The gap-toothed Canadian strummer certainly has a unique style sense—you may have seen him posing for the now-bankrupt American Apparel in some sort of white leotard—but never mind that. The man can croon. Dishing out a new record every year, DeMarco keeps crowds young and old happily entertained with his Harry Nilsson–meets–Bob Dylan sound.
