Ghostly Hounds
Ghostly Hounds is the soulful folk-noir & old-time project of Francesca Mirai - a singer-songwriter and banjo player from Canada’s West Coast. Drawing inspiration from many genres, Francesca has become known for their unique vocals. They captivate audiences with a clear, soaring range, powerful projection, and just the right amount of grit, coalescing elegantly with traditional and modern banjo instrumentals. Ghostly Hounds is known for having a “double take” inducing performance, to which audience members often ascribe terms such as “haunting” or “enchanting”.
Ghostly Hounds began on the streets of Montreal in 2015, starting off busking before quickly transitioning to live music venues across the city. Over the past decade Ghostly Hounds has toured relentlessly, delivering countless performances all across Canada, ranging from solo sets to a full five-piece band. Their debut album, "Creature", was released in 2017, followed by "In the Rubble" in 2022 and their latest single "Lonely Winter" in 2024.

Bordercholly
Bordercholly is the songwriting, recording, and art project of Elsy Murphy, a Dublin based artist raised in the beautiful hills of Upstate New York. Bordercholly began as a solo recording project for Murphy in 2012, and she has released many recordings under the moniker. She has dragged the project kicking and screaming from Binghamton to Milwaukee, from Southern Indiana to Central New York and West Yorkshire, and has finally found a home in Dublin. Her music has been described as “a shaggy little thing, filtering the deep-sighing pop of There's Nothing Wrong With Love-era Built to Spill and early Modest Mouse through a lo-fi bedroom setup.” Her most recent EP “A Weird Little EP Mostly About Upstate New York” is available on Bandcamp.
Bordercholly’s live shows filter her background in the indie and post-punk scenes of Upstate New York through a folk lens.
