SUMMARY:Joel Plaskett Redux
DESCRIPTION:From rocking Halifax’s Marquee Club to performing for the masses at Massey Hall or touring the country with his father\, Joel Plaskett has forged a reputation as one of Canada’s most engaging performers and respected singer-songwriters. \nPlaskett’s songs are a perennial part of the national playlist\, a fixture on “best of” lists\, and the soundtrack to the lives of faithful fans across the country and around the world. His accolades over a quarter century include a Juno\, numerous East Coast Music\, Canadian Folk and Music Nova Scotia awards\, and two Polaris short list nominations. \nPlaskett’s new project\, 44\, is his most detailed musical weave yet. A sprawling box set comprised of four\, 11-song albums connected visually and thematically\, at its heart 44 is an imaginative rumination on trying to slow down and grow up in a rapidly accelerating world. \n\nPlaskett began his musical career in the early 1990s as a member of alt-rock favourites Thrush Hermit\, recruiting lifelong fans as the band toured North America in a half-size school bus\, setting up their signature neon ROCK & ROLL sign from show to show. \nIn the early 2000s\, Plaskett started touring under his own name with his band\, The Emergency (featuring Dave Marsh on drums since 1999\, and for the last 14 years\, Chris Pennell on bass). Backed by the Emergency and racking up a growing roster of anthemic singalongs\, Plaskett worked his way up from small clubs to opening for Paul McCartney and the Tragically Hip\, and filling larger venues with his own devoted audience. \nPlaskett is a versatile and ever-evolving artist\, at turns delivering intimate and idiosyncratic singer-songwriter fare (In Need of Medical Attention\, La De Da\, The Park Avenue Sobriety Test); incendiary riff-rock (Down at the Khyber\, Truthfully\, Truthfully)\, left-leaning folk rock (Solidarity)\, as well as conceptual epics and off-kilter feats of musical stamina (Ashtray Rock\, Three\, Scrappy Happiness\, 44). \nRecorded to analog tape\, Plaskett’s records reflect his attention to detail\, his dedication to technique\, musical history and craft\, and a sincere and inimitable lyrical style that runs through his diverse and ever-expanding catalogue. \nIn addition to producing most of his own records since 1999\, Plaskett has also set up shop behind the console at his New Scotland Yard studio in downtown Dartmouth\, N.S. His work with artists like Jimmy Rankin\, Two Hours Traffic\, David Myles\, Sarah Slean\, Shotgun Jimmie\, Dennis Ellsworth\, Old Man Luedecke\, Dave Marsh\, Colleen Brown and longtime collaborator Mo Kenney has led to numerous awards for production\, and turned New Scotland Yard into a popular destination for artists looking to develop and document their sound. \nIn front of the studio is The New Scotland Yard Emporium\, where Plaskett has partnered with Halifax mainstay Taz Records to bring a curated selection of records to his adopted hometown\, providing a spot where music fans can congregate to grab a coffee or beer while they dig for records. \nIn a world increasingly connected—and disconnected — by digital mediums\, Joel Plaskett prefers to make his connections the old-fashioned way\, building community at his studio and shop\, dedicating himself to the art and authenticity of songwriting and analog recording processes\, and moving audiences with the electrifying\, uplifting experience of live performance. \nIn all aspects of his work\, Plaskett embraces both the communal and individual experiences music provides.

SUMMARY:Songwriters Circle
DESCRIPTION:Steve MacIntyre is a singer/songwriter from Cape Breton Island.  Describing the things that move him well enough that they move you is his greatest pleasure.  \n“Steve MacIntyre is a rare original. He brings you in\, effortlessly\, to an intensely personal place you may not have expected\, with his heart on his sleeve and a huge\, bear hug of a voice.” – Jamie Foulds\, producer \nTelling stories of love\, loss\, and life\, Steve takes you on a journey; one that is dripping with images of the east coast.  The good and the bad take equal footing in Steve’s songs.  They are songs that describe the things common to the human experience and do so through beautifully crafted words and music.  \nAaron MacDonald \nOut of the woods of Mabou\, a town that beats in the musical heart of Cape Breton\, comes the soulful\, ever captivating\, Americana singer Aaron MacDonald. It’s this small-town lifestyle that inspires songs for this ECMA nominee. Aaron’s matured blend of country and rock\, all lovingly leaning towards roots and blues\, carries the feel of familiarity while experiencing new songs for the first time. The authenticity of MacDonald’s live performances is magically captured as he lays out his life’s story with each song. His music comes across as something between the rhythmic soul of Nathaniel Rateliff mixed with the superb simplicity of John Prine.  \nNamed as one of CBC Music Searchlight’s Top 100 Emerging Artists\, showcasing at ECMA 2022\, nominated for NSMW 2022 Americana Album of the Year\, spots at the 2023 Stan Rogers Folks Festival and Halifax Urban Folk Festival\, this seasoned songwriter is making his mark. \nWoody Woodburn \nBorn & raised in Mississauga\, ON\, Canada\, Woody cut his teeth on the Canadian music industry with his band in the mid 90’s. Drawn to the small town lifestyle of his roots in Cape Breton\, NS\, he now calls his home Rockwood\, ON. After many years struggling to find a place in the corporate world\, he has now found a renewed passion & love for music and will not let anything stand in his way. The music is much more than Top 40. The kind of melodies that linger in your head well after you’ve heard them. He gives life to your own struggles. Like listening to an old friend. Woody is an unassuming\, humble guy that will surprise you with his powerful voice. A voice that combined with the real & “come from the heart” lyrics will leave you more hopeful & inspired in your life. \nSteve Luxton  \nBlurring the lines between alternative rock and roll and renegade folk\, Steve Luxton captures moments in time and frames them in captivating melodies and haunting harmonic changes. Steve draws his sound from classic lyrical greats like Willie Nelson\, the neo-modern country sounds presented by artists such as Sturgill Simpson\, and the soulful energy & grooves of artists like the Bahama’s. Steve’s unique sound and high energy performances are quickly winning over audience members across the East Coast of Canada.

