 ELLIOTT BROOD

“Doing it the hard way for 20 years,” is a badge Elliott BROOD wear with honour. Two decades on, work, life and love have taken the trio in many directions, away from their hometowns and headfirst into an ongoing musical journey through distance and time. Now, after being members of this band for nearly half of their lives, Elliott BROOD is never more at home than in the wash of distorted, evocative strings and stomps that make their signature alt country sound.    

Elliott BROOD appeared on the cover of Exclaim Magazine in 2008 as the new ambassadors of a roots, folk rock and alt country wave that flourished in Toronto’s early aughts. Elliott BROOD’s arrival came with a level of buzz that launched them directly into the heart of a vibrant Toronto scene that centered at label Six Shooter Records, where they have returned to release their newest music. Their live show, a maelstrom of frenetic energy and fuzz, has brought them back and forth across continents countless times on bills The Sadies, Wilco, The Black Crowes, and many more. Their albums, meticulously crafted, detail-packed collections have brought some of Canada’s highest musical honours and awards, including an early Polaris Music Prize Short List and a JUNO Award.   

In their twenty years, the band has remained fiercely loyal to their mysterious namesake. The stylized, imaginary character has guided the band’s travels over mountains and meadows, and through the more harrowing sides of history. Elliott BROOD has grown into a vessel for the trio’s shared history too, with new songs finding connection and communion in themes that hit much closer to home. With smile lines and guitar fingers long hardened with callouses, Elliott BROOD has been doing it the hard way, but making it sound easy.

CABIN FEVER
Desperately yearning for their Northern roots, this southwestern Ontario alternative folk/roots band often finds themselves pining over poplars and birch. They plant these feelings in a forest of incandescent guitar, heart-pounding upright bass, restless mandolin, howling vocals, and thundering kick drum suitcase & washboard or full drums that speak to the hearts of all who stop to listen. Through happenstance and shared tales of their journeys living among the forests and lakes of La Ronge, Saskatchewan, and Muskoka, Ontario, Cabin Fever was formed around a campfire in the unlikely locale of Camlachie, Ontario, along the sparkling and unpredictable blue waters of Lake Huron.

Known for captivatingly tight harmonies, Jess, Kyle, and Colin showcase compelling style and versatility from the festival stage to intimate cabin concerts and the spaces in between. They spin performances that are tactfully rugged yet wistful and alluring, drawing audiences in with dynamic storytelling through song, quick-witted banter, and genuine connection.

Cabin Fever’s hit single “Devil Is A Friend” is featured in Season 3 of The Trades (CraveTV). They have opened for acclaimed acts including The Sadies, Sam Roberts Band, Emm Gryner, and The Once, and shared stages with The Strumbellas, Cat Clyde, Jeremie Albino, Wyatt C. Lewis, My Son The Hurricane, and more. Cabin Fever released their much-anticipated EP It’s Only Forever in 2025 and toured the record as part of their Yours To Discover Tour to great acclaim.

With new music, shows, and touring continuing into 2026, come along as Cabin Fever takes you from a meandering paddle across a lake of glass to the thundering of the herds crossing the Great Plains. Settle in with a cup of cocoa (or something a little stronger) and gather around the fire as Cabin Fever warms your soul and rekindles your wanderlust.
