Folk Singer Carla Muller Celebrates the Season with the Re-Release of Her Holiday Album ‘Snow Came Falling’

Woolwich, Ontario Folk singer Carla Muller proudly announces the re-release of her cherished holiday album ‘Snow Came Falling’, a collection inspired by family, tradition and the spirit of the season. The album returns with renewed focus on its themes of connection, memory and the warmth of shared music, inviting listeners into the comforting world Muller has created through song.

Carla reflects on the journey behind the project with gratitude for the creative community that helped bring her work to life. She says, “This has been an interesting time, finally fulfilling my life-long dream to share my music with the world, with themes of family, love and loss. I write from my heart, for the people I love, and for myself – past and present. It is a good place to be, and I have been so blessed to work with so many talented musicians, all helping to bring my stories to life. The past three years at Canterbury Music Company have been such a learning experience, working with Jeremy Darby and Julian Decorte, and great musicians such as Andrew Ascenzo, Dave Barnes, Burke Caroll, Melanie Conly, Gary Craig, Jessica Deutsch, Davide Direnzo, Jason Fowler, Kevin Fox, Rich Grossman, Robbie Grunwald, Nathan Hiltz, Charles James, Drew Jurecka, Mark Kelso, Juliann Kuchocki, Maury Lafoy, Mark Lalama, Joy Lapps, Dave MacDougall, Ross MacIntyre, Mark Mariash, Scott Metcalfe, Rob Piltch, Chris Quinn, Paul Reddick, Alex Samaras, John Showman, Ernie Tollar, Kevin Turcott, Quisha Wint, and more.”

Originally created as a musical tribute for her father, ‘Snow Came Falling’ features a blend of original compositions and Christmas standards that echo the sounds Muller grew up hearing in her family home. Songs such as “Once Upon A Christmas Eve”, “Snow Came Falling”, “Go And Find Him” and “Sirens Of The Snow” highlight her gentle vocal style and the acoustic textures that frame the album. Each song reflects the intimate atmosphere Muller envisioned when revisiting the carols and memories that shaped her love of music.

The album also includes German and English selections that honour Muller’s heritage. “Weißt du Wieviel Sternlein Stehen / Heaven’s Sky” preserves the lullaby her father sang to her as a child, and the children’s choir led by Quisha Knight brings the piece to life with the excitement Muller hoped to capture. The arrangement emphasizes the song’s tender roots and its place within her family’s Christmas traditions.

Listeners will also find inventive interpretations of seasonal classics, including “Leise, Rieselt Der Schnee (Softly Falls The Snow)”, arranged with Hawaiian guitar, steel drums and a bright choral lift. Muller’s reimagining of the piece offers a fresh, joyful sound that complements the album’s quieter moments. Across the track list, she builds a world shaped by sincerity, warmth and lyrical storytelling.

Among the original works, “I Can Hear The Bells” stands as one of the most deeply personal. Co-written with the late Sean Cunnington, the song reflects themes of faith and resilience. Muller has spoken often about the comfort she finds in its words, which became especially meaningful in the years following the loss of her friend and her sister. Its message of hope and continuity remains central to the album and to this re-release.

Recorded at Canterbury Music Company and mastered by David Travers-Smith, the album showcases an impressive group of musicians whose work supports Muller’s arrangements with elegance and care. Contributions from Jason Fowler, Mark Lalama, Rob Piltch, Ross MacIntyre, Gary Craig, and an expansive roster of instrumentalists and vocalists create the rich sonic landscape that defines the project.

With the re-release of ‘Snow Came Falling’, Muller invites listeners to rediscover the songs that made the album a seasonal favourite. The collection continues to reflect her belief in the power of music to hold memories, honour loved ones and lift the spirit during the holidays. Its blend of originals, traditional carols and heartfelt performances offers a space of calm and reflection that feels especially resonant each December.

Steve Poltz Announces Extensive Canadian Tour For Spring 2026 Supporting New Album ‘Joyride’

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Steve Poltz announces his return to his Canadian roots with an extensive 17-date spring tour across Eastern Canada, kicking off April 15, 2026. The Halifax-born artist continues his momentum following sold-out theatre runs and massive responses at major festivals across Australia and the US, bringing his “good old-fashioned sing-along” show to intimate venues throughout the Maritimes, Ontario, and Quebec. The tour supports his 14th solo album, JoyRide, out January 30, 2026, a collection of “unsaturated, unadulterated art” that captures the chaos and poetry of his creative life.

Recorded in East Nashville with producer Dex Green, JoyRide represents a raw, unfiltered approach to recording. “Capturing me in a studio is like convincing a whirling dervish to stop spinning long enough to sign a bill into law,” says Poltz. The album embraces a spirit of “no seatbelts, no helmets,” featuring “real humans making real noise in real time”. The sessions utilized the legendary rhythm section of Bryan Owings and Christopher Donohue—best known for their work with Emmylou Harris—to create a natural, organic feel.

The new collection highlights Poltz’s penchant for contemporary collaboration, featuring co-writes with industry heavyweights like Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon and Jim Lauderdale. On the track “Love a Little Bigger,” Poltz and Herman turned a spontaneous chorus into a “rowdy” anthem that serves as a “singalong reminder to forgive faster and swim more often”. The album also features “Fixin’ Up,” a track Poltz wanted to capture the essence of a moment in Andy Frasco’s kitchen, where the song stopped Frasco from doing dishes to ask, “What the hell is this? I love it”.

