Adam Kirkup / Maddisun / Mallory Chipman Adam Kirkup (UK) Born on the Northumberland coast, Adam Kirkup makes tender, storytelling folk that's been compared to Paul Simon and Gordon Lightfoot. His debut EP, 'It's Only Love That Makes It Feel Like Losing' was called 'pure poetry' by BBC radio and 'stirring, sensitive and spellbinding' by YouTube musician Mary Spender. In 2025 he's shared stages with St Catherine's Child, Withered Hand and WWE hall-of-famer Mick Foley. Maddisun (Canada) Born in the wilderness of Cranbrook, BC, Maddisun creates soulful songwriter-folk with rootsy rock energy-reflecting her small-town upbringing and big-star dreams. Her warm, magnetic stage presence has made her a standout in Canada’s indie folk scene. In 2025, she doubled her audience and played 60+ shows nationwide, including sold-out releases at Toronto’s Cameron House and Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre, plus a packed Vancouver show opening for breakout artist Pearl. Powered by fearless ambition, raw talent, and a pure artist heart, Maddisun unveiled her third album - The Pages (July 2025) selling hundreds of physical copies in the first month, an unconventional move to break away from digital mass generated music. Mallory Chipman (Canada) Hailing from the Canadian prairies, Mallory Chipman is a true musical polymath. An award-winning musician as well as a songwriter, producer, and music scholar, Chipman is celebrated for her acrobatic voice and the way she powerfully weaves truth and story into song. With influences from across genres, Mallory Chipman's signature sound has been described as "the finest folk-rock currently being made" (Amplify Magazine), has hit #5 on North American Folk charts, and has been featured on NPR and SiriusXM Radio. While reflecting contemporary themes, the quality of Chipman’s craft “places her amidst the longer tradition of the great singer-songwriters” (Americana UK) and has been described as "a masterclass in innovation and creativity" (Certified Bop), establishing her as an instant classic in the Canadian folk music scene. Mallory Chipman is currently nominated for Solo Artist of the Year at the 2026 Canadian Folk Music Awards. Presented by Paper Dress Vintage. This is an 18+ event
