The versatile singer/songwriter Andy Clark will release his debut album "I Love Joyce Morris" on August 30, 2019. There he - like Animal Collective's hit "My Girls" or Tom Rosenthal's "Just As" - processes his experiences beginning parenthood. On "I Love Joyce Morris," Andy Clark is not only open to reflecting on the ups and downs of life, but also highlights the humor with which the Brit weathers it all. In the album title "I Love Joyce Morris", Andy Clark takes the name of the local apple farmer "Joyce Morris" but means his children when he also refers to the English proverb "You're the apple of my eye". He invites the listener to solve the mystery of the unusual album title themselves. "I Love Joyce Morris" is a time capsule that encourages folk and singer/songwriter fans of all ages to look back on past accomplishments, goals and dreams.
The singles "Welcome to the Party" and "But For You" that have already been released have already given an impressive insight into this and convince in sound and text with timeless singer/songwriting. In "Welcome to the Party", the first single from the album, Andy Clark invites his little daughter with charming honesty to the party of life with all its facets, the ups and downs and is an existential, satirically commented flourish on modern society : “You can photograph your dinner and stick the pictures on your page; your success depends on how many friends you can engage. It's the modern age. Welcome to the party!”
The second single "But For You", on the other hand, shows Andy Clark being vulnerable, leading the listener through his life and how it got him to this point. His engaging songwriting underscores the equal importance of suffering and happiness in life. Andy Clark has already played tours in the USA, Germany and UK, where he opened for none other than Bob Geldof and stood on the stage of the famous Glastonbury Festival. Following the album release, Andy Clark will tour Europe.

Stories from a Downtown Apartment is the highly anticipated follow-up to Celeigh Cardinal's 2017 breakout debut album Everything and Nothing at All, which earned her awards including Indigenous Artist of the Year at the 2018 Western Canadian Music Awards. In this latest collection of soulful songs, the Indigenous singer/songwriter delves into the themes of love, grief, desire and letting go.
The album brilliantly showcases Cardinal's enchanting contralto voice, reminiscent of the blues' bygone days and jazz's golden era. Its warmth, power, range and nuance are reminiscent of artists like Bonnie Raitt and Adele. Celeigh Cardinal is now touring throughout Canada and the USA and was able to freak out the full kukuun club at the last Reeperbahn Festival! In May/June, the incredible live musician will embark on a multi-week European tour through Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, France and Austria - see tour dates below.

"Celeigh is quickly becoming one of the great voices that make up the fabric of the Canadian roots music scene." - Doug Cox, Artistic Director, Vancouver Island MusicFest

After more than ten years with his indie band Everlaunch, countless international tours, festival appearances (including Hurricane, Southside, Highfield) and two successful album releases, Finner felt the need to write his own songs. While he always had to come to a democratic agreement on musical matters at Everlaunch, the songs of his solo debut “The Seaside Stories” are exclusively penned by him.
Musically, the songs move between modern folk, singer-songwriter, very occasional, light Americana influences and indie pop. A lot of acoustics can be heard there, only rarely loud guitars and above all Finner's distinctive voice, which sometimes breaks new ground on his solo debut. There is great versatility and unusual instruments to discover.
However, Finner's versatility is also evident in other artistic areas, which he knows how to combine with music. The passionate Polaroid photographer included a beautiful, hand-picked one-off Polaroid as a goodie with some of the first edition CDs!

Since Gordie Tentrees and Jaxon Haldane first came together to make music together in 2014, they have played 548 concerts in eleven countries, including well-known festivals such as Celtic Connections in Glasgow and the National Folk Festival in Canberra. Now they are releasing a special selection of songs as their debut album "Grit".
A live album, how could it be otherwise, 'Grit' was recorded during five special shows in western Canada by renowned engineer and producer Scott Franchuk (Corb Lund/CKUA). Numerous concert-goers gave the impetus to make their debut together with a live album of all things. People have repeatedly expressed the wish to take the incredible atmosphere of the Gordie Tentrees & Jaxon Haldane shows home with them.
This is no coincidence: a live show combines ten instruments - banjo, dobro, cigar box guitars, musical saw, acoustic guitar, stomp box, harmonica, snare and mandolin together with great vocal harmonies and masterful storytelling. The accumulated experience of years of touring and the 15 albums together with other band projects also do the rest to captivate the visitor. Jaxon Haldane and Gordie Tentrees both grew up in the Canadian roots scene, in which legendary songwriters like the aforementioned Fred Eaglesmith and Willie P. Bennett had a great influence on the artists' work and sometimes even took on the role of mentor.
The album "Grit" has a lot in store for the listener: The first track "Armand" was inspired by the death of the Dutch protest singer of the same name while Gordie and Jaxon were on tour in the Netherlands.
The characters that define the songs of this positive album cope with the difficulties of their lives. All songs contain and make grit (= courage), the best ingredient to overcome obstacles!

