Sarah McLachlan
Sarah McLachlan is one of Canada’s most celebrated singer-songwriters with over 40 million albums sold worldwide. She is an Officer of the Order of Canada, the recipient of the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards for Lifetime Achievement and is a Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee. In 2002 she founded her non-profit Sarah McLachlan School of Music, which provides high quality music education and mentorship free to children and youth facing various barriers to access.
Tom Cochrane
The iconic Tom Cochrane is a born storyteller, his songwriting informed by a deep social conscience. Born in the northern Manitoba town of Lynn Lake in 1953 and raised in Etobicoke, Ontario, Cochrane has released a grand total of 17 albums as solo artist and band leader. Cochrane is a member of the Order of Canada, Canada’s Walk of Fame and the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame. He is a 25-time JUNO Award nominee with eight wins (including the JUNO Humanitarian Award), a SOCAN Cultural Impact Award recipient and a Grammy Award nominee. Cochrane continues to headline festivals across Canada with Red Rider and as a solo artist.
Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor (Blue Rodeo)
Those who have followed Blue Rodeo realize that the magic of the band’s sound is that co-leaders Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor are distinctly different personalities that complement each other. There are two definite songwriting voices within the band – and whatever they’re doing to bring those voices together has worked. Blue Rodeo has sold more than four million albums, received countless JUNO Awards, been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, been named to the Order of Canada and been honoured with the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award.
Diane Tell
Diane Tell is one of Québec’s pioneering female singer-songwriters, an emblematic figure of the Francophonie, recognized for her exceptional talent as a lyricist and for her unique voice. Her rich and diverse career spans several decades and is marked by hits that have transcended borders and generations. Diane’s career has been recognized with several awards and distinctions for her significant contribution to music: she won a Victoire de la musique in France and six Félix Awards, in addition to being nominated 15 more times, and was named Chevalier des arts et lettres de France in 2023.
