Slowcity.ca Open Mic: Bahamas, Jerry Leger, QIYUAPIK, Terra Lightfoot, Moonriivr, Graham Brown, Ryan McMahon, and Kevin Drew
“Like all my albums, we recorded Donlands mostly live in the studio with my band The Situation [Dan Mock, Kyle Sullivan, Alan Zemaitis] in a circle—no headphones, just listening and existing, breathing as a whole. To me, it’s a record that lives in its own world.” - Jerry Leger
“Pain is a hard thing to let go until you’re ready. And that’s kind of where I was at with this record. Music, for me, is a release – it’s a place where I can go and express what it is that I want to say.” - Kevin Drew
Bahamas launches free 'Live to Tape' concert series
An album I have been listening to in the background a lot has been the effortlessly engaging ‘Sad Hunk’ from Bahamas. Its a gentle sway, even the dancey bits are subtle in their soulfulness. The kids may call it yacht rock but don’t get stung by the saltiness man. To celebrate the release of the album which came out last year Bahamas (Afie Jurvanen) is organising a jam-a-long with some rad company for a free Live to Tape series beginning today Sat Jan 16 at 9 pm ET. The studio-to-studio performance stream will be running every second week for the foreseeable future. The 400 Unit join Bahamas for the first one. Upcoming guests include Dawes, Teskey Brothers, Sam Weber, Brody Simpson and there are loads more. On the Socials Bahamas says he is missing playing with other musicians and this is his way of getting past the lockdown lonelys, AND. . . we are invited!!

The saddest of the hunkiests, Bahamas, will release his latest album ‘Sad Hunk’ on Friday Oct 9 2020. Bahamas aka Afie Jurvanen has a new single, the very welcome “Trick to Happy.”
“This is a song about picking an argument with time, the very clock face, either running too fast or too slow, depending on the company you keep”. - Elvis Costello
‘En Masse’ is the latest album from Mike Edel, his fourth, it will be available Nov 20, 2020 on Pennant.
“If I could co-write a song with Springsteen and The National, then put a bit of pixie dust on it, ‘Good About Everything’ is it. I co-wrote the song with two friends in San Diego after a night of eating ramen, riding around on scooters, getting denied from a capacity tiki bar, and after seeing some friends’ show. We ultimately decided to write about what a good night we had the night before.” - Mike Edel
