SUMMARY:J.P. Cormier
DESCRIPTION:Nobody really knows who J.P. Cormier is for sure. That’s to be expected\, believe me.\nIn 1974 he was a five year old boy\, discovering an innate talent for playing the guitar\, I had a little hand in that\, guiding him through the beginning stages. He learned faster than I could teach.\nBy the mid eighties\, not out of his teens\, he was a sideman for bands and artists of many different genres in Alabama\, Tennessee\, Mississippi\, and all across the deep south. As he travelled and worked he added more and more instruments to his arsenal of capabilities. He became indispensable to the bands he worked for. \nIn the early Nineties\, he became a sideman for one of Canada’s favourite sons\, Stompin’ Tom Connors and also became a staple of the recordings at Studio H in Halifax. His work with the CBC there\, spanned musical\, production and arranging duties. \nAll this before he was 20. \nIn the mid nineties he reentered the musical scene of his beloved East Coast and the Island called Cape Breton. He exploded onto the trad music scene there as a fiddler\, performing some of the most difficult music ever produced by legends like Winston Fitzgerald and Angus Chisholm with a facility that stunned onlookers. Especially those who knew he wasn’t born there\, but born in Ontario to Cape Breton parents. Somehow\, some way\, his music was the real thing\, sounding like he had been steeped continually in a handed-down brew of family tradition from the old country. \nNothing could be further from the truth. \nHis previous gig was in Nashville playing mandolin and banjo in a grammy nominated bluegrass gospel band and performing on the Opry\, and playing television shows with the likes of Waylon Jennings. All those people also thought he was one of them\, American\, reared in the ways of bluegrass\, old time and Americana music. They knew he was from Canada\, but it just didn’t seem possible. \nThen in 1997\, something amazing happened. \nAn album released in Canada\, out of nowhere\, called Another Morning. This time it was him as a songwriter and a lead singer. \nAnd what a songwriter he turned out to be. Some of the performances on that album are literally part of the musical vocabulary today in the East Coast. Songs like the title cut\, and Kelly’s Mountain\, The Molly May (co written with his cousin Gervais) and others. It inspired\, 25 years ago\, some of the biggest names in the business today. People like Dave Gunning\, Matt Andersen\, David Myles\, Joel Plaskett\, all of which will tell you: that record changed things. \nThe Canadian industry thought so too\, and it received a juno nomination and won an ECMA. \nAnd that was just the beginning. \n36 years later after stepping on stage as professional union musician for the first time at the tender age of 13\, JP is still going\, and frighteningly\, still getting better. \n16 albums followed the success of Another Morning\, winning 12 more ECMA’s\, another Juno nomination\, a Canadian Folk Music Award and 5 Music Nova Scotia Awards. Each album was a snapshot of each thing that he can do. There are fiddle albums\, Mandolin\, Banjo\, Guitar\, tribute records\, songwriting collections\, a purely astounding spectrum of talent and musical vision. \nHis catalogue of recordings and the 150 or so records he’s produced on other artists\, resemble the tapestry he weaves in live performance. Where he used to carry 3 and 4 piece bands\, he tours alone now. \nJust him and the instruments. \nPeople still leave his shows confused\, amazed and wondering what they just saw. Did they see a storyteller? A Songwriter? Arguably one of the best guitar players in the business today? Someone who crosses the lines between different instruments like there are no lines? Who was that masked man\, anyway? \nAccolades aside\, and there are many from people like Chet Atkins\, Marty Stuart\, Waylon Jennings\, Gordon Lightfoot; JP sees himself as just a performer. He’s shy\, but has a razor sharp wit and lightning sense of humour. He can be reserved or edgy to the point no return. He speaks for soldiers\, first responders\, other artists\, the forgotten and lost. He speaks sometimes only for himself and refuses rebuttal. \nOf all the things he is\, foremost he is an entertainer. I think one of the best.  After you’ve seen what he does\, I’m certain you will too. \n  \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify

