About Willie Thrasher & Linda Saddleback:
A folk troubadour with a proudly Inuvialuit heart, Willie Thrasher’s road-worn country rock is a vital piece of Indigenous Canadiana, properly venerated after several of his tracks were featured on the 2014 Grammy-nominated compilation Native North America (Vol. 1), Joined by his partner Linda Saddleback, he returns to Sled Island for the first time in nearly a decade.
About Amy Nelson:
Like a conduit of voices from the past, Amy Nelson reverentially channels the sounds of depression-era blues and Appalachian mountain music while adding a distinct prairies twist. Don’t believe us? Check out the music video for “Educated Woman,” and get immersed in her slide-guitar sounds and unforgettable voice. Her return to Sled Island is a guaranteed hootenanny.
About Spirit Hotel:
Led by the enchanting Nataanii Cornelius, Spirit Hotel blends country, punk, shoegaze, and any other sound that underscores her thoughts. She sings about love and loss in a way that ensures every cowpoke and cowpunk is gonna feel it. Like Orville Peck discovering a fuzz pedal, their shows are a mystical hootenanny with invites for all.
About Jolene Marie:
Melancholic yet hopeful, Calgary singer-songwriter Jolene Marie’s lyrics layer bold vulnerability over a gentle and cyclical acoustic guitar. Her self-recorded debut EP Honey was released in September of 2023, showcasing a style that has been regularly compared to artists like Cat Power, Sibylle Baier and Mazzy Star.
