Von Bieker Trio

Von Bieker plays indie folk that haunts your heart with small stories and big questions. Mostly.

His recent singles have brought explosive growth, with We Don’t Even Fight Anymore gaining 10,000 Spotify streams in its first month. Asheville was featured on the Exclaim Eh? national playlist and charted in Ontario’s Radio Western Top Ten. Von Bieker’s debut album Long For This World reached #3 on the CKUA Top 30. His full-length follow-up, DUMB HOPE, releases in June 2024.

Von Bieker’s thoughtful lyrics and emotional performance have landed him on stages with the likes of Anna Tivel, Jon Bryant, Joshua Hyslop and Jordan Klassen. He was selected for Canada’s Music Incubator at the National Music Centre in 2022. He’s received radio airplay across Canada including CBC, CFUV, CFCR, CJSR, CKUA and been featured in several music publications including Bandcamp Daily, Adobe and Teardrops, Canadian Beats, Cheers To The Vikings, Chillfiltr, Mesmerized, Sinusoidal, Mystic Sons and Indie Music Flix.

A Von Bieker song wrestles between hope and despair; love and fear; faith and doubt. Gentle folk crooning meets a raw and honest howl in Von Bieker’s cinematic soundscape. His songwriting awarded him a 2022 Songwriting Scholarship from Seattle-based Image Journal.

Von Bieker draws from a powerhouse of influences, from the guitar-driven groove of Bahamas to the spiritual depth of Bruce Cockburn – from the breaking-point passion of Glen Hansard to the the quirky joy of the Talking Heads.

Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Von Bieker frequently plays solo and with his band, Von Bieker and his Small-Tones.
