Erin Adair
Erin Adair is a diverse composer, vocalist, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based out of Ottawa, Ontario. Erin sings frankly and humorously about her experiences with alcoholism, mental health issues and sexual assault, in an effort to remove the stigmas that are associated with these issues.

The Gallop
Ottawa’s The Gallop resounds with a triumphant, toe-tapping togetherness. What started off as a recording project between two friends has steadily evolved and transformed over the past five years, ultimately taking the shape of a five-piece indie rock band. Through performances described as memorable and captivating, The Gallop offers audiences a combination of honest lyrics, ringing harmonies and banging rhythms. They draw from personal experiences and the not-so-personal generational unease to create catchy and relatable songs for us all to sing along to.
