Artur Dyjecinski

about

(http://www.arturdyjecinski.com & www.myspace.com/arturdyjecinski) Remember as a kid traveling through leafy Birchwood forests in the mountains of British Columbia. Remember sitting in the back of your parents faded mustard Ford Pinto, your ears filling with the sweet sounds of early Neil Young. Remember driving with the windows down, the play of cool mountain air against your face and the pleasant smell of foliage coming alive in the Spring. It might sound overly iconic but Artur Dyjecinski remembers this time, and so does his music. Born in Poland, Art moved to the lush beauty of Vancouver Island at the age of two. Canada was a land of beauty, of nature, of storytelling… If life imitated a VW commercial, Artur might be just another folk singer. Just another guitar wielding hippy or worse still, a cynic trying to pick up on the current success of guitar wielding hippies. But Art’s music is more than that. Now 28, Artur Dyjecinski (Born, April 24th 1979) has developed the voice of a more hardened soul, jaded by the experiences of city life, yet his music clings to a melody that leads his listeners to a place of inspiration and simplicity evoking his childhood. His debut album A Year and a Half of Rain lends us a glimpse into the heart and soul of this musical talent. In the days before internet, Art, like the rest of us took his musical cues from an elder sibling. A peculiar mix of classic riff driven guitar (Hendrix, Crazy Horse) combined with new wave
