Ayla Bryn

Ayla Bryn's eclectic sound varies from lively indie pop/rock to intimate folk ballads, landing somewhere between Olivia Rodrigo, The Strokes, and Phoebe Bridgers. A fun beat, ironically depressing lyrics, a pinch of satire and catchy melodies will have you crying and laughing and dancing all in one night! For the past two years Ayla’s been performing across Vancouver and releasing music on all platforms, including her debut album “Death of a Pessimist”. Get ready to laugh, cry and dance with Ayla Bryn <3

Retrofit

Harboured in the valley comes a supergroup of friends that have played music all their lives to form the one & only Retrofit. A band that’s made up of all the best parts of 70’s psychedelic folk rock & cosmic country. Retrofit is an emotional journey that sets out to bring people together to dance or get lost amongst the seasonal melancholy using lush simple chord structures & dialled in vocal harmonies that wrap around listeners like morning glory upon the dawning of a cozy Sunday.

Four Good Emperors

Based in North Vancouver, BC, this up and coming group have steadily been working on their development and branding. With two previous releases in 2024, this year will have their focus on releasing their first EP, as well as branching out from their local community to head towards surrounding areas to connect with a larger audience. With only two months of writing together, they recorded their first demo in 2023 “Keep or Forget” which later became their first release in April 2024 following a family and friends show. Shortly after their second release “In Outta Love” mid November, 2024, they were invited to perform in January, 2025 at the famous Fox Cabaret, resulting in a successfully packed club performing along side artists, “Myles From Home” and “Anna Katarina”. Since then, they have been featured on two episodes of bc unsigned radio and are slowly starting to build their fanbase across Vancouver as well as through streaming services and social media. Their music offers a fresh contemporary twist on timeless vintage tones. By blending soul, r&b, funk rock and psychedelic sounds, they pay homage to their inspirations mostly rooted from the sixties and seventies eras. Their close bond off the stage is brought on stage welcoming the crowd with an inviting stage presence to move and groove, encouraging audience participation through diverse performances of originals and covers.
