Wil

Wil

Wil is and will remain, the consummate touring musician, developing his expansive roots-rock sound and world-weary lyricism while building a dedicated following for his famously intense live shows. Wil has always preferred to play live either solo or with "just a drummer". He says that freedom allows him to immerse himself onstage utterly and completely. One such performance was written up by the Calgary Sun as having so much "power and soul it could stop your heart."

Adrian Glynn

Adrian Glynn

When Adrian Glynn stands alone at the microphone, there is a pause; something changes in the air. And then the whole room leans in to listen.

Glynn left behind a budding career as a character actor embodying pimps and junkies to emerge as a gifted singer-songwriter. The Vancouver-based musician composes on acoustic and lap-slide guitars, as well as a balalaika, a Ukrainian folk instrument passed down through a century of his ancestry. A storyteller in his own right, Glynn has the ability to hypnotize listeners with tales of sinners, lovers, and redemption-seekers. In concert, he is a captivating and passionate performer, often using only his voice to carry the weight of his words. “[Glynn has] a haunting voice that needs no help in commanding your attention...the power exuding from his stage presence is something that needs to be witnessed for it to be understood” (Music Makes Worlds).

Lost in the Woods

Lost in the Woods - Folk/ Acoustic/Roots

To write a biography is to think back to the past and try to reconstruct events, feelings and emotions in an attempt to paint a picture of the present.   Duo #2’s biography can really only be found in the strangely addictive melodies, chords and words that culminate into their songs.  An unbridled passion for music can be heard in each track throughout their debut release “The Longest Road” and the energy felt during live performance only fuels the fire within the guitar/banjo duo.   The idea to play percussion simultaneously is said to have stemmed from a joke which surfaced during many a jam sessions, they tried it once and never looked back.   Now, the two twenty-something boys are on a mission to bring their nostalgic yet eccentric fusion of genres to as many audiences as is humanly possible.  Show after show listeners of all sorts; from heavy metal fans, to rock and rollers, to bluegrass enthusiasts, the duo seems to be recruiting fans without prejudice.  “We’re fans of all sorts of music”, says the group, “music is the only thing we believe in, it’s all we ever want to do and we hope to be able to do nothing but”.  For now, their journey continues and if you want to know anything more about the band just listen to the music, it will tell you a tell a story which written words will never match.
