Serving soulful roots-rock with a gritty edge, Elyse Aeryn makes music for the wild hearts—those who crave connection, catharsis, and a little rebellion. Elyse was crowned Music Nova Scotia’s Entertainer of the Year in 2024 and her debut album Joy State of Mind earned an East Coast Music Association nomination for Rock Recording of the Year and won Country Recording of the Year at the Music Nova Scotia Awards. Elyse’s sophomore album “Everybody Loves You…" released February 26, 2026 captures the soulful vocals, roots-rock edge, and pop sensibility that make Elyse Aeryn stand out. Nominated for three 2026 East Coast Music Awards, Elyse has become one of Atlantic Canada’s most promising breakout acts.

“A TASTE OF SMALL-TOWN LIVING IN EVERY SONG.”

Aaron MacDonald writes songs you can feel under your skin, stories pulled from long roads, hard lessons, and the bright chaos of family life. A Cape Breton singer-songwriter, his sound blends dusty rock, folk grit, and country soul into something unmistakably East Coast. A veteran of the stage, Aaron has earned multiple Music Nova Scotia and ECMA nominations, with chart-topping singles like “What’s the Point” and “Beaches & Bands.” His shows are raw, melodic, and honest… rooted in real life, real places, and the kind of truth you can’t fake.
