on Volt Continue To Inspire And Challenge On ELECTRO MELODIER Out July 30

Son Volt, one of the most influential bands of their generation, has announced the July 30th release of their tenth studio album, Electro Melodier (Transmit Sound/Thirty Tigers). The title, taken from the names of two vintage amplifiers from the late ‘40s and early ‘50s, also describes the album’s unique blend of folk, country, blues, soul and rock.

The follow-up to 2019’s acclaimed release Union, Electro Melodier finds band founder Jay Farrar’s unparalleled songwriting as poignant and intelligent as ever. Electro Melodier touches on the thought-provoking issues that impact us all, including the pandemic, love, and the inevitable passing of time. The current political divide makes its appearance on the album as well. “I wanted to concentrate on the melodies which got me into music in the first place,” says Farrar. “I wanted politics to take a back seat this time, but it always seems to find a way back in there.”

“Livin’ in the USA” echoes protest songs of old, highlighting both the breakdown of our culture and planet. “Share a little truth with your neighbor down the block, We’ve all got fossil fuel lungs while we run out the clock,” Farrar sings. “The Globe” reverberates with the tensions that arise with the fight for equality. “People climbing skyward stairs, Deciders of their fate, You can see it everywhere, Change is in the air…” The sentimental “Diamonds and Cigarettes,” featuring vocals by country singer Laura Cantrell, lovingly pays homage to his wife, while “Lucky Ones” is a weary tale of gratitude.

Electro Melodier features band members Mark Spencer (piano, organ, acoustic slide, lap steel, backing vocals) Andrew DuPlantis (bass, backing vocals), Chris Frame (guitar) Mark Patterson (drums, percussion). Son Volt will take Electro Melodier on the road with select tour date in summer and fall.

Farrar started Son Volt in 1994 after leaving the seminal group Uncle Tupelo, whose No Depression album helped define the alt-country and Americana genre. Son Volt’s debut Trace was heavily lauded and remains a defining document of the ’90s alt-country movement. Two decades later, the group continue to decidedly capture the times while breaking new musical ground on Electro Melodier.

The Tragically Hip set to perform with Feist at The 50th Annual JUNO Awards on CBC

The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) announced today that 15-time JUNO Award-winning band and Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees, The Tragically Hip, will perform with singer-songwriter, Feist during The 50th Annual JUNO Awards. The performance from Toronto will be broadcast on Sunday, June 6, 2021 airing nationwide at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBC TV, CBC Gem, CBC Radio One, CBC Music and streaming globally on CBCmusic.ca/junos.

“We’re really happy to be performing on The 50th Annual JUNO Awards,” said the band. “We’ve known Leslie Feist for over 20 years, having toured together in 1999. We are all huge fans and Gord loved her. It’s an honour to be able to play one of our songs with her. It’s been such a difficult year for our fellow musicians, we wanted to do something to honour them in a way that would make Gord smile.”

“I had a chance to tour with The Hip early on in my touring life, for something like a year,” said Feist. “Getting to be a fly on the wall of a camp that operated with such warmth and community by day, and then watch them transform and transcend every night to touch so many people was my first big education. I was a kid in their midst and I’m touched to be invited into the clan now, to play alongside them. The only way I’m making any sense of it is to imagine I’ll be singing backups for Gord, and know my 20-year-old self wouldn’t believe it. Like the rest of Canada, I’ll be so happy to hear these kings of song play again, and am very honoured to join them as they receive their Humanitarian Award.”

The Tragically Hip are also set to receive the 2021 Humanitarian Award Presented by Music Canada, which will be presented to them by Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees and rock icons, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush. The Humanitarian Award recognizes outstanding Canadian artists or industry leaders whose humanitarian contributions have positively enhanced the social fabric of Canada and beyond.

The band’s philanthropic pursuits have left a lasting impact on the lives of many across the globe through their help in raising and donating millions of dollars for various social and environmental causes including Camp Trillium, The Canadian Cancer Society, the Sunnybrook Foundation, the Special Olympics and more.

