The song is everything. The attitude is not.
S.G. Sinnicks
Steve (S.G.) Sinnicks began playing drums at 11 and, at 15 began to play the pubs with everyone, from local artists to Canadian legend Stompin’ Tom Connors. Since transitioning to original songwriting in the late 90’s, he is now known across Canada and the US as a singer/songwriter in the vein of Nick Lowe or Billy Bragg, with a history of dissent and telling the story with words, music and solidarity.
