STARPAINTER "I live on the last road at the very edge of Lethbridge," says Starpainter's bandleader Joel Stretch. "It's easy to head out into the country from where I live. That kinda sums up the Starpainter mindset musically: we're a town band, but we drift off into country tones any time we want."Connecting the dots between cinematic folk, fuzzy country rock, and richly textured pop, Starpainter has been a bright light in Alberta’s indie scene since 2019. Composed of stellar members of Lethbridge’s music community (Joel Gray, Mickey Hayward, Dylan Wagner, Bailey Kate, and Tyler Stewart) and led by Joel Stretch’s assiduous songwriting and plaintive voice, Starpainter highlights meaningful, everyday moments with tender care. Since releasing their sophomore full-length, Rattlesnake Dream (2023), they've played shows and festivals across Canada and Japan and evolved from a four-piece to a six-piece, inviting their sound to travel further afield.For their new album, Cayenne Flowerbed (2026), Starpainter teamed up with producer Chris Dadge, known for his collaborations with Alvvays and Chad Vangaalen. Dadge’s adventurous taste and irreverent pop sensibilities are a perfect complement for Stretch’s deep-rooted songs, and the album is lush with bright acoustic guitars, searching slide guitar, and idiosyncratic percussion. Equal parts indie-twang and indie-rock, Starpainter’s latest invites you to rest into its reflections on routine struggles and joys.CARTER FELKER Intricacy is often overlooked when accompanied by the sort of plain-spoken straight talk fashioned by Calgary singer-songwriter Carter Felker. Evoking the memory of such luminaries as Clark, Van Zandt and Prine, Felker’s nimble self-accompaniment neatly underscores the raw, universal themes he brings to life with his reedy tenor. Possessing an innate ability to weave no-bullshit narratives that speak to the genuine travails of the hard done by, Felker’s latest LP, Even The Happy Ones Are Sad is a sublime interpr
