JARYN FRIESEN & BOBBY DOVE
As a class, musicians are known as foulmouthed, irreverent, drunken creatures. Someone didn’t give Jaryn that memo.
Friesen, born and raised in Steinbach, MB, is only 28 but his music packs the richness of a writer decades his senior.
Friesen’s sound is raw and honest, which makes the tunes feel like talking with an old friend. His grovel-y voice with just the right amount of drawl sings of yearning for some place, some time elsewhere and hits familiar tones and themes which make it feel like coming home. It’s Americana with small town angst.
Bobby Dove is a Canadian singer-songwriter who is quickly becoming a magnetic presence in the world of Country and Americana music. With a voice as powerful as their storytelling, Dove pays tribute to the golden age of Country, while crafting original, emotionally charged songs that are fresh off the heartworn highway.
Bobby’s internationally acclaimed sophomore album, Hopeless Romantic (2021) includes some of the finest musicians on the Canadian roots music scene, including Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy, Bazil Donovan and Jimmy Bowskill.
