biographical info
Adam Waselnuk has always considered himself a songwriter above all else. As such, it was only a matter of time before his creative personality went seeking another outlet for the songs that don't fit his other projects. With many successful shows under his belt, a huge amount of material, and a new dedication to his craft, Adam set out to become Tired Lion. Drawing inspiration from the Canadian independent music scene, Tired Lion crafts songs that combine various folk elements with memorable melodies and bluesy grit. While his main writing style leans heavily towards the love-struck singer-songwriter soundscape, Tired Lion believes strongly in branching out through experimentation. His goal is to give back to the Canadian artists and listeners who have so inspired him. Having completed his debut demo, Tired Lion is ready to put himself to the test by bringing his honest voice to stages around Canada's national capital region.
