The Bow Valley Music Club presents Leeroy Stagger; Irish Mythen

 

Leeroy Stagger

Born and raised in British Columbia, Leeroy Stagger is an award-winning singer-songwriter and Producer. He first cut his teeth as a musician singing with punk rock bands in B.C., before making his mark on the Canadian independent music scene at the turn of this century, and then evolving into an Alberta-based singer-songwriter and producer with his own home-studio

Stagger, who demonstrates many similarities to another Canadian icon, the legendary Neil Young, has toured the world, both on his own and with the likes of Steve Earle, Pixies, Modest Mouse and Evan Dando. Among his achievements are winning 102.7 The Peak’s highly competitive Performance Project in 2015, working with legendary U.S. industry mogul Danny Goldberg, and having his songs appear in such television shows as Grey’s Anatomy and Sons Of Anarchy.

Now with years of experience to draw on, Leeroy Stagger pens songs dealing with life's challenges and questions that are literate but down to earth; thirteen albums to his credit attest to that.

Irish Mythen

Irish Mythen was born in Ireland and now resides in Charlottetown Prince Edward Island. "This Island creates music and musicians, art and artists. I found a shift to take things more seriously when I moved here." And she did just that.

Her latest release, Little Bones, gained her recognition around the globe, including a 2020 JUNO nomination for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year, seven Music PEI 2020 nominations and two wins — Touring Artist of the Year and Roots Contemporary Recording of the Year, and a Canadian Folk Music Nomination for Solo Artist of the Year.

Her previous self-titled album, Irish Mythen, garnered awards and nominations from Music PEI, East Coast Music Association, Folk Alliance International and SOCAN. Write-ups in Australian Guitar Magazine, Rollingstone and a plethora of other print and online media world wide have helped plant Irish firmly on the map of Must-See Artists.

Irish's live performances are a thing of raw power, emotion and a connection with her audience that just has to be seen to be believed.
