Kirk Ramsay aka Giant Hand is a musician from Ottawa Canada.

Things happened fairly quickly. Just two months after picking up a guitar for the first time -- Kirk had adopted the name Giant Hand, and was playing his first ever show, opening for Vancouver band, Immaculate Machine in the basement of a record store. A month later he found himself opening for Born Ruffians. And then a few months later, he played his third show ever at the prestigious Ottawa Bluesfest.

Over the year since, Kirk has garnered opening slots for a number of high-profile Canadian acts, including Handsome Furs, Ohbijou, Human Highway, Bruce Peninsula, Timber Timbre and Azeda Booth. As well as opening for the one and only Daniel Johnston. Giant Hand also played two shows at Pop Montreal 2009.

On the strength of his demo, influential Canadian music blog i(heart)music raved that "Giant Hand might just be one of the most interesting, unique and exciting artists to come out of Ottawa in a very long time", while a reviewer for Exclaim! said of his live show that "(his) songs pierced the audience with innocence, clarity and a vulnerability that lesser artists often fake". Giant Hand was nominated for "Best Band", "Best New Artist", and "Best Album" in Ottawa Xpress' "Best of 09" Readers Poll.
