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

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
