Raised in Peterborough, the self-produced multi-instrumentalist and songwriter was drawn early to the architects of late-20th-century pop, pairing energetic performances with a deep commitment to the craft behind the songs. Since picking up a guitar at twelve, Konkle has built a rich catalogue through years of patient writing and live refinement at hometown venues like Jethro’s Bar + Stage, Sadleir House, and the Pig’s Ear Tavern, developing a reputation for sharp songwriting and magnetic live shows. Alongside his work as a performer, Konkle has become an active studio collaborator within the Peterborough music community. In the latter half of 2025, he produced a handful of songs for indie-folk band VANCAMP and also co-produced a full-length album by Edmonton songwriter Ellie Heath alongside acclaimed Canadian producer Hawksley Workman, scheduled for release in mid-2026. Now releasing music under his own name for the first time since fronting the band Tapes In Motion, Konkle blends modern indie pop with a vintage personality, guided by thoughtful production and a sharp pop sensibility.
