Neighbour Andy with Dusty Sundman

Neighbour Andy’s sound feels like putting on your dad’s favourite record: nostalgic and warm. The quintet from Winnipeg, Canada is a young and fresh indie band by traditional artistic standards, but listen to their music and you’ll find yourself grasping at a sense of familiarity – their melodies and charismatic signature vocals capture a comfort once thought to only be achieved by bands that stand the test of time.

Their sound cohesively layers an unlikely yet likeable magnetic mix of indie rock and Americana with an alternative twist reminiscent of young love and your “good old days.” Balanced by tenderhearted lyrical dissonance, the boys, Drake Lesperance (lead vocals), Mark Davidson (guitar), MacKenzie Jackson (bass), Joel d’Eschambault (keys), Jordan Alexiuk (drums) sparked popularity through word of mouth in August 2022 upon releasing the band’s debut summer single, 71, a track inspired by rosy-lensed coming-of-age memories in Mark’s childhood home.

From the heart of 100 Mile House to the vibrant stages of Kelowna, BC, Dusty Sundman is a folky breath of fresh air in our local music scene. As a solo artist, Dusty’s originals resonate with the soulful echoes of life’s simple pleasures, while his covers bring a new light to popular hits. His passion lies in fostering community through the common ground of music, believing every chord strummed builds a bridge between hearts.
