Bleeker, Texas King

Bleeker and Texas King take over The 27 Club in Ottawa on May 6, 2026, for a night rooted in straight-up Ontario rock. From Orillia, Bleeker carves out a guitar-forward sound—dry and melodic—where riffs interlock with a solid rhythm section. On stage, the band works with energy and subtlety, alternating tense cuts and catchy choruses without losing momentum. Call-and-response guitars, a compact bass, crisp breaks and bold restarts: their set moves forward without excess, with melodies that stick and a constant tension between grit and clarity.

From London, Texas King delivers a more angular melodic rock, driven by grainy guitars, a steady, no-nonsense rhythm section and a slightly rasping vocal that leads the choruses. The band favours dynamics: sharp stops, big attacks, bright guitar lines that sit atop tight grooves. Each song maintains a precise, direct structure, with enough contrast to hold the room without unnecessary effects.

Bleeker, Texas King and special guests at The 27 Club, Ottawa, May 6, 2026. Two complementary takes on the same rock language, tightly executed and conceived for the stage.
