Want to meet our 3rd artist for the 2026 Salmon Sessions Music Festival?

Meet the generous Theives!

In 2023 they sparked a wave of attention in Japan, quickly becoming a fan favourite, leading to successful tours in 2024 and 2025. Their approachability and willingness to personally engage with fans have helped them build a loyal international following, even as they remain under-the-radar in Canada. 🫢

Formed in 2021, the band is led by singer and guitarist Andrew Conroy, joined by Keely Rammage-Scott on bass, Ian Perry on drums, and Eric Miller on keys. They have built a strong and growing fanbase in Japan, where they’ve successfully toured twice, backed by the success of their singles “Famous In Japan” and “笑顔” (Japanese for “Smile”). Their work continues to gain momentum overseas, selling out shows in Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto, securing radio play in Tokyo, and being featured on local television in Fukuoka.

With their upcoming second album due in 2026, Generous Thieves seeks to expand its fanbase to new territories, as well as back home in Canada. The band’s distinct reggae fusion sound positions them for success in unlikely places, while remaining steadfast representatives of Canada’s vibrant independent music scene. 🎵
