Shane Pendergast & Tayler Grace

Shane Pendergast has folk music in his blood. Hailing from a long lineage of storytellers and musicians in Prince Edward Island, he is keeping the Maritime folk tradition alive with his honest and insightful compositions. From acclaimed folk festivals across the world to the small halls of PEI, Shane has cemented himself as one of Atlantic Canada’s finest folk troubadours. His 2021 album Second Wind won Contemporary Roots Album of the Year at the Music PEI Awards, and in 2025 he released his fourth album Winter Grace, a deeply personal collection that captures both the joys and hardships of life in the Maritimes.

Tayler Grace is an Edmonton-based country-folk singer-songwriter whose sound is shaped by the influences of artists such as Sierra Ferrell, Johnny Cash, and Gregory Alan Isakov. She has performed at prominent festivals across Canada, including the Edmonton Folk Music Festival and the Winnipeg Folk Music Festival. Her most recent EP, West Coast Girl, features JUNO-nominated fiddler Brianna Lizotte alongside a collection of accomplished local instrumentalists. Grace also contributes as a vocalist and instrumentalist to The Orvald Wayne Show.
