The world of Isabella and The Sprouts is an introspective, tender, and sincere one. Their live sets are filled with emotive lyrics, the occasional story and sing-alongs. The close bond of the Sprouts is reflected through harmonies and instrumentation in a style inspired by the folk revival of the 60s.

Gabe Elias is a folk songwriter from Toronto, based in Victoria. His self-produced debut album ‘Many Long Goodbyes’ is a time capsule of his experiences moving out west and the accompanying feelings that come from uprooting one’s life. Gabe brings warmth to a room with his love of folk rock, raw vocal expression, and honest lyricism.
