When the 12th Annual Canadian Folk Music Awards come to Toronto in December 2016, there'll be some local artists up for some trophies.
There are quite a few Hamiltonians (both old and new) nominated this year. Ben Caplan(New/Emerging Artist),Whitehorse(Pushing the Boundaires, Ensemble), Matthew Barber and Jill Barber(Producers),Corin Raymond(Contemporary Album) and David Gillis(Producer - for his work with Corin). Waterloo's Danny Michelis up for the English Songwriter and Contemporary Singer categories as well.
Cambridge singer/songwriter Robert "Bobby" Cameron has started off with a bang, thanks to his amazing debut solo CD, Songs in My Head. Thanks to marvelous guitarwork and distinctive vocals, this album is definitely worth multiple plays!
With an incredible, punchy, folk sound (including a touch of Celtic flavour) there's a lot of feeling put into these fabulous tracks. Bobby did a great job writing seven of the songs and also does wonders with the three classic covers: Fields of Athenry, House of the Rising Sun, and Wild Mountain Thyme.
He's also joined by the fantastic Dan Walsh (guitars, bass, lap steel) who produces the CD. Bobby's frequent partner, Richard MacNeil adds his cool Cajon playing.
You can pick up a copy of this outstanding CD at any of his live show. It will be available on iTunes on July 2015.
