Lindsay Ferguson, a Canadian now living in Switzerland, lived in St. John’s for a few years, many moons ago! She bought her first guitar while traipsing up and down those hilly and colourful streets and has been traveling with her music for over fifteen years, across Canada and Europe. Self taught on guitar, she uses it as rhythmic accompaniment to the profound melodies she hears while in song-writing mode. Lindsay has been singing and honing her voice from a very young age, so her musical style is a varied mix of folk, roots and pop. Gaining strength and wisdom from her audiences across the world has led Lindsay to have quite a diverse and soulful sound. She writes about love and joy, loss and sorrow with a touch of “tongue in cheek.” Lindsay has been compared to many great artists over the years, including Joni Mitchell, Cheryl Crow, Brandi Carlisle, Adele, Tracy Chapman and more. The best part of being a musician is in the song-writing which brings a significant connection between the audience and herself. Lindsay may have the crowd laughing and crying in the same five minutes. Her musicianship is a force to be reckoned with, her songwriting is an elegant mix of passion and sincerity and her dynamic voice will touch the depths of your soul sending shivers down your spine. Lindsay will be joined on stage by local musical legends, Don Ellis, Phil Winters and Xander Pierson. This will be a set not to be missed.

Kyle Gryphon is a folk singer/songwriter living on the Southern Shore, NL.

Lyrical subject matter is focused mostly on the darker side of folklore and general society – turmoil, humor, despair, and oddities past and present. Kyle plays live accompanied by Kady Meaney on guitar.
