Artist Information
Biography
Rock Garden is a four piece band from
Ontario, Canada that combines elements of power pop and classic rock to
create energetic, passionate music.
If you enjoy music by The Romantics or The Knack, Rock Garden is for you.
The members: Terrance Dawson (Lead Vocals, Guitars), Zsuzsana Dawson
(Keyboard, Vocals), Adam Clarke (Vocals, back up instruments), Ray
Porrill (Percussion), are unique in the sense they represent a wide
range of ages as well as musical styles. This means the band is able to
write some great songs due to their combined life experiences.
If anything comes across in their new single, Wanna Be Bad, it is the passion and charisma that emanates from the group.
According to Dawson (lead vox/guitar):
“Our lyrics range from being deeply introspective and poetic, to
saucy and suggestive. We play intricate powerful guitar melodies. Our
vocals are melodic, and the drums are jazz-influenced. Rock Garden is
rock at its most diverse, with our classic rock roots and big nods to
jazz, folk and straight up blues.”
