Calvin Love the Canadian singer-songwriter whose music lingers in the shadows of nostalgia and noir. With a signature croon and a sound that merges psych-folk, cinematic longing, and romanticism, he has built a world that feels both vintage and strangely timeless. The press has described his music as “a crestfallen soundtrack of near-escape… like Chris Isaak trapped in a David Lynch film.”
An artist of prolific output and quiet intensity, Love has carved out a singular space within the realm of outsider music—a body of work shaped by introspection, lyrical depth, and restless vision. Influenced by a DIY ethos, the pulse of rock ’n’ roll, and the bruised glamour of 1980s balladeers, he has independently built a sonic world entirely his own.
Known for live shows that blur the line between concert and dream sequence, Love approaches each song like a method actor—dissolving the boundary between persona and performance with slow-burning precision and intimate delivery. Whether standing alone, hovering above a microphone and 12-string guitar, or leading a seven-piece ensemble, his performances carry a magnetic stillness: immersive, nuanced, and emotionally resonant. With a career spanning multiple albums and international tours, Calvin Love has spent over a decade quietly shaping one of the most distinct voices on the outer edges of the indie music world.

Emerging from the wreckage of his childhood band The Pharmacy, SCOTT YODER arrived clad in a black cloak, stomping to the beat of his own sparkling tambourine. Over the course of four LPs & nearly a dozen singles he has toured the world, espousing a more personal distillation of his song craft. Nearly always on the road, he has honed his live act with a crunching, yet sensitive backing band of similarly-inclined misfits. This glitter-folk balladeer, adorned in mascara & bell bottoms invites you to sway to his entrancing charm.
