Shred Kelly is a formulation of friends and footstompin good times born
in the East Kootenays of Fernie BC. The band began as a trio of Tim
Newton, Ian-Page Shiner and Steve Polit. This trio grew to a 6 piece
band in the summer of 2009 and has quickly grown into a group of artists
who are ready to take on Canada.
Having been selected to play at the 2010 Olympics at the Plaza of
Nations Stage in downtown Vancouver, it was just the beginning for Shred
Kelly.
Shred Kelly has a unique sound as each band member has a unique
taste in music. They definitely have influences from bluegrass, folk,
blues, punk, experimental, rock and alternative. All of these different
influences give Shred Kelly a unique flavor in each of their songs, and
allows opportunities for each member to showcase their abilities and
their musical inspirations.
They are really an amazing show to watch, such high energy, new
sound and a performance that will leave you footstompin all the way
home.
Loon Choir http://www.loonchoir.com/
From Canada’s parliamentary hub and capital city comes Loon Choir, an urgent pulse of fresh sonic air orchestrating textured guitar, synth, and violin hooks backed by a sometimes groovy, sometimes four to the floor backline, laying the foundation for powerfully delivered choral-esque male and female vocals, singing about social and political injustices alongside the manmade destruction of nature. It’s a big order to fill and these musicians deliver with an acclaimed live set that is packed full of energy, spontaneity, sincerity, and above all, good times spent with your comrades old and new, listening to good music.
Loon Choir has made its presence felt even across the ocean, with 2011 single “Bricks” being released in the UK on an international compilation with only two Canadian bands. The band has been raising its profile nationwide too, especially following the release of their 2nd full-length album “Fire Poems” with the producing/engineering genius of James Bunton in May 2012. Hit songs “All Boats Don’t Rise” and “Nowhere to Go” have been among CBC favourites, with the former hitting #2 on the R3-30. The band was also shortlisted for an R3 Bucky Award for “rookie of the year” in 2012.
All the recorded music aside, the live Loon Choir experience is what makes the ultimate difference. The energy oozing out of the catchy synth and guitar riffs, the transcendent harmony of male and female vocals and the loud and groovy beats are sure to get any crowd going. The loons’ history of playing significant events such as Pop Montreal, NXNE, JUNOfest and Ottawa Bluesfest, as well as touring all over Ontario and as far east as Sidney, NB and everything in between is a testimony to their guarantee to deliver spectacular outbursts of energy to all their performances. The good news is that they are planning on taking that energy on a full West Coast tour this summer, joined in most shows by BC’s Shred Kelly. Make sure to catch them somewhere along the road!
Loon Choir is: Derek Atkinson (vocals, guitar), Nicole Yates (vocals, piano), Dan Larmour (guitar, vocals), Kathleen Cauley (violin, vocals), Brad Sheffield (synth), Jamie LeClair (synth, computer), Craig Barlow (bass) and Baris Bilgen (drums).
