TESS ANDERSON & DREW STOREY

$20
Energetic modern rock, pop, and alternative!
Tess‘ Bio:
“Throw away all the expectations and just make music that feels good.”
That’s the sentiment Vancouver-based Tess Anderson has chosen to live by recently, and it’s become evident in her recent body of work. Allowing vulnerability and authenticity to be at the forefront of everything she does, Tess captivates audiences with her moxie-filled performances. Trying on many different genres over the years, nothing felt quite right – until now. Combining the heavy grit of alternative rock with the familiar gloss of pop, she finally stepped into her power fronting an impressively versatile 6-piece band. Tess’s highly anticipated debut full-length album, “Before I Come Unhinged”, released on May 17, 2024, has already made waves, surpassing 100,000 streams within just four months. Receiving international press coverage, including mentions in Billboard Music Canada and Exclaim!, as well as having regular rotation nationally on CBC Music, she is well positioned to continue attracting listeners across the country. Performing over 75 live shows annually, including having opened for Mother Mother at a sold-out Commodore Ballroom show, Tess continues to make a name for herself in the Vancouver music scene.
Drew’s Bio:
Drew Storey is a singer-songwriter and band leader from Langley, BC, with a unique blend of introspective lyricism, pop hooks, and rock energy. Writing and performing as a solo artist since 2015, Drew’s music captures the essence of personal reflection while delivering infectious energy and enthusiasm to further connect with his audience. His performances have been referred to as Rex Orange County meets Bruce Springsteen, blending thoughtful lyrics with creative, high-energy showmanship and nostalgic sounds. Drew’s honesty and ear for melodies lead to him delivering one-of-a-kind memorable live acts and have made him an artist to watch in the indie scene. Since 2022, Drew has been leading his own band, further amplifying his sound and refining his live performances. To Drew, connection is the main goal, and he believes the only way that can happen is with complete musical and lyrical honesty.
