Kellen Saip and Del Suelo will be playing Tractorgrease Cafe Thursday March 30th at 7pm. Tickets are available during business hrs at 604 858 3814 or email: tractorgrease@gmail.com
Kellen Saip is an up and coming singer songwriter from Ladner BC, a small farm/fishing town outside of Vancouver BC.
His music gently fuses folk and blues with subtle undertones of faith and soul that derived from his family gospel roots. His old soul but forever young mentally helps explore a melodic guitar sound mixed with organically adapting vocals that can one minute be sweet, savory and haunting and the next minute raspy and piercing to the soul. His songs tell of a journey of heartache, bliss, love lost and love gained that can be relatable to all hearts that are still beating.
Del Suelo is a Saskatchewan based artist that makes art combining writing and music. In 2016 he released a 10 chapter/10 song combination project titled I Am Free which received an honourable mention at the Tidewater Independent Book Awards and is also being translated into German.
Musically, he performs genre-bending, soul-driven tunes that serve as a soundtrack to the novels he writes. The music is rich in emotion, varying from fun to serious. The music blends rock-pop catchiness with anything from funk to punk, steeped in the jazz tradition of improvisation and spontaneity.
