artist Proof Of Ghosts

The ground is dry and there is no rain in sight. In the heat of the 2003 blackout Proof of Ghosts came to be. On a crowded bar patio by candlelight with the humid haunted black skyline against a still blacker sky Steve Shoe began to sing.
             That simplified and honest experience slowly grew, out of napkin song ideas and a basement recording session, Proof of Ghosts gradually began to flower, and in 2005 Steve began to perform his new songs live. With a core trio consisting of Steve Shoe (The Electric Shoes), Mike Duffield (The Postage Stamps), and Mike Hawko (Sinking Ships), Proof Of Ghosts has an extended family that includes; Jason Baird (Do Make Say Think, Feist), Kelly Sue O'Connor (Henri Fabrige and the Adorables), Justin Small (Do Make Say Think, Lullaby Arkestra) and Trevor Coleman (The Boat), amongst others.
             The release of Proof Of Ghosts' self titled debut record is a momentous occasion. Proof Of Ghosts features 15 songs of pure pleasure and aural ecstasy, with heartfelt lyrics and guitar rupted waves of emotion. This is folk rock that mesmerizes.
              Proof of Ghosts has shared the stage with touring acts White Whale and VCR, locals Rock Plaza Central, The Diabaleros, The Cansecos and Timber Timbre and joined Do Make Say Think on tour in Washington DC.

"This music is an aural awakening, an introspective journey of folk powered nuggets that's both part sustained euphoria, part innocent candida. My faith is restored, POGs' palate of swirly, folk-tinged rock, piercing vocals, soaring arrangements and lush sound make it the soundtrack to a sonic mystical adventure." - Lonely Vagabond - stillepost.ca - Dec 2007
