Piner Bio:
Piner is a 23 year old singer-songwriter and old soul based in Katarokwi (Kingston, ON, Canada). Piner grew up in the environs of Skeleton Park, a community rife with musicians who put their thoughts into song and sang them to anyone who cared to listen. There, she both experienced the wealth of community and witnessed the reality of struggle.
Piner steps into the stories of others with her music and hopes that her songs will allow listeners to connect with all the complexities of the greater human experience. She released her debut album, The Breaking Point, in July 2018 to critical acclaim, showing “a display of pure confidence and vulnerability” (Mac Cameron, Dominionated). Piner released her full-band EP Root Bound in June 2019, featuring collaborations with Kingstonian artists.
Her newest album, A Netherworld, features many talented Canadian musicians. A project of hope and yearning during fractured, challenging times, Piner creates a world of connection, care and change through her songwriting and action based initiatives.
Michael Broadhead, Sam Nicks, Liam Cole and James Taylor will be lending their incredible musical talents as her backing band for the show.

Nice On Bio:
Nice On is a pop-funk powerhouse with a reputation for fueling high energy dance moves on and off stage. Featuring infectious riffs and tight grooves, their performances bring the funk with heavy live improvisation weaving contemporary soulful vocals, wild percussion, and tight horn lines, leaving catchy ear worms behind for days. Named one of Exclaim’s “New Faves” in January 2024, the band is hot off the trail of a packed year; releasing their debut live off the floor album No Jokes in April 2023; performing at several significant festivals around Ontario such as Back To the Farm, Limestone City Blues Fest, Spring Reverb and Nuit Blanche North; and additionally recording two tracks as artists in residence at the Kingston Grand Theatre. Their single “Pay Off Baby” from the residency released Dec 2024 and its music video premiered at KCFF 2024 as a part of the Slaight Music Video Program. Nice On can be relied upon to bring a fresh and exciting sound, leaving crowds eagerly awaiting their next performance.
