Thursday, December 17th ~ Michael Stanley Edward
Michael Stanley Edward is a father, a rural Canadian homesteader, and a longtime music maker who cares deeply about bringing people together. For him, music isn’t just a passion – it’s a way to help neighbors meet, share stories, and feel a little more connected in a world that often feels pulled apart.
After 22 years on stages big and small, Michael has learned that a good song and an honest performance can create the kind of community space he believes we need more of. That belief guides everything he does, from writing new music to building welcoming live shows wherever he goes.
In 2025 he wrapped up a winter tour supporting his latest release, including a three-show run opening for Edmonton’s own Eric Kane. His most recent single, “In the Bones,” came out on November 25, 2025.

Thursday, February 25th ~ Tunupa
We are Cosmic Gardeners (Tunupa) Our duo is Eva Tree, a child of the wild, a Mesa (medicine bundle) and song carrier, who believes in Earth stewardship and calls forth musical inspiration from her connection with PachaMama and Elemental Allie’s. Eva weaves her original songs as heart-filled prayers to bless and invite us to remember our full flowering sacred nature. Bill D weaves each song as a melodic altar, with delicate warm toned guitar melodies imbued with light and service. He draws inspiration from decades of exploring music, math and the mystic and his many musical influences from classical, jazz, rock and ceremonial music. With songs of love, transformation and healing, Eva and Bill weave Elemental energies to anchor the light and share songs as seeds of hope and renewal for all. More about Tunupa
