WIESINGER’s motto is Fun Music for Fun People. Despite being located in the rural county of Barrhead, WIESINGER is quickly carving a name for themselves as being one of the hardest working and catchiest up-and-coming Pop Rock acts in Western Canada. While only having began releasing songs in early 2022, they have already performed alongside Tyler Shaw, The Royal Foundry, Martin Kerr, Jon Bryant and many more amazing acts. They recently sold out their third theater show in their home town of Barrhead AB, for their single release of “Hurricane.”
Justin, the lead singer and writer, wrote numerous songs on their upcoming sophomore album based off experiences from his award winning memoir “The Childlike Heist” that was released in 2019. He dealt with mental health struggles for much of his young adult life and used a few songs from those seasons, as well as newly penned songs to help share hope and his journey of recovery with his listeners. His wife Chelsey happens to be their drummer and merch designer as well. They manage to juggle home life of being parents to two young daughters and working part time jobs as Justin is a bus driver, videographer and Chelsey is a spreadsheet wizard. They have grossed well over one million streams on Spotify on their current catalog this year. With hundreds of Shazams, shares and saves from fans, they have had songs featured on CBC Radio One’s “Key of A” and worked with Juno nominated producer Trey Mills, and Edmonton’s own producer/artist Conch.
They are busily working on promoting the strategic release of their sophomore LP “Stuck in Your Head.” The lingering positive effect these songs will have that speak to the lead singer’s own mental health journey is both compelling and inspiring for their listeners. “I wanted these songs to hit hope and feel like a hard fall on a soft pillow,” The lead singer explains. The first single off their new album “If You Need Someone” featuring Edmonton’s own JusJrdn dropped in late October 2022 which was extremely well received. Be sure to jump on the fun train because WIESINGER is heading on a trip of the decade and they can’t help but have you join along for the ride!
