There's a new slate of new Canadian music releases out this week, and we're adding them to our ongoing calendar of new and upcoming albums.
Prominent artists with new releases out this week include the adventurous Montreal duo of Sarah Pagé and Patrick Graham, veteran jazz stylist Holly Cole, acclaimed Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Tariq, Ottawa-based blues-rock combo Murray Kinsley & Wicked Grin and Quebec singer-songwriter Lou-Adriane Cassidy(a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nominee).
Harpist Sarah Pagé (The Barr Brothers) and percussionist Patrick Graham release their collaborative instrumental album Littoral States via Envision Records. The record employs a unique array of exotic instruments from around the globe. To celebrate the release, the duo has booked a three-stop tour, including a launch show in Montreal on Jan. 26 at La Sala Rossa Montreal, alongside performances in Ottawa and Vancouver. Tickets are available here.
