Bio
Truth and Dolphin
“Like Thom Yorke jamming with Leonard Cohen and Destroyer.”
– Reso Nation

Truth and Dolphin perform a style of slam poetry set to melodic folk rock. Originating in Victoria BC, their first album “Chronicles of Living Memory, Part 1” received radio play across Canadian university radio and public radio, making the top 10 for three months in Kamloops’ CFBX-FM. The band is tea merchant Jared Nyberg on vocals, visual arts painter and guitarist Steve Chmilar (former lead singer of 2000’s The Villain’s) on guitar, loop and back up vocals, and multi-instrumentalist and fellow songwriter Cory Christiansen on vocals, guitar and banjo. They are sometimes joined by Sister Speak’s Sherri Anne lending her vocals and guitar for select shows.

Aidan Thorne
Aidan is a multidisciplinary artist living in Victoria, BC. He has been making art all his life and writing music since 2003. Songwriter, guitarist, drummer, carver
(Worked with Nico Williams as a weaver for a year and learns Coast Salish carving with Xwalakctun since March 2022)
Aidan is Cowichan & Dene with Scottish and Welsh blood from his grandma Betty Thorne.
His musical endeavors have found him as part of ZuZu’s Petals and the Flowering Eyeballs, but this is his solo project.
“The delivery is authentic, and his ability to entrance with an acoustic and vocal with his emotion, melody, and frenetic command of his instrument is worth the price of admission.”

Bio
Dante DeCaro

The Nexus Newspaper writes:
   Jazz legend John Coltrane once said that “the emotional reaction is all that matters.” That sentiment is reflected on Kill your Boyfriend, the debut solo EP from Wolf Parade’s Dante DeCaro (who also played in Hot Hot Heat).
In 24 minutes, across five beautifully written and recorded tracks, DeCaro manages to reach real emotional depths that reflect his years of experience with some of Canada’s hottest bands.
   DeCaro knows his emotions and, with warm sonic textures and the confidence of years, hits it out of the park. But the audience, like the characters inhabiting his well-crafted lyrical worlds, is left yearning for more. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long.”
