BIOGRAPHY
What do you get when you combine four young lads, a metric ton of gear that comprises most of their net worth, and an old van with busted AC? Yes, you got it! This traveling band is The Empties, a group whose sound cannot be described as anything less than unforgettable and electrifying. Their individually unique and varied musical styles come together to create music that connects with listeners of all ages, with a digestible sound.

Since they moved to Toronto and started pursuing music full-time, they’ve been checking off the list of legendary venues for their headlining, self-promoted shows, including Lee's Palace (Toronto), Horseshoe Tavern (Toronto), Rainbow Bistro (Ottawa), and La Sala Rossa (Montreal). Other noteworthy performances include opening for Half Moon Run at The Mansion Fest and hitting the stage at The MacKinnon Brothers Music Festival.

BEYOND THE COVER
