With his rhythmic verse in high gear, Shane navigates his audience through social and political territory with a furious honesty and a tender humanity that has brought audiences to their feet in New York, London, Edinburgh, Sydney, Stockholm, and Los Angeles, to name a few. He has received 5 star reviews for his performances around the globe. Winner of the US Slam Poetry Championship and the Canadian Spoken Word Olympics, Koyczan is truly an extraordinary talent that has blown the dust off of the traditional designation “poet”.  http://www.shanekoyczan.com/

 His performance at the Port Theatre will be part of his cross Canada Tour, "Silence is a Song I Know all the Words to."

"Silence is a Song I Know all the Words to" is another chapter in the continuing story of Shane Koyczan. His CD of the same name is now available with the companion piece a graphic novel. The CD features the album track "Troll" which is accompanied by a video that features the artwork of Gareth Audin who also illustrated the graphic novel.

"Troll" is dedicated to all those who have lost friends or family through online abuse. This poem about cyber bullying and the challenges of managing and understanding this new breed of abuse in this digital generation has already garnered more accolades for Shane.
