October Sky is an 8-piece Canadian Pop band from Fall River, Nova Scotia. The band formed in 2024 from a collection of ambitious teens who met at Joyful Sounds Music Studio and who all just couldn’t get enough of their favourite music. Their unique brand of entertainment fuses hard-hitting grooves and dry humour with creative guitar solos and impeccable attire that will make you want to float away on a dream cloud. Beautiful harmonies from Sadie Leblanc, Ethan Stilwell, and Grayson Downey‘s vocals blend with guitar solos from Devon Gomes and Thomas Levatte. Mckenna Peter’s keyboards and Silas Clermont’s and Tess Tuttle’s drums fill out the wall of sound.

Sharing the bill are The Plagiarists, the quintessence of a melancholy rock band that can make your heart skip a beat. Celebrated by the esteemed Joyful Sounds Music Studio, we’ve been called “sincere,” “hopeful,” and holders of beautifully tormented souls. We take pride in wearing our emotions on our sleeves… and our guitars. Think of us as your personal music medicine, the cure for your melancholic cravings. The Plagiarists are Phoenix Fost: Strumming strings like nobody’s business. Kayleigh Monette: soulful vocals hitting all the best notes. Aidan MacIver: Keeping the rhythm and smashing the beats with killer drumming skills.
