Irene Poole is a Banff-born, Calgary-based singer-songwriter. She has captivated audiences around the Bow Valley and beyond with her heartfelt lyrics and angelic melodies. Her indie-folk songs take inspiration from the natural world around her, and from songwriting greats like Joni Mitchell and Brandi Carlile. Irene has performed at the Canmore Folk Festival, ArtsPlace Canmore, and recently participated in the YYC Songwriter Showdown at Café Gravity. Her debut album, The Mountains and The Sea, recorded with JUNO-award-winning producer John D.S. Adams, was released in November 2024. Through acting, singing, and playing her ukuleles, Irene aims to be a storyteller in everything she does. Like a maple leaf in a gust above the prairies, Taylor Abrahamse blissfully glides beyond the borders of song, gender & genre with his/her deftly crafted, hook-laden hammerclaw pop. A Paul Simon/Prince crossbreed and a Kerrville Newfolk Winner - (s)he’ll leave you laughing, inspired, and singing along… if you can reach that high. Out of love for Taylor's writing, Eddie Kramer (Hendrix, The Beatles, etc), insisted on co-producing/mixing his acclaimed debut album. Fresh from a US tour with #1-selling Itunes artist Flamy Grant, Taylor will be releasing new OAC-funded music throughout 2025.
