JON & ROY BIO
It’s easy to fall for the effortless, everyman charm of Jon Middleton and Roy Vizer. Seasoned musicians and long time friends, their brand of indie-folk is pretty much a genre in itself; evoking fog-shrouded mountains and evergreen treetops, sun-dappled beaches and the crackle of a campfire. With over 30 million streams worldwide, it’s clear many others have been captivated by Jon and Roy and the stories they tell.
In recent tours, the inclusion of a horn section have lifted these performances to even greater heights; it’s not uncommon to see packed venues united together in rousing, joy-filled refrains.
These west coast troubadours are no stranger to big crowds and life on the road. They've toured with Xavier Rudd, the Cat Empire, Trevor Hall, and Toots and the Maytals, and have played festivals across Canada (Edmonton Folk Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival. Ottawa Bluesfest)), the USA (BottleRock, CA, Levitate Music Festival, MA) Europe (Bulli Summer Festival, Germany, Sziget Festival, Hungary, Rock Les Bains, France) and the UK (Boardmasters). The band shines in front of a live audience, but it's not the only avenue in which Jon and Roy have garnered new fans. Canny song placements in TV shows on HBO, NBC, MTV and OLN, combined with long running in TV ad campaigns for Lululemon, Volkswagen and Scotiabank, have further cemented their reputation.
"To me they sound just like the west coast feels. They remind me of summer afternoons, a sea-side evening and driving back roads with the windows down. Soft drums but sharp lyrics." - Stuart McLean (CBC's Vinyl Cafe
