EAST COAST WEEK


Internationally recognized spoken word artist, poet and author, Shane Koyczan is touring his acclaimed new release, Silence Is A Song I Know All The Words To.

The world took notice of Shane during his performance of We Are More at the opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Vancouver olympics. More recently Shane’s influential, anti-bullying, To This Day Project video went viral in early 2013 and has reached over 14 million views.

Shane is powerfully engaging and authentic in attitude. His explorations are relevant to our times in the way that Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen were to theirs. But unlike the musicians that he’s often compared to, poets rarely infiltrate pop culture the way Shane has.
