JAKE NICOLL
Indie folk songwriter and producer Jake Nicoll is a staple of the St John’s NL scene. In March 2022 he released the stripped down, sun-bleached folk album "Pool House" made on a small suitcase tape recorder in Pasadena, California. Recent months have seen him travelling the country in his "Phonoautoma"t instant recording booth built into his home made solar-powered recording camper and touring as drummer for the Burning Hell.
PAPER BEAT SCISSORS
Under the moniker Paper Beat Scissors Tim Crabtree stitches delicate and intricate tapestries of songs threaded through by an unmistakable haunting voice. Over 3 albums the Montréal-based Brit (who found his feet in Halifax) has featured on the cover CD of Rolling Stone and been labelled "startling and beautiful" by the BBC’s "Whispering" Bob Harris. 2019’s chamber folk album “Parallel Line” was followed by the pandemic exploration la Mitad in 2021, which saw Crabtree perform Spanish translations of his songs.
The complexity of Paper Beat Scissors' music both belies and serves its simple aim: to create a point of emotional connection and communication with the listener; To hold a space to disappear, briefly, inside the spells it casts.
