A skillful delivery of music combined with a spirited performance

Hey Ocean
@ The Spiritbar, Tuesday Aug. 2
Often described as one of Canada’s best up-and-coming acts, Hey Ocean is a young band with a remarkable talent for blending various musical styles into a brand of infectious Pop that is uniquely their own.
The band is currently recording their new record which is set for release in late 2011.
Ashleigh Ball, David Beckingham and David Vertesi have created a musical repertoire that cannot be ignored – be it on radio, television or your neighbor’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 five years, morphed into one of Canada’s most successful independent bands.
