**This is a FREE, family friendly event** Performer Information Bella Rosa Canadian singer-songwriter Bella Rosa grew up in a home filled with music. From a young age, her dad (also a musician of 25 years) encouraged her vocal performances. Her musical style transitioned from pop to rock before she arrived at alt-pop—a genre that feels like a safe space for her. “I can write how I feel. Alt can be anything; it doesn’t have to be either happy or sad,” she says. Today, Bella’s lyrics are informed by her dreams, journal entries and the everyday challenges she confronts living in uncertain times. Bella has won multiple awards for her music videos: ‘Dead Lies’ won Best Music Video at the 2021 Toronto International Women Film Festival and ‘Just A Game’ took home Bronze at the 42nd Annual Telly Awards 2021. Both videos were also officially selected for the 2021 Montreal Independent Film Festival. Saveria Saveria is a 27-year-old London, ON-based artist. ​ An accomplished guitar player, vocal powerhouse, gifted songwriter, and producer, she has over a decade of professional experience in the industry. ​ While most children were learning nursery rhymes, Saveria was being schooled by the greats from the soul, Motown, and rock eras. ​ Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, The Strokes, Lenny Kravitz, John Mayer, Joss Stone, and Wings were staples in her family collection of CDs and vinyl, laying a strong foundation for her groove, melodic, and pop sensibilities. ​ Tyrone Traher & the Rottweilers Tyrone Traher II is a singer-songwriter that is proudly based in London, ON. Throughout the creation of his debut album, Traher created a backing band of brooding poets known as Tyrone Traher & the Rottweilers to showcase the true identity of his own original music. As an artist second and a human first, Traher values humility, vulnerability, honesty, and compassion, and uses these principles as the foundation of his artistry and career. Pot is Drugs Pot Is Drugs, a genre-fluid indie rock band from London, Ontario, was formed in 2021 by four friends. "We probably should have started a podcast but picked up instruments instead." They blend sharp hooks, emotional chaos, and just the right amount of self-awareness into a sound that’s loud, honest, and built for screaming in your car at red lights. Whether you’re in the mood to laugh, shout, or just feel something, we’ve probably got a song for that. Tracks like “How To Talk To Girls,” “Darling (Satellites),” and “What’s It Like,” are packed with infectious riffs, shoutable choruses, and lyrics that walk the line between funny and painfully relatable. They pull influence from indie icons and garage greats like The Strokes, The Black Keys, Jack White, and Mac DeMarco. The result is something we call Southern Ontario awkrock. renforshort

Born Lauren Isenberg, the Toronto-born singer/songwriter grew up in a musical family with three brothers who also played instruments and parents who’d play Amy Winehouse and Stevie Wonder concert videos in the background while preparing dinner. By high school, Lauren began composing what would become her first singles on piano and performed at open mic nights in Toronto. Releasing her lush, R&B/pop debut single "waves" in 2019, Lauren soon followed up with the teasing and upbeat "mind games," two EPs (teenage angst (2020) and off saint dominique (2021)), and a bracingly honest debut album, dear amelia (2022). renforshort has garnered over 200 million streams worldwide. She has collaborated with Travis Barker, Jake Bugg, Mike Shinoda, toured Europe with Lauv in 2023, and signed to Nettwerk Music Group, where she will continue to release music with her new single "serpentine" out now.
