With an evocative voice that captivates her audience, “soulful Ontario songstress” (Billboard), Paige Warner, creates alt-pop music with soul-inspired vocal licks layered on catchy hooks of poetic lyrics. Though her career started as a busker in her small hometown market, her resilience has led her to perform on stages such as Massey Hall’s TD Music Hall, Yonge-Dundas Square, NXNE, Owen Sound’s Summerfolk, and share stages with iconic artists including Ron Sexsmith, Monowhales, and Lori Yates. She has consistently grown through each music release, including fan-favourite singles “Damaged Goods” and “Stockholm Syndrome”. With over a hundred thousand streams and views, Paige’s music has drawn love from media and listeners alike. Paige Warner’s voice is often what draws people in. “Paige is very much a modern pop singer-songwriter…but there’s something unmistakably timeless about her sound.” (Rrampt). While her music is catchy and emotive, her lyrics often touch poetically on themes of heartbreak, female resilience, and love. With her brand new album, Bitter/Sweet, Paige Warner plans to continue creating intimate concert experiences, sharing vulnerability through folk-like storytelling, and having fun with catchy pop hooks, all while leaving audiences with a memorable connection and a melody.

Sunday, July 27 ~ 7 p.m. ~ The O'Deadlys
It was the summer of 2007. In the middle of The Netherlands. Arnhem to be precise. That’s where our two protagonists met. That fateful meeting turned into a love story across two continents and eventually lead to the formation of The O’Deadlys, considered by many to be Ontario’s top Celtic band. Led by Ayron Mortley (vocals & guitar) and Lindsey O’Connell (vocals, accordion, harmonica & tin whistles), the band stretches as far as a 6-piece with fiddle, sax & flute, bass, and drums. In addition to The O’Deadlys, Lindsey, and Ayron are often hired as side musicians to record or perform with other musicians including; Kevin Quain & the Mad Bastards, Wild Strawberries, The Mahones, Ben Sures, Taxi Chain/Urban Highlanders, The Buccaneers, Airs & Graces and Walter Moffat. They have been lucky enough to share the stage with both Alan Doyle and Sean McCann (of Great Big Sea) and John McDermott. Notable recent gigs include; the Ireland Fund of Canada’s Luncheon, the St. Patrick’s Parade Society’s Grand Marshal’s Ball, the Canada Games 2022, and Toronto’s Celtic Island Music Festival. AYRON MORTLEY – VOCALS & GUITAR Fun Fact: Ayron also teaches guitar, bass, mandolin, tenor & 5-string banjo, piano, and drum lessons online. For the few rare nights a week, he’s not on the stage, he can be found on the ice where he’s slightly less professional. LINDSEY O’CONNELL – VOCALS, ACCORDION, HARMONICA, & TIN WHISTLES Fun Fact: Aside from playing music professionally, Lindsey is a real-life Snow White who can make friends with practically any wild animal. WARNING: she should not be disturbed while reading a good book. JIM BISH - VOCALS, TENOR SAXOPHONE & FLUTE Fun Fact: Jim has played music professionally all over the world; from Montreal to Memphis to Mogadishu. He makes beautiful music out of anything and everything, including the kitchen sink. Sponsored by ![]() |

The pure joy she exudes when she plays her guitars is so worth the show. In May 2024, Suzie performed at the Teatro Nazionale in Genova, Italy, as a guest of Italian acoustic guitarist and singer Beppe Gambetta and she also performed at the Baltic Blues Festival in Eutin, Germany. In July 2024 Suzie and her band opened for Burton Cummings at the Kemptville Live Music Festival; she also appeared as a special guest of Blackie & the Rodeo Kings at Ottawa Bluesfest in 2023, performing alongside Daniel Lanois.