Jason Isbell Now Has His Own Signature Telecaster
Fender Musical ­­Instruments Corporation (FMIC) today released the Jason Isbell Custom Telecaster, marking Isbell’s first collaboration with the iconic guitar brand as part of its Artist Signature Series. The four-time Grammy award winning singer-songwriter worked closely with Fender on the design, ensuring his signature Telecaster came equipped with all of the same modifications – even his known Road Worn® markings – that the Americana guitarist has sought out for touring and recording throughout the years.
“This collaboration with Fender is huge for me. I’ve owned and played Fender guitars since I was 12 years old and I consider their instruments to be a big part of my musical journey,” said Jason Isbell. “I wanted to create a road-worn version of my go-to Telecaster guitar because you can enjoy the instrument without worrying so much about scratching it up! When I was a kid and got my brand-new Fender [guitar] for Christmas, just holding the thing terrified me until it had a few dings and scratches on it. Then I felt more comfortable with it.”
Known for his impressive guitar chops, incisive lyrics and powerful voice, Jason Isbell has emerged as a leading face of the Americana movement – a dynamic blend of traditional roots music and modern rock. His collaboration with Fender aims to provide fans with the same songwriting and playing tool that has led him to pioneer this intersection and define an entire genre of music. Mentored by the legendary late John Prine, Isbell’s highly sought-after sound was used to inspire Bradley Cooper’s character in A Star Is Born, and he’s lent his talents to groups like Drive-By Truckers and The 400 Unit in addition to his prolific solo career.
“Jason Isbell writes and plays music for the soul of America, blending the sounds that have defined country music for decades with his unique genre-bending take on soul, blues and rock,” said Justin Norvell, EVP Fender Products. “We worked closely with Jason to recreate the ultimate road-worn version of his custom Telecaster for fans looking to emulate his celebrated, award-winning sound. This design is actually a combination of his favorite Tele guitars he’s played throughout his career, this one being the best yet. The result is a gorgeous, vintage-inspired instrument, with a double-bound ‘59-style Telecaster custom body, 21- fret rosewood fingerboard and modifications throughout, including Jason Isbell pickups designed specifically to emulate his sound.”
The Jason Isbell Custom Telecaster is visually striking – the Chocolate Sunburst pops against the cream double-binding of the ‘59-style Telecaster Custom body while Fender’s Road Worn aging process gives it the look and feel of a well-used instrument. The vintage-inspired mid-’60s “C”-shaped maple neck and 21-fret rosewood fingerboard combine with the sparkling, fiery tones of the custom Jason Isbell Telecaster guitar Pickups, designed by in-house Fender tone guru Tim Shaw. The chicken-pickin’ playability of the modified bridge creates a guitar that has an elegant vintage style to match its stunning classic tone.
Isbell adds, “I chose this guitar to re-create because I’ve put it to the test and it’s really proven itself. I love the look, the sound and the playability of my custom Telecaster. It truly stays in tune and I can’t wait for guitarists everywhere to give it a try.”
In addition to the launch of Isbell’s signature Telecaster, six of his hit songs have joined Fender Play, the complete learning app for guitar, bass and ukulele. Fans around the world can start their musical journey and play their very own Jason Isbell Custom Telecaster while learning his songs, including If It Takes A Lifetime, Overseas, If We Were Vampires, Hope the High Road, Last of My Kind and 24 Frames. 
In true tradition, the Fender Artist Signature Series honors iconic musicians through product progression and storytelling, creating instruments inspired by the unique specifications of the world’s greatest guitarists and bassists. From Drive-By Truckers and The 400 Unit to his GRAMMY-winning solo work, Jason Isbell has emerged as a leading voice in the Americana movement. Learn more about Fender’s first ever collaboration with Jason Isbell as he talks songwriting and his Signature Telecaster.
Fender also highlights Isbell’s new signature model in an episode of Fender’s serialized social video series, Fender Demos. Fender Demos is an educational video series focused on providing a deep dive into Fender’s newest products showcasing not only the key features and benefits but also the sonic quality of Fender’s instruments, amplifiers and pedals. In addition to product demos, the series also provides valuable beginner, intermediate and advanced tone tips, set-up and maintenance guides and insights to getting the most out of your Fender gear.

Powered Up West Coast Outfit THE GARRETT BAND Issues “The Warning”

Consider yourself on high alert in the most melodic way possible. Vancouver-based progressive rock quartet The Garrett Band have a hard rockin’ heads up for everyone with their new single “The Warning.”

Arriving directly on the heels of their current top ten Cashbox Radio Top 20 Pick Hit, “Systematic”, “The Warning” is the sonic harbinger for the band’s upcoming fourth album due out on Canada Day. With commanding, staccato strings interwoven with powerful lead guitar and kick drum strikes supporting lead vocalist/songwriter Sean Garrett’s soaring voice, the song pulls no punches about some big pitfalls.

