The Honeyrunners
The Honeyrunners are a Northern take on Southern Soul – hot-blooded and rife with the poetry of human folly. The energy of this Toronto band is undeniable on stage and on record. They are back in studio recording a raw batch of songs guaranteed to break a few hearts in Fall of '25.
The band’s prior body of work aimed at disrobing a global culture of apathy – a sentiment that everything is always on fire with nothing to do but watch. “Let it burn. It’s the ashes that I admire.” A taunt from the title track of The Honeyrunners' debut album, Everything Is On Fire, released on Canadian roots label Gypsy Soul Records and distributed by Warner Music, with a fire that sparked airplay on 150+ radio stations across Canada, US, UK, Germany, Netherlands, and beyond.
They are fronted by Ottawa-born songwriter Dan Dwoskin (keys, lead vocals) and Canadian-Peruvian engineer / producer, Guillermo Subauste (bass, vocals). The Honeyrunners have been lucky to share a decade's worth of stages with friends and mentors including The Sadies, Bahamas, Joel Plaskett, Jim Cuddy, Fred Penner, The Trews, The Beaches, King Khan, Five Alarm Funk, My Son The Hurricane, Skye Wallace, Samantha Martin, Philip Sayce, and many more over the years.
Danté Ravenhearst
Danté Ravenhearst is a musician, writer, and scientist, originally hailing from the Kawartha Lakes and currently residing in Toronto, Canada. On every dimension, Ravenhearst's music is a meeting space of old and new, paying homage to traditional folk and country with swells of pedal steel and acoustic guitar, while branching into gothic alternative folk instrumentation using shimmering percussion, organ, echoing electric guitar, and a vulnerably raw vocal performance.
Devoted to exploring the taboos of grief and loss in her lyrics, Ravenhearst's marriage of diverse instrumentation to poetry is a cohesive exploration of unconventional Americana.In June 2025, Ravenhearst returns with her new single, “Unsaid”, delving deeper into the country elements of gothic Americana and folk explored in her 2024 debut EP, “Half Sun / Half Moon” (featured on CBC radio, Canadian Beats, Spill Magazine, Crooked Forest and playlists from Exclaim! and Music Mecca).
