The Lindsay Heath Orchestra, King Niko and Cory Mon and the Starlight Gospel!%uFFFD
All three acts managed to combine an active online push for votes with drawing a crowd to their respective showcases, and the effort paid off. They will all perform this Saturday at The Complex's Vertigo Room, along with DJ Flash n Flare, the winner of this year's CWMA DJ Spinoff. (Speaking of the DJ Spinoff, if you want to hear Flash n Flare's winning set, you can check it out right here.
