Ivan Hartle 

Ivan Hartle (Vancouver, BC) is a musician who molds a vintage sonic aesthetic with modern elements. Pivoting from a US college baseball career into music, he’s been featured as an emerging artist by DailyHive Canada. His bluesy, soul singer-songwriter stylings are drawn from the classic sounds of Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, to contemporary artists like John Mayer and Leon Bridges. 

Performing in notable festivals like Rifflandia, Shipyards, NXNE, and Music BC’s ‘Let’s Hear It’, Ivan’s also toured most of Canada (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto), and opened for artists like Jon and Roy and the Grammy award winning Cedric Burnside.

Alongside CBC and NPO radio 2 airplay, Ivan’s gained over 10.5 million Spotify streams, and landed various editorial placements (Blues Roots, Retro Soul + more). With media coverage from Global News, The Province, and Clash Magazine, he's poised for further success with his new album ‘A Place to Stay.’
