Leah Marlene - Pop/country siren with big songs and equally expansive arrangements/production. She is Canadian but lives in Nashville and grew up in America living and breathing Country vibes. She came close to winning American Idol recently. She is the daughter of Honeymoon Suite guitarist Derry Grehan (who is an absolute legend in Canada!)

Chris Erasmus - Solo guitar picking county artist with a deep dark voice à la the guy from The Handsome Family and Johnny Cash. He's just come back from a trip to Nashville where he recorded his new album with Grammy winner Scott Jacoby (Coldplay, John Legend - another touchstone).
