Sal is a Pakistani-Canadian artist blending contemporary sounds with the deep roots of traditional folk. He is releasing his sophomore album, Forthcoming & Clean, recorded at Joel Plaskett's studio in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and performed live with C.A. & Sonny. Sal is known for rich storytelling and poignant lyrics drawn from personal experience and sharp observations of life's complexities. Whimsy runs as a quiet undercurrent throughout the music, subtly weaving together lightness and melancholy.

He will be followed by Miranda Ceara & The Odd Fellows Orchestra, who reimagine the sounds of prewar jazz, blues, and calypso, weaving them into an original and distinctly modern cabaret-noir. Featuring brass, strings, and rhythm, their sound is anchored by Miranda's unique songwriting and vocal delivery.