True to his reputation as a “musical trickster,” Poltz infuses the record with humor and storytelling. The track “The Son of God” recounts a dream conversation with Jesus about “buying some Funk and Wagnalls encyclopedias,” while “Hairlift” rhymes “Mao Zedong” with “well hung” in what Poltz calls a “little bit of humor that leaves you with a sideways smile”. The title track, “JoyRide,” is described as a “love song to the road” that feels like “a warm hug after a long road trip”.

About Steve Poltz Steve Poltz is a Canadian-American singer-songwriter and founding member of the indie-rock band the Rugburns. While he is known for co-writing the hit “You Were Meant for Me” with Jewel, Poltz has spent recent years crushing festivals in Canada, Australia, and the US, building a reputation as a prolific live performer. His recent work focuses on contemporary collaborations and high-energy touring, including successful runs with Danny Michel. He continues to capture the hearts of crowds with his unique blend of musicianship and storytelling.

Toronto’s Wavelength Music welcomes a prominent roster of artists, venues and community partners with Wavelength Music Festival + Conference 2026. Proudly independent, homegrown and artist-centric, the festival brings a grassroots-oriented approach that reflects the diversity of the Toronto music scene. For the first time in its 25+ year history, Wavelength will offer a weekend-long series of its acclaimed talks, panels and workshops, aimed at both music industry professionals and the general public. And with the festival now taking place in mid-March, family-friendly March Break programming includes the Synth Petting Zoo, an interactive synthesizer exhibition.

At its apex is its home base Wavelength @ St. Anne’s, an arts hub known for immersive and intimate performances in a gorgeous historic church hall. Building on Wavelength’s key role in the west-end creative community, events will also be held at Lula Lounge, the Art Gallery of Ontario, The Baby G, The Garrison, and InterAccess.

“After celebrating our 25th anniversary all throughout 2025, I’m thrilled to wrap things up with a bow by presenting the lineup for our first-ever Wavelength Music Festival Conference in March of ‘26. Wavelength grew out of the “think globally, act locally” ethos of the ‘90s, and this lineup still embodies that a quarter-century later: with concerts connecting our diverse, vibrant local music community with groundbreaking artists from around the world. 

And what a dream to inaugurate our conference with the book launch for a true ‘90s icon: the one and only Melissa Auf der Maur, musician, photographer, curator, producer, and now author. A Canadian music legend, Melissa exemplifies artist-run culture at the highest level, demonstrating her commitment to the grassroots by running a venue and festival in her adopted hometown of Hudson, New York. We need cross-border co-operation between arts communities now more than ever, and we hope Melissa’s talks and readings will inspire future generations of musicians and organizers.” – Jonathan Bunce (aka Jonny Dovercourt), Artistic/Executive Director and co-founder of Wavelength

Between the Buried and Me Explore Sonic Simplicity on New Single ‘The Blue Nowhere’

Progressive metal pioneers Between the Buried and Me have unveiled the title track from their highly anticipated new album, ‘The Blue Nowhere’, marking the third and final preview before the full record arrives. Departing from their signature complexity, guitarist Paul Waggoner describes the song as an intentional exercise in simplicity built around a basic chordal vamp. While the band is often celebrated for chaotic technicality, this new offering focuses on a singular, immersive vibe with subtle dynamic shifts. The track joins previously released singles “Things We Tell Ourselves In The Dark” and “Absent Thereafter,” which saw the band experiment with everything from sunny jazz-funk to 80s-inspired rock textures.

Out now via InsideOutMusic, ‘The Blue Nowhere’ follows the band’s tradition of genre-blurring journeys while pushing into uncharted territory. Critical reception for the new material has highlighted the group’s refusal to stick to conventions, with reviews noting influences ranging from Van Halen to mid-century modern aesthetics. The album packaging even features a 3D model of a vintage hotel, further emphasizing the thematic depth of the project. As the final piece of the puzzle before the September 12 release, the title track sits as a pivotal moment in the album’s sequence, proving that even in their most restrained moments, the band remains one of the most unpredictable forces in heavy music.

CRAFT RECORDINGS Relaunches HIGHTONE RECORDS with Historic Vinyl Release of ‘Tulare Dust: A Songwriter’s Tribute to Merle Haggard’

Craft Recordings has officially relaunched HighTone Records, the influential label that helped define the American roots landscape throughout the 1980s and 90s. Reimagined as a curated home for blues, country, rockabilly, and gospel, the imprint returns with a mission to bring foundational artists and timeless recordings back into focus for a new generation. The first wave of activity is led by the first-ever vinyl pressing of the acclaimed tribute album ‘Tulare Dust: A Songwriter’s Tribute to Merle Haggard’, out now. Originally released in 1994, the collection was executive produced by Americana icons Tom Russell and Dave Alvin, who sought to honor Haggard’s immense songwriting legacy during a time when his lyrical depth was often overlooked by the mainstream.

Standout moments include Lucinda Williams’ world-weary take on “You Don’t Have Very Far to Go” and Iris DeMent’s stunning rendition of “Big City”—a performance Haggard himself claimed reached depths of sincerity he hadn’t even reached as the writer. The record spans genres to reflect the breadth of Americana, from the outlaw grit of Billy Joe Shaver and Robert Earl Keen to the soulful R&B of Barrence Whitfield and the power-pop sensibilities of Marshall Crenshaw. By pulling from the deep archives of HighTone, Rounder, and Vanguard, the relaunch of HighTone Records promises to be a vital heartbeat for the preservation and celebration of American musical history.
