Debut album from country/gospel music artist, Jason R. Martin!
This album has a unique selection of songs that depict real people and their lives. Some songs tell tales of tragedy, and chronicle the deep roots of the small town of Norris Arm, Newfoundland. In doing so, they remind us that we should live each moment like there’s no tomorrow, because time moves by so quickly.
Mike Murley – saxophone
Jim Vivian – bass
Ted Quinlan – guitar
Terry Clarke – drums
Jim Vivian has been at the forefront of music making in Canada for over 25 years, with more than 25 recordings nominated for a Juno. Collaborators include national artists Mike Murley, Don Thompson and Steve Amirault, international artists including Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone and Dave Leibman.
Originally from Newfoundland, Jim moved from St. John’s to Toronto in 1979 to pursue classical bass studies, and during the early 1980′s began focusing more on jazz and improvised music.
An engaging, lyrical saxophonist, Mike Murley is one of Canada’s most celebrated and well-respected jazz artists. Currently active as a leader in various formations from duo to septet, Murley also maintains a busy schedule as both a sideman and an educator as Chair of the University of Toronto Jazz Program. He has played on twelve Juno Award-winning recordings since 1990, most recently in 2013 for his trio recording Test of Time (Cornerstone Records) and in 2017 for Metalwood’s Twenty (Cellar Live).
An experienced teacher, Jim is presently on faculty at the University of Toronto, York University, and the Humber College Community School
Sarah Harris (guitar), Jack Etchegary (guitar), and Liam Wright (bass). Property’s songs are mainly guitar riffs with electronic backbeats born out of an RPM (Record Production Month) project with Jack Etchegary last February. Why you need to hear Property: edgy pop music with intricate musicality and thoughtful lyrics.
This is their first full-length album.
Third full length album from Newfoundland alternative band, Roundelay.
Latest album from Weary (Kate Lahey). The music is moody, effectively sparse, and grabs ahold of your very core. The sentiments are elevated by the rare quality of her soul-soothing vocals. “Bruise” is the kind of song you can love upon first listen, and leave on repeat for a silly-long spin.
Rock Steady is the ninth studio project for Rawlins Cross and one of the most personal, with six original tracks being written by the band.
Rawlins Cross, one of Canada’s most accomplished and beloved Celtic bands, was formed in St. John’s in the late 1980s by songwriting brothers Dave Panting (guitar and mandolin) and Geoff Panting (keyboards and accordion) and Ian McKinnon (highland pipes and tin whistle). Since then, Rawlins Cross has been at the vanguard of the fusion of Celtic traditional music with the rhythms of rock, pop and worldbeat music. Equally at ease with a soulful Highland Air (MacPherson’s Lament) or a raucous party song (Colleen, Reel ‘n’ Roll, Rock Steady), Rawlins Cross never fails to electrify its faithful fans. Over its nearly 30 year run, Rawlins Cross has always been a “fan favourite” on the North American and European concert and festival circuits.
