Toronto’s Lenny Bull is no pretender, although her latest batch of songs does recall the power and pop-rock poise of Chrissie Hynde — guitar-centric rock that’s fun and infectious on one hand, biting and hard-edged on another. Professional ballet dancer, country singer (Torero), and now rocker, charismatic Lenny is no stranger to the stage, bringing big energy to each live appearance. Her blend of post-punk meets new wave is reminiscent of Blondie or the Pretenders, and she puts on a smashing live show. Lenny has shared the stage with acclaimed artists such as Daniel Romano, Caroline Rose, and Skye Wallace. In 2023, Lenny’s sights are set on touring Canada, Europe and gearing up to record her debut LP.

“Bull is pure fringe-swinging swagger on her sophomore EP Strange Vacation, a hazy burst of rollicking throwback power pop calling to mind the Replacements’ heavy-lidded cool and the Stones’ loose-limbed danger“ – Exclaim!
