Watch the music video on YouTube. Come soon to iTunes; keep watching! Visit The Yukon Experience for more information. The lyrics:

Live in Peace
Live in Peace
Find your place and you will
Know that you are free

Know yourself
Love easily
Find your place and you will
Know that you are free

Live in Peace!
Live in Peace!
Live in Peace and we will
Know that we are free

Love yourself
Laugh easily
Find your place and you will
Know that you are free

I wanna let it all out
I wanna let it all go
And find out who I can be
I see the same thing in you
We gotta look in our hearts
And find our destiny
Frozen by the dark
Light it with your Soul
It holds the spark

Live in Peace!
Live in Peace!
Live in Peace and you will
Know yourself
You will laugh most easily
You will find your place and you will
Know that you are free

Find your place and
Find your place and
Find your place and
Find your place

And you will know that you are free

Celebrating Success, Preparing for the Future

October 9th, 2009

Oh my goodness. It was a busy summer. Apologies for the lack of updates since March. That's what happens when you are proposing before an audience, workshopping in Whitehorse during summer solstice, playing piano outdoors, and trudging a folding bicycle by train to Niagara. It takes up a lot of time! Here's a list of recent and upcoming projects so we're all on the same page:

• The Big Idea Cabaret: I Like Boys! at Statlers, May 8 & 9 2009

• Divine Dinner Music at Statlers, May 27 & July 22 2009

• Workshop presentation of "A Dry Spell" and "Lamentation", Sour Brides Theatre, Whitehorse, June 2009

• New music for "The Menaechumus Twins", Theatreworks' Stone Circle Project, July–August 2009.

• My review from Eye Weekly: "Bryce Kulak provides melodramatic underscoring and tuneful music hall-like songs." Just what I was going for!

• Music intern for "Maria Severa" by Paul Sportelli and Jay Turvey at the Shaw Theatre Festival, Niagara-on-the-Lake, August–October 2009

• Cabaret with Colin Maier for HarbourKIDS!, October 10-12 2009

• "Dark Places", Les Coquettes Nouveau Burlesque, Revival, October 25 2009

There are also stirrings of a new recording; nothing official yet, but keep checking back!

Blogged!

January 27th, 2009

Bryce has been "blogged!" He describes the experience as "warm, damp, and slightly messy, but not unpleasant." Read about his recent performance at Hugh's Room on Amanda Campbell's excellent theatre blog. Scroll down the blog a little further (just a little further down, please) to read about The Black Rider.

January 24th, 2009

Bryce was recently featured as a guest on CBC Radio One's national program GO!, hosted by Brent Bambury. He performed two songs live, including the new "You're My Man (Dream Song)", that are now downloadable from GO!'s website. A YouTube video by a fan has also been posted. Check out that enormous piano!

Anderson/Kulak Collaboration

January 1, 2009

Further to the story below, Bryce and D.C. Anderson (veteran cabaret singer-songwriter and Phantom cast-member) have collaborated on a new song called "What's Happened Since". The song was recorded by D.C. in New York for his forthcoming album. Visit D.C.'s website, where D.C.'s interpretation of Bryce's song "Tin Can Telephone" is currently featured as song of the month.

CBC: Burgeoning Bryce

July 9th, 2008

Jurgen Gothe, host of CBC Radio 2's popular show DiscDrive, played Tin Can Telephone today. Thanks to the magic of computers and the internet, you can listen to a clip along with Mr. Gothe's lovely commments here.

Phantom Sings Kulak, + Bonus Tidbit

April 1, 2008

D.C. Anderson, a performer in the U.S. touring company of The Phantom of the Opera, has recorded Bryce's song Tin Can Telephone and released it on his new CD, Our Story. You can buy the CD through D.C.'s website; all the songs are great! Bryce is awfully flattered to have the song recorded by such an accomplished artist.

Here's a neat tidbit: if you click on the bottom right corner of the music player on this page, you can open it in a popup window. Then continue listening as you browse this site, or other sites on the whole wide internet!

I know we've been out of touch for a while, but tonight is Chinese New Year, so we wish you 恭喜发财 (Gōngxǐ fācái)!

Thank You

December 1, 2007

What started out as a recital planned for a church in Edmonton became a full-blown concert with lights, sound, and stripping in a legitimate theatre, followed by a mini-tour of Alberta. Bryce would like to thank Amy Seeley, everyone who made the Edmonton CD Release possible, the media who agressively publicized it, and everyone who came to see him sing and act silly. It was a truly memorable evening. Let's do it again soon! If you missed the concert in Edmonton, be comforted by the news that select footage of the event will be released on YouTube in the coming weeks. To get a taste of Bryce in the meantime, click here to Google him. You know you want to.

UPDATE: Edmonton-Bound!

November 1, 2007

At the beginning of October, it was Bryce's two-year anniversary of moving to Toronto. It's about time, therefore, that he make his first visit back to Edmonton! Bryce will be playing a CD release recital there on

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH

Thanks for waiting so patiently. Bryce is pleased to announce this event, and especially thrilled that it will be opened by the sweet and sexy songstress Amy Seeley, a beloved Edmonton ex-pat flying back from Portland. The venue is The Westbury Theatre at the Transalta Arts Barns, and tickets are for sale through the Fringe Theatre Adventures box office (online or in person). Use a red Sharpie on your "Firemen 2007" calendar!

I Can Do It All by Myself!

August 23, 2007

All grown up, Bryce can now update his own gosh-darn website! (Special thanks to his gorgeous web mistress, and the glorious cellist on both his albums, Hannah Donovan.) You can expect more regular updates to the site from now on, so check back often. Of late, Bryce was a performer in The Spiegel Show in Toronto, a completely mad cabaret-vaudeville-burlesque extravaganza with singing, dancing, tasteful vintage stripping, trapeze, drinks and grub. The show was extended thrice to the delight of sold-out crowds. You can visit the Gallery page to see pictures of Bryce performing in the Spiegeltent, shirtless no less! Toronto is crossing its collective fingers that the Tent will make a return next summer...In other news, there are at least two major theatre projects for which Bryce will be composing the scores, so keep your hungry eyes on this space, or quickly and painlessly subscribe your own darn self to the Bryce Kulak Newsletter. ALL of us here at brycekulak.com thank you for visiting!

3 for 3

You may not be aware of it, but you've already fallen in love with Jeff Kulak, Bryce's younger brother. He is the clever little man who devised the illustrations for both of Bryce's albums, and in fact did the entire stunning design for Tin Can Telephone. A graduate of the University of Alberta's art and design program, he also studied for a year at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. As a graphic designer and illustrator, he leaves his indelible, beautiful, quirky mark on everything he creates. Jeff freelances in Edmonton, and you'll surely want to check out his website. A bit more trivia: Kara, the third and final of the Kulak offspring, has toured the world as a dancer with Edmonton's Shumka.
