Main page > The Bassment > Great Lake Swimmers
Canadian folk-rock superstars Great Lake Swimmers make their Bassment debut performing songs that speak of beauty in the natural world, environmental issues, and explorations of close personal ties that hold us together.
Great Lake Swimmers is a Canadian band built around the melodic folk rock songs of singer-songwriter Tony Dekker. Originally from Wainfleet, Ontario, the band is currently based in Toronto.
The band’s style has been compared to Red House Painters, Nick Drake, Iron & Wine and Neil Young, as well as Will Oldham and Sufjan Stevens. Dekker has said his influences include Gram Parsons and Hank Williams.
