Meet the Band: 🎸East of Sundown

Formed in 2023, East of Sundown is a rising Canadian band known for big hooks, driving grooves and a live show that hits hard.

Every member brings a different influence to the table - country, blues, classic rock, metal and alt grunge. The collision of those worlds is exactly what gives East of Sundown their edge! They write songs that feel lived-in, fueled by real stories, real struggles and real fire.🔥

🎤Onstage, the band is a force - tight, loud & unapologetically alive.
🎼Offstage, they’re a brotherhood who simply love making music together.

East of Sundown isn’t following trends. They’re building something unique, driven by the same mission — to make music that feels alive, authentic and built to last.

This group has built a reputation that delivers onstage, in the studio and everywhere in between. Their momentum has earned them major opportunities, including:

⭐️ Opening for Canadian icon April Wine
⭐️ Sharing the stage with country-rock legend Sawyer Brown.

Each performance has pushed the band further, sharpening their identity and expanding their reach.

Their debut EP, Chasing Sunsets, captures the heart of what East of Sundown does best - honest songwriting, soaring choruses and the kind of energy that stays with you long after the last note. 🎶

The EP is available on all streaming platforms and for vinyl lovers, it’s also pressed and stocked in record stores.

Buckle up and get ready for a high energy ride with East of Sundown at Summerfest! ⚡️

MEET THE BAND: 🎸 The Motorleague

Formed in Moncton, NB from the remnants of beloved local rock outfits The Ditchpigs and The Monoxides, The Motorleague has spent nearly two decades carving out their own unmistakable place in Canada’s rock scene.

Known for their electrifying performances and DIY spirit, the band has built a fiercely loyal following across Canada through years of touring and unforgettable festival appearances.

✨SUMMER NIGHTS SPOTLIGHT✨

MEET THE BAND:🎸 The Orchids

Formed in 2023 by Rhys Poirier (guitar/vocals) and Alexis Grant (drums), The Orchids are a two-piece punk/stoner rock band from Truro, Nova Scotia.

The duo burst onto the East Coast music scene with ferocious live performances and a “Volume Equals Better” mentality. Channeling raw energy, thunderous grooves, and fuzz-drenched riffs, The Orchids deliver a sound that’s loud, primal, and far bigger than you’d expect from just two musicians.

Blending punk aggression with heavy stoner-rock swagger, they’ve quickly built a reputation for high-energy sets that leave crowds buzzing long after the amps cool down.

As one of Atlantic Canada’s rising underground acts, The Orchids are proving that sometimes the heaviest sound comes from the smallest lineup. With new music, bigger stages, and plenty of noise ahead, this is a band you’ll want to experience live and loud. 🔥

Worship the riff. Support your local power duo!
