Tobacco Brown//
Tobacco Brown is a psychedelic genre blend of Surf, Blues, Classical, Jazz, Rock and Electronic Dance music. ‘Tobacco Brown’ is the solo project created by Kevan Schell. Kevan was taught guitar by close friend Ian Harris at the age of 13. In August, 2000 at the age of 15 he moved to Croydon, South London where he received guitar lessons from Mike Bennet for one year. Kevan was always composing music but in 2003 he began writing songs for what would be now known as ‘Tobacco Brown.’ Performing the songs live provided a different set of challenges. Busking and cutting his teeth at every open mic he could find (in random locations all over the UK) become his life for the next 5 years. In the summer of 2008, Kev returned home to Vancouver where he has lived ever since and continues to record and perform music. He has recently started playing music with ‘The Shaky Alibis.’ Tobacco Brown has been on a never-ending around the world tour including: EUROPE Almaria, Spain Zante, Greece Prague, Czech Republic London, England USA New York, NY MT. Shasta, Calif. CANADA Vancouver, BC Wasaga Beach, Ont. Mississauga, Ont. Thunder Bay, Ont. Just to name a few! Please contact: tobacco.brown@gmail.com For inquiries! xo

Jaron Chidiac//
Theatre kid turned folk-rocker, Jaron Chidiac, is gearing up to take the West Coast folk scene by storm. His classically trained, soul-drenched voice is a melodic force of nature, gliding effortlessly between poetic and gentle with a storm of rasp. The songs themselves are impressive compositions supplementing Jaron’s powerhouse vocal performances. For just a man and his guitar, he encompasses the unique capacity to fill the space in your ears and soul.
Born and raised in Prince George, Jaron took to musical theatre early in life and gained extensive stage experience with the Excalibur Theatre Company. After nearly a decade of performing, he bought his first guitar fresh out of high school and moved to Victoria a couple years after. He continued to act and play, and he quickly became a regular on the local open mic circuit.
Three years into living in Victoria, out of work and on a whim, Jaron moved to Vancouver. His experience in the theatre and playing the open mics gave him newfound confidence and set the stage for his entrance into the Vancouver scene. Shortly after moving, Jaron found himself in his first professional studio, where he would go on to meet his future bandmates in Belcarra. With Belcarra, Jaron recorded another EP, toured and became finalists in the Best In Vancouver, performing alongside the likes of Hey Ocean and The Brevet.
Jaron recently recorded his first solo EP at legendary Warehouse Studios. His first single, Sun Wolf, was released in October 2019, with the rest of the EP coming in 2020. Keep an eye out for this Canadiana songbird as he will soon be imprinting you with his ferocious talent.

Darby Yule//
From humble beginnings to a successful duo. The journey of The Yule Brothers has involved determination, family, and grit every step of the way.
Unbreakable and defiantly alternative, their anthemic style of Singer-Songwriter Indie Rock is genuine and bold. Born in the logging town of Prince George, BC, Canada Darby and Erin Yule have accomplished more in 7 years through pure-grit and a love for the craft than most do in a lifetime. True singer-songwriter personalities mixed with an early love for Punk Rock helped Darby and Erin create a style that they can say is truly their own.
The Yule Brothers started their journey known as the Pop-Punk band The Statistics. They released their first EP Haunts (produced by Paul Boechler), to a sold-out crowd in a church basement with a blown out PA system. Being the restless hearts that they were, the Yule boys started expanding out of their home-town of Prince George, BC and playing road shows such as Cranworx (Whistler), The Railway Club (Vancouver, BC), Tavern on Whyte (Edmonton, AB), as well as opening for bands such as Bend Sinister, Birds of Bellwoods, Kingsfoil and Illscarlett.
By the time they released their single Jealous Heart (produced by Elisa Pangsaeng) in 2016, they were doing full tours and headlining festivals such as UBC Goosehunt Festival (Vancouver), Canadian Music Week (Toronto) and Parks Alive! (Kelowna).
In November 2016, they released their country inspired, regretful single Old Habits feat. Amy Kirkpatrick (produced by Elisa Pangsaeng) to a full house at the Prince George Playhouse Theatre. They were also nominated for "Best Out of Province Act" at the Toronto Independent Music Awards. They finished the year with placing in Semi-Finals at Indie Week Toronto's "Best in Fest" award.
In the spring of 2017, The Yule Brothers went back into the studio to start recording The Robson Street Hymns. Produced by Elisa Pangsaeng and themselves, the album featured an all-star line up of members from Said the Whale, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Colin James and Wide Mouth Mason.
Darby often refers to the first single off the new album, True North, as “the first honest to god Yule Brothers songs”. It reached 40,000 streams in the first month and 88,000 streams to date.
In late 2018 The Yule Brothers teamed up with Redwoods and The Fallaways to co-headline the sold-out WTF Tour hitting 8 dates across British Columbia.
Other singles from The Robson Street Hymns, Sparks in the Night and Maryanne, hit national radio play on CBC Radio 2 along with being accepted to 11 Spotify playlists. They have been featured in over 75 media outlets. Maryanne was premiered on such heavy hitters as Parade Magazine and Pure Grain Audio.
The Robson Street Hymns was premiered on September 6, 2019 on Substream Magazine.
In 2020, they had to cancel a cross Canada Tour as well as their first European tour after the music industry was decimated from Covid-19. Darby and Erin decided to keep moving forward and officially changed their name to The Yule Brothers. They teamed up with Creative BC and did a virtual tour of all of their favourite venues that had been hit so hard in the pandemic.
In the summer of 2020, they went back into the studio with their friend Karl Dicare to do what they do best, record real and honest music. This time with a twist though; Darby and Erin were only going to work with their friends. No big names, no flashy studio musicians, just people they honestly loved being around. These new songs are made completely from the heart with a team that has as much passion as Darby and Erin do. Erin’s girlfriend Courtney even did the front cover.
The Yule Brothers are pleased to announce their ambitious new single I Am On Fire, produced by Karl Dicare. Set to be released everywhere on April 30, 2021. Please presave on Spotify of follow them on any social media platform at @theyulebrothers
