A rising Canadian star, Jules is a 15-year-old with a bright future. This indie pop artist belongs with the best of them. Her music is fun, catchy, and makes the best pretend life-movie soundtrack ever. (Don’t pretend you don’t do it.) Having an after-school career seems stressful, but you’d never know from Jules’ stunning songs. Who […]

The West Coast-touring indie duo Bearcoon has a sound that makes you feel like you’re always sitting around a late-night beach bonfire with the most important people in your life.
