It’s going to be an evening of soul-stirring music and storytelling at Red Bird Brewing. On Thursday, October 16, we’re bringing together two powerful voices in Canadian folk and alt-country – Tyson Ray Borsboom and Denver Venoit, for a free live performance that promises to be both intimate and unforgettable.
Tyson Ray Borsboom
Tyson Ray Borsboom is a Canadian singer-songwriter blending country, singer-songwriter, folk, and alt-rock into heartfelt musical storytelling. His songs invite listeners into raw emotion and reflection, with a sound that feels both fresh and timeless.
Based in Vancouver, BC, Tyson has shared the stage with Field Guide, Billy Raffoul, Jon Bryant, and Kacy & Clayton, earning a reputation for captivating live performances. Collaborating with producer Phenix Warren (Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, Wyatt C Louis, Kyle Church), he’s set to release his sophomore album in 2026.
Catch him on tour across Canada this spring and in Germany this fall. Fans of Zach Bryan, Gregory Alan Isakov, Noah Kahan, and Donovan Woods will feel right at home with his music.
Denver Venoit
Denver Venoit, known in these parts as Ole Man Kidd, lassos lonesome tunes from the heavens that’ll rattle your spurs and splash cold water on your face. Hailing from up north in The Yukon, Denver began touring across North America as a drummer, acquiring an unquenchable taste for travel along the way. He caught the blues the day his best friend died in his arms in a house fire in Montreal, and he has been wearing a cowboy hat and writing Folk, Country, Blues songs ever since.
The howl of the bottleneck slide Denver coaxes from his steel guitar replicates a lovesick longing authenticated by his roving. He’s sung his songs to the wide open airs of the Yukon tundra, the Mojave desert, and the Saskatchewan plains, where he spent a season’s after season’s as a bison ranch hand. Ole Man Kidd’s music is steeped in a sepia hue and shows a dedication to reflecting the tearful truths of both personal and common history. “Tobacco and Tears-” – Shaun Steven Wolfe — QuebexicoPirateRadio
