While it’s easy to pigeonhole Harlette as a pop duo, their sound reaches further depths than any one single genre. From melodically driven, in your face vocals that conjure cramped basement gigs, to booming drum and bass that put you front row centre at a stadium, Harlette pack an unbridled sonic blend of styles into everything they create. The one true constant throughout is the infectious and unflinching energy they bring, demonstrated on their newest single “Sirens”. Working collaboratively on the track, Harlette’s Michelle Owen (singer/songwriter), Martina Lake (singer/songwriter), Jay Emmons (guitar/producer) and Steve Kirstein (engineer/producer) took to Burnett to record “Sirens”.
The song will be featured on the duo’s upcoming self-titled EP due for release August 30th.

Boston Levi
Singer-Songwriter
Born and raised in Perth, ON, Boston Levi – a stage name for former professional hockey player turned musician Mike McNamee – burst onto the Canadian music scene following his signing with 745 Music; Levi first released ‘Feel It All’, holding nothing back in his quest to create compelling Americana/Rock music, and quickly followed with the acclaimed single ‘Run Baby Run’ and his most recent track ‘Thief’, all available on his 2021 debut EP Prophecies. Levi’s retirement from professional hockey, catalyzed by a year wrought with challenges stemming from the pandemic, allowed time for him to turn his sights to his burgeoning music career, adopting a rustic yet sophisticated sound and carving his own unique path as an artist.
Prophecies is vocally powerful and lyrically insightful, showcasing Levi’s dynamic style and astute ability to tell a story. While the polarities of hardened hockey player and understated songsmith are striking, the two aren’t mutually exclusive, and on Prophecies Levi delivers a six-track collection with timeless appeal, one that is as equally at home with fans of front porch folk as it is in the belly of the arena.
