Summer Bennett, Hillary North, & Emma Bursey @ Theatre Hill

At just 18 years of age, Summer Bennett has won a MusicNL award for Indigenous Artist of the Year and a 2025 ECMA award for Dance Release of the Year. She has also won the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) in the Teen category and was named “Top Teen” in the 2024 National CBC Searchlight competition. She has recently attended “Prodigy Camp” in Washington State for songwriting with teens from around the world – a camp that was taught by Chappel Roan. Summer is signed with Scilly Cove Records and is working with multi-Grammy Award winning producer Greg Wells (Wicked, Katy Perry, Michael Buble, etc.). Her debut EP "One Thousand Fahrenheit" is now streaming everywhere.

Hillary North is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Red Head Cove, Newfoundland. A lifelong music lover, she began performing in elementary school and discovered her passion for songwriting at 16. Hillary is a guitarist, vocalist, and writer with the folk-rock trio AMITY (2023–present), where she works to shape the band’s warm, harmony-rich sound. Her music draws inspiration from modern folk artists like First Aid Kit, Phoebe Bridgers, and The Paper Kites, as well as classic storytellers such as The Tragically Hip and Bruce Springsteen. With a voice rooted in sincerity, Hillary continues to expand her creative reach within the Newfoundland music scene. Grounded with a deep love for what she does, she remains dedicated to creating a sound that feels genuine and resonant.

Emma Bursey is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, originally from the town of Old Perlican. She’s been on stages since she was five, singing country and gospel in the local venues that shaped her beginnings. Her sound has since grown into something built on rock grit and folk storytelling. That edge, power, and lyrical honesty comes straight from the artists who inspire her — Stevie Nicks, Ann Wilson, Feist, and other fearless women who write and perform with fire and intention. Emma is also one-third of the three-piece girl group AMITY, known for hypnotising three-part harmony, magnetic live performances, and impactful songwriting. Her powerhouse vocals round out the band’s sound, adding grit, fire, and emotional punch to every song.
