Those putting out new work include Menno Versteeg (frontman of indie rock favourites Hollerado), Montreal prog-rock auteur Alex Henry Foster, acclaimed Toronto jazz guitar ace Reg Schwager, Vancouver rockers Movieland, blues guitarist-songwriter Lucas Haneman and saxophonist-composer Nicola Miller.


There's also a recent new album from acclaimed Toronto R&B singer-songwriter Roy Woods, part of Drake's OVO Sound label roster. Rolling Stone is described as his most personal work yet.

Tory Lanez Is Being Transferred to a New Prison After Being Stabbed, His Dad Says

The artist suffered 14 stab wounds in a prison attack last week.

Tory Lanez’s father, Sonstar Peterson, joined NewsNation’s CUOMO hosted by Chris Cuomo on Wednesday night (May 21), where he revealed that his son is being transferred to a new prison after being stabbed while in prison earlier in the month.

Peterson explained that Lanez isn’t receiving any special treatment, but his move is part of California prison protocol following an act of violence.
