Acclaimed songwriter Steph Cameron will return to Kelowna as part of a tour through Western Canada.
Ahead of her Oct. 12 performance at Fernandos, audiences are getting a new video for That香蕉视频直播檚 What Love Is from her latest album Daybreak Over Jackson Street.
The song 香蕉视频直播渄escribes some of the loneliness we can feel in spite of the deep connections we have with those we love,香蕉视频直播� said Cameron. 香蕉视频直播淚t describes the heart as an empty room that waits longingly for the one it loves to walk through its doors and give the room meaning.香蕉视频直播�
Cameron arrived on the scene like a bracing gust of fresh musical air with her debut record Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady, receiving unanimously enthusiastic reviews. No Depression termed it 香蕉视频直播渁 stunning debut,香蕉视频直播� while Exclaim! noted that 香蕉视频直播淪ad-Eyed Lonesome Lady delights from start to finish. Cameron is the real deal.香蕉视频直播� The record also made the coveted longlist for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize in 2015.
Out now via Pheromone Recordings, Daybreak Over Jackson Street navigates subtle changes in stylistic terrain. If the debut felt as if it emerged fully-formed from the bohemian streets of Greenwich Village circa 1963, then the extra maturity of this album gives it more of an early 香蕉视频直播�70s Laurel or Topanga Canyon atmosphere.
Like her debut, Daybreak Over Jackson Street was recorded at elite Toronto studio Revolution Recording with producer Joe Dunphy. It retains the sparse template of her first record 香蕉视频直播� one voice, one guitar, both recorded in intimate fashion and to tape.
Many of these new songs feature a more mature Cameron looking back upon earlier turbulent times.
香蕉视频直播淎s I get a bit older I香蕉视频直播檓 able to recall my youth from a different perspective. Many of these songs draw their content from the life and relationships I had in my youth; to people and places, particularly East Vancouver.香蕉视频直播�
She describes 香蕉视频直播淒aybreak Over Jackson Street香蕉视频直播� as a song 香蕉视频直播渁bout living in an impoverished neighbourhood in an urban setting. That song acknowledges some of the elements of life in a slum.香蕉视频直播� A similar locale, East Vancouver, permeates 香蕉视频直播淩ichard,香蕉视频直播� a haunting ode to a troubled comrade left behind 香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播榓 hotel is a real sad place for living香蕉视频直播�.
Having spent some time living in The Kootenays, the great outdoors appears in Cameron香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 What Love Is,香蕉视频直播� a lovely and gentle tune featuring a circular guitar pattern and such atmospheric imagery as 香蕉视频直播榣ate at night when the coyotes call, the dogs whimper and the leaves fall香蕉视频直播�. Then there is the fast and breezy 香蕉视频直播淟ittle Blue Bird,香蕉视频直播� one 香蕉视频直播榮itting in the snow, staring at the stars dreaming of the railroad cars香蕉视频直播�.
Daybreak Over Jackson Street has also attracted the enthusiastic attention of U.K. folk music specialist label At The Helm which is releasing it in the UK on November 10. A UK and European tour will follow in 2018.
