SHINE! has been blessed over our now 17 (!) years to have had the support and friendship of many wonderful Canadian performers.  As a small gesture of thanks for their generosity of spirit and in celebration of their wonderful talent, we have put together a playlist featuring many of them –  we’ve missed a handful, but definitely not for lack of appreciation: we would have loved to have included absolutely everyone here!

We hope that you enjoy this playlist, which we will be featuring at the opening and closing of this year’s
SHINE! Concert, which is happening at Lula Lounge, 6-10pm Sunday 1 March 2026.
