Shoemaker Levee

Shoemaker Levee is an indie rock band blending anthemic and progressive rock with layered musicality. They've been compared to everything from Rush, to Black Sabbath, to the Tragically Hip.

In July 1994, a roughly 1.5 to 2 kilometres wide comet dubbed Shoemaker Levy-9 smashed into the planet Jupiter. The force of the impact would have annihilated the planet Earth.

Intrigued by the event's significance, Shoemaker Levee was born.

Shoemaker Levee has won second place in 89.1 Max FM’s Ticket to Tall Pines contest, headlined the Gussapolooza and Wintersong Music Festivals, played numerous iconic downtown Toronto venues such as the Rivoli and The Horseshoe. They have regular airplay on 89.1 Max FM (Orillia) and several international radio stations in Australia, Mexico, Finland, and in the UK.

“I feel what Shoemaker Levee has created (and will continue to create) is extraordinarily layered work with great range and musicality,” says Stephen Stohn, former Executive Director of the Juno Awards.

“I'm waiting for your Big Moment,” says Alan Cross, famous Music Broadcaster. “At some point, you're going to break out to a wider audience.”
