Contrary to what their name suggests, West of Winnipeg is not from Winnipeg, but is based out of Edmonton, Alberta. All in their early twenties, the charismatic group has been exciting local clubs with their raw blues sound. Lindsey Walker’s ferocious vocals lead the outstanding musicians—a five piece with Ajay Paterson rocking the bass, Drew Malcolm shredding guitar, Kurtis Shultz on the kit, and Jon Osborne tearing it up on the keys—through extreme highs and the softest lulls. After Lindsey, Drew and Ajay had played a few times in the first few months of the Grant MacEwan music program, it was obvious that there was an artistic connection between the three of them and creating music together was effortless. The group continued to play though school together, but when they wanted to add a new dimension to their sound, they found exactly what they were looking for in the keyboard stylings of Jon Osborne, a fellow student at the college. Their next task was to put an end to the revolving door of drummers and lock in a solid rhythm section– the man with the key was Kurtis Schultz. With the lineup of the group finally secured, West of Winnipeg set out to create their own voice, and pay tribute to the extraordinary artists that have inspired them all through their journey.
