​

A vision of unison and love arrives on stage with intoxicating, searing vocal harmonies and relentlessly catchy pop-rock melodies. From the remote shores of Eastern Cape Breton, music became a means of expression for Tim Hatcher. After meeting his partner Brandon MacDonald, the pair dropped out of university and moved to Dartmouth to pursue a career in music. After graduating from the NSCC Music Arts program, Tim formed Good Dear Good with Brandon and his classmates in the fall of 2018.

​

Since the band's inception, Good Dear Good has quickly become an East Coast favourite, performing at festivals such as Sommo, NXNE, Halifax Jazz Fest, East Coast Music Awards, and Nova Scotia Music week, as well as opening for heavy hitters like Broken Social Scene, Jamie Fine, Classified, Rêve, and Aysanabee. 

 

Lyrics are delivered with an endearingly infectious positivity on stage, but with deeper reading, a sense of pensive gloom permeates the words. After the success of their multi-award winning debut EP "Arrival", Good Dear Good has released their much-anticipated second studio EP "Sook", which was recorded and produced by Daniel Ledwell and released on September 26th, 2025
