Signed Artists
Small Town Artillery
Small Town Artillery is from Kaslo, BC. Their mission is to create funk-influenced, melodic, heartfelt, and riff-driven rock & roll. They’ve been booking their own tours, playing festivals, and taking over clubs and backyards for three years. This is a DIY band that puts together a truly unforgettable show.
Frontman, Tom Van-Deursen, cannot contain his excitement as he leaps onto the stage with his ruby-red telecaster slung gregariously across his chest. Drummer and brother, Derek Van-Deursen, owns the throne behind the drums, providing the group their foundation. Consummate professional, Carson Webber plays the base and is the perfect glue for the brothers.
The band tours with a full horn section. Always.

Marty Zylstra
Marty Zylstra’s music perfectly encapsulates the gentle nostalgia of a timeless era. No stranger to loss, the feeling of tragedy and longing is ever-present in the Vancouver pop-rockers music.
His music also grasps an addictive dairy-free sense of hope that immediately lingers to listeners. His songs are simultaneously heart wrenching yet uplifting, a beautiful dichotomy that is rare to find.
Marty’s newest record, Boom Chicka arrived Jan 15, 2021. After releasing singles separately as the definitive works of art they each are. They say writing song is like having children and Marty has created an incredible family.

David Newberry
David Newberry’s songs provide insight into the remarkably complex world we live in. Never sacraficing hopefulness for truth (or beauty for despair) he coaxes the listener into a conversation about life, art, and the magic of survival in challenging times. Armed with a sharp eye for detail and an ear for pushing the boundaries of what roots music “sounds like,” he has made a tangible impact across a number of musical communities.
“Newberry can be filed alongside the likes of young troubadours like Jerry Leger and Corin Raymond as evidence that Canadian roots music is in good hands.”
Exclaim Magazine
“Newberry doesn’t sacrifice lyrical creativity even when he’s making noisy, guitar-driven tunes…”
CBC Music
“David’s music is delivered with passion and intensity such as I have rarely experienced. Each song is like a masterpiece of concise writing, not one wasted word or thought. Each drives home the fact that I am listening to exquisite insights into the human condition. A brilliant blend of heart and mind that is all but missing in most of his contemporaries writing today. He is a brilliant poet and compelling performer. I will be in the audience again as often as I can. I think he is an outstanding writer. Simply outstanding.”
