The Bunker Performance Lounge & Cafe Saturday Night Live An evening of original music: folk, rock & pop
Saturday, May 23 · Doors 7 PM · Show 8 PM · Pay What You Can ($20 Suggested)
Join us for a Saturday night of live original music featuring two acts with a lot of heart. From seasoned road-tested folk rock to fresh-voiced pop/folk songwriting, this is a night for music lovers who appreciate real artists telling real stories.
The Lineup
Kaleb Hikele Canadian Singer-Songwriter · Folk Rock
A prolific recording artist with over two decades of output, Kaleb Hikele brings a wealth of experience to the stage. Best known for his work as The Sun Harmonic, recognized by Canada's Walk of Fame, Record Store Day, and Canadian Musician Magazine, and winner of the FCLMA 2024 Ontario Independent Recording Artist award. He played 73 dates across Ontario in 2024, opening for artists including Devan (Wild Rivers), Julian Taylor, and Royal Wood.
His music has been featured on Netflix, SiriusXM, CBC Radio, and Stingray Music, reaching radio stations and streaming services around the world. He arrives fresh off his 12th indie studio album, My Mind Is Like a Radio, with a new solo album on the horizon: Storytelling, recorded entirely by Kaleb himself at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton. His debut single from that album, Slowly, is out now.
"Slowly is the debut song from a studio album that is near and dear to my heart. It is my whole heart in many ways; the songs I chose for my Storytelling album all share intimate stories about myself but mostly other important people in my life." — Kaleb Hikele
Nora Joy Singer-Songwriter · Pop / Folk · Stratford, ON
At 16, Nora Joy has already been writing songs for five years, and it shows. Her pop/folk sound draws comparisons to First Aid Kit, Gracie Abrams, and Lizzie McAlpine, and her performances have taken her from coffee shops to folk festivals. Audiences consistently connect with her meaningful lyrics and warm stage presence. A genuinely exciting young voice in the Canadian folk scene.
