She is also the recipient of six Canadian Folk Music Awards. In 2016, Americana artist Clair Lynch recorded Lynn’s song Black Flowers on her Grammy nominated album North By South. Lynn Miles’s latest album, called TumbleweedyWorld, has just been released on True North Records and is nominated for the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Album of the Year. Lynn will be accompanied at the Nick by exceptional guitarist, Keith Glass.

Kevin John Cook
From greasy blues to country soul, Kevin John Cook delivers the real thing. He’s an accomplished guitarist with a signature dusty voice, but the real gold is in his lyrics. Cook’s tales of dark beauty tempered with an offbeat sense of humour will captivate you. He cut his musical teeth in Alberta’s rough and tumble honky-tonks and blues bars playing for cowboys, lumberjacks and bikers. In Cook’s words: “It grows a thick hide on you.”

Big Little Lions, consisting of Paul Otten and Helen Austin, was born out of a collaboration that won the duo a Juno Award in 2014. Since then they have been cranking out infectious folk pop songs that are jam-packed with emotion and tight harmonies that sound like the product of two people working side-by-side instead of living in different countries. In their live shows, Paul plays the drums, bass and keyboard, all while singing lead vocals. Helen, sings, plays guitar and foot percussion. They use every limb, and then some, to make two people sound like a full band. The Big Little Lions have released six albums to date, which have garnered them awards and nominations including the Canadian Folk Music Award Ensemble of the Year. Their critically-acclaimed music has appeared on the CBC’s Top 20 and featured on shows including q and Vinyl Cafe. Big Little Lions have been nominated for two 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards, Vocal Group of the Year and Single of the Year.
