Bio
Two time Mississauga Music Award nominated indie folk trio Wilson & The Cast Aways, meld the influences of troubadours past with their own unique style to bring a fresh take on a long standing folk music tradition. The trio, each singer/songwriters in their own right, take it in turns singing lead and harmony, passing instruments back and forth building thoughtfully layered arrangements, all in an effort to share their story-songs in a way that makes a connection with their audience. Whether in their original tunes or their unique arrangements of well loved songs the band strive to share stories that ring true, even when they're completely made up.
With the advent of the pandemic forcing the band to spend their time apart from each-other instead of on stages across the GTA, Wilson & The Cast Aways turned their creative efforts to self-producing a video series called ‘Tunes From Our Rooms’ throughout the lockdowns.
A selection of favourites from the project are now available to stream everywhere as the EP 'Tunes From Our Rooms, Vol. I' with a second volume on its way. The Cast Aways are busy demoing original music with plans to record and play as many live shows as possible. We’ll see ya down the road!
