The Brew Theme Song
Maxim Banjoman Cossette - s/t Canadian
Ballad of the Southern Midwife
Sarah Jane Scouten - s/t Canadian New
https://soundcloud.com/sarah-jane-scouten/ballad-of-a-southern-midwife

Released: 16 August 2019

“It was written before #metoo, before Gian Ghomeshi, before repeals of abortion laws in the southern United States, including in Alabama where abortion was made illegal in 2019, including in cases of incest and rape. This song is about the overlap of religious intolerance and sexual oppression and a woman's fight for her own body autonomy and that of others, regardless of the consequences.”

(Last time she tried to do this there was a tornado that took out power in almost the entire city, so here goes for round two!)

Sarah is back from her Iberian travels and ready to re-release her début EP, Niagara, recorded in 2018 with Dave Draves at Little Bullhorn Studios, a compilation of place and space inspired “new folk” songs that explore the bittersweet relationship we all have with home. Backed by an all-woman band, including local femme legends Chrissy Steinbock (guitar), Kira Montfort (drums), and Sarah Fitzpatrick (bass), this night is sure to not disappoint.

The evening will also feature special guest performances by Anishinaabekwe singer-songwriter Larissa Desrosiers and Ottawa's own soul songstress Sophie d'Orléans.
