SUMMARY:Leif Vollebekk – New Ways Tour
DESCRIPTION:Winnipeg Folk Festival Concert Series\n\n\nNew Ways is a new album by Montreal’s Leif Vollebekk\, his hotly anticipated follow-up to the Polaris Prize finalist Twin Solitude. It’s a record that lives between the kick and the snare\, in that instant of feeling before the backbeat. \n \n“The way that it was is the way it should be\,” Vollebekk sings on “Phaedrus”—a line that’s a memory and a wish. New Ways is that too: the sound of desire in its unfolding. Two years ago\, things were changing so fast\, and the songwriter didn’t want to forget. “I often think of Leonard Cohen’s line\, ‘I hope you’re keeping some kind of record\,’” he says. “So I did.” It was like he was pretending you can compose a soundtrack to your own life (which perhaps you can). \n \nIn the end\, New Ways is a document of everything Vollebekk felt\, the way each moment arrived and moved through him. Whereas Twin Solitude was about self-reflection\, New Ways is about engaging and changing\, touching and being touched. It’s a physical record\, with louder and tighter grooves\, and the rawest lyrics the musician has ever recorded. A portrait of beauty\, desire\, longing\, risk\, remembrance—without an instant of regret. “She’s my woman and she loved me so fine\,” goes the chorus to one tune. “She’ll never be back.” \n \n“Anything that I wouldn’t ever want to tell anyone—I just put it on the record\,” Vollebekk says: tenderness and violence\, sex and rebirth\, Plato and Julie Delpy. A story told through details—“the sun through my eyelids\,” “a sign on the highway covered in rain.” The songs came fast—recorded a week here\, a week there\, initially just Leif and a drummer. “After each take\, we’d go into the control room and listen back and see how it felt\,” he says. “If it didn’t feel right we’d do it again\, or switch from piano to guitar\, or change the drum sound\, or the microphones.” Once they got it\, he’d move on. Never at rest\, always in movement: 10 different tracks for 10 states of motion—each with its own pulse\, drawing the listener in. \n \nThere’s the heat of the night and the cool blue of morning\, hints of Prince and Bill Withers\, the limbo of a lover’s transatlantic flight. “Hot Tears” is all hot-blooded memory. “Apalachee Plain” is a clamorous goodbye. “I’m Not Your Lover” would be a perfect love-song were it not for its chorus—a song that lets two opposites be true at once. “That last record I made for me\,” Vollebekk admits. “This one is for someone else.” \n \nImagine the singer at the end of last September\, performing at midnight in one of Montreal’s rarest and most intimate venues—a century-old porno theatre called Cinema L’Amour\, a temple to the true and the carnal. He was sitting at a piano. The chords were moving like shadows on a wall. “She’s my woman and she loved me so fine!” Leif cried\, singing to the rafters. “She’ll never be back.” \n \nWhen everything was finally over—when the mixes were perfect and the masters cued up—Leif says listening to the album was like re-watching a film. “Now I knew what was going to happen\,” he remembers. “Now the moments didn’t feel fleeting—they felt eternal\, almost fated. The songs spoke to me differently\, but they hadn’t changed. I just heard them in New Ways.”

SUMMARY:WINTERRUPTION - Jonny Moonbeam / Gabrielle Fontaine / riel.
DESCRIPTION:Winterruption 2022 – Ila Barker\, Brunswick & Bobby Dove – Thursday\, January 27\, 2022  at X-Cues Cafe & Lounge\n\n\nJonny Moonbeam \nBusy scrolling through his intergalactic newsfeed\, lunar lad of mystery jonny moonbeam totally did not see that spy satellite he clipped\, summarily crashing his spacecraft just outside Ottawa and catapulting right into the middle of a parliamentary debate on distracted driving.  \nHe thought this was hilarious. Now stranded in Winnipeg awaiting ship repairs\, he’s been parsing CPAC and writing songs about Canadian politics and 21st century living.  \nDigging on 90’s Much Music reruns\, vintage Brit rock and any singer whose ever raised a voice for social justice\, Moonbeam (a dead ringer for Daniel Jordan of Red Moon Road) reveals a brand new 4 song collection of political rockers (Co-Produced with Rusty Matyas of Imaginary Cities and mixed/mastered by Grammy nominated Phil Bova).  \nTackling the Sunny Ways of a certain well quaffed PM\, the non-existent clothes of an orange-tinted-emperor-baby-with-a-hand-complex and what it means to ‘stand on guard for thee’\, jonny moonbeam waxes power pop politically poetic. \nGabrielle Fontaine \nGabrielle Fontaine is an Ojibwe folk-pop singer-songwriter based in Winnipeg MB. After many years of writing and performing with the award-winning pop rock band\, Indian City\, Gabrielle performs her own music and captivates audiences with her lyrics of personal experiences and perspectives of life\, often highlighting her view through an Indigneous lens.
