**This is a FREE, family friendly event** Performer Information Lindsey and The Lonelies Lindsey & The Lonelies formed eleven years ago in London, Ontario, rooted in a shared love of alternative country, cinematic spaghetti‑western textures, Americana, and what we call “cactus country.” Over the years, we’ve built a unique identity rooted in strong storytelling, atmosphere, and aesthetic.

Our performance history spans festivals, community events, and established venues across London, Toronto, Hamilton, and beyond. Highlights include NXNE, Home County Folk Fest, Gussapolooza, London Indie Week, Pride Toronto, and multiple shows with artists such as Elliott BROOD, Jerry Leger, Boy Golden, and Spencer Burton. Our journey has included intentional pauses (first to record our debut album at Sugar Shack, then for new parenthood and the pandemic), but each return to the stage has strengthened our focus and professionalism. Omri Kash Omri Kash, is a solo artist-producer with a close-knit band for live and session work. Omri has been writing and recording music since 2018 and has been performing live since 2021.

Omri Kash's artistic vision has always been to make memorable, catchy and marketable music that has true nuance and sophistication. Stevie Wonder was and still is one of his biggest idols for that very reason. ​ Aidan Hough All 4 members of the Aidan Hough band met and began playing with each other through Fanshawe’s Music Industry Arts program. Through a combination of practice, writing, schooling, and self-discovery, Aidan and his band have created a strong performance of folk-pop music with some of the strongest young musicians in London Ontario. 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. Tyler Shaw
