From the Promoter

Often described as one of Canada’s best up-and-coming acts, Hey Ocean! is a young band with an extraordinary talent for blending various musical styles into a brand of infectious pop that is uniquely their own. The three-piece band is bringing their talents to Halifax’s Marquee Ballroom on Friday, August 8 with very special guests Dear Rouge and Soho Ghetto.

Together, Ashleigh Ball, David Beckingham and David Vertesi have created a musical repetiore that cannot be ignored – be it on radio, television or your neighbour’s iPod, Hey Ocean will soon be everywhere.

Aside from the skillful delivery of their music, what sets Hey Ocean apart is the spirited character they bring to the stage. Three mischievous personalities combine to form a dynamic live presence that keeps concertgoers captivated and on their feet. In fact, live performance has been an integral part of what the band calls their “natural growth.” But what began as a very casual musical partnership between friends has, in less than four years, morphed into one of Canada’s most successful independent bands.

Hey Ocean hopes to build on their solid reputation with Canadian fans by working even more: more music, more tours and as many more festivals and outdoor concerts as possible. By popular demand, the group is also making a path to the United States to connect with its ever-growing fan base south of the border.

Continuously leaving fans in awe, Hey Ocean combines sheer talent, charismatic songs, and an undeniably energetic live show, making them a must-see band.
