New & Upcoming Album Releases: David Vertesi Goes Acoustic, Bryan Adams Hosts a Holiday Jam

This week also features a new country album from Johnny 99, the solo project of John Sponarski, guitarist in City and Colour. Find the full calendar of new releases here.

Album releases are slowing with Thanksgiving in the U.S. and the onset of the holiday season, but there are some notable Canadian releases coming this week. Leading the pack is a new release from David Vertesi, best known as the leader of popular indie rockers Hey Ocean!. The B.C. singer-songwriter launched his solo career in 2010 with Cardiography. He celebrates its 15th anniversary by releasing Cardiography (Acoustic), a drastically stripped-down reimagining of that acclaimed album. It was recorded in a live, minimalist setting with production by longtime collaborator Daniel Klenner (Peach Pit, Dear Rouge, Hey Ocean!).

Here is a live performance video of the acoustic version of album track, “All Night, All Night, All Night," featuring guest vocals by Hannah Georgas. She was also on the original cut.
