TERRI CLANCY is a multi-disciplined singer-songwriter and visual artist. Originally from Toronto, he is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design. Terri relocated to Hastings county and now finds himself living at the end of a dirt road somewhere north of Madoc. Terri’s latest project “Songs About Paintings Of Stories” brings the visual arts in the form of paintings alongside the music to tell a story of journey and discovery through song. His artwork, singing, and writing come together in an inseparable combination in his song compositions. Terri says he tries to live a creative life. Looking at things from different perspectives, being open, and empathetic to all the wonder that surrounds us. Some of his influences include Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel, Nick Cave, The Bad Seeds and David Bowie, as well as contemporary artists like Lorde, Aurora and Billie Eillish.

MASON FORSEY-MACKINNON is a 21 year old singer-songwriter from Belleville Ontario. Through performing live over 5 years he has developed his own style that blends rock with folk, blues and jazz. At his shows the audience can expect catchy hooks, layered metaphors as well as intricate and experimental guitar work. In 2024 he graduated from the Music and Digital Media program at St Lawrence College Kingston.

STEPHEN BRUCE MEDD (Host) is a performing songwriter of historical ballads and spiritual songs. These songs are inspired by Canadian history; the remote and beautiful landscapes he explored as a geologist; and environmental and social issues of the day. Stephen’s most recent project entitled, "If Lilacs Could Sing" is a book of ballads and accompanying recordings about fascinating historical moments and people of Upper Canada and Colonial America. In 1999-2000 Stephen recorded 3 Spiritual-Folk songs that he wrote for Avril Lavigne that were her first studio recordings before being discovered by the music industry.
