Austin Texas based rock collective, fronted by Toronto x pat bryce clifford. Reviewers cite influences of The Band, Van Morrison & Marah, meanwhile 2010's live-recording "Ontario" showcases a new direction, towards a raucous post-punk energy.

-----

BRYCE CLIFFORD releases the live EP 'ONTARIO' in 2010, and has another full-length enroute before the year is through. His Austin based band continues to tour both in Texas and northward, past the Great Lakes into Canada.

The new recording, "ONTARIO" was captured live to tape in one-take. Produced by James Stevens of Austin's acclaimed locals 'Moonlight Towers', the collection of songs also includes guest appearances by members of 'Sleepercar', 'New Pornographers' and 'Lil Cap'n Travis'.

Bryce moved to Austin in 06', where he recorded "Signal the Sun". Live performances attracted top players like Kim Deschamps (pedal-steel guitar / Cowboy Junkies / Blue Rodeo), Jon Blondel (Willie Nelson, Sublime) and Tony Scalzo (Fastball) to collaborate on the record and join Bryce on shows around the city.

"SIGNAL THE SUN" garnered high praise from Europe, U.S. and Canada, including Americana UK (*9 of 10 stars), Roots Time Belgium, Toronto Star, Alt-Country Netherlands, more. (Reviews page - www.sonicbids.com/bryceclifford)

In 2007, Bryce was invited to compose the original musical score for "Hitting Their Mark", a BRAVO-TV documentary about the state of live theatre, which continues to air frequently across Canada.
