ABOUT

The Bishop Boys are a singer/songwriter duo from Windsor, Ontario, whose sound blends indie-rock with jazz and R&B. Trademark unison vocals, sharp lyricism, and warm, guitar-driven arrangements carry songs about love, heartbreak, and nostalgia.

 

Austin Di Pietro and Andrew Adoranti met in high school and started writing together almost immediately, drawing on shared roots in jazz and wide-ranging musical tastes. After five years developing their sound privately, they expanded into a full 9-piece live band, selling out venues and playing festivals across Windsor-Essex.

 

Their 2018 debut single "Might Be Alright" and 2020 Pelee Island EP built out a catalogue of Canadian indie-rock. When the pandemic shut down live shows, they kept writing — releasing singles in August 2020 and February 2021. The latter, "Dark Days," picked up attention from local and international media for its pandemic-era subject matter and video, and landed in the top 100 of CBC Music's Toyota Searchlight 2021 Contest out of more than 2,400 entries.

 

Di Pietro and Adoranti are also university-trained musicians and established session players in Windsor, working across various local projects and theatrical productions.

 

Their debut full-length album, Old Friends, Brief Ends, was released June 3, 2022.
