The group's formation is a testament to the power of serendipity and the magic that can happen when you least expect it.
The story begins with childhood friends Ryan Clapham and Paul Davis, who had been making music together since their teenage years. They had formed several bands, but finding the right vocalist had always been a challenge. Then, they stumbled upon Michelle Joy's ad on Craigslist, seeking a band to join. It was a moment that changed everything. Joy's angelic vocals and unique tone of voice were exactly what the band needed, and they knew it instantly.
Clapham and Davis were so impressed with Joy's demo that they couldn't wait to meet her in person. They wrote two songs together online before their first face-to-face meeting in 2013, and the rest is history. The trio formed Cannons, and their chemistry was electric. Over the years, they have curated their sound, and their music has evolved into a shimmering, unapologetic blend of indie pop that has captivated audiences worldwide.
What makes Cannons so fascinating is their ability to create a timeless sound that defies genre labels. They are not afraid to experiment and push boundaries, which is what sets them apart from other bands. Joy's polished vocals and captivating stage presence are a testament to her growth as an artist, and she has taken vocal lessons to refine her craft. The band's production design and retro-esque outfits also add to the overall experience, creating a vibrant and optimistic atmosphere at their shows.
Cannons' international appeal is evident in their Spotify numbers, with over 4 million monthly listeners and sold-out shows across the globe. Their hit song 'Fire for You' has reached over 299 million streams, and their new album 'Everything Glows' showcases their sonic progression and unworldly melodies. The track 'Take Me to Tokyo' is a standout, with its emotional depth and captivating live performance.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Cannons is their approach to music creation. They are not bound by genre labels and are not afraid to write songs that sound like themselves, rather than trying to replicate trends. This is a refreshing and bold approach to music, and it is what makes them so captivating. Their music is a reflection of their unique personalities and energies, and it is this authenticity that has earned them a dedicated fan base.
As Cannons prepares to take the stage in Spokane, they bring with them a sense of optimism and a desire to create an unforgettable experience for their fans.
