Since releasing his debut album Ballads in 2010, Matthew Byrne has established himself as one of Canada’s foremost traditional singers. His rich and powerful vocals, refined guitar style, and compelling interpretations of unique traditional songs have made him a favourite of folk audiences at home in Newfoundland and abroad. After a long hiatus from the studio and the road, Byrne released his 4th studio album, Stealing Time. This project brought Byrne to Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield, UK, where he teamed up with folk legend Martin Simpson as producer. The album features instrumentation from some of the finest musicians on the English folk scene, including Nancy Kerr, Andy Cutting, and Liz Hanks. Stealing Time won two 2026 Canadian Folk Music Awards - Traditional Album of the Year and Traditional Singer of the Year.

Ever Sweet are Jordan Harnum & Joelle Sunshine, writing and performing songs rooted in the fishery, the coast, and the lives they’ve actually lived. This isn’t a tribute to tradition; it’s part of it. Their live performances are built on original songs and lived experience, drawing audiences into the culture, history, and spirit of Newfoundland & Labrador in a way that feels immediate, honest, and deeply human.
