The Wailin' Jennys ~ Bright Morning Stars ~ The Wailin’ Jennys ~ Bright Morning Stars ~ Release Date: February 8, 2011 The Wailin’ Jennys are pleased to announce the February 8, 2011 release of Bright Morning Stars, the band’s highly anticipated new studio album. One of today’s most popular folk-roots bands, the trio has made a name for itself releasing three award-winning albums, two of which spent over a year on the Billboard Charts. Now The Wailin’ Jennys join the ranks of Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris, recording their new studio album Bright Morning Stars with Grammy-nominated producer Mark Howard. Co-produced by frequent Jennys collaborator and Juno Award-nominated David Travers-Smith, the album combines fresh and innovative sounds with the band’s signature harmonies--a perfect mix of Americana, pop and traditional folk that is certain to be an instant classic. Bright Morning Stars is a sparkling collection of heart-filled songs that speak to the world around us and the heavens above. The album takes its name from a traditional song that The Jennys perform a capella--a beautiful Appalachian hymn that laments the passing of loved ones. Like this ethereal title track, many of the songs are about searching for what has been lost, whether it’s a once-whole heart, a lover gone or family that is far away. From the soulful pop of “Swing Low Sail High” to the gut-busting gospel of “Storm Comin’” to the sultry jazz of “Cherry Blossom Love,” the album sparkles with a light and energy that is “guaranteed to soothe your soul with its unique blend of earthy passion and heartfelt compassion” (Creem). Even amidst songs about loss, there is a quiet elation underpinning the album that is present in such tracks as “Bird Song” (a fan favorite with lyrics co-written by Heather Masse and Nicky Mehta), giving hope and courage to weary souls and broken hearts. All three band members--Ruth Moody, Nicky Mehta and Heather Masse--each contribute to the twelve original songs, singing and playing a variety of instruments (acoustic guitar, accordion, banjo, ukulele) to create a shimmering tapestry of rich vocals and instrumentals. Joining The Jennys are Canada’s finest session players, including Bill Dillon (Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel), Kevin Breit (Norah Jones), Colin Cripps (Kathleen Edwards), Richard Moody (The Bills) and frequent Jennys sideman Jeremy Penner on fiddle. Recorded in a cottage near Haliburton, Ontario, Bright Morning Stars has a warm, intimate quality, as if The Jennys were singing their celestial songs just for you. Sure to be a favorite on folk, Americana and AAA radio, the album confirms that The Wailin’ Jennys are stars of the first order. The Wailin’ Jennys will embark on a tour in February 2011, supporting the release of this new album. More information about their schedule and the members’ solo dates can be found at www.thewailinjennys.com. BIOGRAPHY The Wailin’ Jennys are Nicky Mehta, Ruth Moody and Heather Masse—three distinct voices that together make an achingly perfect vocal sound. Starting as a happy accident of solo singer-songwriters getting together for a one-time-only performance at a tiny guitar shop in Winnipeg, Manitoba, The Wailin’ Jennys have grown over the years into one of today's most beloved international folk acts. Founding members Ruth Moody and Nicky Mehta along with New York-based Heather Masse continue to create some of the most exciting and exquisite music on the folk-roots scene, stepping up their musical game with each critically-lauded recording and thrilling audiences with their renowned live performances. In 2004, The Wailin’ Jennys released their first full-length album 40 Days in the to great critical acclaim, and in 2005 it won them a Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year. Bolstered by their frequent appearances on Garrison Keillor’s public radio show A Prairie Home Companion, The Jennys exploded onto the roots music scene, performing at packed venues across the Canada, the U.S. and throughout the world. Their next CD Firecracker was a powerful follow-up to their debut album and found The Jennys stepping out of the folk realm and into the world of alt-country, pop and rock. Garnering much attention, it was nominated for a Juno Award and won a 2007 Folk Alliance Award for “Contemporary Release of the Year.” It charted for over 56 weeks on the Billboard charts and was followed up by their 2009 release Live at Mauch Chunk Opera House, which also spent over a year on the Billboard bluegrass charts. It captured the magic of their live performances with show-stopping harmonies, impressive instrumental prowess, breathtaking songs and witty stage banter. Now, The Wailin’ Jennys join the ranks of Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris, recording their new studio album Bright Morning Stars with award-winning producer Mark Howard. Co-produced by frequent Jennys collaborator and Juno Award-nominated David Travers-Smith, the album combines fresh and innovative sounds with the band’s signature harmonies--a perfect mix of Americana, pop and traditional folk that is certain to be an instant classic. Although known primarily as an acoustic outfit, The Wailin’ Jennys have a wide range of musical backgrounds that have formed their musical sensibilities. Soprano Ruth Moody (vocals, guitar, accordion, banjo, bodhrán) is a classically trained vocalist and pianist known as an accomplished, versatile singer of traditional and Celtic music and as the former lead singer of Juno-nominated roots band Scruj MacDuhk. She recently released her first full- length solo album The Garden, whose title track was the #4 most played song of 2010 on international folk radio. Mezzo Nicky Mehta (vocals, guitar, harmonica, drums, ukulele), a trained dancer raised on classical music, 70's a.m. radio and heavily influenced by alternative pop, was nominated for a Canadian Indie Music Award for her solo album Weather Vane. In July 2009 she became the proud mother to twin boys, Beck and Finn, who join the band on tour as the newest Jennys roadies. Alto Heather Masse (vocals, upright bass) is a Jazz Voice graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, who has performed in Mark O’Connor’s Hot Swing, Darol Anger’s Republic of Strings and is a regular guest on A Prairie Home Companion. She has also toured with her own band, supporting her 2009 Red House release Bird Song. With their varying backgrounds, each of the Jennys is unique in their individual expression. Together they forge a unified folk-pop sound—all delivered with the irresistible vocal power of three. For more information about The Wailin’ Jennys, please visit www.thewailinjennys.com.

