FRANKIE!
HOW DID YOU COME TO JOIN THE ELWINS? Frankie: I had met Matthew briefly at one of their local shows. Then when I heard they were looking for a bass player I decided to audition. I came on tour and we’ve all been buds ever since!
HOW DOES GROWING UP AND LIVING IN ONTARIO INFLUENCE YOUR MUSIC?
WHAT SORTS OF THINGS DID YOU GET TO SEE AND DO WHILE IN VANCOUVER?
Feurd: Ontario is an awesome place for music. I actually grew up in Edmonton, but all my musical development was in Ontario. I had some really great teachers that helped me develop a lasting passion for all things musical! The music scene is also so diverse here which allows you to get inspiration from a lot of amazing musicians from different cultures and influence. Frankie: The local music scene is really strong so having so many people around with the same passion helps motivate you to do your best. Matthew: I’m not exactly sure but the area where we live is beautiful and that definitely helps in gettin’ the creative juices flowing. Travis: That’s a good question. I wish I had a good answer (laughs) There is a high concentration of Swiss Chalets in Ontario so that’s always comforting.
Feurd- I wish we had spent a little more time just hanging/wandering around Vancouver and checking it out. It seems like such an interesting city with a lot of exciting things happening. You guys gave us a nice little tour which was nice!! Frankie- So many fun things! We went for a swim which was quite pleasant. Matthew- It was awesome to hang out at the CBC building and meet lots of our CBC crushes. Travis- Yea going to the CBC was sweet. Doing this interview and taking pics haha Also getting to visit my aunt who I nearly never see was nice.
