About
Tariq is a Juno nominated songwriter with a music career spanning over two decades as both Tariq and as part of the critically acclaimed Vancouver collective, Brasstronaut.
A stalwart of the Canadian indie scene for decades, this new EP marks the beginning of a new chapter and new sound for Tariq. Decidedly louder, and more immediate he is trading in soft folk harmonies for full throated wails. It also represents a new and collaborative approach to making music, working with musicians Robert Chursinoff (Drums), Peter Carruthers (Bass/Keys), and Adam Nanji (Guitar) who have all been members of some of the most prominent bands in Canada including Tegan and Sara, Said The Whale and Belle Game. “This project is a way to experiment with collaboration and also a heavier sound. I want to create something that resonates in its live form, in front of a big crowd at a festival, something that will be entertaining to watch and sound big and bold.”
