Old Man Canyon | fr

Hailing from Vancouver BC, Canada, Old Man Canyon is a band that originated from the effort of front man Jett Pace, who managed to update folk and indie-pop influences (think Iron and Wine, Mumford and Sons) to the electric format, not unlike the work of seminal folk-rock pioneers, including the legendary Neil Young and what he created with his Crazy Horse project. .

Ladies of the Canyon are four friends who got together in their living rooms to write and sing songs influenced by their favourite bands – The Eagles, the Band and Fleetwood Mac. Musicians and songwriters Maia Davies (vocals, guitars, mandolin, keyboards), Senja Sargeant (vocals, guitars, mandolin), Jasmine Bleile (vocals, guitars) and Anna Ruddick (electric and upright bass, vocals) have their distinct tone and personality, but when they come together for harmonies, it’s a gorgeous, soaring blend.

Ex-Greenhouse Effect singer/guitarist Eric “Lando” Hagen formed White Witch Canyon in ’07 and released their self-titled debut in ’08. From the way the stun-guitar of “The Witch” kicks in, it doesn't leave much doubt that White Witch Canyon are anything but unexpurgated Stoner Rock. There’s no “Post” anything here – it’s overloaded low-end, pedal-powered distortion in both riff and solo and Lando waxing prolific on getting high with witches, androids and broke-down starships. It’s no-think heavy rock n’ roll that doesn’t pretend to be anything else. .
