Former Lovers

Former Lovers are a band from Saskatoon (by way of Prince Albert) making big noise with even bigger feelings. With LJ Tyson on vocals, Cale Hretsina on drums, and Colin Klassen on guitar, they blend nostalgic vibes with a modern edge—think 90s rom-coms, your dad’s old mixtapes, and the kind of confessions you only make on long drives. Their debut single 'small talk' cracked the Top Ten on the Indigenous Music Countdown (Sirius XM), and they kicked off 2025 with a Western Canadian tour that turned heads and stole hearts. Former Lovers’ crowd-favorite follow-up single, 'Guys Cry', has made waves on radio, recently securing a spot in the Top 10 of the SiriusXM Indigenous Music Countdown. Catchy, cathartic, and just the right amount of chaotic—Former Lovers are your new favourite band from the prairies. Sad songs never sounded so good.
