by teepoo I miss Basia Bulat. I hope she releases something else soon! Here was a great track from her 2010 release Heart of My Own. She’s still currently playing around Canada though and there are dates up on her website, including the Massey Hall performance that honors Leonard Cohen. Basia Bulat- Gold Rush

One of the big knocks on roots music is that it can tend to sound all the same after a while. If anyone wants to dispel that notion, one only needs to look to the self-titled debut album from Winnipeg trio Red Moon Road. The record, out March 17th, illustrates just how varied and rich roots music can be when it's done well. You get banjo-driven stompers ("Do Or Die", "Qu'allons-nouse faire?"), lush wind-through-the-wheat numbers ("Demons"), lilting maritime-flavoured ditties ("Why He Left The Ocean"), and everything in between. The tender songs definitely the band's forte. "Where My ...

Frank YangFriday nights usually find Torontonians spoilt for entertainment options and tonight will be no exception, but if you’re at all unsure of what to do with your evening then consider heading down to Lee’s Palace. It’s hosting a benefit concert for three young Oakville boys whom, following a tragic series of events, were orphaned [...]

Canadian experimental artist Anthony von Seck collaborated with the likes of Amy Millan from Stars, Basia Bulat, Elizabeth Anka Vajagic, plus the players from A Silver Mt. Zion and Stars to create his conceptual debut album My Best Friends In Exile. The concept behind the album is that it “felt more like you were surfing through radio stations, starting as very dense and urban, and whittling down into something more earthy and fragile.” “The Music of My Best Friend In Exile” was launched to a packed audience during a live performance at Pop Montreal in October 2009. Here are three ...

Basia Bulat @ Mississauga Celebration Square: photo by Michael Ligon Basia Bulat @ Mississauga Celebration Square: photo by Michael Ligon As you may have guessed given my two recent posts, I'm trying to work my way backwards, posting photos/reviews of the shows I've gone to over the last several months, which brings me to the enchanting Basia Bulat who played Mississauga for the first time on August 26 at Mississauga Celebration Square . It was a solo set from Miss Bulat, accompanying herself on vocals with a variety of instrumentation from piano, guitar and autoharp. A somewhat small crowd was ...

While the Toronto International Film Festival occupied most of my time during the period of September 8 to the 18, I'd consciously took Septemeber 10 off in order to check out a arts and music festival called Supercrawl in Hamilton, ON. I'd heard of the festival for a few years now and had hopes of going but it didn't happen, but when I'd seen the musical lineup this year which included amongst others, Broken Social Scene, J Mascis, Plants and Animals and Basia Bulat performing with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra , I made up my mind quick ...

vieles rund um musik herum spricht an. es sind nicht nur die vertonungen selbst, die auf bezauberung oder ablehnung stossen können. die ware musik schafft auch optische, haptische reize, manchmal suche ich noch nach olfaktorischen und finde sie wenigstens bei konzerten, zuweilen angenehme. einem tonträger haften sie in der regel nicht an. aber im falle von cuff the duke gibt es eh ausreichend belebende elemente, die meine aufmerksamkeit fordern. das coverartwork ihres bereits fünften longplayers hält sich wunderbar zweifarbig bedeckt und gibt gerade deshalb die detailtreue seiner gezeichneten oberfläche genau wieder. mit "morning comes" ist das album des vierers aus ...

als laura veirs im letzten jahr ihren sohn tennessee zur welt brachte, glaubte ich keinen momente daran, dass sie sich (und wenn auch nur kurzzeitig) aus dem musikgeschäft zurückziehen würde. im november wird ihr neues album erscheinen, der titel gibt vor, worum es geht: "tumble bee: laura veirs sings folk songs for children". raven marching band records und bella union werden das werk veröffentlichen, das fast schon selbstverständlich von ehemann tucker martine produziert wurde und unterstützung und gastauftritte von so bekannten größen erhielt wie coling meloy, jim james, bela fleck, karl blau, basia bulat und brian blade. bei den songs ...

Laura Veirs has announced she'll be releasing a new album this November called Tumble Bee . The twist being that the record is a collection of folk songs for children, featuring early 20th century work to Jimmie Rodger based ballads. Joining Veirs on the record will be The Decemberists’ frontman Colin Meloy, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and Carl Broemel, Basia Bulat, Bela Fleck, Karl Blau and members of Blind Pilot, plus a few more. The record comes out on November 7th via Bella Union, and will probably be amazing.
