The Union Street is very pleased to welcome MUSEUM PIECES to our stage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friends call Tyler Messick a time traveller. His passion for uncovering archaic ballads of the British Isles and rural America has informed his unique style of orchestrated 60s-style psych-rock. He grew up in the archives and museums of America, Canada and the Middle East where his academic parents were busy curating galleries and resurrecting ancient texts for academia. He was displaced to rural Nova Scotia at age 14, and there became the obsessive kid in the front row at shows by Joel Plaskett, Al Tuck, and Sloan. His musical influences include those regional heroes along with Stan Rogers, the British folk of Bert Jansch and the Pentangle and Richard Thompson and Fairport Convention, to the plaintive country and gospel of George Jones. Messick says, "I love that troubadour tradition, you know, the ballad tradition that was going on long before guitar, basically troubadours going castle to castle bringing stories, I carry heavily from that." After putting his own musical career on hold to tour the globe for five years as guitar tech and right hand man to Arcade Fire's Win Butler, Messick has returned to Halifax and resurrected his highly regarded mid-2000s band Museum Pieces. “It’s like, one day I’m hanging with Bono, and then the next day I’m back in Halifax busting my ass trying to get a gig at The Seahorse, so actually it’s a really nice juxtaposition." With his current vocal partner Virgil Muir, Tyler has been impressing audiences wherever and whenever Museum Pieces play a show, which most recently has included the Halifax Jazz Festival, and Sackville, New Brunswick's Sappyfest. With the imminent release of an eagerly anticipated new Museum Pieces album, the days of scuffling for gigs will surely fade into the past.
