New Fred Magie CD: Window to the World

Local singer/songwriter, Fred Magie, recently released his latest incredible disc, Window to the World.

Fred's wonderful guitar work and expressive vocals permeate the album. His sound is a beautiful mix of pop, modern folk, and more. Highlights include the catchy More Than One Way, the tender and sweet Cedar Lane, Co-Star, and the title track.

He also enlisted the aid of Hamilton musicians Lisa Winn (vocals), Andrew Aldridge (guitar) and Tone Valcic (drums)- all of whom add a great, unique feel to the recordings.

You can pick up the disc at his shows but they're also available on iTunes