SUMMARY:Willie Stratton
DESCRIPTION:For more than a decade now\, Willie Stratton has been building his good name on stellar sonic shape-shifting and a charismatic\, super charged live show.  The Halifax-based singer-songwriter has proven time and again that he can dive into any of rock ‘n’ roll’s various iterations—heartsick blues\, twanged-up country\, hip-shaking rockabilly\, groovy surf\, anything and everything in between—and emerge\, again\, as a maestro of the style. But on his latest album Stratton seeks synthesis: Drugstore Dreamin’ finds him playing alchemist\, melting down the myriad sounds he’s mastered over the years to create singular sonic gold. As Stratton deftly weaves and mixes musical forms\, Drugstore Dreamin’s intoxicating concoction brings his timeless songwriting to the forefront. \n\nLyrically Stratton delivers a dose of gravitas as-yet unheard in his catalogue\, as he and his characters grapple with the pain of loss\, of growth\, of sallying forth; defeats both intimate and grand in scope; and failure to break old habits. \nFrom the tremlo-heavy highway tune\, “The Way She Holds Me”\, to the album’s heart-wrenching piano ballad “Chasing Rabbits” finale and everything in-between\, true blue craftsman Willie Stratton achieves a harmony of style and elevation of substance that remains rare in our modern world\, resulting in his most moving—and grooving—collection of songs to date \nThe award winning album was produced by Carleton Stone and created with contributions from some of the world’s finest musicians\, including Stone\, Brad Kilpatrick\, Aaron Goldstein\, Andrew Boulos\, Laur Joamets\, Robbie Crowell\, Jon Radford\, Melanie Stone\, Todd Lumley\, and Ashley MacIsaac. Recorded in Nashville at Creative Workshop\, and in Nova Scotia at The Sonic Temple in Halifax and The Loft in Cape Breton. \n“Willie Stratton’s Drugstore Dreamin’ Retro-feeling country rock for fans of Orville Peck and early Johnny Cash sees Stratton earn a spot on our list of the year’s best records.” — The Coast \n\nOpen in Spotify  \nOpen in Spotify  \nOpen in Spotify  \nOpen in Spotify

SUMMARY:Irish Mythen
DESCRIPTION:Bio\nIrish Mythen was born in Ireland and now resides in Charlottetown Prince Edward Island Canada. \n“This Island creates music and musicians\, art and artists. I found a shift to take things more seriously when I moved here.” And she did just that. \nHer latest release\, Little Bones\, gained her recognition around the globe\, including a 2020 JUNO nomination for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year\, seven Music PEI 2020 nominations and two wins — Touring Artist of the Year and Roots Contemporary Recording of the Year\, and a Canadian Folk Music Nomination for Solo Artist of the Year. Her previous self-titled album\, Irish Mythen\, garnered awards and nominations from Music PEI\, East Coast Music Association\, Folk Alliance International and SOCAN. Write-ups in Australian Guitar Magazine\, Rollingstone and a plethora of other print and online media world wide have helped plant Irish firmly on the map of Must-See Artists. \nIrish’s live performances are a thing of raw power\, emotion and a connection with her audience that just has to be seen to be believed. \nRecent Highlights\n\nJuno Awards 2020 – Contemporary Roots Album of the Year nomination\nCanadian Folk Music Awards 2020 – Solo Artist of the Year winner\nMusic PEI Awards 2020 – nominated in seven categories; two wins\nConcert at the Sydney Opera House 2017\nAustralian Tour with Melissa Etheridge 2016\nSaturday night main stage Bluesfest in Australia 2016 and 2017\nClosing the Philadelphia Folk festival 2016\nWinner of Roots Album of the year East Coast Music Awards 2016\nNominated for international folk artist of the year by FAI 2017\n\nDiscography\n\n2019 – Little Bones\n2015 – Irish Mythen\n2012 – Open Here\n2009 – Sweet Necessity\n2006 – Fallen Here\n\nThey Said about Irish\nIrish Mythen is one of the few performers I have seen who bowls me over each time I see her\, she makes me cry with her poignant lyrics and passionate vocals and makes me laugh with her cheeky Irish banter\, I love her work and cannot understand why the whole world doesn’t agree with me. Now living in Prince Edward Island in Canada\, Mythen has played worldwide and at last seems to be gaining the recognition she deserves.