Hi norine
I hope you are in the midst of beginning a wonderful holiday season! December marks the first anniversary of Through Train Windows release. And what a wonderful ride this year has been in getting the music out there!  To mark this special occasion I have a very super special for you check it out here.https://norinebraun.net/free-album-shipping-order

I have had amazing support from Creative BC Amplify Program and the Government of BC for this recording and the music video Sleeping Buffalo. I am grateful for the tremendous support from First Peoples Cultural Council and BC Arts Council for the Crosses and Sweetgrass music video too. I have met amazing artists and lovely people on this journey of making music and my heart is so full. 

The album has been fortunate to receive stellar reviews including:
"delicious alt-rock with bluesy country hues. Braun’s voice dazzles with its smooth, pristine textures." -  Randall Radic tattoo.com

“Inspired by her 2018 cross-Canada trip as artist-on-board the Riding the Rails tour with partner Alice Fraser, Braun offers up a set of literate and atmospheric folk songs. Sleeping Buffalo sets a solemn melodic mood to open what quickly becomes rocking. The driving boogie of Jerkwater Town snarls while Climbing Table Mountain just pulses with a jazzy undertone. Braun has really great phrasing, smoothly rolling over her varied material.” Stuart Derdeyn The Vancouver Sun.

“Through Train Windows is a distinctly Canadian musical mosaic that will send the listener on a journey they will want to take again and again.” Mariko Margetson UK's largest Folk Publication Folk Radio and Vandela Magazine

 “Braun injects a breezy, bluesy cool into the realm of folk narration.” Jonathan Frahm - For Folks Sake

To celebrate this first anniversary release I am offering Through Trains Windows as a  free album for you just cover the shipping!!  This offer is available for a limited time.

I wish you and yours a fantastic, loving and joyful Christmas,  a peaceful Winter Solstice and many great things in 2020!
Much love,
Norine

Brand New Music Lyric Video for Climbing Table Mountain.

I hope you are beginning a wonderful new year! Here is the first music video for Climbing Table Mountain from Through Train Windows, it is a very cool lyric video so you can sing along with me! Check it out! 

And 2 new reviews  are in this week too! From BC's esteemed Rektchords Magazine, Slone Fox says, "With a soft acoustic, gentle harmonica and Braun’s powerful voice, every track on Through Train Windows has the uncanny ability to make you nostalgic for places you’ve never been. It also immediately makes you yearn for home, even if you’re physically already there."

ALL the way to shortandweetnyc where Ralph Greco writes, "Although Through Train Windows ends with a rollicking upbeat title track for me, the plodding “Heaven Only Knows,” works better. Unlike anything else of these 13, with a descending chorus line, Polsky hitting laconically, and droplet bass notes and slide from Adam Popowitz, I love how at times things seem to be breaking down into a discordant mess, then right themselves again. This is a weird, wonderful, great tune on an incredible album."

Here's to a terrific 2019! Thanks for reading and watching.

Love,
Norine
