Jay Dufour has nine Juno Awards and eighteen Billboard #1s. He mixed July Talk's Touch. João Carvalho mastered Rush, Tragically Hip, and Alexisonfire. Their latest project is a four-piece from Waterloo, Ontario called Awake & Dreaming.
It starts with piano and a voice close enough to feel. Then the guitars crack open and it hits you in the chest. Sasha Kristoff commands the stage in sequined gowns while Stefan Schneider, Phil Lee, and Ryan Dugal build the storm behind her — backed by a synchronized light show the band designed and runs themselves. Foxfire Magazine: "Making moments people will want to go back to." UK's AnalogueTrash: "Flawlessly future-proof."
This March, the band opens three nights for Carole Pope — three-time Juno winner and Rough Trade frontwoman — including El Mocambo in Toronto. They've played the Canadian National Exhibition twice, The Delancey in New York City, and toured Ontario to NYC. 186,000 Spotify streams. 50+ shows. No label.
Debut album Inevitable arrives summer 2026
