Hey all, it's the Admiral. Long time CAG. I am hoping you guys will do me a favor.
In Delaware we have a big music festival called Firefly. I'm going there this June. It's a pretty big festival with maybe eighty thousand in attendance. https://fireflyfestival.com/
There's a Canadian artist I'd like to see at the festival in 2017 (I think it's too late for booking this year) who is supposed to give amazing live performances. His name is Rich Aucoin and he's been around for five years now.
His second album, Ephemeral, was released in 2014. He got a big break opening for Hey Rosetta. I know he's done SXSW but I don't think he's done much touring in the US so he's still relatively unknown in the states. But supposedly he's developed a reputation for amazing performances in Canada. I think he just did another European Tour and now is doing more of his own headlining.
So I'd like to see him break out wider and I think Firefly would help. So i would like the CAG members who like his music to email Firefly via [email protected] and request that they book Rich Aucoin for the 2017 festival.
To see what I'm talking about, you can watch the following links on youtube.
First is his full 60 minute set from the 2015 Evolve Music festival so you can see how he performs at larger festivals.

And here is how he opened the 2012 Evolved music festival. He warmed up the crowd with an epic eight minute video and then blew the roof off with his opening song.

I just think this guy is an absolute star and want to see him break out in the states. So your help getting him booked at firefly would be great. I'm hoping that if they get a bunch of emails Firefly will pay attention. And Rich said over twitter he would be there next year if they booked him. So please help me make it happen. Thanks!
To get a sense of his music, here are a bunch of great videos.
