Band, CA
Rock, Folk and World
Big Tall Garden is a power trio from North Vancouver, BC, Canada that make tight, punchy, melodious riff rock. Bombastic like The Who, with the pomp and pageantry of Queen, they lay down grooves as deep in the pocket as the Meters yet a have fresh quirkiness reminiscent of Vampire Weekend. Inspired by their surroundings in a city with majestic rain forests and snow capped mountains they have developed a sound that is distinctly West Coast. “They don’t sound like any of the groups that are beginning to define the Canadian scene” – (The Georgia Straight). Known for their powerful and spontaneous live show, the band have honed their craft with over twenty years of memorable gigs, tours and festivals winning over a huge underground following. BTG members – Duane Murrin (guitar/lead vocals), Jon Frederiksen (bass/vocals) and Hamish Thomson (drums/vocals) have a special intrinsic connection that has stood the test of time allowing the band to truly push the boundaries of their musical landscapes with raw unfiltered emotion. They have shared the stage with such greats as indie rock pioneer Mike Watt and Firehose, California psych-pop heroes the Mother Hips and BC’s own Wassabi Collective.
