Craig Robertson is a Toronto-based singer/songwriter/musician who has been performing for over 30 years. In the vein of Canadian songwriters Matthew Good and Ron Sexsmith, Craig’s latest album ‘Everything Will Pass’ is “reminiscent of the melancholic vibe of artists such as Nick Drake or Elliott Smith, but with a little more lightness to it, and an outlook towards classic sounds such as Neil Young-inspired folk rock” – Indie Music Album Reviews
www.heatherhill.ca
Heather Hill plays gutsy piano pop, stemmed in truth, blooming in positivity. Award winning songwriter, Heather is working on her third album and releasing her FACTOR-funded single “Stupid Happy” in September.

I had an amazing afternoon in my home town at the 2013 Markham Village Music Festival, playing on the Epidemic Music Group Stage. The weather was absolutely perfect for us, and the crowd was very generous and appreciative. Joining me in the line up on Saturday was a host of local talents including: Harrison Caldeira, Gregory Swan, Ro Randall, Russell Jackson-Wyatt, Kayden Buxton, Jen Fiorentino, Mackenzie McRruer, Dread Eye, Jeannette, Patrons of Science, and Shaman Ayerhart.