\n~ Rachel Griffin\, Brighton and Hove News \nI had no idea what to expect when this five foot nothing lady took the stage\, all smiles and twinkling eyes and guitar. Then\, she opened her mouth and out flew a voice that came straight from the Heavens with all the power and the glory and the truth of someone destined to be a singer. I’ve been blessed with seeing and hearing a lot of talented musicians in my life\, but I have never experienced anyone quite like Irish Mythen. She is a force of nature and a gift from Almighty Herself.\n~ Lisa Schwartz\, Philadelphia Folk Festival \nI was amazed at your ability to hold such a massive crowd as if it were a tiny one.\n~ Dougie MacLean\, Artist \nBy vote\, the three most requested artists to return to Mariposa Folk Festival have been 1) Joni 2) Gordon\, and 3) Irish Mythen\n~ Mike Hill\, AD Mariposa Folk Festival \n  \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \n

SUMMARY:The Town Heroes
DESCRIPTION:Whether a sweaty rock show or an intimate acoustic environment\, The Town Heroes want you to be entertained. \nBorn and raised in small town Nova Scotia\, Mike Ryan and Bruce Gillis have played together for the past 10 years — touring the world\, releasing 5 critically acclaimed albums and winning an array of industry awards. Anthemic choruses\, danceable arrangements\, and tender falsettos highlight their catchy yet thoughtful songs. At heart\, a perfect soundtrack for contemplating life with a bounce in your step. \nMusically\, the band blends their 90’s alt-rock influences with singer-songwriter stylings in the vein of Neil Young or Ryan Adams. On stage they move like intense caricatures – soaked in sweat\, pushing every chord\, note and beat to the limit. A structured wall of sound emerges; familiar yet distinctive. Camaraderie shows in their musicianship\, their song-writing highlights what they are: friends playing music for the love of it\, in it for the long haul. \nThe band released their sixth full length album Home during the summer of 2021. \nHome is a concept album. The entirety of the storyline takes place over a two week period during a summer in Cape Breton. The 9 songs\, told from 3 different perspectives\, tell the chronological tale of coming home\, youth\, summer love\, and ultimately lost love. A father — longing for what he left behind — returns to his hometown after moving to San Francisco for work. A young “local” boy falls for his daughter\, a short romance ensues\, and the romance dies upon her inevitable return home. The album captures the energy and spirit of a youthful summer and coming of age. \n“The songs are filled with beautiful guitars\, great ringing notes over big pulsing washes or strong chords. It’s a post-New Wave sound\, energetic\, melodic and very urgent\, each song filled with drama and the feeling there’s something important being passed on. Topping all this is the passionate voice of Ryan\, often at the top end of his register. He ups the ante on songs such as Only One\, as he grows more intense as the song progresses\, matched by the sharp guitar lines and Gillis’ increased punch. It’s crazy-danceable\, hypnotic and haunting all at the same time\, even euphoric in places.” \n— Bob Mersereau\, The Top 100 Canadian Singles \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify

SUMMARY:Old Man Luedecke
DESCRIPTION:Old Man Luedecke is the recording name of two time JUNO award winning and Polaris prize  nominated singer songwriter Chris Luedecke. A multiple East Coast Music Award winner  known for his high energy banjo driven stompers\, touching guitar ballads and dry humorous  stories\, Luedecke has been making a soundtrack to an authentic life for nearly twenty years.   \nBorn in Toronto and long time resident of the country near Chester Nova Scotia\, Luedecke  began recording in the early 2000’s DIY folk scene of Halifax. He made his two JUNO winning  albums for Black Hen Music in the late 00s with Steve Dawson as producer at Vancouver’s  famed Factory studio. While on a tour of England in 2009\, he met and supported folk roots  legend Tim O’Brien who produced Luedecke’s next two albums. Tender is the Night was  recorded at John’s Prine’s Butcher Shoppe Studio in Nashville in 2012 and 2015’s Domestic  Eccentric was recorded in a cabin Luedecke built himself at his home in NS. 2019 saw  Luedecke recording Easy Money at both the Banff Centre in Alberta and at Hotel2Tango in  Montreal.   \nSongs like I quit my Job at the beginning of his career and the Early Days at the beginning of  his family and dozens of other fan favourites trace a warm line of effort\, sadness and joy and  provide a soundtrack to many peoples’ own progress through adulthood\, touching a rare place  of truth and charm in the holiness of the mundane. His performing style with his easy going  humour and storytelling creates a rare space of hopeful and intimate magic.   \nLuedecke has kept up many worldwide concert appearances\, playing in Europe and around  Canada and the USA and six trips to Australia\, including a memorable tour where his whole  young family travelled with him around rural Queensland for the Festival of Small Halls.   \nIn May 2022 Luedecke was awarded an honorary doctorate from King’s University in Halifax for  his cultural contributions.  \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \n

SUMMARY:Rose Cousins
DESCRIPTION:Bravado is a record for those who struggle with loneliness and those wishing they had more time alone. It’s for those attempting to make their hearts go in more than one direction and those trying to make it go in just one. It’s for those who present a version of themselves to the world that doesn’t quite match how they feel inside. It’s for those who feel misunderstood or unseen. It’s for those who have a hard time saying what they feel\, who hide or can’t let themselves off the hook. It’s for those asking\, “is this it?” and questioning if the character they play in the movie of their lives is authentic or just a role they’ve accepted. It’s for those who have a hard time asking for help and for those desperate for and terrified of change. \n\n “I think about how we’re so disconnected. I get sucked into my phone and forget to go for a walk because of this sense of obligation that I have that convinces me to get as much work done as possible. It feels like we’re not connecting in person as much as we used to and that we may be the loneliest we’ve ever been. We’re missing what’s actually happening\, like\, the earth being on fire.  We get caught in the spin of comparing our lives to social media depictions\, false standards of a good life. I’ve been thinking about how we must be getting close to a breaking point.” \n\nFor Cousins\, this chapter is a personal and professional metamorphosis. She is in the producer chair\, applying her years of experience\, trusting her own ear and pulling thoughtfully from her network of talented colleagues. \n“I booked some studio days in February with the intention of making a single and working with some Toronto based musicians I’d always wanted to including Joshua Van Tassel on drums\, Robbie Grunwald on keys\, Brian Kobayakawa on bass\, Dean Drouillard on electric guitars and with Chris Stringer as engineer. Soon after I realized I was chasing a theme and a feeling I’d been pondering for months and it turned into a whole record of\, perhaps\, my best writing.” \nThe record is flanked by two distinct renditions of the same song\, The Benefits of Being Alone/ The Reprise reinforcing the record’s examination of emotional duality.  The record starts in bravado’s swagger then drops us into The Fraud which wrestles with the desire to stay hidden and be seen. The Time Being (Impending Mortality Awareness Society)\, reminds and invites us to pay attention to what’s most important\, to be present. The album lifts to its highest level of hope and most pop production in The Return (Love Comes Back)\, solidifying Cousins’ collaborative nature by recruiting an international choir of friends to join in at the end. The Lullaby (My Oldest Love) written with Tim Baker (Hey Rosetta)\, touches the desperate need for affirmation\, The Benediction\, a yearning for acceptance. \nRose Cousins’ newest offering\, Bravado\, is the sound of a heart trying to open. It explores the complication of emotion\, its irrational tendencies and its wisdom.  It invites us to feel the courage it takes to be vulnerable.   \n \n  \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify
