Formed in 2021, rooted in diversity and musical excellence, Erik Banks & The Bedlam brings together a talented collective of Indigenous, Black, non-binary, and female artists whose individual voices and influences shape their dynamic, genre-crossing style. Their chemistry on stage is undeniable—equal parts heart, fire, and soul. With raw, energetic guitar riffs, soulful bass grooves, Motown-inspired rhythms, and soaring female backing vocals carried on the warm tones of a Rhodes piano, the band delivers a sound that feels both timeless and boldly new. Since their debut, Erik Banks & The Bedlam have performed nearly a hundred shows across Alberta, earning a loyal following and a reputation for fearless musicianship and soul-stirring performances. Influenced by the legends of Motown, country, and classic rock, the band channels that legacy while carving out their own place in the Canadian music scene—authentic, passionate, and unapologetically loud.
