Madeline Tasquin

Singing in both English and French, Canadian-Californian songcrafter and multi-instrumentalist Madeline Tasquin weaves nimbly from jazz-tinged folk to odd-meter soul, from twisted pop ballad to delicately dark fairy-tale. Raised in Quesnel, British Columbia by her opera singer mother and Austrian gold-miner father, Tasquin began playing the piano as soon as she could reach the keys and developed her acute sense of harmony by singing on long car trips as a child with her mother and two younger sisters. In her teenagehood, Primus and Mr.Bungle played on repeat alongside Rachmaninoff, Satie and Chopin

Gabriel Peso Trio

Born: December 1, 1987

Nicholas Bridgman

I make groove‑oriented, jazz‑rooted house music—dance energy with a bit of sophistication. My pieces evolved from years of classical and jazz training. I use that as a foundation, while keeping things simple. Pieces that make you feel energized, empowered, or gently challenged—and that fit with today's trend towards ease over dissonance. Hopefully the music will feel like it speaks to you where you're at.
