BIO
SHY FRiEND is what happens when a queer, prairie-based, chronically-online & toxically self-determined artist faces the realities of the music industry in late-stage capitalism. SHY FRiEND is brutally honest, tragically dramatic, & full of feminine rage, and has been turning the Alberta music scene into a church for the queer, alt, pop & punk misfits to share in since 2023 while experiencing the sonic equivalent of their mantra “TO BE CRINGE IS TO BE FREE”.
Cold Bones Fest respectfully acknowledges that we are on Treaty 7 territory, the ancestral and traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy: Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika, as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Stoney Nakoda First Nation. We recognize the land as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those on whose territory we reside.
