Von Bieker plays indie-folk that haunts your heart with small stories, big questions and vintage Bowties.
His thoughtful lyrics, emotional performances and sharp wit have gathered a fanbase seeking connection.

His recent album "DUMB HOPE" landed at #45 on CKUA radio’s Top 100 Albums of 2024 and was also selected by the Edmonton Journal as one of “The 10 Must-Listen Albums From Edmonton Artists in 2024.” The album also reached #6 on the national !Earshot Folk/Roots/Blues chart, with the title track passing 10,000 Spotify streams in its first two weeks.

Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Von Bieker draws draws from a powerhouse of influences, from the guitar-driven groove of Bahamas to the spiritual depth of Bruce Cockburn—from the breaking-point passion of Glen Hansard to the quirky joy of the Talking Heads. He performs regularly in solo, duo, trio (with saxophone) and full band configurations.
