Jeanne Truax, originally from Kawartha Lakes, received the 2025 Peterborough Folk Festival’s Emerging Artist Award.  You will see why as soon as she steps on stage. Inspired by The Beatles and Wanda Jackson, Jeanne’s rockabilly and roots-flavoured performance will leave you coming back for more.  To her blend of Canadiana and Indie sounds, Jeanne brings a vintage touch with her unique voice and the realist charm of her lyrics.

The Honeyrunners are a Northern take on Southern Soul – hot-blooded and rife with the poetry of human folly, their music aimed at disrobing a global culture of apathy. The energy of this Toronto band is undeniable on stage and on record. They are fronted by Ottawa-born songwriter Dan Dwoskin (keys, lead vocals) and Canadian-Peruvian engineer / producer, Guillermo Subauste (bass, vocals).

The Honeyrunners have shared a decade's worth of stages with friends and mentors including The Sadies, Bahamas, Joel Plaskett, Jim Cuddy, Terra Lightfoot, The Trews, The Beaches, My Son The Hurricane, Skye Wallace, Samantha Martin, Philip Sayce, and many more. With an album and an EP already under their belts, the band has earned airplay across Canada, the US, UK, Germany, the Netherlands and beyond. In 2026 they are back in studio recording a raw batch of songs guaranteed to break a few hearts on the road.
