The Jerry Cans

Iqaluit’s The Jerry Cans are a band from and for the north—they’ve always been committed to making music that honours and dialogues with their home communities.

The JUNO Award-nominated group bring a wash of glassy, slashing electric guitars, thundering drums, effects-warped throat singing, and darkened violin work, echoing sounds of love, anxiety, desperation, and grief, as well as the tangled relationships in between. From buzzing indie rock to towering shoegaze to moonlit country to Arctic post-punk, The Jerry Cans continue a tradition of celebration and resistance through music, marching in lockstep and acknowledging the vital, fortifying importance of both. The Jerry Cans are: guitarist/vocalist Andrew Morrison, vocalists/throat singer/accordionist Avery Keenainak, violinist Gina Burgess, bassist Brendan Doherty, and drummer Steve Rigby.
