Lamothe and McIntyre on New Brennagh Burns EP: The Winter Project

Dunnville singer/songwriter Brennagh Burns has enlisted Hamilton's Rob Lamothe (guitar, producer), his son Zander (drums) and Mark McIntyre (bass) to play on her debut CD EP, the Winter Project.

The four-song collection features Brennagh's striking vocals and great songwriting. Instrumentality, the CD has a very modern alt-folk feel to it.

The disc is available at Brennagh's outstanding live performances. We'll be posting some footage of a recent show soon.

Below are a few videos of her performing songs from the EP.

"He's now organizing songwriters in heaven to put out a CD for the universe....will be missed"
Jude Johnson

"Shocked and saddened to hear about Randall Cousins. Randall gave me my very first gig as a pro musician. I was a harpsichord major at Mac, and all I had was a red Telecaster and a DX7 on a borrowed restaurant tray stand. If it weren't for him, I don't know where I'd be right now. RIP Randall. May you come up with many more clever puns in music heaven."
Lily Sazz, Groove Corporation
