Ep. 20 with Festival Organizer & Singer-Songwriter, Tania Joy (Springtide Music Festival)
On episode 20 I speak with singer-songwriter, Tania Joy. Tania is a multi-talented artist who played with Serena Ryder and was in The Weeknd’s original backing band and her latest album, I Will Stand, was produced by 2022 Juno Award winner Hill Kourkoutis.
Tania has also played a huge role in co-founding and organizing the Springtide Music Festival, a 3-day festival showcasing live music across a diverse set of small venues in downtown Uxbridge, Ontario. I was lucky enough to join the festival last year, and had an absolutely amazing time performing, meeting other artists, and catching sets from Skye Wallace, Alysha Brilla, Boy Golden, Elliot Brood, Bedoin Soundclash, Mattie Leon, and so many more!
This year’s festival runs from June 9-11, 2023 and early bird tickets are on sale now!
