Serena is our subheadliner, a very exciting artist who will be an important part of the Saturday night show.

Serena Ryder is a Canadian singer/songwriter and guitarist who grew up in Millbrook, Ontario, Canada. Her best-known albums include Unlikely Emergency and If Your Memory Serves You Well.

Ranging musically between folk, roots, country, and adult contemporary, Ryder’s three-octave range is powerful and well beyond her years. She studied in the integrated arts program at Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Peterborough, and performed solo as well as with many of Peterborough’s bands as a teenager.
