Joel Plaskett and Peter Elkas performing!

Joel Plaskett For over three decades, Joel Plaskett has proven himself a spinning wheel of reinvention. The Nova Scotia songwriter's eclectic body of work reveals a restless and playful spirit, always transforming and expanding.   While continuing to celebrate -- and be celebrated for -- his regional ties and embrace of East Coast musical traditions, Joel’s omnivorous appetite for new sonic horizons is an integral part of his work. His discography includes heavy riff epics, like Thrush Hermit's now-classic swansong Clayton Park (1999), and low-fi and wide eyed solo records like In Need of Medical Attention (1999) and La De Da (2005). Then there are the endeavours that push the envelope further: the Emergency’s romantic epic concept album Ashtray Rock (2007); and Three (2009) and 44 (2020), Joel’s sprawling, multi-record ventures exploring love, loss, and existential investigation. For his latest release, the 4-track project One Real Reveal (2024), Plaskett strips his songwriting down to its raw materials, allowing everything in—all the human touches the tape could pick up—and letting (almost) everything out.   Coast-to-coast and the world 'round, Joel has rocked crowds at clubs, festivals and grand old theatres with longtime Emergency bandmates Dave Marsh and Chris Pennell as well as drawn audiences close with intimate acoustic shows, both solo and with his father, Bill. Then there are the special events that have really allowed Joel to reach the rafters, like headlining Toronto’s Massey Hall with everyone in tow, playing the NAC in Ottawa backed by the national orchestra, and warming up huge stages for artists like the Tragically Hip and Paul McCartney.

Peter Elkas   Peter Elkas is an award-winning singer-songwriter and producer from Toronto, Canada. Originally from Montreal, he spent his formative years in the alt-rock band Local Rabbits.   As a touring session multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, he has toured internationally backing the likes of Neko Case, Joel Plaskett, Andy Kim, and others. Over the last 20 years, he has released multiple albums under his own name, produced by Don Kerr (Ron Sexsmith, Bahamas) and Charlie Sexton (Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello). His albums Party Of One, Wall Of Fire, Repeat Offender, and Lion are celebrated and influential Toronto indie staples.   Peter Elkas has shared stages with many celebrated artists such as Feist, The Doobie Brothers, Nick Lowe, and Bruce Springsteen. He has recently collaborated with Toronto’s Dani Nash (July Talk, Sarah Harmer) to co-write and co-produce her critically acclaimed self-titled debut LP and recent singles Ordinary Love / Anything At All.   Elkas’ latest single Sweet Spot is available on all streaming platforms and was recently added into rotation on CBC3. All were produced and recorded in Elkas’ Toronto studio, The Nest—a writing and production hub for songwriters and performers such as Charlotte Cornfield, Choir! Choir! Choir!, Sarah Harmer, and Leslie Feist.
