Music Genre(s):: Singer/songwriter

Bio:: In a world constantly under attack from the relentless cavalcade of upbeat, media-groomed, auto-tuned, gutless, corporate pop drones; comes a man whose sublime gift for crafting truly sorrowful and depressing songs seems destined to turn the world on edge or be ignored completely! As he descends down the mountain of infinite solitude (located in Kingston, ON) to answer the siren song of sadness/rock Patrick Canning summons his mischievous band of titans “The Suffering Mothers” to aid him in his quest to make the world slightly more tolerable for the miserable bastards out there who like their music dark, sad, evil and melodramatic. Brandishing his trusty guitar “Mjolnir: The Hammer of Thunder” Patrick took to the recording studio and for a solid year honed and sharpened a set of 15 tracks, each more devastating then the last, to make his most powerful album to date: “Let’s Celebrate With Blood”. Let’s Celebrate With Blood is a complex and sprawling work filled with songs about ghosts, illness, murder, car crashes, BDSM, disfigurement, funerals, and familial love. It is the eleventh self produced album by Patrick and it is a full and robust recording spanning all those genre styles the peoples like. As a semi-professional music reviewer himself Patrick would describe the album as “a challenging long player with strong dramatic narratives that switches styles from dense psychedelic rock to minimal acoustic balladry to sinister broken blues drenched in a certain kind of melancholy and anguish, but isn’t so over-the-top, hackneyed and style oriented to qualify as “Gothic”” but writing your own music reviews is super tacky. Elling Lien from The Scope wrote about Patrick “He works with a broad palette of instruments and swoops easily from traditional-sounding tunes to high-experimentation...Canning has poured himself into a clear glass the outcome may not go down easy, but it definitely gives you a healthy serving of food for thought.“
