Suzie Ungerleider

We are very excited to present Suzie Ungerleider with special guest Matt Kennedy from the Headlong Hearts for our season finale!

Suzie Ungerleider’s gloriously emotive, crystalline voice and her bewitching performances have captivated audiences for over 25 years. A wordsmith with a keen mind for detail and a wicked sense of humour, Suzie’s songs and voice pierce the heart, inspire a knowing laugh or a welling of the eye.

Matt Kennedy has been singing and playing guitar and mandolin for decades in western Canada. He can’t remember not having a song in his head. He writes songs about family, friends, observations on life, and the majestic western landscape. Matt loves old guitars and mandolins, and singing and playing live music for people who like that kind of thing. Matt is songwriter, singer and guitarist in Vancouver’s Headlong Hearts and also plays mandolin in the Five on a String bluegrass band. @welcomemattkennedy

Super excited to have Tonye Aganaba, coming to Bez.

Tonye is a Much More Music Video Award recipient, a steadfast fixture in their arts community - and the kind of singer/performer that turns heads wherever they go.
