Darin Martin

“From the moment you hear Darin speak on the mic, you are captivated by his quiet and sincere tone. This is only amplified once his brilliant guitar and powerful vocals are added. Darin has played many times at the Freeway and each time we are excited to have him back on the stage! ”

Miranda Ciarroni - Music Coordinator @ the Freeway

"Engaging and personable; Darin Martin's live performance moves you and his music stays with you long after the moment passes. Just between me and my headphones, this is one artist I want to keep on repeat."

Rebecca Doll - Heart of The Hammer Cafe

Liam Kinnon is a singer/songwriter and guitarist from Toronto. He has been writing songs since he was 4 years old. He has been playing guitar, bass, and piano in clubs, bars, and churches with various bands and as a solo performer.  ”Working out a combination of covers and original songs as a single acoustic performer can be a challenge” he says, “but getting in front of people with this material is worth the risks.”

Having recently completed a successful tour opening for Don Amero on the East Coast and regular performances in Toronto Liam is continuing to write, record, and play his music wherever he can.

Darin Martin & Geoff Laforet

This duo has been rocking out together for almost 3 years and has played pubs, restaurants,  weddings, birthday parties, backyard parties, even colouring recitals.
Their tight harmonies and upbeat acoustic vibe is very infectious and engaging.
When they are not playing acoustic guitars and hand drums, they are rocking it in their band "Otic Poets" whose brand new EP "Frontiers" will be
available very soon.
