Madison Violet is a Canadian Juno-nominated female musical duo, consisting of Lisa MacIsaac and Brenley MacEachern.

The pair, who both have roots in rural Cape Breton, came together musically in the late 1990s, over many evenings in Brenley’s grandmother’s kitchen, which was always bursting with food, family, friends, and instruments.

Influenced by their maritime heritage, the East Coast musicians began creating music together that had roots firmly planted in their past, but with contemporary and modern elements generously overlaid. Categorizing Madison Violet’s music is an impossible task, in that one can hear elements of folk, singer-songwriter, pop, indie, bluegrass, and country flawlessly interwoven throughout.

MacIsaac and MacEachern are exceptional storytellers, skilled multi-instrumentalists, and together, perfect harmonists. Their voices soar, perfectly complimenting each other, as they sing lyrics that will both mend and break your heart.

Opening Act

Ellen Braun

Ellen Braun is a solo artist and also one half of the music duo Trundled (with Joseph Shea). Trundled’s album, High Water (2020), produced by Daniel Ledwell, charted on radio stations across Canada, and was nominated for a 2021 YYC Music Award. Ellen has played at Nashville’s renowned Blue Bird Cafe (2022), written and performed a one woman musical – “Each and Every Song” (2023), composed music for film and for Canmore Summer Theatre’s production of “Romeo and Juliet”, and regularly leads workshops for budding and established songwriters.

Kicking off her 2025 Doldrums album tour in Canmore, Ellen recognizes the Bow Valley as the place where her songwriting began two decades ago, the place where she reignited her passion for songwriting, and the place where she currently raises the three wonderful kiddos she brought into this complicated world (who also happen to be the biggest supporters of Ellen’s art – even when they don’t love every song!).

The continued support of Ellen’s growing fanbase – who generously Kickstarted Doldrums – as well as a well-earned grant from the Canada Council for the Arts are testament to Ellen’s reach and artistic merit.
