Darryl Kissick

**Darryl Kissick** is a Winnipeg-based indie rock musician whose introspective songwriting and lo-fi charm have carved out a cozy niche in Canada’s DIY scene. Known for crafting wistful, melodic tunes that blend jangly guitars with candid lyrics, Kissick’s music often feels like flipping through a weathered journal of personal reflections and small-town vignettes. Releases like *Ghost Towns of Manitoba* and *Goodbye Patterns* showcase his knack for pairing nostalgic warmth with a touch of existential humor, while tracks such as *My Sunshine* and *Let It Burn* highlight his ability to turn everyday moments into relatable anthems.

A self-proclaimed home-recording enthusiast, Kissick has become a staple of the Winnipeg indie community, often collaborating with local artists and embracing a scrappy, authentic approach to music-making. His work, including the split single *I Once Knew / It’s Cool* and the bittersweet *Much Later*, carries the intimate vibe of late-night bedroom recordings—a sound that’s earned him a dedicated following among fans of earnest, unfiltered rock. Whether he’s musing on life’s uncertainties or strumming melancholic hooks, Kissick’s music feels like catching up with an old friend over a cup of coffee.
