      • Manager of Great Lake Swimmers and Founder of Weewerk Records as well as Tony Dekker of GLS and others.
      • Weewerk is an independently owned/operated record label, artist management, and promotions company based in Toronto, Canada founded in November 2002 as a series of art-and-music salon events organized by indie-rock defender Phil Klygo (Skull Geek, teenage USA recordings, Canadian Music Week) and visual artist / curator Germaine Koh in their Toronto apartment above the noteworthy indie music store, Rotate This, on Queen St. West. The underground spirit of (weewerk)ís endeavours quickly drew a devoted and wide-ranging following. As an extension of their DIY ethos, (weewerk) helped the young alt-folk artist Great Lake Swimmers release their haunting self-titled debut album in March 2003, and were immediately heralded as a fresh new record label within the independent Canadian music world. Up to the challenge, (weewerk) subsequently released records by The Barmitzvah Brothers and 2009 Polaris Nomineeís Elliott Brood to resounding success in 2003/04. Since then, (weewerk) has released 30 albums with 16 artists, featuring some of the most interesting Folk, Roots, Blue Grass, Alt-Country musical acts from Canada and beyond.† ìIt is now tougher for Canadian artist-run co-ops and indie record labels to make it since they are on the same playing fields with Sony BMG Canada and Universal Music Canada who also have artists applying for funding from FACTOR, VideoFACT and other Canadian Funding agencies. (weewerk) is one suchindie label that has been able to keep up with the Canadian majors as well as maintain their artistic integrity. ~ MuchMusic Blog
