Noah Malcolm and Leah Holtom with Friday's Child at The Proudest Pony

Noah Malcolm is a queer singer-songwriter, musical director and multi-instrumentalist from PEI. Signed to CYMBA Publishing, his top-notch songwriting delivers 'melodic mastery' (The East Mag), and is served up with a witty stage presence and ear-catching vocals. With a playful yet poignant poetic spirit, it's easy to understand how he's acquired four Music PEI Awards, a 2025 East Coast Music Award, and three other ECMA nominations. Over 2025, Noah has continued to perform across Canada, making his Vancouver debut in JUNOfest, and releasing singles 'Goin' Thru It' and 'This Kind of Love', the latter used in the Hallmark film 'Kiki's Fourth Ingredient'.

Folk singer/songwriter Leah Holtom grew up in Brampton, Ontario, and now thrives in Toronto's vibrant music scene. Blending the best of folk and country, Leah shares a fresh expression of storytelling with a unique take on traditional instrumentation. Her tender yet soaring vocals, paired with acoustic guitars and pedal steel, captivate audiences on a heartfelt journey. In 2024, Leah was awarded the Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award from the Ontario Arts Council for her debut single, "Face The Day." Her rich sound and endearing voice are further showcased on her debut EP, "Patchwork."

Friday's Child is the musical offspring of Krista Van Slingerland and Evan Massey, formerly spouses whose love of making music together endured the demise of their romantic relationship. "Music brought us together, and it’s what keeps us connected," they explained. "Even as we navigate a separation and divorce, we’ve chosen to continue creating together because our musical partnership is something we deeply value."
