HEADLINER - RaytheNihilist

RaytheNihilist is an award-nominated Indigenous hip-hop artist representing the Blood Tribe.

Blending rap, storytelling, and Indigenous culture, his music explores resilience, identity, and the realities of being Indigenous in modern society. Through themes of language revitalization and cultural connection, he aims to inspire youth and offer a contemporary perspective on Indigenous identity.

Known for combining powerful lyricism with smooth, self-produced instrumentals, Ray has released three EPs and several singles, including the well-received I’ve Been Doing Good EP (2023). He began recording his debut studio album in 2024, featuring prominent Indigenous artists.

Ray’s career has grown rapidly in recent years. After joining Junk’s Lions Eat Goats tour in 2022, he went on to complete three self-headlined Western Canadian tours and continues to perform, present workshops, and deliver motivational talks across the country.

His accolades include a 2021 SaskMusic Award nomination for Hip Hop Artist of the Year and a 2024 Saskatchewan Indigenous Music Award nomination for Fans’ Choice.

With powerful lyrics, high-energy performances, and a strong commitment to community, RaytheNihilist continues to be an artist to watch.


SUPPORT ACT: Tryg Strand
Tryg Strand & The Band are a high-energy roots-driven powerhouse from British Columbia's Columbia Valley, delieviery bold fusion of rock, blues, country and folk built for big stages and packed dance floors.

Fronted by the raw, soulful songwriting of Tryg Strand, the band blends gritty guitar riffs, hook laden melodies, and foot stomping rhythms into a sound that feels both timeless and unmistakably current. Their Live Shows are explosive and engaging; the kind the pull audiences in fast and keep them moving from the first note to the final encore!

Tryg's latest single Love and War, has continued to gain momentum across Canada, the United States, and the UK, drawing attention for its honest songwriting and roots-driven sound. The release has earned multiple reviews and radio support, helping introduce the track to new audiences while building momentum across international markets.
DJ Shallot

Fernie-based Dan Bruxer, better known as DJ Shallot, began his DJ journey four years ago. A self-proclaimed Fernie local, Dan is known for creating sets that blend laid-back ambient house, groovy dance tracks, and nostalgic remixes of classic pop songs with modern energy. The name “Shallot” is inspired by the vegetable and reflects Dan’s creativity. A shallot may seem simple, but it is layered, adds depth, balance, and character to every dish — qualities Dan aims to bring to his music through layered sounds, familiar melodies, and energetic, feel-good sets.
