LONG:
It took Christopher Arruda, Cory Woodward and Ryan McMahon over thirty years to find each other, but only one month to realize they were meant to join their voices as one.
In May of 2012, the three men set out on tour to promote their respective solo efforts. While Woodward was gearing up to release a full length, Arruda and McMahon were making the trek to keep traction with the audiences they’d built in Western Canada during the previous years. Over wine, campfires, nights in cheap hotel rooms and woodland cabins an unshakeable bond began to form. They shared stories of their lives, successes and failures in the music industry, and ultimately their dreams of what they hope to accomplish as artists. Three big voices began to support each other during shows and at the tours conclusion, they had a set list worth of material. Something that had come together so naturally; so organically, simply had to be re-visited.
Now, a year later, what began as separate, solo tours has evolved into a full time project for the lion the bear the fox. By uniting three distinct, equally powerful voices and songwriting approaches, Arruda (the lion), Woodward (the bear) & McMahon (the fox) have stumbled onto a magic much greater than the sum of it’s parts. Stripping their music down and focusing on three voices uniting in harmony, they have succeeded in creating gripping, dynamic songs while capturing a sincerity rarely heard this side of the 2000′s.
With over three decades combined experience, the trio is currently immersed in tracking for their debut record. 2013 will be the year ‘the lion the bear the fox’ bring their heartfelt songs and larger than life sound to the rugged Canadian terrain that inspired them.
