About Brave Shores:
Musicians, like other artists, are sometimes daring enough to wander from their creative comfort zone - excited at the possibilities, yet unsure of what they will encounter. One such band is Toronto's Brave Shores, whose 2013 synth pop hit single, "Never Come Down", was chosen by Bell Canada to promote their Sony Xperia underwater phone. With the unexpected high-profile placement, the brother/sister combo of Jay and Stefanie McCarrol suddenly found themselves with the unique opportunity to fully explore genre that was unfamiliar, yet wholly intriguing. Knowing that the road less traveled can present both hidden dangers and unexpected pleasures, the duo consciously chose to dive into a new musical world, one filled with synthesizers and drum loops. The result is Brave Shores' music, an infectious body of work that reflects the siblings' wide-eyed exploration of an entirely new musical journey. The pair have shared the stage with some of Canada's most talented acts and have played the country's best festivals including the 2014 Pop Montreal Festival, Field Trip, WayHome
Music & Arts and Rifflandia.
