PINER w/ Emma Worley and Ladybug

Piner: a singer-songwriter from Katarokwi (Kingston, ON) whose blend of confessional songwriting, gritty guitar, and tender melodies invites both reflection and resistance. Piner’s album "A Netherworld", recorded at Joel Plaskett’s studio, is rooted in hope amid challenging times. A Winnipeg Folk Festival Young Performers alumni, Piner has shared bills with Basia Bulat, Mo Kenney, The Crash Test Dummies and more. Her most recent single, “Odelia,” is a powerful pop/rock track rooted in storytelling that confronts gender inequality, inherited expectations, and the radical act of self-trust. / InstagramEmma Worley: on her sophomore album, Forever Beginner, Emma Worley tucks grief, joy, humour, and pain into the same fold. Emerging during a transformative period in her life, the record is an open-hearted, self-reckoning body of work blending alternative folk and Americana.The album was crafted over two years with producer, multi-instrumentalist, and longtime collaborator Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station, Joan Shelley). The arrangements are a textural delight, featuring outstanding players with Worley’s tender voice and poignant songwriting at the centre. / InstagramLadybug: a folk-alternative musician based out of Toronto, Canada. / Instagram
