The Goddamsels
The Goddamsels are an alt-country band from Alberta led by vocalists Mallory Chipman and Freddi MacDougall. Inspired by their prairie origins and grassroots attitudes, The Goddamsels are crafting music by the people, for the people. Their debut EP, Wayward Daughter, explores classic country themes of hardship, heartache, and the power of togetherness, all delivered with a modern edge. It will be released in early 2022. The Goddamsels are currently living and creating on Treaty Six Territory & Unceded Kanien’kehà:ka Territory where Indigenous people and communities have been making music for millenia. The Goddamsels are a proud Royalty Records Inc. artist.

Sadie’s Ghost
Sadie’s Ghost is Amber-Lynn Yourk (mandolin/guitar), Hannah Goa (fiddle/guitar), and Toby Tellier (bass/clawhammer banjo). An acoustic string band from Alberta, Sadie’s Ghost bridges bluegrass, Appalachian old-time, and folk music traditions. Accomplished instrumentalists in their own right, together they bring each other to new levels. Their music tends to the soul, transporting audiences out of the day-to-day with rousing, rough-hewn hootenanny and delicately spun, haunting harmonies.
