Nolan Hubbard boldly emerges as vocalist, guitarist and composer of evocative acoustic-pop masterpieces on his debut album: “Today.” Born and raised in the small eastern Ontario community of Gananoque, just east of Kingston, Hubbard grew up in a home immersed in music, particularly what might be called the modern Great Canadian Songbook.

“There was always music around the house, especially bands like Blue Rodeo, Great Big Sea and The Tragically Hip. And my dad was a real hard rock and classic rock guy, and I really followed in those footsteps,” he said.

A regular on the southern Ontario club scene, Hubbard has played many of the top clubs in Toronto, and has already journeyed across the country on a self-booked, self-promoted tour that saw him play for audiences from Thunder Bay, through Winnipeg, Regina and Vancouver.

This album is a game changer for Hubbard, as he’s stepped out with a confident and strong debut – a collection of songs that are accessible, compelling and which wind their way into people’s souls. It’s a record that will undoubtedly make music lovers, cultural tastemakers and the music industry feel good about the future of popular music in Canada.

Please make sure to catch Nolan’s performance at the Cove on Friday August 9th between 6-9pm.
