5:00 – 6:00 pm | Community Showcase
6:15 – 7:00 pm | John Michael Lind
7:15 – 8:00 pm | RAIAAN

Vancouver, Canada-based alt-country singer-songwriter John Michael Lind delivers heart-to-heart connection with soaring vocals, driving rhythm guitar, and well-crafted tunes. Often compared to Blue Rodeo, JML ignites venues across Canada and Europe, entertaining crowds for over 10 years. From a wellspring of inspiration fed by John Prine, Van Morrison, Townes Van Zandt and Steve Earle (and more!), JML crafts touching songs that reverberate in hearts long after the show. Covers of gems like Gordon Lightfoot’s “Canadian Railroad Trilogy,” Bob Dylan’s “Lily, Rosemary & the Jack of Hearts” and more make a great night of music!
RAIAAN is an R&B and pop singer/songwriter originally from Kenya, currently residing in Vancouver, Canada. Influenced by crooners such as; Etta James and Louis Armstrong, and storytellers like Eloise, Maya Delilah, and Bruno Major, RAIAAN amalgamates his smooth vocals with emotional and catchy melodies for a modern sound that pays homage to his predecessors. After working alongside a bunch of amazing artists, producers, engineers, and creators, RAIAAN has just released his debut album in September of 2023, while still producing and engineering for other upcoming artists on the side. RAIAAN is now looking forward to performing his album through various gigs around the city, while also working alongside some incredible Vancouver based artists to write and release more music in the near future.
