Indie pop artist Dempsey Bolton performs for Acoustic Afternoons. Every week, catch a new songwriter performing a family-friendly afternoon set to soundtrack your brunch.
With Dempsey Bolton’s upbeat anthems it’s hard to tell if it’s his heart that’s breaking or if he’s the heartbreaker. Introspective lyrics layered with punchy beats define Dempsey’s self-produced indie pop hits. Coming off winning back-to-back YYC Music Awards for Pop Single of the Year, Dempsey is continuing this momentum with his third album release, “IN THE PRESENCE OF GIANTS.” Released in April 2026, the album is a self-produced tour-de-force, featuring aggressive vocals and massively distorted drums, cathartically tackling themes of isolation and heartbreak.
