Autumns Cannon

A visceral outpouring of emotion fueled by the searing guitars and wailing keys Lynn Saxberg, The Ottawa Citizen Born in the fall of 2009, this Canadian rock group is described to have an Americana flavor joint strongly with raw emotion. You can expect vulnerability capped with a relentless energy when watching Autumns Cannon perform.

Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, is front man and singer-songwriter Shaun Francisco. The passing of his mother in the winter of 2009 brought about a desired change of pace, and a drastic move from the roots of his childhood to the Capital city of Canada. Through a blitz of networking, the rock n roll group united to form the music that delivers a message of hope and perseverance.

Amongst the five-piece are Ottawa natives, Nick Beaton, Mike Hogg, Mark Laforest, and Marty Sobb, each of them bringing life and energy to the bands sound. After two years of working together, Autumns Cannon has been crowned a 1st place victory and $155,000 of talent support through Live 88.5 and The Big Money Shot, and invitations to play well recognized and respected music festivals and venues around the country.

With the recent partnership of Autumns Cannon and Simkin Artist Management, the two sides continue to work collectively on the release of the bands debut album. The band has been busy in the studio with Gord Sinclair (The Tragically Hip) and Steve Bays (Hot Hot Heat).
