Matt Storm (Vancouver) // mattstorm.ca

Matt Storm is a singer-songwriter from Vancouver B.C. As a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Matt produces and records all his own work at East Vancouver’s Orchid Studios. When he’s not creating his own tunes, he is hard at work helping other local artists realize their sonic vision as Orchid Studios house engineer. 

His sound can be described as a indie soul, playing on classic references such as Bill Withers and Donny Hathaway, intertwined with new sounds like Emily King, Nick Hakim and Ray LaMontagne. Drawing on life experience and introspection, his songwriting searches for meaning through melancholy, and hopes to define love through vulnerability.

 

Ivan Hartle (Vancouver) www.youtube.com/channel/

Ivan Hartle was born and raised in Vancouver B.C. His influences and style have been shaped by an upbringing surrounded by music as well as his time playing college baseball in the southern United States. His music elicits vintage vibes and floats between the blues, soul, and folk genres. Characterized by his strong vocals, Ivan’s talents are also present in his guitar playing and percussion accompaniment. Ivan has been establishing his presence in the Vancouver music scene with gigs at many venues around the city (The Railway, The Belmont, The Anza Club, Cafe Deux Soleils, Queen Elizabeth Theatre Plaza, Mahoney and Sons, among others). He was selected to perform at the Anza Live community showcase event in late 2017, the Vancity Feature/Vancity Studio artist showcase event in September of 2018, and Live Acts Canada Best in Vancouver Competition in the fall of 2018.
