About the Performers
Vancouver’s piano man, Matthew Presidente (he/him/his) is a bold rock/pop songwriter. Whether performing solo or with his full band, his music’s honest queer perspective invokes nostalgia, small town memories and challenges you to reflect on an exciting journey of self discovery.

Referred to as “one of — if not ­— the best singer/songwriters our LGBT scene has” by Xtra Magazine (Vancouver), Matty has performed among headliners such as Ace of Base, Dragonette and even shared a stage with Patti Smith! He’s showcased his original material at notable music venues such as The Roxy, The Railway Club, The Backstage Lounge, XYYVR and Numbers Cabaret. An advocate for queer art, he has been enthusiastically recognized on the Vancouver Main Stages (for over 12 years!), across the country, and internationally. Most recently he toured the mountains of BC for Peak Pride spreading queer entertainment through the province.

He’s currently recording a new full band album with songs speaking of loss, life changes and ultimately evolution. You can hear the first single, ‘A-List’, now on all streaming platforms.

Hoélune Rośe
Hoélune Rośe is widely known to enchant audiences with her mesmerizing voice and sensational rhythms. Hoélune invites a certain wisdom and magic that draws audiences in every moment she’s caught on stage. Choose to be lucky and witness Hoélune bring her passion, laughter and joy out of her lyrics that reflect desire, introspection and love.

Karen Donna

When she’s not playing music, Karen is a technical writer, mental health advocate, and Star Wars nerd. Watch for her latest project “Karen and the Managers” coming to a live music venue near you.
