Rory Lawford Music

Best known as the singer/guitarist/frontman for Saskatoon hard rock cover bands Riff Raff, and Powerslave, I’m also performing select dates on my own. With an acoustic guitar and a couple of fancy pedals, I strip down an eclectic selection of songs spanning many genres.

I’ve spent a lifetime gigging everywhere from rundown dive bars to mainstage opening slots for arena rock legends. Yet, after literally thousands of shows, it’s always been in cover bands playing someone else’s songs. Never my own.

This year I finally decided I'm making my own record, honestly just to be able to say “I tried it once”. No delusions of “selling millions” or “hitting the charts”, I just wanted to make finally some music that's mine - good or bad. So I holed up in my basement with my guitars and a mic and got to work. This EP is the result.

Most guys in their fifties with a midlife crisis go out and buy a sports car, change careers, or have an affair. Instead, this EP is literally MY “Midlife Crisis”.