A new beginning always means a farewell. Be it about your own way of life, your homeland or the people who love you. One usually leaves a place with mixed feelings because it has become a part of us. When such a phase of life comes to an end, you also leave a piece of yourself behind and follow the call for change towards a future that, like so many other things, is uncertain.
The Australian singer-songwriter Lucas Laufen set off for Berlin in early 2016 to achieve what he lives for: making music. Growing up on the outskirts of Port Lincoln, it pulled Enter the world of music at an early age. His first piano lessons began at the age of eight, he learned to play the trumpet at the age of ten, until he discovered the acoustic guitar at the age of 17 and began to write his own songs. After school started Laufen studied medicine, which, however, was replaced by an apprenticeship as an audio engineer shortly after it began. What followed was a good, but also very tiring time. The 55-hour weeks almost never allowed me to work on my own music. And so the thought of self-actualization began to grow.
The EP "Goodbye" deals with the feelings and thoughts of that time of upheaval. Laufen recorded the entire record on his own in Port Lincoln, just before acting on his wanderlust. Even if the EP is coherent and works as a whole, each song has its own character and its own theme. "Halogen" is based on the desire not to spend one's life sitting in an office while cold halogen lamps illuminate the room. Instead chooses Run the adventure and the risk. In its essence, “Boulders” can be described as a thank you to all the people who Support running in the time of upheaval. The humility inherent in the song is the result of a broken partnership before starting over. While the oldest song on the EP "Dead Days" deals with the doubts and fears of the future, "Goodbye" finally puts in the last piece of the puzzle, the Laufen confirmed his decision. An important chapter ends and a new one takes its place.
Laufen 's EP is personally deeply rooted and still offers room for your own interpretation. We live in fast-moving times and the power of change is strong. Anyone who surrenders to it and dares to venture into the unknown can achieve great things. Lucas Laufen , who has played almost 40 concerts since arriving in Germany and built up a strong fan base, makes a great first impression on European soil with "Goodbye". At the same time, the EP lays the foundation for the dream, for the gave up his old life. The recordings for Lucas Laufen's first full-length album is already in full swing.

Michael Lane asks us to follow him. Into a world full of infinite possibilities. Completely free and without any restrictions we would live if we could only break through to this parallel side of ourselves. At least that's how he describes it on his opener "Break Through", the first track on his new album "Linger On". But what exactly awaits us there and how do we achieve this breakthrough? "Linger On" offers an insight into this topic and that through songs about dreaming, reflecting and changing.
The German-American knows many sides of life. While he was still fighting as a soldier in the US Army in Iraq and later in Afghanistan at the age of 20, he now makes a living from music. He has already been able to grasp both extremes of human life: separation and unity. “As a soldier, I witnessed the cruel absurdity of war. It is inconceivable to me what must happen in other people to make such conditions possible. After that it was clear to me that I had to find a way to do something about this madness in my own way. Music was my key. It connects people and I want to contribute to it.”
So Mike picks up where he started with his debut album "Sweet Notes", released in 2014. While the follow-up work "The Middle" (release: 2016) delved deeper into the matter, "Linger On" is the temporary peak of his artistic creativity. The album revolves around visions of a world in balance. The title track describes the wish that the beautiful and true in us should last. If you want to change the world, you have to change yourself. So we should stay and continue on our way. Don't look away, act. "There will be a voice inside your heart, still and clear. That tells you everything about us. We are near.” as heard in the title “The Night”. With this, the artist points out that one is not alone. In our hearts we already know that there are many allies out there walking the same path.
Mike produced "Linger On" almost entirely by himself. Immediately you feel the direct intimacy of the record, which immediately captivates us. Using simple means, Mike moves each element to where it belongs and also surprises with unexpected twists and sounds. While "The Middle" was kept puristic and clear, the artist developed his sound significantly further with "Linger On" and relies on flat arrangements and dreamy drum sounds. Along with the themes of content, the sound of the record fits seamlessly with Mike's visionary ideas.
Linger On builds the bridge between the wonderful utopia of people without fears and the harsh reality in which we live. With a large portion of devotion, the artist stimulates us to take a journey into our inner being. In the hope that we will find the key to our true self and our actual consciousness there. In this sense: Linger On.

