An evening of good-time-tears-in-yer-beers country rock from Kingston and Toronto!! FREE SHOW!! Live at The Toucan (76 Princess Street, Kingston, Ontario). Featuring:
GOOD CO.
https://linktr.ee/Goodcoygk
Good Co. is an Alt-Country band from Kingston, Ontario. What began as a solo songwriting project by Cody Allen James has evolved into a bonafide country rock outfit founded on a simple principle: write good songs and play them well. While they, of course, draw from the masters of the craft: Bob Dylan, John Prine, Gram Parsons, and The Rolling Stones, Good Co. has also been unavoidably influenced by more contemporary artists such as Neutral Milk Hotel, Deer Tick, and Demon’s Claws to name a few.
The core creative force behind Good Company comes from brothers, and lifelong songwriting partners, Cody Allen James (guitar/vocal) and Coyote Williams (bass/vocal). Growing up in rural Ontario, raised on roots country and rock n’ roll, James and Williams have developed and meticulously honed an intuitive sense for songwriting, with an unshakable focus on quality lyrics, memorable melodies, and air-tight song structure.
Seeking to form a solid four-piece core, Cody enlisted Dan Killen on drums and Mike Rapkins on electric guitar - occasionally playing with a keyboard player, fiddle player, pedal steel player, and/or other friends on guest vocals.
FRASER WAYNE & THE DESERT EAGLES
https://linktr.ee/therealfraserwayne
Born and raised in rural Ontario, bandleader and songwriter, Fraser Wayne, cut their teeth in the music world after moving to Montreal in 2014 and forming seminal garage rock band, The Fuzzy Undertones. Wayne was an integral part of the underground music scene in Montreal for the past 10 years before making the move back to Ontario to work on a farm and form a backing band of Toronto city rock n roll legends dubbed “The Desert Eagles.” The resulting project breaks into some diverse influences, ranging from Canadiana, folk-rock, spaghetti western sound- tracks and more. The group, including members of ROY, Darryl Hannah, Easy Rider, and other local acts, will be releasing their first full length album in the summer of 2026 via Good Gourd Records. Fraser has also collaborated with Kyle Popovich on a video series for the album, with the latest instalment, ‘Autumn Song,’ out now.
A cowpoke of many hats – you can catch Fraser playing an intimate solo set at your local dive bar, or headlining festivals with a full backing band – always blending their country / rock n roll influences with honest-to-the-bone lyricism. Wayne’s dedication to emotional authenticity from a queer perspective, has made them a mainstay in the burgeoning Toronto country music scene. With years of performing and touring experience behind them, including supporting slots for Zachary Lucky, Bobby Dove, Li'l Andy, Spindrift and The Sadies, Fraser Wayne’s haunting, gothic take on country and western is set to take no prisoners.
