biographical info
Before Doug Hoyer went on to CBC’s ‘rockumentary’ TV show “Rock Camp” (with Juno nominated indie-rocker Joel Plaskett), he formed the band “Smorgasbord”. To achieve the ‘full’ sound that he wanted, Doug recruited not only guitarists (Jared Brenzan), pianists (Calvin MacElroy) and percussionists (BJ Diederichs); but also accordions, saxophones and flutes (Sarah Kvamme).
Smorgasbord is a band that is influenced by winter, Canadian prairie life, as well as observations of the everyday. They like to reflect this in their music; layered, diverse, honest and fun.
