Lloyd Smiley is an Ottawa-based artist & musician, born by the Rideau River & raised in North Gower, Ontario. He now lives half of the year in the busy Capital city & the other half in near-seclusion beside a Lake in Québec, where he spends many long hours cultivating his mellow "Cottage Rock" style by the water. His mix of soul & city blues will keep your toes tapping while he whistles his way into your dreams. In 2016, he released a 5-song EP of his original songs with his band, The Minor 9s. Stay tuned for his upcoming debut solo album, set for release sometime this fall....
