James Leclaire & Matt Gower - at the Red Bird!

Hey Note Lovers, it's Carolyn here....Join us for James Leclaire & Matt Gower - at the Red Bird!

James Leclaire From fist pumping, stomp your feet workingman anthems to soulful ballads of love, heartache and loss; James' songs are all about storytelling. Intensely thought-out lyrics grind through James' raspy vocal cords with powerful emotion to produce rich, dark imagery that can really punch you in the heart. .....

"He’s the Dave Grohl of Ottawa country music, the songs just soar." - -The Revue

"... he sings with a mix of Bob Dylan and Steve Earle. It’s a phenomenal mix of country/folk/blues."
-Martyr Magazine....

Matt Gower has been involved in the Ottawa music community for over two decades. His songwriting incorporates folk, alt-country and old-time music weaved between timeless lyrics and dynamic vocals. Over the years Matt has performed with garage-folk band Capital Grass and the No Men and folk duo Fathom the Sea around the National Capital Region and Western Quebec. Throughout Matt’s musical journeys, a constant thread has held true: nothing carries more weight than connecting with an audience through the power of song.
