Harsh screeches, angelic choirs, mangled noises and soaring strings — Wallgrin creates a contemporary soundtrack for ancient mythologies. The art-pop solo project of composer, vocalist and violinist Tegan Wahlgren, Wallgrin delves into the space between beauty and dissonance through layers of strings and exploratory vocals. Drawing from an array of musical influences — including fiddling and choral singing — Wallgrin melds fragments of myths to form the music of an indistinct and personal folklore.
Wallgrin’s self-produced recorded material incorporates eclectic instrumentation, field recordings and unconventional song structures, while their live performances consist mainly of virtuosic vocal and violin electronic manipulation — all of which is centred around Wallgrin’s powerful voice. Wallgrin has shared stages with Jenny Hval, Flock of Dimes, Nicole Lizée and Holy Hum, and has been a featured performer at Music on Main, Khatsahlano, ArtsWells, Tidal ~ Signal and TEDxVancouver.

On May 23rd, we had the spectacular opportunity to open for Panda Bear on his tour stop in Vancouver. If you aren't already aware of his music, you almost certainly know him as a founding member of Animal Collective. When I was asked to join the bill a week before the already sold-out show, I immediately called up Jen, Elisa, and Jasper to play with me. We had such a good time on that stage — if that's where you first found me, it's nice to have you here <3

We'll be opening for Ché Aimee Dorval at one of my favourite stages in the city, the Fox Cabaret in Vancouver. Hope to see you there :)
