Nick Posthumus is a window washer from Toronto

One of eleven brothers and sisters, he grew up in Port Perry, ON. Raised in a house where if you wanted to get heard you had to make some noise. That developed into a healthy love of performance and a job as a teacher for the family music school.

He began touring the country with several acts in 2017 as a supporting musician, and finally started releasing his own original music in 2022. A mix of soulful and folky inspirations inform a sound that has been described by past roommates and fans as “barefoot music”.

Still, there is an unmistakable dose of small town, family love and deep sentiment that is inescapably woven into his lyrics. You can decide for yourself whether or not that merits taking your socks off when you hear him live.
