We are Mad Gamma, an Ottawa-based folk-rock band composed of members Matt Atchison (drums, bass, vocals), Emma Bulchak-Healy (vocals, piano, synth), and Sam Fisher (guitar, vocals). Drawing inspiration from artists including Hawksley Workman, Pink Floyd, and Fleetwood Mac, our music blends dynamic three-part harmonies and anthemic rock with progressive, folk, and jazz influences. We write about our lived experiences with conflict, mental health, recovery, and personal growth. Our songs seek to find beauty in the unexpected, meaning in moments of darkness, and strength in our struggles.
