SUMMARY:Tim Baker (of Hey Rosetta!) with The Weather Station
DESCRIPTION:At the end of 2017\, twelve years after their inception\, the multi-award winning band\, Hey Rosetta! went on hiatus\, after selling 10\,000 tickets to five farewell shows. For the band’s principal songwriter and lead vocalist Tim Baker\, this was the start of a new chapter.\nOn his debut solo album Forever Overhead\, Baker warmly welcomes you to it. The first words we hear him sing\, on the first single “Dance\,” is akin to a toast: “here’s to the other side.” What follows are eleven songs that centre on kinship and show that Baker’s sharp songwriting\, the heart of Hey Rosetta!\, is as affecting as ever. \nWhen crafting the album\, Baker drew from 70s songwriters\, like Jackson Browne and Randy Newman\, whose music filled his childhood home and from his contemporaries (Feist\, Leif Vollebekk\, The Barr Brothers). Produced by Marcus Paquin (The National\, Local Natives)\, Forever Overhead blends piano ballads with ebullient folk-rock tracks featuring Liam O’Neill (Suuns)\, Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station)\, as well as Mishka Stein & Joe Grass (Patrick Watson). \nIn the album’s opening track “Dance\,” Baker moves alongside soft piano chords as buoyant\, 70s pop style instrumentation and a piercing guitar riff steadily build\, bolstering his words of longing. He sings of connectivity and the tender emotions that are coupled with glances across a gym’s confetti-lined linoleum floor\, the air thick with potential. Like Forever Overhead as a whole\, Baker brings beauty and hope into listeners’ lives. \nAges: 19+ \n  \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \n \n

SUMMARY:Villages
DESCRIPTION:Villages is an indie folk group heavily inspired by the spirit of the Maritimes. However\, creating music inspired by their Cape Breton roots seemed like a long shot when the members first started performing together. Back in the late aughts\, Matt Ellis\, Travis Ellis\, Jon Pearo and Archie Rankin formed the indie rock group Mardeen and fled Cape Breton Island for Halifax. Aiming to participate in a music community with a penchant for melodic indie rock\, the group strove to carry on the torch of their heroes in Sloan\, The Super Friendz and Thrush Hermit.\nAfter releasing several acclaimed albums and EP’s\, there was a turning point in that endeavour. “One late night\, a few years back\, a singalong of Rankin Family tunes broke out” says vocalist Matt Ellis. “I remember saying to the rest of the band that we need to write something that evokes the sound of home.” Soon after that night\, Ellis wrote just that song. It was called “Hymn After Hymn” and it captured the Maritimes musically and lyrically in a new and authentic way. This song was followed by a burst of creative output and the group quickly jumped into the studio to record these songs with east coast stalwart and producer Joel Plaskett. “Joel has such a strong knowledge of folk music from the UK and Ireland\, he really brought our songs to life”. The problem was\, these new songs had nothing in common with the edgy indie rock that Mardeen is known for. These songs needed their own home. \nInspired by an essay that comic artist Kate Beaton wrote about her hometown in Cape Breton\, the project was named Villages. The group released their first single in October 2016 and have been writing\, recording\, and touring in the time since. \nIn March 2019\, Villages released their self-titled debut album. Recorded at their home studio in rural Nova Scotia with producer Thomas Stajcer (Joel Plaskett\, Erin Costello)\, and mixed by Kevin Ratterman (My Morning Jacket\, Basia Bulat)\, Villages solidifies the group’s vision in capturing the spirit of the Maritimes in a fresh\, yet familiar way. Combining Celtic and British folk music influences with the atmospheric arrangements of groups like the War on Drugs and Fleet Foxes\, Villages’ debut record is just the first step of a journey into rediscovery and reinvention. \nAges: 19+ \n  \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify

SUMMARY:Lucy MacNeil
DESCRIPTION:The only girl in a family of five boys\, Lucy MacNeil can be described as the heart of The Barra MacNeils. Her crystalline vocals are immediately identifiable with the group’s quintessential sound.\nFor Lucy\, music has always had a heartbeat and she recalls it as the centre of her childhood\nhome where family\, neighbours and visiting musicians were often known to gather — the perfect rhythm of everyone’s feet tapping with the music would lull her to sleep on many nights. \nLucy’s own musical journey officially began when she was 9 years old\, but even before that she was step dancing alongside her mother\, a well-known local dancer and teacher. Her career with The Barra MacNeils has seen her opening tours for international stars such as Celine Dion\, Kenny Rogers and fellow Canadian Rita MacNeil. Yet\, with all the many rich and rewarding experiences Lucy’s fondest memory of performing took place in grade 10 at Memorial High School. A contestant in the winter carnival pageant\, she put together a performance for the talent portion that drew on all her talents – singing “The legend of the St. Anne’s Reel” playing the fiddle between verses and then ending with a step dance routine. The remarkable effort would lead to her very first standing ovation. \nA devoted mother of two talented young girls\, Lucy finds time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures\, from sharing recipes with her mom\, and getting car care advice from her dad\, chatting with old friends or dancing to the infectious latin rhythms in her ZUMBA class. Lucy MacNeil looks forward to discovering where music and her extraordinary life will lead her next. \nAges: 19+ \n  \n \n \n  \n

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. \nAges: 19+ \n  \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify
