After a rising 6 years in Vancouver, including headlining festivals, multiple tours, signing to JumpAttack! Records and releasing a full length album and 2 EPs, the band was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Small Town Artillery pivoted, and by following restriction guidelines, booked the “Fewer Faces, Open Spaces” tour, one of the only live music tours during the summer of 2020 and 2021 in Canada.
Most recently, during some time taken off of performing the band lost a core member, Carson Webber. He had been their dedicated Bass player for almost 10 years and his death sparked a change in how it felt to play music and what it meant to be a band.
Rallying together as a community, and reaching out to construct a new sound and experience, Small Town Artillery now feels itself a collective, with members both new and old forming the current roster. They went on a 21 show headline tour of the Pacific Northwest in May of 2024 and are currently deep in the process of working on their 3rd LP, emerging long enough to play a handful of select shows in BC before returning to the studio to finish up the album, due for a 2025 release. These two concerts at Firehall Arts Centre will be their last Vancouver shows of the year.
The Band’s successes & growth are due to their high-energy live show, quality of original music and video, and strong work ethic to see a childhood dream realized, 20 years in the making.
