MUSIC stage

Join us for our closing night Music Stage with performances from Pillow Fite and Freya Milliken! 

PERFORMERS:

Pillow Fite is a queer alt-folk duo from Halifax, Nova Scotia. After meeting in the pandemic, the pair have made music and travelled the world for the last four years. They just finished their European and USA tour. They just released a record called 'Hard Feelings, Soft Promises' and have recently been named CBC's 2SLGBTQ+ Canadian Artists To Watch.

Art Ross (they/them) and Aaron Green (he/him) come from disparate backgrounds and musical forms, meeting in the middle to comprise a band that’s tender and fierce, exuberant and gentle. Green—a veteran of the Halifax rock scene, the guitar anchor of Floodland and Hello Delaware—and Ross—a trans songwriter with an acoustic guitar—started writing songs together over text, by accident. Pillow Fite emerged publicly at the start of 2021 with its non-binary gender-subverting aesthetics already in place and a languid lead single in “Playing the Fool.”

Freya Milliken is a musician, songwriter, and performer based in the Annapolis Valley and have been working in music full-time for the last two years.  In May 2023, she received my Bachelor of Music degree at Acadia University and released my debut EP, “Wholeheartedly,” the following November. Freya has played at many music festivals across the East Coast, including Paddlefest, Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, and Deep Roots Music Festival, among others. 

Between sets, we will also announce the Festival Awards! Space is limited so grab your tickets in advance!
