Nominated for both the Polaris Music Prize and a Juno, it was a breakthrough album for Sexsmith. The singer/songwriter could have played it safe and gone the same route with the follow-up but, when it came to recording the songs that make up his 13th studio album, Forever Endeavour, Sexsmith weighed his options. “I had the songs, but I didn’t know where to go with them,” he tells Spinner. “I thought about working with Bob, but I didn’t think these songs could withstand that kind of production.” In the summer of 2011, Sexsmith ran into Mitchell Froom in Los Angeles. Froom had produced Sexsmith’s first three studio albums and the two got to talking about working together again. Froom suggested string and woodwind arrangements. “That interested me,” he says. “I thought it might give it the vibe of an old singer/songwriter album, like what Neil Diamond would have done.” This particular collection of songs certainly benefited from a lighter hand. Forever Endeav- our is quietly affecting -- and it’s strikingly more downbeat than its predecessor. Sexsmith says the album’s melancholia was dictated by the songs. “It’s always about the songs -- you don’t get much say in the matter,” he laughs. “It’s what- ever you’re going through.” For Sexsmith, that included a health scare. In the summer of 2011, he detected a lump in his throat. A series of tests followed and waiting to hear the results put him in a reflective mood. “It put me in a fog,” he corrects with a laugh. “I wasn’t panicking, but I was thinking about my options and it was uncertain. Was I going to be spending next year battling something? To be honest, I don’t think I even told Mitchell. When I got the results, everything was fine.” Still, mortality was top of mind. “As you get older and more of these things happen, you realize that it’s always coming for us and that one day the news won’t be good news,” he says. “It’s funny -- I had already snuck in some songs about death.” Indeed, Ron gets personal on Forever Endeavour. “Nowhere to Go,” for one example, deals with a low professional period in which it looked like Long Player Late Bloomer wouldn’t get released. “When we’d finished Long Player Late Bloomer we’d had so much rejection, I felt like I couldn’t do anything right,” he says. “First I wasn’t commercial enough, then I was too commercial.” Others are lighter. “Me, Myself and Wine” is an old-school country tune about settling in with a good album and a good vintage. It’s a love letter to the record. “My fans, they’re like me. They like albums and they read the liner notes. You hear people say no one cares about albums, but people are buying them. When I think of my favorite albums, it’s such a personal thing. You don’t want to be talking over it; you want to sit down a take it in. It’s like a book or a movie.” As far as albums go, Sexsmith is excited about Forever Endeavour. As it turns out, it’s been a long time coming. “Mitchell and I actually tried to make a record like this in 1999 with Whereabouts and I thought that album was a total disaster,” he says. “It was overstuffed and I didn’t sing as well. With this one, I feel like we finally made the album we set out to make. I think it’s one of those albums that when I’m looking back at the end of the line, I’ll remember it as one of the good ones.” - Spinner.com Coming soon: 3/4: Beth Hart “Bang Bang Boom Boom,” The Whigs “Staying Alive”..

  • Singer-Songwriter Jesse Winchester Here Friday
    Singer-songwriter Jesse Winchester here Friday BY GEORGE VARGA SEPTEMBER 8, 2010 JESSE WINCHESTER Not many musicians can simultaneously make Elvis Costello choke up and bring Neko Case to tears with an unadorned solo acoustic performance of a single song. But that’s exactly what veteran troubadour Jesse Winchester did last fall in New York when he sang his wonderfully poignant ballad about two teenagers in love, “Sham-A-Ling-Dong-Ding,” a standout number from his enchanting 2009 album, “Love Filling Station.” You can watch it here: http:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uKGWpqnS8E%20 The setting was Harlem’s famed Apollo Theater, where Costello’s Sundance TV music series, “Spectacle,” filmed its first two seasons in front of loudly appreciative audiences. Louisiana native Winchester — who appeared on an episode alongside Costello, Case, Sheryl Crow and Ron Sexsmith — quietly stole the show with that song and an equally spare but stunning version of “The Brand New Tennessee Waltz,” an understated classic from his 1970 debut album. “Doing ‘Spectacle’ has been a big boost for my career,” said Winchester, who kicks off a five- city California tour here Friday night at the all-ages AMSD Concerts (formerly Acoustic Music San Diego) in Normal Heights. “I’m working at least twice as much as I used to. But I’m not really well known, so ‘twice as much’ for me is still not the same as for a really popular act.” In 2007, Winchester received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society of Composers, Artists and Publishers. That he is not a household name stems from a simple twist of fate.