The story of the German-American singer/songwriter Michael Lane begins in Nuremberg in 1986. He was born there to a German mother and a US GI. After the family moved to the American state of Wisconsin in 1993, he joined the US Army at the age of 20, which sent him to the Iraq war for 15 months and later to Afghanistan. And it is this experience that shows him his true purpose as a musician.
By realizing the futility of war, Michael Lane learns that there is nothing more important than the moment and the time you have. Time that is too valuable to give away. Today, Michael Lane loves and lives in the moment. And he captures it in his songs.
With his debut album "Sweet Notes", released in 2014, Michael Lane finally broke free and was able to establish himself in the German singer/songwriter scene straight away. This is followed by small, great concerts all over Germany, where he inspires audiences and media alike with his incredibly warm voice.
Compared to his debut, the artist also takes a clear step towards the essence of the song in terms of composition and production. On "The Middle" the listener always finds very reduced, organic and strongly influenced by acoustic instruments songs between modern folk, indie and pop, which find their way into the ear undisguised. "The Middle" is carried by Michael Lane's direct and warm voice, which invites you to be drawn into the music's pull, but also to think and listen. The intensity of the album "The Middle" clearly marks the peak so far of the extraordinarily talented singer and songwriter.

Over the past few years, we've seen Michael Lane express both positive upheaval and pain through his music. Personal stories that we can identify with. Now it's time for Michael Lane's new album, Traveling Son (Greywood/Timezone), out October 25th. "Traveling Son" portrays the story of a six-year-old boy who traveled 7,000 miles with his mother to a place that never became home. For the first time, the album includes, in addition to numerous original compositions, titles that were written together with other musicians, who let their own personality infuse. Thus “Traveling Son” becomes a common expression of fragility. In "Believe", the album's first single, Michael Lane is not afraid to step against modern social norms and invites the listener to rediscover their own perspective, even their stubbornness. "Believe" encourages the repressed version of yourself to break free from the shackles to follow your dreams.
The German-American got to know many facets of life. As a 20-year-old soldier in the US Army in Iraq, stationed a little later in Afghanistan and at the same time with a great penchant for music, Michael Lane was able to experience the extremes of life early on: Separation from war and unity in music. "As a soldier I witnessed the cruel absurdity of the war. It is inconceivable to me what must happen in other people to make such conditions possible. After that it was clear to me that I had to find a way in my own way to do Something against this madness. Music was my key. It connects people to each other and I want to contribute to that."

Mo Klé aka René Grünenfelder writes songs and sings them. That makes him a singer-songwriter, a songwriter. He writes them, mostly at night, always with a guitar on his knees and a pen in his hand. The Swiss musician grew up with his parents' love for the folk and pop music of the 60s and 70s. Nevertheless, as a teenager he was drawn to punk. He earned his spurs there in a band for 10 years and gained stage experience. Today he strikes much calmer tones, which are based on the old folk singers. The DIY attitude and the claim to stimulate thought with his texts have remained.
While some keep a diary to record their thoughts, Mo Klé writes songs. He tells his stories with English or German texts and sets them to music with guitar and harmonica. Songwriting helps him not to take himself and everything around him too seriously. A lot of songs have been created over the years.
He released six of them with his debut EP "Fighter In The Sky" on January 25, 2019. The slow estrangement between friends, the lack of understanding about the German grandfather who lost his youth in World War II and times keep changing wishing back and inner struggles with oneself are themes that can be found on the EP. Of course, love shouldn't be missing either. The single "Mercenary" will be released on November 16, 2018. The song is carried by a sweet and sad cello melody and packs the feeling of wasting your life for the ideals of others.
The recordings were made in Winterthur's Casablanca Recording Studios by Jo Eberhard. Jo Eberhard was once Mo Klé's guitar teacher. The two share a passion for playing the guitar and great singer-songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Hannes Wader. Central to the recording process were Mo Klé's vocal, harmonica and guitar tracks. Atmosphere not perfection were in the foreground. Drums (Kevin Akermann), bass (Jo Eberhard), cello (Isabel Gehweiler), saxophone (Nicola Holenstein) were arranged and recorded around the takes.

The long-awaited successor “Turn It Golden!” will be released at the end of September. On this album there is little left of the simple and raw sound of the debut. While the first album was still firmly anchored in the tradition of American folk music, the new songs show many different facets that transcend the narrow boundaries of the genre without forgetting its roots.
The result is a very versatile album, whose songs are nevertheless unmistakably songs of the TS Eliot Appreciation Society: from the John Fahey'esque folk-instrumental "Anne's Lullaby" to the brittle pop of "The Fall" and the hypnotic kraut-folk of the single "The Grand Tour". The sometimes hallucinatory lyrics tell stories of people seeking meaning in chaotic times.
