Ingrid, Bob, and Susan, each with roots in Scarborough and the Beaches, brought their life stories into their music. Their songs, rich with personal narratives of resilience and wanderlust, echo the diversity of their experiences. As they play across local venues, their sound becomes a harmonious link between the serene Lake Ontario and the vibrant city life. Scarborough Fair is more than a band; it’s a celebration of music and a testament to the unifying power of shared passions.

Creator, hand drummer, and lead vocalist, Aqua, writes songs inspired by their life experience as an Anishinaabe 2Spirit overcoming intergenerational trauma, homelessness, addictions, mental health, and violence. Accompanied by talented Queer guitarist Valentina Morelli and fancy shawl dancer Nichole Levek who illuminates the poetry within the songs, this trio weaves the soothing sounds of strings and unforgettable harmonies into the universal language of love. Their music is rooted in Indigenous stories of resilience. Bringing together multiple traditions that span many generations. Website: https://aquamusic.ca |
