History

Stewart, from St. Thomas, and Parker, from London (also known as Scotty Scheid), formed Machete Avenue in 2005.[2] They began performing in London and in the Toronto area,[3] and later that year the pair released an EP, The First Cuts. The tracks consisted of vocals, keyboard and acoustic guitar.[4][5]

Machete Avenue took part in Guelph's Wakestock festival in 2007, and won London Music Awards in 2007 and 2008.[6] A second album, "Machete Avenue", was released in 2008. A percussionist, Vince Jerzy, joined the group in 2008. The band performed and recorded together[7] until early 2009, after which Stewart continued to perform alone under the name Machete Avenue.
