The Washboard Union – ‘What We’re Made Of’

The Washboard Union – ‘What We’re Made Of’ (Warner Music Canada): Less bluegrass, more crossover, the single serves as the title track to TWU's just-released 12-track sophomore album featuring their previous top 10 hit, “Shine”.

Their debut included the Top 10 hits “Maybe It’s the Moonshine” and “Shot of Glory” which became the band’s first certified gold record and set them up for a CCMA trophy in the Roots category last year.


As expected, the message is bright and uplifting, and ably spelt out in the accompanying video directed by Stefano Barberis from an original concept developed by The Washboard Union. “The clip celebrates those little moments in our lives that make us who we are," the band offers by way of explanation, adding that "Our very identities are a culmination of every experience we go through and all those who surround us. That is ‘What we’re made of.’”

Festivals News

Vancouver Folk Music Festival has announced the appointment of Corbin Murdoch as its new executive director. He is a local arts-scene veteran who recently served as the executive director of the Dawson City Music Festival and earlier worked with Theatre Replacement and the Cultch in Vancouver.

The VFMF is now heading into its 49th year. The Georgia Straight notes that "one of Vancouver’s longest-running cultural events, the festival survived a rough patch as the world was emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic." In Jan. 2023, the fest announced the cancellation of that summer's fest, but a public outcry saw that decision reversed and the event has continued annually since then.