“The Warning is about addiction, self destruction and a change that needs to be made before it is too late,” the band asserts.

You never had no faith, You always crossed the warning sign

The Garrett Band’s members are accomplished with a capital ‘eh’. Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sean Garrett and lead guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones have created music together for over 30 years in the Lower Mainland. Bassist Gary Koenig has performed with a who’s who of Canadian blues legends such as Big Dave McLean and Dutch Mason and drummer Mike “Machine” Mallais has the distinction of being named Maritime World’s Fastest Drummer, along with endorsements from esteemed percussion companies such as Yamaha and Sabian.

The group’s fourth album and the first under their new, all-inclusive moniker is set to hit the digital streets on July 1, earlier than originally anticipated but with a newfound, do-it-yourself sense of pride. Due to COVID-19, the band’s 2020 tour dates in Canada and Sweden were cancelled, so they pivoted to streaming performances, writing and recording demos for the new album.

“We had demoed 30 songs and had a producer interested, but with travel restrictions, we weren’t able to go to Québec to record,” explains the band. “We decided to record at our own studio instead and the results are turning out great.”

With decades of live performing experience between them, this is a band that bursts with fine-tuned prowess on stage. Consequently, they can’t wait to get back out there and rock international audiences again once it’s safe to do so. “The love of music and what we do is always the motivation” according to The Garrett Band, and now, they’ll have an all-new set of rock anthems to unleash on the crowds.

Folk Singer KATE KOENIG Gives Voice to a Very Old Soul in “Young with Ancient Stories”

Folk Singer KATE KOENIG Gives Voice to a Very Old Soul in “Young with Ancient Stories”

It’s the song’s title but it could also be the artist’s bio in four words: “Young with Ancient Stories” is experimental folk singer/songwriter Kate Koenig’s new release.

Plaintive, introspective, and sung from the point of view of the mythological creature Bʌfdɔg (Buff Dog), who’s existed as every person and at every time, “Young with Ancient Stories” is Bʌfdɔg’s soul-baring confession of spiritual disconnection and isolation.

“Bʌfdɔg is singing both as a creature spiritually exhausted from experiencing a sun’s age of lifetimes and as a lost and lonely kid who feels cut off from the world,” explains Koenig.

“Young with Ancient Stories” is the second single and closing track from Koenig’s sophomore album, Etemenanki, released January 31. Every song on Etemenanki is sung either by Bʌfdɔg themselves or from the perspective of individuals whom Bʌfdɔg has embodied. However, this song holds a particularly personal connection for the unique and inventive singer/songwriter. “Out of all of the songs on the album, the narration of this one comes the closest to coming from my own voice,” remarks Koenig.

Just as “Young with Ancient Stories” features a stirring solo vocal and acoustic guitar performance by the Brooklyn-based artist, the video also was a solo endeavor. “I hauled all of my A/V equipment an hour and a half outside of NYC and spent an afternoon setting up and shooting.”

Koenig chose an ancient filming location very fitting for the song and album’s spiritual themes, the Church of the Magdalene in Sleepy Hollow, New York, founded in 1894. “The church’s rustic vibe, given off by its vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and the russet mahogany wood surrounding the white marble and gold-adorned altar, made it the perfect setting for my songs, some of which reference antiquity,” recalls Koenig.

However, it’s not a visual representation of her own beliefs. “While the video is set in a (liberal) Catholic church and features Catholic imagery, I identify as spiritual agnostic and have no ties to the Catholic Church,” explains Koenig.

Themes of spirituality, infatuation, questioning and longing thread throughout Etemenanki, the follow up to Koenig’s 2019 debut album, Haircuts for Barbers. “Many songs on the album blur the lines between romantic obsession and a longing for a spiritual connection with the inconceivable,” says Koenig.

Koenig’s music has already garnered some great accolades from peers. Jazz guitar master Gene Bertoncini shares, “Kate shows great ambition and persistence in bringing her artistic voice to the people of New York City, both through her shows and the enthusiasm she puts into her performances. I have traveled across boroughs just to see her perform.” Mumford and Sons’ Winston Marshall wrote to Koenig, “You’re talented! Some artists I think you might like: Laura Marling, Joni Mitchell, Jeffrey Lewis, Vashti Bunyan, The Wowz. I hear a lineage from your music to theirs.”

Pre-pandemic, Koenig performed for appreciative audiences at storied NYC venues such as Bowery Ballroom, Pete’s Candy Store, Pianos, Niagara, and Under St. Mark’s Theatre. Koenig will be back on many stages again as more live music returns post-pandemic.

