      Hamilton's Greg Moverley Brings Hope, Desperation, Heartbreak and Salvation to Latest Album


      If you love your music packed with incredible storytelling, you've to get a copy of Urban Folk, the latest release from Hamilton singer/songwriter, Greg Moverley. Every song feels like a look into in the emotions and lives of a city. The characters and situations come alive with music.

      With a wonderful, laid back, rootsy style, Greg and his cohorts will guide you though the alleys and apartments of this ragged town. In it you'll find hope, desperation, heartbreak and maybe even a little salvation.

       Joining Greg in this musical urban construction are Dave Gould, Orange McFarland, Chris Cracknell and Will Gillespie.  They help provide an artful, raw, emotive sonic atmosphere.

      You can ask for a copy at Greg's live show or contact him at gregmoverley@gmail.com.  It is also available for download through iTunes.

      Hamilton's Will Gillespie Takes You From the Barroom to the Ballroom with 'Chasing Shadows'


      Chasing Shadows, the newest EP from Hamilton's Will Gillespie, is not your average Folk recording.  He can go fast and furious on some tunes and then switch gears to sweet, beautiful ballads.  All the while, Will and the gang keeps a European flair in the background.

      Elements of jazz, Americana, folk, world music and more intertwine to transport the listener to the country, the barroom and the ballroom.  What a sweet trip it is!

      Will enlists some wonderful local music makers to take us along the journey.  There's Dave Gould (Drums, Percussion), Orange McFarland (Bass), Geoff Ball of Euphonic (Cello), Matt Coleman (Violin) and Sarah Beatty (Vocal Harmonies).

      You can pick up a physical copy of the CD at the James North General Store or download it using Bandcamp, eMusic, iTunes or cdbaby

      EXTRA MINI-REVIEW!

      Some albums escape our radar, so occasionally we'll be catching up with some mini-reviews!


      Learning How to Let Go, his 2014 album, has more of a singer/songwriter, folky vibe.  Will also gets a little funky and throws in quite a few catchy riffs.

      This one can be downloaded through Bandcamp, iTunes or cdbaby.

      Stompin' Tom Connors Passes + Local Reaction


      Canadian icon and music legend Stompin' Tom Connors passed away on March 6, 2013 of natural causes at the age of 77.  He was a beloved musician who trancended genres and generations.  Our condolences to his family, friends and fans.

      The singer/songwriter left a letter to his fans to be released after his death:

      Hello friends, I want all my fans, past, present, or future, to know that without you, there would have not been any Stompin' Tom.

      It was a long hard bumpy road, but this great country kept me inspired with its beauty, character, and spirit, driving me to keep marching on and devoted to sing about its people and places that make Canada the greatest country in the world.

      I must now pass the torch, to all of you, to help keep the Maple Leaf flying high, and be the Patriot Canada needs now and in the future.

      I humbly thank you all, one last time, for allowing me in your homes, I hope I continue to bring a little bit of cheer into your lives from the work I have done.

      Sincerely,

      Your Friend always,

      Stompin' Tom Connors

      ----

      Ronnie "the Hawk" Hawkins was interviewed  on CHCH about the superstar.  He told a story about worrying about Tom when he played to university kids who don't usually like his style of music.  Tom earned a standing ovation from them.  "I haven't worried about him since." The Hawk exclaimed.

      Click here for the CHCH video report

      Click here for a photo slideshow from the Spec

      ----

      Local reaction came quickly on social media.  Here are a few highlights:

      David Crossley (Deacons): "You can't really explain to people in other parts of the world who (or how important) Stompin' Tom was, because there really is no equivalent in other cultures"


      Dave Gould: "Tom Connors has inspired me more than almost any singer/songwriter in my life. His lyrics got me through elementary school geography. I owe a big part of my appreciation for Canada to him. I am sad he is gone. R.I.P. Tom."

      Tia McGraff: "Thank you Stompin' Tom for all your great music, and honoring Canada!
      You are in our hearts and music forever."
