High-energy indie alternative — covers, originals, and everything in between.

paper tides is a high-energy, 5-piece indie alternative band from Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, fronted by powerful female vocals and built on tight three-part harmonies. We bring the full package — a crowd-moving covers set and a growing catalogue of original music that's equal parts soulful, punchy, and genre-fluid.

For private events, weddings, and corporate gigs, we deliver an expertly curated mix of Classic & Modern Rock, R&B, Country, Alternative, and Pop — a diverse, crowd-tested repertoire designed to keep the dance floor packed from the first song to the last call.

On the original side, paper tides pulls from indie, rock, funk, and everything in between — think Lake Street Dive energy with a distinctly Ontario edge.

We've had the honour of headlining KW's Oktoberfest at the Concordia Club, performing for the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival, and taking the stage for Woodstock's 125th Anniversary at Cowapolooza.
