It's the next leg of Andrew Irving's Hometown Heroes tour in honour of local first responders!
Underpaid, under appreciated, and underfunded first responders are true selfless heroes who commit themselves to serve their communities. Andrew Irving has launched a tour and song called, Hometown Heroes to encourage and uplift them to keep fighting. He's teaming up with major artists, venues, and restaurants to rally behind these incredible heroes and if only for one day truly honour, love, and show gratitude to these tireless workers.
Andrew is delighted to be playing the BVP with Ken Tizzard and Music For Goats! Formed in 2016, Music for Goats consists of Ken Tizzard on guitar and vocals, alongside talented Canadian musicians; Ken Grain (Bass), and Neil Lucy (guitar).
Their sound is a mix of country, rock and folk, with lyrics that are often introspective and deeply personal. With the recent passing of their former drummer Steve Dagg, the band has decided to release a series of singles under the title “THE DAGG SESSIONS” which will include all the drum tracks recorded with Steve before his passing in March of 2023. The first single, Drunk Stoned and Broke, (May 6th, 2023) is a catchy and upbeat track that tells the story of a wild night with friends and enemies and the well-known consequences. The song features Tizzard's signature Gretsch sound and powerful vocals, along with a driving drum beat and infectious guitar riffs. The following songs that were released included Pain Free Living (I Like To Get High), and A Dollar a Day.
Ken Tizzard is a Canadian singer-songwriter, bassist and producer, known for his work as a member of the popular Canadian bands The Watchmen, Thornley and Ron Hynes. In 2003 Ken went into semi-retirement from the rock and roll world to continue to work in the music industry as a solo artist and producer. He has released several albums, including Lost In Awe and No Dark No Light, which showcase his talent as a songwriter and musician.
Come on out to support a great cause and jam out to an incredible evening of live music!
