CALICO

CALICO, an independent Folk/Americana band based in Victoria, BC, formed at the start of the pandemic by creatively negotiating the space between personal discovery and cooperative writing. Nature is the key to freedom and guiding of the soul, where CALICO grows its roots and builds its home. The Canadian group’s personal, introspective style blends poetic lyrics with earthy, acoustic sounds and distinct connections to the living and the land. With idyllic impressionism, CALICO explores life, love, darkened days, vibrant vistas, soothing serenity, and beyond, painting musical landscapes evoking life’s important emotions and nature’s nurturing effects, like the wind’s fierce energy, the forest’s calm and beauty, and the power of the water and waves. CALICO’s experienced musicians bring expertise from diverse acclaimed backgrounds spanning classic rock and singer-songwriter to Latin and Afro influences, creating a breezy, stirring fusion of folky Americana and indie roots rock informed as much by Bob Dylan and The War on Drugs as Nathaniel Rateliff and The Black Crowes.
