The band came together on the set of ABC's "Once Upon a Time" whilst sitting around on set, Ian Gregson and Adrian Essiet decided to pool their resources and work together to create some new sounds.

WINTERCOAST is a five-piece folk/rock band from Burnaby, BC, and though they might be a tiny little baby band, they've got a big sound and huge energy. The band has only been around since January 2011 but they are overjoyed by the fact that their music has already reached so many people around the world, and especially here in Vancouver. Trees, Homes & Better Places EP came out last summer and they are working hard to release something very soon. Wintercoast will be getting all of Gastown dancing and singing!
