New Album in the Works! Welcome to my off grid "Outpost" in Quebec. I find it easier to focus on projects out in the peace and quiet. I look forward to updating you with new material soon! This group of songs is inspired by eastern Canada, everywhere from Lake Superior to Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.
The people who live a life of service dedicated to a cause or helping others before themsleves, often have the strongest of characters, are the ones who are typically only recognized LONG after the fact.. Sadly it seems years or decades after they've left us. During their lives, they do so much yet are only known in their local areas while the show offs, loud personalities and attention seeking crowd enjoys (usually a brief) time in the spotlight.
I see this far too much, and it's lit a fire in me to do a side project called Unsung Heroes, about those modest and humble servants among us. Acadian story teller from Annapolis Royal Nova Scotia, Alan Melanson is one of those!
I've started up a video series! It's dedicated to unsung heroes I come across in my travels - those people who are largely unknown to the general public but have made important and selfless contributions throughout their life. Here is the first episode!
I was honoured to have recently been given a showcase in "Canadian Musician" Magazine! Check it out :) I found this out a couple of months late, but whatever!
