Troy Western is a singer-songwriter putting the 'thunk' into his folk-rock grooves. His music seems to have a slightly different edge that likely comes from his eclectic music tastes. While some have compared Troy's sound to the Dave Matthews Band or Neil Young, many say they just can't quite put a finger on it.

Troy Western's latest EP "Rocks In A Bucket" put him on the road from his home in St. Catharines, Ontario to Canada's east coast with his "Rocks & Fields" tour. "Feel The Love", the lead track, can be heard in a series of videos from Commonplace Eco-Village on environmentally-friendly lifestyles. You can often find Troy performing around southern Ontario ranging from solo acoustic shows to those with the full band, as well as with a variety of guest musicians. Festival highlights include the Niagara Food Festival, the S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival, the Fort Erie Friendship Festival, the Fort Erie Music Festival, the Highland Creek Heritage Festival, and the Sammy Sugar Day Festival. He helped organize and performed at the hugely successful fundraiser "ANDREW'S FIGHT" in support of a friend and paramedic fighting cancer. Troy was featured on Brock University's radio station, CFBU 103.7 on the show "Inside The Rhythm Hive" and on television on "The Source", a community news and entertainment program in the Niagara region, wherein he talked of his passion for music, family, and creative inspiration. Some past experiences found Troy opening for Canadian rock group Big Sugar with an exciting acoustic version of "Oh Canada" that was met with exuberant cheers from the 200+ crowd. The 2006 Toronto Independent Music Awards recognized Troy with a nomination for "Best Classic Rock" for his song Into The Sun. He also earned by popular vote, the coveted "Featured Artist" spot on BreakingLocals.com, a networking website for musicians and fans alike.