It’s a Full Sonic “Assault” for Shoegaze x Punk x Synthy Dream-Rockers MORNING TRIPS & New Single

It’s a Full Sonic “Assault” for Shoegaze x Punk x Synthy Dream-Rockers MORNING TRIPS & New Single

Like a pulsating punk-rock riot in audible form, Florida-based genre-bending alt-pop rockers Morning Trips have unleashed this, their newest single, “Assault.”

Brash, unapologetic, and as catchy as a Velcro shoe in a vat of glue, this very smart, very loud track centers around being a young person in America in 2021. In “Assault,” Morning Trips waste zero time expressing their feelings on subjects heavy on their heart since their formation in 2017.

Deftly demonstrating the band’s dynamic range, “Assault” follows the Morning Trips’ most recent offering, “My Parade” — a churning, dreamy, whirlwind of a pop song complete with operatic and shoegaze influences. They worked with producer and engineer Jeremey SH Griffith to conceptualize chilling visuals that serve as reminders for how quickly unjust policies discriminate against everyday people.

Together for four years now, the American-based four-piece’s expansive sound has been described as by the Northwest Florida Daily News as “influenced by a gumbo of dream pop, shoegaze, R&B, and ‘80s music,” with founding punk-era nostalgia and saccharine synth mixed in for good measure.

The blend of comforting yet pulsating feelings ripple and resonate further with each riff; Morning Trips aim to be for all collections of people as they morph through soundscapes with their diverse approach to creating.

“We want to create a world with the same mentality of how we want to exist in the real world,” songwriter and band founder Brady Lynch shares. “We want to create open, progressive, and diverse music for people from all walks of life to find something of solace in.”

So far, their discography walks the talk; each track indeed serves as its own singular, stand-out ingredient, while landing as decidedly cohesive and complementary alongside counterparts in the stewpot. From dreamy R&B to electronic-influenced punk to bubbly synth-pop, 2020 singles “Follow the Blind,” “Saudade,” and “Di / Hi” followed earlier 2019 offerings of “Baby,” “Disobedience,” and 2018’s breakout debut, “Blue.”

“I was initially inspired by an almost naive approach to writing music on a laptop, if I’m honest,” Lynch recalls, citing early iterations created with an impaired Macbook Pro and Ableton Live. “I started producing demos intended for a ‘traditional’ band sound in hopes to find members to round out a lineup.”

It worked; soon he was joined by Logan Clinkingbeard, James Amos, and Noah Townsend. “Turns out, those early laptop demos eventually paved the way to become the first Morning Trips tunes,” Lynch adds.

Morning Trips have seen a series of state-wide tours to the tune of 50+ shows, and nods from media far and wide, including but not limited to the UK’s Pastel Wasteland, South Africa’s Janglepophub, and America’s American Pancake, AAA Backstage.

Folk Singer/Songwriter BRENDAN SCOTT FRIEL Releases New Album, Summer Moons & Video for “All In”

Folk Singer/Songwriter BRENDAN SCOTT FRIEL Releases New Album, Summer Moons & Video for “All In”

From a spinning cauldron of music, melody, and magic, get spell-bound by Windsor, ON-based troubadour, Brendan Scott Friel with his recent album, Summer Moons, and new video for single “All In” — both available now!

Friel’s dedication to enchanting truths, breathless vocals, and stunning instrumentation makes up the wonderment of this latest project. A collection of experiences, memories, and wishes are detailed on the 10-track sophomore album Friel worked tirelessly to stitch together.

“I wrote this album in the afterglow of some major exciting life events,” Friel reveals. “I had married the woman I love; we had bought and fixed up a small home together; I was working with one of my favourite producers… So many things I had been chasing came together, rather suddenly, and after the initial excitement, there was this odd calm and almost sadness.

“In the process of analyzing this, I learned the feeling had a name: ‘The Hedonic Treadmill,’ which is the tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes.

“My struggle with that realization was a major inspiration for the themes present on Summer Moons.”

The songs across Summer Moons are ever-present in their dedication to telling the whole story, with Friel, the painter behind a collision of brightly coloured canvases, producing loving vignettes of moments.

Each verse mimicking life; aach bridge finessing the plea, or thought, or promise.

On “All In,” Friel challenges you to fall into the arms of love and all its longings. On “Shadows,” he longs for answers. With “Lorelei,” he draws on real experiences to give life to the imagery he sings.

