In The Spotlight

Shane Pendergast – “Jack Pine”

Hailing from Prince Edward Island, this Canadian singer-songwriter was born into a very musical household. His father Mike Pendergast is a musician and storyteller and that talent goes back through the various generations. He learned to play entirely by ear from an early age. He’s played festivals like Summerfolk and Celtic Colours, and venues such as Trailside Music Hall and The Water Rats. Inspired by Gordon Lightfoot, John Prine and Stan Rogers, he released his debut “Gaspésie” in 2020.

Referencing the jack pine tree, which is known to survive in poor soil and harsh climates, his new single is about resilience, strength and the ability to weather any emotional storm without breaking. Taken from his upcoming, same-titled album, expected on October 23rd, his warm lyrics are enveloped by a welcoming folk-rock melody. Recorded live, it’s the upbeat percussion, the lively traditional fiddle and his honest, familiar vocals that give this slick, authentic tune a breezy autumn feel.

In The Spotlight

Dani Marchio – “Blush”

Based in Sydney, this Australian singer-songwriter’s fascination with singing and performing started when she was young, growing up in a musical-oriented environment. She began singing in church and at talent shows and open mic nights, honing her skills. It wouldn’t be until after high school that she explored songwriting properly. She’s played the ARIA Music Awards and The Hotel Cafe in L.A.. Inspired by Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, she debuted with “Daydreamer” in 2024.

Capturing the sheer excitement and slight trepidation of stepping out of your comfort zone and exploring the possibility that a friendship can turn into love, her new single embraces the friends-to-lovers rom-com vibe. Creating an ’80s-dipped sonic vibrancy, the song is an infectious, high-energy pop groove. With lively rhythms, a bouncy bass and bright guitars forging a nostalgia-filled melody, it’s her breezy, storytelling vocals that give this tune a joyous polish and make it sound irresistible.
