The band’s name comes from the character Tom Sawyer who was a wise and rebel teenager that was always looking for adventure. He understood that freedom was the principal gift of life and used his to realize his dreams. The band supports this philosophical thought that you can gain success through the freedom of doing what you love. We all have different paths in life, but it doesn’t mean that you are any less if you don’t follow the same tendencies as the majority. “Don’t go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.“ (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

BIO

Sawyer Path was a rebirth of Sean and Alex when they teamed up with drummer Pete in June 2009. Since Sean and Alex used to be in a punk rock band before, the arrival of Pete drastically changed the sound of the band. They started writing and playing alternative rock songs mixed with grunge and metal influences. In early 2010, the band had already started playing gigs and recording songs in a studio to try and get their name out. After two years of recording demos and performing in a ton of shows, Sawyer Path initiated the recording of their first full-length album entitled “Enter The Fog”. This album came out on January 2013. At this date there were still 3 members in the band with Sean playing the guitar while singing. Then, the band added a new guitarist (Oliver L’Heureux) to their line-up after releasing their second record called “Escape My Demons” on February 21st 2015. This EP signified the beginning of a new era for the band. The hard work was starting to pay off and opportunities were starting to appear. The single “Escape My Demons” started playing through radio stations and the name of the band was finally spreading out. One year later, on November 25th, Sawyer Path added a new guitarist called Olivier Veilleux to their line up to create a new dynamic for the next album. Since he had played guitar with Olivier L'Heureux for many years in other bands, he was a perfect fit. It leaded up to the third album called Toxic Temptation, which came out on April 13th 2018. The first single off this new record is called “Blind” and was released on March 20th as a music video.
