As holiday music takes over the release schedule, there are some notable releases from Canadian artists this week.
Innovative Montreal DJ, graphic novelist ,director and producer Kid Koala has taken his highly-praised live cinematic theatre experience The Storyville Mosquito across the U.S., Europe, Asia and recently Mexico and it checks into National Arts Centre for a two-week run, Dec. 3-13. Coinciding with the performance, a limited-edition, physical-only 10 inch picture disc vinyl has just been released featuring its never-before-issued soundtrack.
East Coast singer-songwriter and former Hey Rosetta! frontman Tim Baker has just released a deluxe version of 2024's much-praised holiday-inspired album, Full Rainbow of Light. This edition features three new songs: a cover of Jackson Browne's “The Rebel Jesus,” plus two originals, “A Little Bit of Room” and “Every Ribbon.” Baker describes the latter tune as "Quite sad, but wrapped in bright paper so to speak. It’s a song about someone dreading Christmas, not because they’re some cartoonish Scrooge, but because the good memories of Christmases now gone are too painful to relive.”
Baker is now playing his annual Christmas shows, with select solo dates across Ontario plus three full band concerts with his 'All Hands' band back in Newfoundland. Shows info here.
Also in the holiday mood is acclaimed pop singer-songwriter Jeffery Straker, who has just delivered a seasonal album, A Very Prairie Christmas. He is supporting it with a series of Christmas shows out west. Details here.