In-flight Movies/Featured Music Page 2 – Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – West Meets Best Vancouver is a coastal city located in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. It is named for British Captain George Vancouver, who explored and first mapped the area in the 1790s. The metropolitan area is the most populous in Western Canada and the third-largest in the country, with the city proper ranked eighth among Canadian cities. According to the 2006 census Vancouver had a population of 578,041 and just over 2.1 million people resided in its metropolitan area. Over the last 30 years, immigration has dramatically increased, making the city more ethnically and linguistically diverse; 52% do not speak English as their first language. Almost 30% of the city's inhabitants are of Chinese heritage. From a logging sawmill established in 1867 a settlement named Gastown grew, around which a town site named Granville arose. With the announcement that the railhead would reach the site, it was renamed "Vancouver" and incorporated as a city in 1886.

  • A Conversation with Nicky Mehta 0F the Wailin' Jennys
    A Conversation with Nicky Mehta 0f the Wailin’ Jennys by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.com, 8/2004) I started hearing the buzz on this talented Canadian trio at the Folk Alliance in Nashville in 2003, but because of celebrity hubub and other factors of the moment, I was not able to connect with them there. But Cara Luft and I got back to each other sporadically afterward, and we decided to wait a while to review them in Puremusic until their first full length CD came out. The water under the bridge washes away so many things that it was a big surprise when, many moons later, their 40 Days CD appeared at my Nashville door, courtesy of their Canadian booking agency, Paquin Entertainment. A trio or quartet of established songwriters band together and fashion an actual group, make a record and tour: it’s a formula that these downturned times has seen revisited more than a couple of times in various genres of music. But it’s always a tricky thing, getting people with already individuated styles of writing and performing, especially as solo artists, to strike a blend and sublimate their invariably Type A personalities in order to democratize and conquer. I was really at home with the CD right off. All three vocalists are very classy, each is in a different range and an alchemical blend is going down. The vocal arrangement of the material is classic without being cliche, with a sound that is effortless and natural. The personalities, like the voices, seem from their respective songs and physical images to be pitched differently.

