Born and Raised in Sundre, Alberta artist and songwriter Tate Irving writes from a place of authenticity and heart. His music takes on the struggles of daily life and growing pains, and re-imagines these as catchy, moving singles which connect for their melodic embrace as much as their deeply human undertones.
Tate Irving has been playing since just five years of age and boasting a lifelong commitment to making music. His teenage years saw him perform with two different bands. In the years since, the creative has appeared in multiple shows at renowned venues and events- Including spots in Calgary, Wicked Woods Music Festival and at Friendzy Fest!
