@RiverTiber – The City (Video)

River Tiber (pronounced “River Tye-ber”) was started by 23-year-old singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Tommy Paxton-Beesley. Multitracking all the instruments, vocals, samples and sounds on his recordings, River Tiber has emerged as an original voice in Toronto’s music scene, with a dark, gritty electronic sound that continues to evolve.

Joined onstage by fellow musicians John Mavrogiannis, Thadeus Garwood, and David Lewis, River Tiber comes alive as an inventive musical performance.
