  • A Conversation with ILARIO FERRARI TRIO

    Formed in 2020 during the global lockdown, the trio found solace in their musical synergy, quickly developing their unique sound.Their debut performance in 2021 at Lauderdale House in London, live-streamed across Europe, served as a catalyst for their rise to public attention. The trio’s 2021 debut album, "Childhood Memories," was widely praised and received international radio support, helping them secure high-profile live shows.

    These include the Watford Jazz Festival in 2022 and collaborating with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra on a world premiere. They have also performed at the London Jazz Festival, Pizza Express Jazz Club, Ecosuoni Festival in Italy, and Jazzahead in Germany, among others.

    The new album Above The Clouds will be released via Elsden Music in October. At the heart of this new record lies the theme of relationships: our connection to the planet, the musical and personal bonds between Ilario, Charlie, Katie and their relationships with loved ones. It is also about elevation and observation, from ‘Above The Clouds’ and from the grounded embrace of Mother Earth, impressions of love, loss, and of home are expressed through a beguiling blend of vocal-led songs and instrumentals.

    The Ilario Ferrari Trio’s innovative approach combined with their indisputable skill promises to be a breath of fresh air in the jazz world

  • A Conversation with MANYLIGHTS

    DuRae O’Shea Wilkinson aka ManyLights was born into music. His dad was a recording studio engineer, reggae producer and artist before he was born. On January 29th, 1988 Susan Ann Wilkinson and Delroy Leo Wilkinson welcomed DuRae into this world at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto Ontario Canada. After the routine stay at the hospital post-birth his parents took him home to their apartment where they introduced him to his first room. DuRae’s first room was not like most kids' rooms with light pastel colored walls, toys all around and a rocking chair in the corner. DuRae’s first crib was situated in the corner of his fathers recording studio. They only had a two bedroom apartment so DuRae had to become roommates with the studio. 

    DuRae became accustomed to being surrounded by music and he always expressed himself in a musical way before he could even talk. By the time he was 4 years old they had moved to a house in Thornhill, Ontario. His father built a full studio in the basement and at the early age 4, DuRae was freestyling in the studio to his fathers beats and making up songs on the spot. When he wasn’t sitting quietly in the corner of his dads recording sessions, he would entertain the clients whenever he got the chance.


    In 2021 DuRae moved to Jamaica into a half built family home. He was running away from the stress and chaos happening in Canada with the pandemic. He wanted to be somewhere he felt safe and free. During his time there he got his citizenship and passport. He also made some incredible music connections. 


    One thing led to another and he met Anthony Red Rose. The man that would change his life as he knows it. 


    And here we are… DuRae is on a big time riddim called Awesome Sauce being released as a single alongside Jamaican juggernauts such as Beenie Man, Bounty Killa, Red Rose, Pressure Buss Pipe and Capelton! 


    DuRae’s name means ManyLights and that’s the name he uses for his stage name. DuRae believes his name to be a reflection of all of us. He believes we are all many lights, many bright and gifted people in our own ways. The name ManyLights is also perfect for DuRae as he has many gifts and talents to showcase to the world. 


    He has gone through various names throughout his career. From Lil’ D to Duey to DueyDoWhat to now ManyLights… you can expect the same level of passion and effort towards his craft. 


    We have a lot to look forward to as he has a full warehouse of music of multiple genres ready for us to enjoy. Even though we never knew he was making music all these years… he was making music all these years. Music is a source of life for ManyLights and his intention is for his music to bring more joy, healing, wisdom and love into our lives.

  • A Conversation with THISTLE & OAK

    Thistle and Oak, an Alternative Americana duo, blend the bright harmonies of old-time folk music with the captivating choruses of alternative rock and Americana to create a mixture of sound that coalesces the duality in their music. Finding inspiration in, and in turn drawing comparisons to, The Head and The Heart, Of Monsters and Men, Nickel Creek, and The Civil Wars, they infuse honest warmth and genuine emotion into the meaning of their lyrics and the texture of their harmonies. The duo, composed of singer-songwriters Paul Ryan and Lindsey Ann, first bumped into each other at a blues bar in Chicago where a spark of romantic chemistry turned into creative collaboration. They shared stories of their musical hopes and dreams until the sun came up and have been chasing those dreams together ever since. Their live shows run the expanse of human emotion from lonesome ballads to exuberant anthems, delivering a contagious, passionate performance. Thistle and Oak offer a must-see live experience, transforming traditional Americana sounds into an enchanting journey.
