ARIANE MARYKE LEMIRE
Sexy and sweet. Pop and jazz. French and English. No wonder her CD is called Double Entendre. It's like getting two shows for the price of one.

ASANI
A cool blend of jazz, pop, and aboriginal vocal work makes this a capella trio a very in-demand group on the folk music circuit. We wonder if they can do the Star Trek theme. Now that would be killer.

THE BORCH BROTHERS
How do kids this young know so much about Old Time music? At their age, “fiddle” is usually something you do with your brussel sprouts when you don’t want to eat them.

JESSE DEE & JACQUIE B
The flat landscape of the prairies cannot keep this urban folk duo from reaching heights beyond the closest grain elevator. Dee’s Marc Ribot-esque guitar flair certainly helps.

GHOSTKEEPER
This guy should meet Ry Cooder. They would probably have very interesting conversation. It might go something like: “Hey Ry.” “Hey Shane. How's it going?” “Not bad, you?” And then all ethnomusicological hell would break loose.

DEVIN HART TRIO
Just to make us feel as cool as we think we are, the Devin Hart Trio brings a little beatnik to close Nextfest. Berets, shades, and turtle-necks not required, but always welcome.

HOT PANDA
How are you going to keep these kids down on the “chuck” now that they have seen UK? Now finishing up their European tour with the Von Bondies, Hot Panda is a non-stop touring machine. Catch them at a hometown gig while you can.

SONGWRITER’S CIRCLE:
U22 SHOWCASE
The CBC Songwriter's Circle this year features a troupe of young folks from the U22 camp. If they’re this good now, just wait until Joe Nolan, Paul Cresey, Robert Mulder, and the gals from Painting With Ella are old enough to rent a car. There’ll be no stopping them.