Carousel On er produsert av Jim Scott og har en imponerende liste av studiomusikere, blant andre Bob Glaub (John Lennon), Jon Graboff (John Lee Hooker, Dr. John), Don Heffington (Bob Dylan) och John McGinty (Dixie Chicks). Carousel One har fått sitt navn fra bagasjebandet på Los Angeles flyplass der innkommende fly fra Toronto ruller rundt. I fjor fikk Ron Sexsmith for tredje gang ta imot en Juno Award (Canadas største musikkpris), denna gangen ”Best Adult Alternative Album” for plata Forever Endeavour. Om arbeidet med Carousel One sier Ron; “I didn’t realize until we were putting the songs together for Carousel One that this would be more outgoing, there's a lot more humour, I mean, there’s even a smiling picture on the cover, which I’ve never had before. I just hope it doesn’t scare the children.” Tracklist: 1. Sure As The Sky 2. Saint Bernard 3. Loving You 4. Before The Night Is Gone 5. Lucky Penny 6. Getaway Car 7. Nothing Feels The Same Anymore 8.

  • Carefully Pieced Together Around Feist
    FEIST ‘Let It Die’ is very much a voice album in close up, “eye to eye and ear to ear”. Carefully pieced together around Feist’s seductive and jhai* voice, the album forms the missing link between ye old folk (storytelling), the Brill building era (the quest for the hook), doo-wop (melody and mood) and minimal modern pop arrangements. Like line drawings as opposed to detailed paintings, these songs leave you space to fill in the emotional blanks. Its lack of complication makes ‘Let It Die’ standout from much of today’s musical offerings; put simply, a beautiful slice of sonic escapism to illustrate and interrupt the little moments that together tell us stories. A history not lacking in variety, the Canadian born singer has accomplished much in her few tender years, so for those inquisitive journo types, here are the last few years in a nut shell… “My first proper gig was supporting the Ramones at an outdoor festival when my high school punk band won a battle of the bands contest. We played together for about 5 years. I moved to Toronto from Calgary to see a musical injuries doctor, after losing my voice on my first cross-Canadian tour when I was 19. Not knowing a soul in Toronto I spent 6 months in a dark basement apartment with a 4 track and having been told not to sing I got a guitar to do it for me. A couple of years later I was playing guitar in By Divine Right and toured for 6 months opening for the Tragically Hip, mostly in front of stadium crowds of around 40,000.

  • A Concert Review by Christof Graf
    Leonard Cohen`s Tower Of Song: A Grand Gala Of Excellence Without Compromise by Christof Graf A Memorial Tribute To Leonard Cohen Bell Centre, Montreal/ Canada, 6th November 2017 A concert review by Christof Graf Photos by: Christof Graf “The Leonard Cohen Memorial Tribute ‘began in a grand fashion,” wrote the MONTREAL GAZETTE. “One Year After His Death, the Legendary Singer-Songwriter is Remembered, Spectacularly, in Montral,” headlined the US-Edition of NEWSWEEK. The media spoke of a “Star-studded Montreal memorial concert which celebrated life and work of Leonard Cohen.” –“Cohen fans sing, shout Halleluja in tribute to poet, songwriter Leonard,” was the title chosen by THE STAR. The NATIONAL POST said: “Sting and other stars shine in fast-paced, touching Leonard Cohen tribute in Montreal.” Everyone present shared this opinion. It was a moving and fascinating event of the highest quality. The first visitors had already begun their pilgrimage to the Hockey Arena of the Bell Centre at noon. The organizers reported around 20.000 visitors in the evening. Some media outlets estimated 16.000, others 22.000. Many visitors came dressed in dark suits and fedora hats, an homage to Cohen’s “work attire.” Cohen last sported his signature wardrobe during his over three hour long concerts from 2008 to 2013. How many visitors were really there was irrelevant; the Bell Centre was filled to the rim. The “Tower Of Song- A Memorial Tribute To Leonard Cohen” was sold out. Expectations were high as fans of the Canadian Singer/Songwriter pilgrimmed from all over the world to Montreal to pay tribute to their deceased idol.

