JAMES HILL & ANNE JANELLE – MANY A MOON
Since their Canadian Folk Music Award-winning collaboration True Love Don’t Weep
JAMES HILL & ANNE JANELLE have brought their signature mix of tunes, songs and stories to audiences in more than a dozen countries.
Their new album MANY A MOON captures 18 of the duo’s signature songs, recorded live-off-the-floor. Sparse, direct and brimming with emotion, it’s James & Anne at their best.
With renewed energy and unparalleled musicality, Nicolas Boulerice, Simon Beaudry, Olivier Demers, Réjean Brunet and André Brunet have created astoundingly beautiful arrangements that bring to life the stories, songs and tunes from the rich heritage of Québec. Their new album is called Territoires.
That’s Where It’s At has Michael Jerome Browne taking us on

Jon Brooks’ 6th album, No One Travels Alone, accomplishes something truly interesting in modern songwriting: borrowing from the Elizabethan sonneteers, the album fulfils a ‘corona of songs. Corona form interconnects each song by first and last lines – the last line of the first song is the first line of the following song, etc…until the final song completes a circle, or corona. This brilliant new set of songs from Jon are interconnected, as are we; thus it is: ‘No One Travels Alone.’
With the release of PICTURES OF US, BRADEN GATES has proven himself to be deserving of a wider audience and worthy of the attention he’s received in five short years as a performer. Writing layered songs that bounce from those that brim with emotional depth and stark imagery to those that find the humour in life, Gates has quickly created a body of work that is impressive for its sheer volume. More importantly, his growing audience is moved by the poignancy and the poetic turns that bind his material. The touchstones of his talents are many and his influences run from traditional roots music to contemporary singer-songwriters, many of whom he continues to study. Have a listen here
