AN INTERVIEW with artist Séan McCann!

SÉAN MCCANN is a founder of the iconic Canadian band Great Big Sea and an Order of Canada recipient for his advocacy for people living with mental health and addiction issues. He has spent the past seven years touring the country as a musical keynote speaker singing and sharing his story with front line workers, teachers, students, patients, inmates, veterans, and anyone who has been affected by addiction or abuse.

Depending upon which side of the Atlantic your ancestors come from, a “Shantyman” is either a simple sailor, or a lumberjack, who leads his fellow labourers in song. Listen to Newfoundland’s McCann, and his new acoustic fable of the same name, and find yourself as both lost in the woods or at sea with an album chock full of anecdotes, and spirited arrangements.

With Appearances from Hawksley Workman, Gordie (Big Sugar) Johnson, Jeremy Fisher & J.P. Cormier, Shantyman is Available Now!

Andrea Ramolo Feat. Kinnie Star - Quarantine Dream Canadian New
=============================================
AN INTERVIEW with artist Andrea Ramolo! She’s got a new album coming called “Quarantine Dream”, and a show coming up at the NAC Fourth Stage!

Singer-songwriter Andrea Ramolo is the first to admit that she creates music out of chaos and often misery. If that is a dark statement, it’s also one she laughs about because it all works out in the end. This time, once again, it has lent itself to the creation of her stunning new seventh studio album, Quarantine Dream.

Her past six studio albums — four solo and two with the duo Scarlett Jane — have been borne out of heartbreak, but Quarantine Dream, made almost entirely with women, is different: it’s about a breakup with our lives as we knew it when COVID-19 hit in early 2020.

“The record’s about extreme hope, extreme fear, extreme loss, extreme loneliness, and extreme imagination — wishing and hoping for a better tomorrow,” says Andrea.

Songs and musings from singer song writer, pack a day sensation Ciggie Tarbox.

My “super pretentious solo ep” will be the first release it will be released digitally the first week of November and will be released on cassette shortly after.

Will be released on Pils Records! This new Gatineau label is a new project from Chany Pilote (from Quebec punk legends inepsy) and his friend Dizz Hupé.

About Ciggie & The Darts:
What began as an excuse for three friends to guzzle beers and chain smoke quickly transformed into something that even they had no control over. If this beast ever escapes capital city may god have mercy on the rest of the country.