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:Mo Kenney
DESCRIPTION:Kenney’s willingness to unflinchingly pursue their artistic impulses on their own terms has resulted in numerous accolades over the past decade\, including a SOCAN Songwriting Prize\, a nomination for Juno Adult Alternative Album of the Year\, and too many East Coast Music Awards and Nova Scotia Awards to count.  \n2021’s “Covers”\, was an acoustic collection that offered a glimpse into the molecular musical composition of the artist interpreting them. 2022 release\, “With You”\, was written\, played\, and produced by Kenney alone.  2023 will see the release of a new album of original material. \nOne of the most refreshing things about Kenney is that their performance and stories are completely raw.  Their distinctive vocals and outstanding guitar playing are intensified by the simplicity\, their songs relatable yet mysterious.  A unique singer-songwriter\, Mo’s music has been described as both folk and pop. \n2023 touring includes the US\, the UK\, Europe and Canada.

SUMMARY:Dave Sampson Redux
DESCRIPTION:Dave Sampson writes heart-on-your-sleeve folk/pop songs\, delivered with a captivating and\nauthentic voice that could blow down a brick house. His knack for crafting simple ear-worms\nand his high-energy shows have been winning him fans across Canada. He has collaborated\nand shared the stage with some of Canada’s top exports such as Classified\, Alan Doyle\,\nDonovan Woods\, and more. His 2019 EP All Types of Ways\, produced and recorded by\nGrammy award-winning songwriter Gordie Sampson in Nashville\, TN\, earned him two 2020\nECMAs for Country Recording and Rising Star Recording of the Year\, as well as a\nnomination for Songwriter of the Year. The album features several singles which received\nhundreds of thousands of streams on DSPs\, were added to many editorially-curated\nplaylists\, and were placed in several national television series and advertising campaigns.\nIn 2014\, Dave released his anticipated debut album “No Pressure\, No Diamonds” with \nproducers/collaborators Carleton Stone\, Gordie Sampson and Dylan Guthro (Port Cities). \nWith the release of this album\, “ No Pressure No Diamonds” was nominated for Music Nova \nScotia’s Pop Album of the Year\, reached #1 on the East Coast Countdown charts twice and \nreceived national airplay throughout Canada. Dave was also invited to Germany in 2014 with \nsongwriters Carleton Stone and Breagh Mackinnon to participate in a songwriting retreat \nfollowed by a tour. \nFast forward to 2015\, his song “No Pressure\, No Diamonds” was interpolated by Canadian \nHip Hop icon Classified and released as his first single (“No Pressure”) on the billboard \ncharts via Atlantic Records. “No Pressure’ features hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg\, and was \nawarded Gold Record status by Music Canada. Dave also received a songwriting nod on \nClassifieds “Oh No” track on his album “Grateful”\, and Neon Dreams’ singles “Find a Way” & \n“Love Experts” which made it to the billboard EDM top 40. \nDave has also been hand-picked as one of Nova Scotia’s most promising young songwriters \nto take part in the prestigious\, invitation-only Gordie Sampson Song camp for the past 10 \nyears. Through this opportunity\, he has been fortunate enough to collaborate with some of \nCanada’s most sought after writers: Gordie Sampson\, Caitlyn Smith (Nashville)\, Sam Ellis \n(Nashville)\, Thomas AWG Salter (TAWGS)\, and many more. \n  \n“Heartfelt\, energized and emotional\, Dave Sampson has obvious natural talent as a Maritime singer-songwriter. \nRecommended for fans of Joel Plaskett\, David Myles and Hawksley Workman. ” – Grant Lawrence (CBC Music) \n  \n“Not only is Dave Sampson a fantastic singer/songwriter\, but his live performance during both shows (as a band \nand as a solo artist) was second to none. The level of comfort that he and his band have on stage oozes with \nevery movement made.” – HalifaxBloggers.ca @ EAST COAST MUSIC WEEK 2016 \n  \n“Dave Sampson writes a great\, heartfelt pop song and has a warm\, inviting\, laid-back style that will no doubt \nappeal to a wide cross-section of people. It’s not hard to imagine his music lighting up the radio and drawing \ncrowds” – The Scope\, St. John’s\, NL \n  \nOpen in Spotify  \nOpen in Spotify
