Erwin Vesper + Band in Calgary, AB

SEEKING

ABOUT

We're always keeping an eye out for potential collaborators. Maybe a cellist or mandolin player... or percussionist or xylophone. You might be an addition for Erwin Vesper, or maybe one of several side projects band members have on the go.

Erwin Vesper is a Calgary based indie-alt-rock band that makes music because it's creative, expressive and it feels good. We explore, write, experiment, play gigs, record and have fun with our music. We are serious but not intense. We have high expectations and constant curiosity. We jam every Tuesday, and gig several times per year. We have played King Eddie, Ironwood, Ship & Anchor, LilacFest, Mikey's, Blind Begger and more.

We're not in it for the money or the glory (okay, maybe a little bit of glory), but we love making music. Search for Erwin Vesper wherever you stream to have a listen to what we've put out to the world. We released a full album in 2018, an EP in 2020, and more on the way.

We love gear, and have a wonderful arsenal of amps, guitars, PA and speaker variations, microphones, cables, stands... Collectively we have a lot of it.

If we suck, it's not because of the gear...
