TMPP is based in YYC but writes songs in SCL and places in between.
Their first album was released to absolute crickets in October of 2021, but has slowly built a following of fans which include mostly family, friends and people who scanned the QR code on a sticker placed in public bathrooms.
Our second album, What's The Point? Did a fair bit better and we were even played on the radio, thank god for covering John Prine.
2023 has seen the release of two 5 song EPs. The first, a collaboration with novelist Geoff Moore contained songs such as "I Got This" featuring the Kick Horns, "I Love That Song", a tango-based rocker with a perfect title to troll rock critics with, "Grub Street" a literary gem, "I Did What I Did" and "The Little Things" complete the eclectic mix of songs.
The second EP contains 4 previously released singles and a new song, "The Diner" a laid back tribute to the local greasy spoon.
Although most of the instrumentation and vocals are performed by TMPP, we also work with many specialized session musicians from around the world. TMPP works with producer Darryll McFadyen of the clan McFadyen.
On January 19, 2024, we released our first Spanish-language song, "Como Los Jaivas", a song for our friends in Chile.
You can purchase analog versions of our music - available on 8-track, cassette, CD and our 5KG vinyl is available at fine record stores in Calgary, Edmonton & Santiago.
Thanks for listening.
