Chris Ronald has earned a place as one of Canada’s finest singer-songwriters creating and performing Contemporary Folk music. Ronald’s stand-out signature sound is steeped in his British background, poetic lyrics, and a buttery fusion of Roots and Americana music.
Ronald first got hooked on song writing at age 15 when he put to music a poem he wrote in high school, but he only started to go public after he moved to Vancouver in his thirties and self-produced his first albums so he had CDs to sell at the intimate gigs he was playing in and around the city. One of these early works caught the attention of The Georgia Straight who praised Ronald’s song writing and “beautifully clear tenor voice” and wondered “where his obvious talent has been hiding for so long.” Encouraged, Ronald decided to go all in on his next project and hired ace producer and multi-instrumentalist John MacArthur Ellis to work on his first full-production studio album. The resulting Timeline (2014) album catapulted Ronald to a new level in his career with, among other accolades, a nomination for “Songwriter of the Year” at the 2014 Canadian Folk Music Awards. Shortly afterward, Ronald was signed to esteemed Canadian folk label Borealis Records to release Fragments (2017) followed by Light & Dark (2021). Both albums achieved top 10 on the FAI Folk Radio chart.

| Paul Hoad |
Paul Hoad is a singer songwriter who creates music drawn from influences such as Nick Drake, the 70’s, interpersonal psychology and folk music. Raised in the south of England, his formative years were influenced by the UK folk artists who frequented his parents’ folk club. It was here that he developed a deep appreciation for acoustic music, that still informs his sound today. He went on to hone his craft as a founder member of UK folk band Suntrap. With his warm, engaging stage presence and soulful high tenor voice, it’s easy to be drawn into the intimate world of his songs.
