Become a Patron of the Arts and help me launch the upcoming new album, Through Train Windows with an advance pre-order!
My Through Train Windows recording is almost complete. The new album was inspired by the cross Canada tour Alice and I did as Artists on Board the Via Rail last fall. I wrote many of the songs last November and December while a Musician in Residence at Banff Centre for the Arts and Creativity. The songs are based on traveling the beautiful, vast Canadian landscape, meeting the diversity of fellow sojourners and the rhythm of the train as it both soothes and inspires.The songs conjure up feelings of nostalgia and dreams exploring the nature and paradoxes of life.
The multi-talented and Juno nominated Adam Popowitz is producing this album and also plays bass and lead guitar on the recordings. Adam produced Gone To The Spirits the album behind my nomination for this year's Western Canadian Music Awards. Drummer Elliot Polsky returns as master percussionist, bluesmeister Huggybear Leonard on blues harp and of course Queen of the Trills Alice Fraser on her elegant keys. I am thrilled to announce that saxophonist extraordinare Steve Hilliam who plays with such greats as Colin James and the R&B Allstars is gracing the album on 4 songs too! This new project is truly shaping up to be something so special! Here are ten ways you can support and be part of this exciting new work:
1. Through Train Windows Digital Download at least 1 week before the official release $10
