Julie Doiron, Adrian Teacher & The Subs, Construction & Destruction and Protruders
Julie Doiron
Queen of Sackville – and possibly indie rock in general – Julie Doiron is a national treasure. Starting off in Sub Pop’s grungy outfit Eric’s Trip before moving out in a more folksy direction and developing into something truly unique, Doiron’s songs are stark and personal, and her performances are intimate and captivating.
Adrian Teacher and the Subs
Adrian Teacher is a Vancouver based songwriter and performer best known for his work with Apollo Ghosts, COOL TV and as a back-up musician for several independent bands. He has been self-releasing music for over ten years. His album Mount Benson was nominated for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize and he was the Sappyfest songwriter in residence in 2011.

Construction & Destruction
Colleen Collins and David Trenaman met in London, Ontario in about 1994. And Construction & Destruction started in about 2005, or so. C&D currently work out of Port Greville, Nova Scotia, where they've lived since 2003 in an old house by the sea. They record, themselves and others , in The Quarantine: their living-room studio.

Protruders
Toronto-via-Sackville’s Kappa Chow are no strangers to the Canadian garage rock landscape. Rebranding as Protruders, they deliver good old garage punk with catchy hooks, lots of dissonance, and a bad ass attitude. This band is beyond rad and not to be missed. We dare you to resist the urge to jump around when they hit the stage.
