WY-ATT (def’n): The sound of absynth, The feel of groove, touch of craft and the taste of music. Songs that strip you naked and leave you needing more.
WYATT is singer-songwriters & guitarist’s Daniel Fortier and Scott Patrick. Their songwriting is an earthy blues/rock-country hybrid melting together traces of the Americana tradition of artists like Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Sheryl Crow, Lyle Lovett, Blue Rodeo & The Roadhammers. WYATT has also welcomed onboard Saskatoon's Aussie import, Bray Hudson on drums and the extremely well travelled and verstile Cam Ewart to round out the WYATT sonic team!
Wyatt is a recipient of Rawlco Radio’s 10K20 $10,000 recording award and was recently recognized as one of the top 50 rising stars from Saskatchewan by a jury consisting of Brad Johner, Jack Semple and Jay Semko.
WYATT has dedicated the last two years to refining their sound, crafting honest original songs (resulting in their latest offering) and enhancing their live show which has become one of WYATT’s intrinsic strengths.
The result is simple:
Wyatt’s music is their own; rooted in crafted songs, textured in tequila soaked guitar tones and the emotionally powerful vocals of Daniel and Scott. They are grounded by a solid, expressively unrelenting rhythm section provided by Cam and Bray and the four together produce a powerhouse of chemistry that is undeniable. Whether performing as a duo or full band, Wyatt’s upbeat brand of bittersweet introspection and hook filled grooves are catching ears and moving feet.
The band has bonded together personally and professionally and this dynamic is quite apparent as they hit the stage. Audiences are continually grappling for more – a certain guarantee with every WYATT performance. With the release of “SNOWED IN” and their new highly anticipated offering “HARD ROAD”, the next year will be spent on building on the already growing buzz locally and breaking into new demographics across the country by means of constant touring and promotion.
Backed by solid indie management expertise through WYATTmusic, it is now time to unhinge WYATT’s brand of “ROCK COUNTRY”.
Best get ready to dance..... and don’t forget your hat.
