Moonfruits Live at Happy Taproom

9-12pm | Entry is free

Moonfruits—led by Ottawa-based partners Alex Millaire and Kaitlin Milroy—craft contemporary folk, organically alternating between French and English, that addresses our collective humanity with heart, wit, and wonder.

This Stingray Rising Star, SOCAN, and Trille Or award-winning group has toured their transportive live show across Canada, the US, France, Belgium, and Germany.

Moonfruits’ lushly orchestrated sophomore album, Salt (2022), is a 12-song suite that explores what it means to the band to live, dream, and raise a child in an era of climate change and deepening inequality. It tells the stories of their families and the kinds of communities they hope to help build.

“... a tremendous live act. They bring an emotional passion and authenticity that truly makes their show come alive ... they absolutely brought the house down.” Jan Hall, Folk Roots Radio

“... the future of roots music is in good hands.” — Heather Kitching, Roots Music Canada
