Sun, Sep 27th , 2:30-4:30pm, Concert - Greg DrummondBand “Drive” Tour – Folk-Rock
Drummond is known for his deep, distinguishable voice and style of songwriting that combines fun, infectious melodies with stories of a slightly darker tone. He tackles a wide variety of subjects including sleepless nights, drinking alone, finding redemption in love, soul searching and pushing forward in the face of ongoing challenges. On his new album, Greg has beautifully accompanied these themes through the tones of old hollow body guitars, gorgeous group harmonies, rolling train beat percussion and a section of horn players that elevates the entire album. The collection of songs on ‘Drive’ is guaranteed to inspire self-reflection and contemplation of some of life’s wonder, mystery and despair.

BIO
Greg Drummond's new sophomore album ‘Drive’ is a stunning indie folk-rock record that establishes
Drummond’s evolution as a Canadian songwriter. He has spent the past four years writing, producing and
engineering this album in multiple locations including professional studios like Echoplant Sound and Monarch
Studios as well as his bedroom closet, parents garage and family cabin.
“Greg has an easy and effortless way with a melody and a hook. He’s a natural troubadour, and his songs
will get inside your head and have you humming long after you hear them.”
Paolo Pietropaolo, CBC
Drummond is known for his deep, distinguishable voice and style of songwriting that combines fun, infectious
melodies with stories of a slightly darker tone. He tackles a wide variety of subjects including sleepless nights,
drinking alone, finding redemption in love, soul searching and pushing forward in the face of ongoing
challenges. On his new album, Greg has beautifully accompanied these themes through the tones of old
hollow body guitars, gorgeous group harmonies, rolling train beat percussion and a section of horn players
that elevates the entire album. The collection of songs on ‘Drive’ is guaranteed to inspire self-reflection and
contemplation of some of life’s wonder, mystery and despair.
“I hope they can relate to something; to one song or just one moment on the album. If they
could listen to it the whole way through and take something away from it, that would make me
happy. I hope they feel inspired or enlivened because of it.”
Greg Drummond
Born and raised in Port Moody, BC, Greg has drawn a lot of inspiration from moments on the road and the
beauty of local parks like Rocky Point and Buntzen Lake.
“I really think that nature inspires a lot of creativity. I don't think as humans we spend enough time
in it or feel grounded in our lives enough to really embrace it and travel and enjoy it. Anxiety and
these other things catch up with us, you know. I feel like nature draws us to be closer together
versus being spread out.”
Greg Drummond
After releasing his first album in 2011, Greg Drummond has gained recognition throughout Canada and
received continued support from the local community in Vancouver including: CBC Searchlight Top 10, Factor
Canada, Peak Performance Project Top 20 and the Shore 104.3FM Best of BC award.
The band he has built around him is made up of professionally trained musicians with degrees in music
theory—these four core members of the group are incredibly important to Greg’s on-going story as a
professional musician. The knowledge they have of their instruments provides additional insight to Greg’s
songwriting and lends to creating a full-bodied and deeply comprehensive soundscape. Greg hopes that his
listeners can find something they relate to in his story and that they will feel understood by his new songs.
“I hope they can relate to something; to one song or just one moment on the album. If they
could listen to it the whole way through and take something away from it, that would make me
happy. I hope they feel inspired or enlivened because of it.”
Greg Drummond
Drummond says his music is geared towards uplifting people and connecting them together through his live
performance. Recently, Drummond has committed his time to local and international causes including the
United Way, C.E.F.'s Clean Water Project and Haiti relief. In 2013, Drummond was commissioned to write and
perform the official song for the 'Ugly Christmas Sweater Party,' an annual sold-out event that contributes all of
its proceeds to the Children's Wish Foundation.
