Steve McKay
This is it, folks! Tomorrow night will be No Shame’s first New Voices Night and it’s time to introduce you to our third and final new voice of the showcase – Toronto’s Steve McKay.
One may be familiar with Steve McKay’s musical endeavors with other local acts such as Bruce Peninsula, T H O M A S, and Timber Timbre, just to name a few, but McKay’s solo effort is just as worthy of your undivided attention. Having studied percussion and electro-acoustic composition, McKay incorporates said knowledge and the result is acoustic sunshine pop with some of the best sing-along melodies this year. A song like “Emma Comes Home” will get stuck in your head for days at end with it’s la-la-la harmonies and chorus and also some sweet whistling, and god knows how I’m a sucker for whistling – cue my obsession with that one Peter Bjorn and John song. Interestingly enough, McKay’s debut EP is entitled Whistle and he is currently working on a new release slated to be released in late 2009/early 2010 that’ll be released through Fuzzy Logic Recordings.
