Cowboy Junkies

The Cowboy Junkies heady blend of folk, country, and blues with a dreamy pop quality lies at the intersection between the old school Americana legends and the new school of poetic, hazy rock championed by the likes of The Velvet Underground.

Jackopierce at The Ark

Jackopierce

One of the hardest touring bands of the '90s, Jackopierce slipped under the mainstream's radar to earn a widespread following on college campuses with their pleasant acoustic folk-pop. This year they're bringing their harmonies and acoustic guitars and hitting the North American road for more live shows.

One for fans of Bon Iver, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, and Frou Frou, you don't want to miss out!
