Ruby Waters with Tia Wood & Slim Krusty

Ruby Waters
Her sound is similar to her journey – eclectic, always evolving, and unfeigned. Hailing from the small town of Shelburne, Ontario and born to two artists, Ruby was immersed in a musician’s world at a young age. Now, an artist herself, she plugs in and belts out, unapologetically leaving you in awe. Ruby recently released her highly anticipated sophomore EP, “If It Comes Down To It” and received worldwide acclaim, leading to a Juno Nomination for Alternative Album of the Year. Her single “Quantum Physics”, garnered significant attention, amassing over 9 million streams to date. Simultaneously, Ruby built familiarity across Canada as her singles “Supernatural” and “Blow” both peaked in the Top 5 on the Canadian Alternative and Rock Radio charts.

Tia Wood
You’ll remember Tia Wood from the 2024 Winnipeg Folk Festival! This summer Tia released her first single, “Dirt Roads”, which showcases her soulful voice and traditions from her Plains Cree and Coast Salish heritage. She blends timeless sounds with modern realities, creating a fresh vision for Indigenous youth and romantics. Wood is a rising star from Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta and gained popularity through her “Indigenizing” trends, comedy and singing on TikTok.

Slim Krusty
Slim Krusty’s much-anticipated debut full-length album, Endin on a High is out now! This record captures the raw intensity of his music complete with grunge vocals, paired with melancholy songs about heartbreak, loss, and cigarettes. Gritty, raw, and flinchingly honest, Slim Krusty is an artist you need to hear.
