From the first soft folk slide in “Goodnight” all the way to the last pluck of the Nashville guitar, SONGS FOR THEO entices it’s listener, hugging and calming the whole soul. The first full studio album from East Coast musician, PETE, is a listening treasure that gingerly tucks you in at night.   The lullabies feel familiar, like your mom’s classic hit list – circa bedtime 1987. The melodies push and pull, massaging the musical mind in a journey you can either get lost in, or lose yourself to. The rich bass (Spencer FitsGerald) vibrates the toes and pats you on the back. Amplified in songs like “Quite the Creation” when the thick double bass wraps itself around you. A swirling saxophone (Sarah Newell) slumber weigh’s heavy on the eye lids in songs like “Bright Eyes,” and “Ga Ga Goo Goo.” The album also boasts a professional mom, and recently promoted Granny, (Ronalda Hutton MacDonald) on the breath taking “Dear Little Baby.” Her beautiful classical Irish sound “lingering at your nursery door now that you’re asleep.”   Inspired by his newest niece, Macie Mac, and influenced by all the wonderful cuddle monsters that blessed the writer’s lives this isolating year: Harrison, Theodore, Mcaleigh. Lyrically, the album brings you to the comfy cloud world that all babies exude, within the “Neverlands” and sweet cupboards of “Mamma Martha.” Pete chases the sunrise with you, while teaching you about that “immature and pure” love. Grab a chair and your favourite cup. “Lemonade is nice on ice sunny day” as long as you’re listening to SONGS FOR THEO.

Hymns of the Heart contains Cianciulli’s stirring, expressive interpretations of timeless classics such as “Amazing Grace”, “How Great Thou Art”, “Nearer My God to Thee”, “Jesus Loves Me”, and “It Is Well With My Soul.” With her new hymn accompanied by a stunning video filmed at Toronto’s Grace Church on the Hill by videographer Arunas Remeza, Cianculli hopes that “My Voice Belongs to Him” will also take a special place in hearts everywhere, much like the others on the release long-have.

“As you take this all into your heart, I hope It will be a healing and blessed experience that washes over you in waves of hope, faith and comfort.”

Toronto journalist Kimberly Hughes says Cianciulli has “the ability to invest any song with authentic emotion no matter the genre or subject matter.”

As for Cianciulli, she calls herself “an unabashed fan-girl of the creative spirit,” and that spirit is truly multi-faceted. She’s a performer, public speaker, award-winning author, mentor, opera company foundress, songwriter and recording artist. The latter being what she is currently focused on with a second album planned for release in 2022 that will be completely composed of original songs highlighting her heart’s true home of Newfoundland, matters of the heart and personal experiences.

A performance tour of Newfoundland and Ontario is also in the works for Cianciulli for 2022.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s Dan Glover has released his latest album, Where Are We Now? under the moniker Outlier.

The 10-track jangle pop meets contemporary rock LP is an amalgamation of the joy and sorrow Dan has experienced in the past few years. And it radiates honesty. This is a guy who isn’t afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve and share a snapshot into his life with his listeners.

“The title ‘Where Are We Now?’ is from a conversation I had with my father. I am dealing with things that happened with him and with my estranged daughter in the past couple of years that are in emotional spots in my mind,” Dan says.

Dan recorded his first album in Whonnok, B.C. at Scott Smith’s (of Loverboy) ranch in 1998 that got positive reviews from the Vancouver Sun and the Georgia Strait. He went to university and returned to Newfoundland in 2004 after graduating. In 2007 he recorded a demo with Josh Ward of Hey Rosetta! on bass. He formed the band Outliers with Adam Burke and Laura Delahunty in 2016. They recorded and released “Outliers: Event Horizon”  on July 22, 2016, the day he got married to Marlene.

After Outliers called it quits, Dan decided to go solo as Outlier. Where Are We Now? should be considered his breakout album.
