Some Friendly Giants band are from the tall mountains and deep valleys of the Kootenays in British Columbia. 

“My roots come from Sixties, Seventies, and Eighties music, but because our band is cross-generational, every decade has been creatively mined for ideas and influences,” says John Wittmayer of Some Friendly Giants.

When John (vocals, guitar, bass, synth, percussion) and Shawn Fisher (vocals, violin, keyboard, percussion, producing) met in the winter of 2020 during the “Great Lockdown,” they decided to collaborate and work on each other’s song ideas. Their brainchild, Some Friendly Giants, was born!

Barry Jones (vocals, keyboard, trumpet, percussion, producing) and James Stephens (vocals, guitar, bass, drums, producing), and shortly after - Amy Heasman and Holly Schweitzer (both vocals and songwriting) joined.
The magical collaboration called Friendly Giants came to be.

Most recently, Roger Swan has contributed his producing skills to a few songs. 

All band members contribute by way of writing and playing their ideas. John says, “The sum of our parts create music that we all identify with, and this sharing is what thrills us to keep creating.” 

Travis Yost (drums) has also made appearances on some of the band’s tracks.

Some Friendly Giants makes music with deep indie roots and an eclectic mixture of cross-generational hippie-pop. They’re releasing new songs every few months, and are looking forward to releasing their first album next year!
