TORONTO ON — It’s now been a decade since Craig Robertson released his debut solo album, and during that time the Canadian singer/songwriter has made five more recordings that have found him grow into one of the most compelling voices within the roots music community.
Robertson’s latest collection, Running The Other Way, out September 20, is another major step forward — 10 new songs that explore complex personal territory, set against the backdrop of Canada’s vast landscape. That feeling is captured beautifully on the album’s first single, “New Brunswick By Noon,” a quietly intense travelogue with deep personal meaning for Robertson. “I really love how that song turned out,” he says. “My family’s roots are in New Brunswick and I’ve done a lot of driving to the east coast. I tried to convey a sense of traveling in that part of the country in the overall vibe.”
“New Brunswick By Noon” is available now at Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.
Robertson now makes his home in Cambridge, Ontario, where he recorded Running The Other Way with the aid of his longtime bassist Jeff Dunk, multi-instrumentalist James McKie (formerly of Jerry Leger’s band the Situation), guitarists Andrew Barker and Ken Yoshioka, with Constantina Stehlik adding backing vocals. Running The Other Way’s finely crafted sound was augmented further through horn parts arranged by Sabatino Vacca, conductor of the Cambridge Symphony Orchestra, with the final mix done by Robertson’s trusted collaborator James McKenty (Blue Rodeo, Cuff The Duke, Matthew Barber).
As this is a Pay What You Can event, all contributions go directly to the performers on stage and are always greatly appreciated.
