(Apologies for the single mass event. But this has to be better than 20 separate event invitations. Right??)
Big Acoustic Love. This is the best description of Brent Tyler’s music and live performance. An aggressive acoustic style combined with lungs befit of his seven foot stature. Brent Tyler balances the soft subltely of honest and introspective folk music with catchy and powerful pop hooks and melodies born of his childhood influences and contemporary crushes. Honesty and Love. Sarcasm and Humour. Heartbreak and Forgiveness.
After releasing his 2nd Album ‘In Rhythm’ in the summer of 2010, Brent Tyler has spent the last year adding highway kilometres and industry experience to his already accomplished resume. Highlights include opening slots for Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Watchmen, Julian Austin, & Joel Plaskett. Recently, Brent has been fortunate to share stages with other accomplished artists such as Wil, CR Avery, Ari Neufeld, & The Polyjesters.
Calvin Locke plays a soulful blend of acoustic and electric blues rock and pop. With a wide array of influences ranging from John Mayer to the Black Keys, his songs detail love in all of its forms. His unique guitar stylings make the music both infectious and compelling and always deliver a soulful groove.
In the past year Calvin toured across Canada to promote his debut EP “Yukon to St. John’s”. The tour lasted for 100 days and 17,000km and saw Calvin travel from Calgary to Whitehorse to Vancouver Island and then all the way to St. John’s. Calvin delivered a unique show playing right out of his Van in every city along the way. The tour was a unique way to have his music heard and also to raise money and awareness for The Will To Survive, an organization which supports the fight against Childhood Cancer. Calvin’s history includes opening for artists such as Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, Calm Asa Coma, Brent Tyler, Danny Vacon, and has also previously shared the stage with John Wort Hannam and David Wilcox.
