Onna Lou and Keri Latimer bring together two powerful voices in contemporary folk and roots music for an intimate Home Routes experience at Brubacher House. 

V. POULSENS KAPEL grew out of a deep immersion in traditional Danish music, learned firsthand from mentors, friends, and local tradition bearers. Their repertoire traces a clear lineage to the music of Ewald Thomsen and the many musicians who shaped the brothers’ musical upbringing, passing tunes hand to hand and ear to ear. Through extended stays in Canada, they also developed a lasting love for traditional Canadian music, forming close friendships with leading musicians from Quebec and Cape Breton. These exchanges allowed the music to take root, evolve, and continue living in Denmark—exactly as traditional music is meant to do.

SHAWNA CASPI is a folk-roots singer-songwriter who can make a room full of people feel like they’re hanging out with an old friend in a plush corner booth. She takes her time crafting lyrics that are poetic and meaningful, often using unusual rhymes and surprising turns of phrase. Shawna spent years on the road, playing festivals and concert halls, train cars, backyards, and living rooms, supporting her warm voice with intricate fingerstyle guitar accompaniment, and drawing energy from shifting landscapes and long drives through Canada and the United States. Her songs resonate with stories that are relatable, but told in new and unexpected ways. This is music that makes an authentic human connection, that conveys a sense of closeness, of being understood, of feeling less alone. Her latest album, Hurricane Coming, was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award and
an Ontario Folk Music Award. Shawna is currently working on her next album, slated for release in 2027.