    For Immediate Release SINGER-SONGWRITER RON SEXSMITH at Whistling Gardens Amphitheatre Presented by The Waterford Old Town Hall “2nd Annual Off-site Concert June 24, 2017 - An Artistic Match Made In Juno Award Winning Heaven” (Wilsonville, Norfolk County Ontario Canada – May 23, 2017) After presenting Sarah Harmer to a sold out crowd in the stunning Whistling Gardens (WG) Amphitheatre in July 2016, The Waterford Old Town Hall (OTH) is delighted to present internationally acclaimed singer- songwriter and three-time Juno award winner RON SEXSMITH June 24, 2017. “We have struck creative gold with this partnership,” says Wanda Heimbecker, Co-owner of WG. “After the brilliant success we had working with the production team at the OTH to bring Sarah Harmer to our garden amphitheatre last summer, we instantly realized the peak potential of our annual collaboration, which mirrors the caliber and diversification of other iconic Canadian botanical gardens.” Canadian Folk/ Pop Icon Ron Sexsmith released his new album, The Last Rider April 21, 2017, immediately followed by a live tour. This, Ron’s thirteenth studio recording was co-produced at The Bathouse Studios in Kingston, Ontario by longtime drummer and collaborator Don Kerr and Sexsmith. The album is his first self-produced album and the first to include Ron’s touring band which will appear with him onstage at WG. “At this point, it’s just second nature for me to write short, melodic songs that say everything I want to say,” muses Sexsmith. “But having my band totally involved on this album maybe brought out more in the songs than on other recent albums.

  • Ron Sexsmith Interview
    A Conversation with Ron Sexsmith Frank Goodman (Puremusic 2/2001) I just spent an enjoyable morning cleaning the house and listening to the first three Ron Sexsmith CDs in order. Hey man, I don’t even like to listen to three Beatles records in a row. (Brings up too many memories, for one thing, too complicated.) But Ron is an eminently listenable artist. Why? Melody, my friend. That’s what really makes songs listenable, and memorable. And Ron Sexsmith is the mellifluous king. I was talking to Steve Earle about him the other day (Steve seemed admirably glad to talk about someone other than himself), and he said, “Ron writes lyrics better than most people do. But when it comes to melody...well, he’s hard to beat.” His songs are also free of self-congratulation and narcissism, in my view. They are humble and introspective windows into the soul of a lovely person. Sometimes he catches a little flack for being morose, but it’s undeserved. He’s got lots of up songs, and his darker songs are a joy, and are almost always about love, which is a mixed bag at best. If you count his early Grand Opera Lane, Ron’s released four CDs, each better than the last. (Grand Opera Lane is now available from Canadian online retailer Maplemusic.com. I’m hot for my en route copy at this writing.) They’re all on Interscope Records, in this order: Ron Sexsmith (1995), Other Songs (1997), and Whereabouts (1999). By all appearances, Interscope has balked on a fourth recording done in Nashville and produced by partners Steve Earle and Ray Kennedy.

  • Viewable on Disney+, and a Reminder That You Do Not Need to See the Films in Order to Get the Spiritual and Human Rights Themes Expressed in the Sermon Series
    Nomadland and the Age Old Spiritual Question This year’s Academy Award Best Picture winning film “Nomadland” will be the topic of Rev. Jeff Rock's Lesson for Life, as part of our Reel Human Rights sermon series. The story centres around Fern (Francis McDormand), a “nomad” who lives in her van traveling the Mid-Western United States finding temporary work as she goes. She and a band of characters she meets along the way do stints at an Amazon shipping plant at Christmas, a National Park camp ground in the summer, and the northern beet harvest in the fall. The story follows a year in Fern’s life, but is living the nomadic life all it’s cracked up to be? Film critics have called it a commentary on the American dream and a critique of unfettered capitalism, but the film goes much deeper than that and asks THE age old spiritual question, “What is the meaning of life?” Unfortunately, “Nomadland” is only viewable on Disney+, and a reminder that you do not need to see the films in order to get the spiritual and human rights themes expressed in the sermon series. MAY 16 | 11 AM | MCC Toronto's YouTube Channel CLICK HERE TO JOIN US FOR THIS SERVICE Monday May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, a worldwide celebration of sexual and gender diversity. In his message to the United Nations the UN Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, Victor Madrigal-Borloz will lift up the fact that “the right to freedom of religion or belief, and the right to live free from violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity are both built of a promise of human freedom [and] LGBT persons deserve that promise fulfilled”.
