Meet the Artists

The Grenville Troubadours – A lively ensemble known for their sing-along performances featuring a mix of Celtic tunes, Beatles classics, and more.

Bruce Enloe – A genre-bending singer-songwriter whose music mixes influences from the Beatles and classic country to 70s glam, indie rock, and folk. Originally from Texas and now based in Kemptville, Bruce is well known for his love of Farmers’ Markets—famously willing to “work for beets.”

 Arthur McGregor & James Clugston – Arthur, a Canadian folk legend, ran the Ottawa Folklore Centre for 35 years, while James is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter with a passion for rhythm and storytelling.

Bruce Enloe and Friends – A spontaneous, free-spirited jam session where anyone is welcome to join in. Expect a mix of top-notch, medium-notch, and at least one bottom-notch musician (you know who you are!).

Heroic Mad Peasants – A soulful group blending 12-string guitar, fiddle, and rich harmonies to deliver songs of struggle, hope, and joy.

Tripoly – A harmony-driven trio featuring members of Fiddlehead Soup, known for their beautifully arranged folk and world music.
