in WHISTLER BC. More details on the event are below.
C.I.A. Concerts welcomes back Hey Ocean to Whistler with a brand new album! The beautiful melodies and clever lyrics of singers Ashleigh Ball and David Beckingham have been described as both poetic and thought provoking, however it is apparent that these two play off each other effortlessly. The duo - who have had a long-standing musical relationship - are joined by the wildly energetic David Vertesi on bass and the groove-obsessed Daniel Klenner on drums. Together, they have created a musical repertoire that cannot be ignored – be it on radio, television or your neighbor’s iPod, Hey Ocean will soon be everywhere.
Following the release of their first full-length album, Stop Looking Like Music (2006), the band has quickly become one of Western Canada’s most popular touring bands. With an impressive online presence and an ever-growing fan base, the foursome has been garnering popular and critical attention at an astonishing rate. Having shared the stage with the likes of Bedouin Soundclash, Xavier Rudd, Sarah Harmer and Wintersleep, their onstage charisma and playful demeanor continue to capture the hearts of listeners – both young and old.
Passionate voices, pensive words and contagious fun keep this music honest and pure; from the heart and for the soul.
When asked what fans can expect from their sophomore release – which is set for a spring release - the band candidly replies “a bunch of songs that sound nothing alike. However, they will be unmistakably Hey Ocean”.
Continuously leaving fans in awe, Hey Ocean combines sheer talent, charismatic songs, and an undeniably energetic live show, making them a "must see" band for 2008.
