Pond, (“pänd”): a small body of still water formed naturally or by artificial means. This pond is still, intermittent and changeable A fascination with its transformation has brought Jane Croteau back with several cameras over a dozen years. Images from all seasons form this collection. Not a typical Muskoka waterway but rather closer to the norm: small, almost hidden in woodland, passed by many but know by few. She is hiding in the open, unnavigable, dressed in changing light, sometimes a jewel, other times a dowd.

Commonwealth – their first all-new release in three years – sees the Toronto-based quartet disassociating ever so slightly to create one of the more unique and ambitious recordings of their two-decade-plus career, an old-school double album with each member staking out a single side as their own artistic dominion.

Born and raised on the Canadian prairies, Joey Landreth has grown up with a guitar in his hands. Working as a side man through his teens and early twenties Joey grew up on the road, playing music across genres from gospel to country. At twenty-five Joey joined forces with his older brother as they worked on their first independent project The Bros. Landreth. The band was immediately successful, winning a Juno with their first album, among other awards across multiple genres. The band rose quickly to success turning the heads of musical heavy-weights such as Bonnie Raitt, John Oates and Jimmie Vaughan. In 2016 Joey is launching his solo career. With the rare ability to be at once vulnerable and open yet seriously blow audiences away with his musical proficiency, Joey’s career as an independent artist is expected to rise to great heights quickly.

Support Act for Joey Landreth will be Johnson Crook. From the moment Toronto roots rock band Johnson Crook played together, they knew they not only had harmony in their voices, but a deep personal connection that made the idea of forming a group a foregone conclusion.
