The Town Heroes

Genre(s): Alternative Rock

The Town Heroes are a 4-piece Alternative-Rock band known for crafting catchy, thoughtful songs. They’ve toured the world, released three critically acclaimed albums and won an array of industry awards. Anthemic choruses, 3-part harmonies, tender falsettos and big drums highlight their riff driven, dirty-yet-nuanced barrage of sound. On stage they move like intense caricatures – soaked in sweat, pushing every chord, note and beat to the limit. A structured wall of sound emerges; familiar yet distinctive. Their music is a perfect soundtrack for contemplating life with a bounce in your step. For the past 6 years TTH have played as a duo, captivating audiences with their remarkably full sound and energetic performances. Mike Ryan(Inverness) and Bruce Gillis (Mabou) – the founding members of the band – have always found inspiration and pride in their home island of Cape Breton. Their songs capture the longing to be home when they’re away, the joy and camaraderie experienced when there, and the scocioeconomic struggles of our fleeting population. With a desire to push the envelope even more, in November 2016 the band expanded to become a 4-piece, adding fellow Cape Bretoner Tori Cameron (Grand River) and Aaron Green (Halifax) to the group. The new lineup reflects and effectively captures the growth, vision, and musical maturity of the band.
