Two of Canada's greatest roots singer-songwriters have finally done what everybody's wanted - heck, what they've wanted - for years. Dave Gunning and J.P. Cormier released their first album together, called Two. Great friends, frequent collaborators, co-writers and touring partners, the pair talked about this album since pretty much the day they met. And it's everything fans hoped and dreamed it would be. Dave and J.P. brought Two to the Registry in April of 2018, accompanied by a raging late winter storm. If you missed them then, don't miss them now!

Ontario's Finest. Live stream available.
Allison Lupton has always been immersed in Canadian folk life, but it took a love and intense study of Irish and Celtic music for her to find her way to the Canadian folk music tradition that she has grown up around. Her newest album, "Words of Love" showcases her original material, songs which fit so perfectly into the cannon of Canadian folk music that they could easily be mistaken for traditional numbers. Along with her band mates Andrew Collins, Shane Cook, Tony McManus, Joseph Phillips and Ivan Rosenberg, Allison brings to life the best of the contemporary folk music scene in Ontario, while incorporating the Celtic influences that have been such an important part of the Canadian immigrant story as well as her own musical path.
