Shuffalo formed amidst Canada’s Rocky Mountains, and their sound has been described as, “reminiscent of a summer drive to the cabin for the weekend, or your favourite fleece-filled denim jacket on a brisk autumn morning.” But this description certainly doesn’t paint a full picture of the band’s scope and breadth of musical talent. All members are multi-instrumentalists who beautifully blend elements of folk, electronic and rock anchored by the soulful voice of primary songwriter and lead vocalist, Brayden Bell. Bell, who gently walks listeners through fields of pain and beauty of everyday life speaks directly to and from the heart, with lyrics that often provoke thoughts on spiritualism, reality, love, and adventure. Shuffalo’s music explores a range of topics, such as climate change, mortality, love, and the fight for a better tomorrow.
Shuffalo has supported notable acts such as Shred Kelly, Lucy Rose, Dave Monks (Tokyo Police Club), and Said The Whale.
