This Storm
Tara MacLean & Catherine MacLellan - s/t Canadian New
https://youtu.be/U9cDtUALY78

There is nothing harder than being separated from the people you love. Whether by distance or death, the human heart is no stranger to grief. Grief has been described as “Love with nowhere to go”. THIS STORM is an antidote to grief, releasing of love and expressing a trust in the deep wisdom that this too shall pass. All we need to do is hold on.

Written and recorded by Tara MacLean and Catherine MacLellan while in self-isolation - miles apart - and with friends Natalie Williams-Calhoun (cello) and Mark Westberg (mixing/mastering).

This video is a big, warm hug from Tara, Catherine and all of PEI to the rest of the world.
Thanks to all of our friends and community members who joined in the making of this video.
And biggest of all thank yous to the front-line and essential workers who risk their health everyday to protect ours.

Signs of Hostility
Bet Smith & The Currie Brothers - s/t Canadian New
https://youtu.be/5ojaiOVHT58

Released Apr. 13, 2020

"An Earth Month Special!

Full disclosure: This is us. We're in the middle of a pandemic and can't exactly have bands coming in to record, but there is suddenly time to complete projects that have been sitting on the backburner for months. So in the spirit of having a few new videos to kick off this project, we thought we'd share Signs of Hostility. In the spirit of Earth Month, this is a song about climate change and resilience. It nods to self-sufficiency, gardening and traditional skills.

Bet Smith: Vocals, acoustic guitar, songwriter
Sarah Girdwood: Harmony vocals, maracas
Rob Currie: Electric guitar, sound recording

"Christina’s rich, deep voice is unlike anything we’ve come across. Once described as a full-bodied glass of red wine, it is reminiscent of the succulent vocals you would have heard flowing from a transistor radio in the late 1950s.

Christina’s new single, Fifteen Shades taps into her unique vocal quality and delivers a listening experience that brings us back to another era."
