly, Six Shooter has released a new backyard version of “Sweet Disaster” that showcases the beautiful basics, the “Gram and Emmylou” magic at the heart of Whitehorse. See Luke and Melissa strip away the bells and whistles.

Old Cheetah, Hawksley Workman’s 15th album, put its prints in the wet cement in June. The album is another notch in the long career of a creatively restless mind; it marks the time and mood of its maker as much as of its making.
