Octoberman (Canada)
With 3 successful albums under their belt, Octoberman will be coming to the UK as a slightly striped down 3 piece band, but they still promise to be every bit as good!
Mark Morrissette draws heavily from the tradition of the wandering bard as he shares observations concerning the people and customs he’s encountered in his travels. Over lightly strummed guitars, his decidedly melancholic vocals ably evoke the rigours of an overnight Vietnam train or interminable drive between Toronto and New York. Melding the sensibilities of Neil Young and Jack Kerouac.
“If you've never heard Marc Morrissette's delicious brand of wilted, lush pop music characterized by organic guitars and hauntingly surreal vocals, you don't know what you're missing. I simply couldn't tear myself away from this set.” – Chartattack.com