  • The Philosophical Fiber Rethinking Ensemble Conducting in Light of a Record Producer’S Practice
    Original Article | Vol. 1, No. 1, 2020, pp. 167–187 | ISSN: 2703-8041 The philosophical fiber Rethinking ensemble conducting in light of a record producer’s practice Ola Buan Øien Affiliation: Nord University, Norway Contact corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The overall aim of this single case study is to find aspects of musical leadership relevant to ensemble conducting, using the theory of practice architectures to analyze a record producer’s practice. Data generation is performed mainly through transcripts and reflection logs based on YouTube interviews and videos. Insights into ensemble conducting are offered by exploring the following question: “What aspects of musical leadership relevant to conducting can be identified by applying the theory of practice architectures to an analysis of record producer Daniel Lanois’s practice?” The materials are analyzed based on three contexts of interpretation of meaning in hermeneutics. The theory of practice architectures serves as the analytical lens for the third context of interpretation. Main findings from this study are extracted into nine concepts that may serve as aspects of musical leadership relevant to conducting: a fast communication system, a self- adjusting act, black dubs, locations, operating by limitation, master station, the philosophical fiber, preparing, and sonic ambience. These and similar concepts may offer new insights into ensemble conducting in contexts similar to recording situations. Keywords: musical leadership, ensemble conducting, record producer, practice architectures, musical concepts Introduction Background and previous research This study is designed to discover aspects of musical leadership relevant to ensemble conducting, using the theory of practice architectures (Kemmis et al., 2014, p.

  • Welcome to the 41St Tønder Festival Last Year’S 40Th Jubilee Was a Huge, Warm Celebration of 4 Decades of International and Danish Folk Roots Music in Tønder
    Welcome to the 41st Tønder Festival Last year’s 40th jubilee was a huge, warm celebration of 4 decades of international and Danish folk roots music in Tønder. It also marked the launch of the Tønder Festival of the future. Hand-made music with roots in folk, country, blues, cajun, world and the rest has seen yet ano- ther massive renaissance these past few years. Tønder Festival has been part of this all the way. The rebuilding of the festival is a process that began in 2012, and 2015 sees the topping out. This year’s music programme reflects today’s genre-crossing artists, the bearers of the strong traditions and new, young names. International giants in the veteran class side by side with the top musicians of the future. This year again, Tønder Festival’s audiences will find a festival site alive with many different mu- sic venues, special thematic zones and a wide selection of restaurants, cafés and sales booths. Four days’ immersion in a unique festival atmosphere with its well-defined identity and audiences who love the music and the vibe. 2014 was also the year when the conductor’s baton changed hands. Tønder Festival’s artistic director Carsten Panduro retired and the new management took over. The new management team inherited a festival that turned loss to profit in 2014, a festival with huge and growing local and regional backing and enormous media attention. There have been digital changes, too. Tønder Festival has a new website and an intensified pre- sence on social media. Tønder Festival has as its main priority, as always, and more than ever, active contact with old and new audience members, those who buy wrist bands to participate in our unique, close fellowship centred on acoustic music of the highest calibre.

  • A Conversation with Annabelle Chvostek by Frank Goodman (9/2006, Puremusic.Com)
    A Conversation with Annabelle Chvostek by Frank Goodman (9/2006, Puremusic.com) Puremusic readers may be well aware that we were very big on the debut of this Canadian supagrupe, originally composed of Ruth Moody (who came from Scruj McDuhk, forerunner of The Duhks) and singer songwriters Nicky Mehta and Cara Luft. 40 Days ended up with the Juno for Best Folk recording. So, like any fan and the group members themselves, no doubt, everyone wondered what the fate of The Wailin' Jennys was, after it was known that Cara Luft (who among other things was the hot guitar player in the trio) was leaving to pursue her solo career. Through many channels and avenues, a search for a suitable replacement began, and this is one of many topics I take up with the newest member of the band, the keenly talented Annabelle Chvostek. Not from Winnipeg like her bandmates, Annabelle is originally from Toronto, and moved to Montreal some years back. Check out some of her previous solo releases on iTunes and you will hear the jazzier and edgier influences she brings to the table, by which the trio is well served. In fact, Annabelle's song "The Devil's Paintbrush Road" opens the new record Firecracker with an unmistakable strength and a new voice. Having interviewed the elegant and engaging Nicky Mehta on our first pass, it was just like us to want a go at the new member of the group, and we're grateful to our friend Jill Brooksbank at Mainstage Mgt. in Vancouver for hooking us up.
