Royal Wood
Singer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist Royal Wood returns with his new album Dear John, available now. Described as “a letter to himself,” the record reunites him with five time Grammy winner Ryan Freeland and features musicians Ash Soan and Hutch Hutchinson.
With more than 30 million streams and song placements on Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, Royal’s music continues to reach audiences worldwide. A former iTunes Songwriter of the Year, he has earned JUNO and Canadian Folk Music Award nominations and two Top 30 albums.
Dear John marks a new chapter for one of Canada’s most enduring and innovative voices.
Fortunate Ones
Fortunate Ones is a contemporary folk duo from Newfoundland. Celebrated for their harmony-entwined songs of hope, resilience, and the human condition and their joyfully disarming live shows, they have toured relentlessly, bringing their open-hearted performances to thousands of people across North America and beyond.
Catherine and Andrew have been busy since the release of their debut album The Bliss in 2015 - thousands of miles, hundreds of shows, award winning albums and scores of fans have all been hallmarks of the success the duo has experienced since their humble beginnings in St. John’s. The Bliss was nominated for a Juno Award and landed two #1 singles on CBC Radio 2’s Top 20.
