Troy Western is creating his own blend of music entirely worth experiencing. Fans around the world are saying his "music is beautiful and voice is hauntingly memorable" with "great presence and talent". "Everything is perfect". As one person wrote, "with his spectacular voice and outstanding guitar virtuosity, he wowed the crowd with his musical prowess".
Troy Western has a passion for music that saturates every note and word, drawing people worldwide to his acoustic-based sounds. Ranging from sweetly simple to intensely intricate, this singer/songwriter delivers songs that are addictive to the discerning ear. A welcoming live performance invites his audiences to experience passionate songs that are emotionally captivating and musically intense.
Troy's dynamic live performances have been seen and heard around Ontario’s “Golden Horseshoe” from Toronto through to Fort Erie, including Paragon Entertainment’s Singer/Songwriter Competition in Toronto where he placed third overall and at this year’s Fort Erie Friendship Festival this past Canada Day. Recently, Troy helped to organize and performed at the massively successful fundraiser Andrew’s Fight in St. Catharines for a friend battling cancer. He was featured on Brock University’s radio station, CFBU 103.7 on the show Inside The Rhythm Hive and on television on "The Source", a community news and entertainment program in the Niagara region, wherein he talked of his passion for music, family, and creative inspiration. Last year was highlighted with performances at the 2007 S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival in St. Catharines and the Highland Creek Heritage Festival in Scarborough, as well as at such respected Toronto venues as The Cameron House, Holy Joe's, and The Renaissance Cafe. In the Niagara region, Troy’s appearances include the first annual Fort Erie Music Festival, a packed house with standing room only at Strega Café, Brock University's Isaac's Pub, The Merchant Ale House, Kaz’s Pub, and Port Mansion in both the theatre and acoustic lounge in St. Catharines, and also the Oh Canada Eh? theatre in Niagara Falls. Troy earned a nomination in the 2006 Toronto Independent Music Awards for "Best Classic Rock" for his song Into The Sun. He also earned the coveted "Featured Artist" spot on BreakingLocals.com, a website for musicians and fans alike.
Since Troy's first experience with the guitar at age 9, he has been putting his musical and writing talents to work. However, it wasn't until about 10 years later that he first bought his own guitar and became entranced with its creative potential. Some excellent learning experiences found Troy playing with a couple of bands while he continued to write and perform on his own, including the opportunity to open for Canadian rock group Big Sugar; Troy's exciting acoustic version of "Oh Canada" was met with exuberant cheers from the 200+ crowd. Troy's impenetrable drive to succeed as a singer/songwriter sees him gaining more momentum as more people turn on to what one fan deemed "awesome music".
Currently, Troy is excited to be working with a talented group of handpicked musicians on a full-length studio CD, scheduled for release later this year.
"With his spectacular voice and outstanding guitar virtuosity, he wowed the crowd with his musical prowess." - Rob S.
"My favourite song is 'Into the Sun'. I closed my eyes and was carried away into Musicland. 'Feel The Love' is also amazing, particularly how you bring a sudden adventure or unusual change of sound into it at various places." - Joyce W.
"The song ('A Knight To Remember') was beautiful. I like when the guitar picks up, the beat is hypnotic. This song is the perfect medicine. Thank you. I just want to hear 100% PURE, acoustic Troy!!!" - Brittany K.
"...a kind, intelligent, well-spoken/versed musician." - Ian M.
