Biography
Ken Tizzard and Music For Goats
The third track from THE DAGG SESSIONS (Sept 17, 2023)
“Pain Free Living (I Like To Get High”)
“What started as a fun ‘kitchy’ stoner tune, “Pain Free Living” balances catchy lyrics and a fun sing/song chorus while addressing reasons for escape via excess in medications from weed and alcohol to anti-depressants and mood balancing drugs.”
Ken Tizzard and Music For Goats formed in 2016. Music For Goats consists of Ken Tizzard on guitar and vocals, alongside talented Canadian musicians; Ken Grain (Bass), Neil Lucy(guitar) and Steve Dagg (drums).
Their sound is a mix of country, rock and folk, with lyrics that are often introspective and deeply
personal. Sadly, Music For Goats' drummer Steve Dagg passed away in 2023. Dagg was a highly respected musician in the Canadian music scene, having played with a number of notable acts throughout his career. His contributions to the band will be greatly missed, and his legacy as a talented drummer and musician will live on.
With the passing of Steve the band has decided to release a series of singles under the title
“THE DAGG SESSIONS” which will include all the drum tracks recorded with Steve before his passing in March of 2023.
"Drunk Stoned and Broke,” THE DAGG SESSIONS first single (May 6, 2023)," is a catchy and upbeat track that tells the story of a wild night with friends and enemies and the wellknown consequences. The song features Tizzard's signature Gretsch sound and powerful vocals, along with a driving drum beat and infectious guitar riffs.
“Dollar A Day,” The second track from THE DAGG SESSIONS (July 4, 2023) Inspired by the stylings of early Dylan, this track leans away from the ‘country-vibe’ of “Drunk Stoned and Broke” which alludes to the wide berth of styles which will appear on this album. Lyrically this
song touches on themes of work, money and what we sacrifice to simply survive today.
