Rory Taillon: Jukebox Lunch Concerts

Alternative indie folk singer Rory Taillon has been touring Canada for over a decade, performing on stages from coffee shops and living rooms to concert halls and festivals. He has shared stages with the likes of Stephen Fearing, Zeus, Jeff Martin of the Tea Party, Adrian Sutherland and Julian Taylor, to name a few. Since 2012, he has released two EPs and four albums, including the recent Now It’s Quiet (2024).

Rory was trained as a classical singer from a young age, and his years of study are evident in the power and control that he has over his voice. He uses his warm guitar tone, haunting lyrics, dynamic voice, layers of looping and the thumping of his kick drum to take the audience on a journey through his set from exhilarating highs to emotional lows.

His songs don’t shy away from difficult subjects, dealing with loss, grief and the struggles of mental health issues. Rory’s tall stature and striking presence are contrasted beautifully by his soft, gentle demeanour and his vulnerable lyrics.
