The Giving Style is Justin Sicile’s vision for a chunky, psychedelic folk outfit that nourishes its community with a playfulness and sincerity that it can get cosy with.

Since 2021, Sicile has been writing and recording songs with older/isolated individuals to reduce loneliness. The final outcome is Pear Person Tackles Loneliness backed by Arts Council England; a 6 song mini-album jam-packed with lo-fi jazz/blues licks and singable motifs, sung by Sicile and his older songwriter friends. 

TGS' first-ever single release was 'By the Horns' in 2015, which was accompanied by an animated music video created by Stella Salumaa. In 2017 Sicile met producer Adam Skinner who helped him refine and elevate musical parts to Monster Tracks for Bread Lovers, which was recorded in a small warehouse studio. Shortly after release, the lead single 'Blue Hair Special' was picked up by The Vanity Project's (band) radio show. 

In 2018 MTFBL was followed up by the one and only single 'Tagine on the Table', which Chris Ballew from the band Presidents of the United States of America deemed, ''Tagine on the Table' kicks booty in a very swiny, sultry and slinky sort of way that I love!' 

The Giving Style live show is energetic, light-hearted, and involves calming/transcendental instrumental pieces that Sicile has crafted and worked out playing in the streets. Sicile is joined by a full band in order to do the record justice. 

Be greeted and cocooned by the warm, excitable sound of The Giving Style.
