Pillow Fite is an emerging queer alt-folk duo from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Pairing tender, heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics with catchy alt-rock instrumentals and folky ballads, the genre lines get blurred in a way that keeps the project dynamic and binge-worthy while giving listeners all of the feels. Pillow Fite consists of singer-songwriter Art Ross (they/them) and guitarist Aaron Green (he/him). As a trans non-binary fronted band, Pillow Fite strive to represent queer experiences both on and off stage, and work hard to perform in safe and inclusive spaces.

@roseyslittlemelodies is a psychedelic pop project started by Evie Robinson-Dyck. Focused on warm, soft, vibey sounds with impactful lyrism and unique synthesizers, Roseys Little Melodies focuses on creating an experience that feels authentically human.

@scout.mouse or Ryan Paul, is a self-described “eclectic indie” artist. He currently plays in the band honey wine and is working on scout mouse as a solo project. Ryan is known in the community for performing at open mics and at one point in time: co-hosting a queer youth music circle.

@sadepaigemusic has so many stories to tell and only an acoustic guitar to make sense of it. This young singer-songwriter lives to fire up venues with his interactive retelling of the queer teenage experience. This music, created in and for ‘quiet bedrooms with loud thoughts’, is made to connect with the strange, the awkward, and for the inner teen who is still trying to find their zest for life.

Moe Mustache is a local fella who hails from the bustling metropolis of Sussex. He's a small-town hero making a name for himself in the exciting world of Saint John. Moe's dance moves may be lacking, but boy does he have charm.

All patrons will be ID'd upon entry and given a coloured bracelet corresponding with their ticket type (19+ or -19). Bartenders will also be checking IDs at the bar.