With his indie rock/acoustic folk pop instrumentation, Friel writes the music of first dances, first kisses, heartbreaks, break ups, make ups, and the meanings of life and all its twists and turns; Summer Moons offers itself as the soundtrack to that one fleeting moment in time you beg yourself not to forget.

Collaborating with producer James Bunton (Donovan Woods, Joey Landereth), the album is seamlessly woven together — each song a compliment to the one next to it. Given the current global climate, the pair meticulously crafted the album over a series of weekly Sunday morning Zoom meetings. “Every Thursday, I would send him demos of what I had been working on in my home studio, and that following Sunday we would again chat, and the process would repeat itself,” Friel recalls, offering a behind-the-scenes look at creating an album during uncertainty. “It went on like that from March until September when restrictions finally eased up to the point where I could go to Toronto and start recording the album in-person.

“Although it pushed the release date way back from my original goal,” he reveals, “I’m thankful for that extra time as I ended up writing three brand new songs that are now staples of the album.”

A dedicated musician, singer/songwriter, and performer, Friel is no stranger to the stage, having notched hundreds of shows in his career. As a hometown hero and fan favourite, he has appeared on a variety of mainstream media outlets including CTV and the CBC.

A sophomore release that follows his 2017 debut, Quiet Cars, with this album, Brendan Scott Friel continues to capture his unapologetic ingenuity for telling it like it is.

Kayla DiVenere Spins Teen Fantasy In New “Justin Bieber” Single

Kayla DiVenere Spins Teen Fantasy In New “Justin Bieber” Single

The year is 1990 and your walls are adorned with cutouts from the latest teen magazine of your favourite heartthrobs… From the back of the bedroom door, to the ceiling above your bed, the closet and your locker, you are inundated with posters of your first real celebrity crush… Take a deep breath of that nostalgia, and press play on Montreal-born now Los Angeles-based Kayla DiVenere and her single, “Justin Bieber” — available now.

Both an homage to a teen fantasy spun out like an audio book of every girl’s diary, and an instant pop classic, DiVenere pulls no punches and risks it all to candidly reveal her affinity for the Biebs himself.

Calling on him to be her “boyfriend,” while she mercilessly offers to be his “baby,” the track is laced with clever references to the pop sensation’s career including “you don’t have to be sorry”— a clear nod to his singles.

“My song ‘Justin Bieber’ conveys a comedic side to infatuation where reality and Hollywood life blend together,” DiVenere explains. “Justin was every young girl’s dream celebrity crush, leading me to write a song that is so relatable.

“He was also always a role model, and inspired me to play multiple instruments and follow my passion,” she continues. “Throughout the creative process, we made sure to keep the song light and comedic as well as mysterious and sexy.”

What DiVenere does so well on the track is make it “beliebable”… A “Belieber” yourself or not, either way, you’re there with her on this journey. She’s giving you the inside scoop to her most private thoughts, wants and desires and unapologetically invites you to join in on the ride.

The song’s subsequent music video is the crazed-fan testament in visual form — plenty of posters and cardboard cutouts create the décor of her home. Included is a dinner party of Cheerios, with our protagonist at one side, cheerfully enjoying her meal across from a cardboard Bieber, propped up in his own chair with his own bowl of cereal. It’s cheeky and fun — and speaks metaphorical volumes of the intensity of childhood crushes.

Well-known for her roles on hit shows such as “Law & Order”, Hulu’s “Love Victor,” and Hulu’s “Light as a Feather” — not to mention feature films such as “Under the Silver Lake” — DiVenere is a teenager enjoying incredible success in her budding music career since bursting onto the scene in 2018 with her debut, “Youth.”

At over 800,000+ streams across Spotify alone, the songstress is making an indelible mark on the industry with her innate eclectic talent, songwriting ability, acting and showmanship; DiVenere was destined for the arts.

Be ready to revisit your teenage dream when you knock back a play or two of DiVenere’s “Justin Bieber.” Like your mother’s affinity for David Cassidy, your adoration of the Backstreet Boys, that time you swore you’d marry Devon Sawa, and the fact that you still have NKOTB dolls locked away in your chest of memories, this track reopens the floodgates of days spent pining for a celeb both a million miles away, but front and centre in your every waking thought.

The grit and grace of “Justin Bieber” is the magic Kayla DiVenere creates out of yesterday’s memories, and the grin you sheepishly bear remembering your first celebrity crush.
