Troy Alistair is a Nova Scotia rock band with a sound shaped by contrast. Rooted in rock, but pulling from funk and hip hop, the band moves between heavier, groove-driven sections and more vulnerable melodic moments without losing its edge.
At the centre of it is a long-running connection between Taran Guest and Maxwell Cranford, who grew up on Nova Scotia’s South Shore and were drawn early to the same thing: music. With the addition of Adam Bourque on bass, Logan Burke on drums, and Dave MacKean on keys, that connection grew into a full band with a sound that feels tight, energetic, and honest.
Their live show carries that same balance. It is full band, high energy, and grounded in something real.
Following the release of their second album, Troy Alistair is focused on building momentum, expanding their reach, and taking the project into its next phase.
