With self described "Experimental Acoustic Folk" music by the Short Story Long, Shane moves from subdued, deep, sad love poetry to power chord hip-hop. He brings enormous vitality and virtuosity to every performance.

His warmth, wit and sincerity are a hit with crowds and his lyricism inspires all who listen.

Shane Koyczan is one of the world�s premier spoken word performers. His last performance, at the 2010 Olympic Opening Ceremonies brought the 55,000-seat house to their feet with his tear-jerking homage to Canada "We Are More". The Guardian (UK) and the Globe and Mail (Canada) hailed his book, Visiting Hours as a Book of the Year Selection.

Now the multi award winning spoken word performer breathes life into the new genre of talk rock with his band the Short Story Long, a musical trio (Olivia Mennell, Maiya Robbie, and Stefan Bienz) whose musical range stretches from folk to funk, from ambient to rock, showcasing all of the beautiful in between. A band that is always accessible but by turns hilarious, moving and deeply profound...often all in the same song.

Playing to sold-out theaters and receiving standing ovations, this critically acclaimed group is swiftly moving to the forefront of the Canadian indie music scene.
