Jon and Roy

European Tour Spring 2024

It's easy to fall for the effortless, endearing charm of Jon Middleton and Roy Vizer. As seasoned musicians and longtime friends, their indie folk-rock is a genre of its own, evoking carefree summer days, winding stretches of road and the allure of travel. With over 50 million streams worldwide, it's clear that many others are captivated by Jon and Roy and the stories they tell.

Jon and Roy's live shows are known for Middleton's stirring performances, coupled with Vizer's instinctive rhythm and impeccable sense of rhythm. In recent tours, the inclusion of a horn section has elevated these performances to even greater heights; it's not uncommon for packed halls to turn into sweaty, joyous dance parties. As restrictions are gradually lifted, Jon and Roy will return to more and more sold-out halls. With an eye on new audiences and bigger venues, both in Canada and Europe, their return to live performances after this enforced long absence will be all the sweeter.

Of course, these West Coast troubadours are no strangers to big crowds and life on the road. They've toured with Xavier Rudd, The Cat Empire, Trevor Hall and Toots and the Maytals, played sold-out shows at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom and festivals across Canada (Edmonton Folk Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Ottawa Bluesfest), the US (BottleRock, CA, Levitate Music Festival, MA), Europe (Bulli Summer Festival, Germany, Sziget Festival, Hungary, Rock Les Bains, France) and the UK (Boardmasters). The band shines in front of a live audience, but that's not the only way Jon and Roy have won new fans. Clever song placements on TV shows on HBO, NBC, MTV and OLN, combined with long-running TV advertising campaigns for Lululemon, Volkswagen and Scotiabank, have further cemented their worldwide reputation.
