Wallgrin is the experimental art-pop project of Toronto composer, vocalist, and violinist Tegan Wahlgren. Blending lush strings, beat-driven pop, and ornate vocal arrangements, their music draws on mythological and fantastical imagery while channeling influences ranging from Celtic fiddle to avant-pop. Described as a songwriter who “measures up to standards set by art-pop visionaries like Björk and Kate Bush” (Northern Transmissions), Wallgrin has performed at international festivals including Iceland Airwaves and Tallinn Music Week. Featuring Jen Yakamovich (drums), Elisa Thorn (harp), Nikko Whitworth (bass), and Amanda Sum (keys/synth).

Devours is the dark synth-pop project of Vancouver DIY musician Jeff Cancade. Across five acclaimed albums, including the Polaris Prize-longlisted Homecoming Queen, Devours has crafted confessional electronic music exploring masculinity, body image, queer politics, and nightlife culture. Called “unpredictable, and relentlessly catchy” by Exclaim!, Devours delivers sharp, subversive queer pop that is equally introspective and irresistibly danceable.

Presented in partnership with the Vancouver International Jazz Festival.
