Skye Wallace - "Body Lights the Way" - Featured Artist
Skye Wallace is what happens when a trained singer with east coast roots discovers punk rock in their youth and writes music that makes you feel excited.
Skye’s recent self-titled album embodies Canadiana. From living on BC’s west coast to spending time at residencies in Norris Point, Newfoundland and Dawson City, Yukon, the Toronto-based artist has been inspired by every corner of the country. The new album combines her folk songwriting roots with influences of 90’s riot girls and grunge, resulting in songs that jump from somber reflections to rowdy highs.
Skye’s in-demand live show has landed her performances at Reeperbahn Festival, NXNE’s main stage, the National Arts Centre, Halifax Pop Explosion, Vancouver Folk Fest, a cross-Canada tour with Matt Mays, multiple support dates for Sam Roberts Band, and a residency at the Dakota Tavern in Toronto last fall. Her single “There Is A Wall” broke the top 40 alternative rock charts in Canada, and media features including a CBC First Play and a Live at the Verge session continue to build the story of this exciting artist.
