Stingray Rising Star, SOCAN, and Trille Or award-winning group MOONFRUITS has toured their transportive live show across Canada, the US and Europe. Additionally, the group was nominated in 2024 for Canadian Folk Music Awards Emerging Act & Producers of the Year.

MOONFRUITS crafts contemporary folk that addresses our collective humanity with heart, wit, and wonder. Led by partners Alex Millaire and Kaitlin Milroy, Moonfruits pen songs in both French and English, a reflection of their bilingual lived experience in their hometown of Ottawa. Theirs is the music of open-minded dreamers and diligent doers, confronting dehumanizing capitalism and environmental catastrophe with a rousing message of solidarity. The future of roots music is in good hands Heather Kitching, Roots Music Canada.

Live, expect a dynamic performance with warm, welcoming harmonies ranging from raucous to whisper quiet, innovative arrangements with bowed guitar and banjo, a little knob-tweaking and a hefty dose of family-fueled storytelling. Singing in English and French, Moonfruits love to open their audiences ears and hearts to sounds unfamiliar and adore a good singalong. a tremendous live act ... they absolutely brought the house down Jan Hall, Folk Roots Radio
