My new CD, Song Road, is now available on Bandcamp. You can preview the songs, buy digital downloads or order a physical CD. It’s also available on iTunes. I’ll be touring throughout Canada in support of this record in the coming months from The Folk Harbour Festival in Lunenburg and Stanfest in Nova Scotia to Whitehorse Yukon. I’m delighted with the reviews I’m getting. Here’s a sample:
“Working with Jaron Freeman-Fox has brought a new vibrancy to the already exquisite sound that Teresa has created in previous recordings. Teresa has always had great production but the production and arranging on Song Road by Freeman-Fox is the finest to date—production that is meaningful and beautifully serves the music. Teresa is always upping her game, her songwriting is digging deeper with worldly influences that go well beyond the Celts.”
— Tom Coxworth, CKUA Folk Routes
“What a great album! It lilts, it’s layered, it’s knee slapping, toe tapping—it’s stormy, dramatic, rhythmic, exotic, it morphs from either Celtic side of the Atlantic and soars over to India and Africa. Your lyrics are gorgeous, your voice is finely woven textures, and I LOVE all your musicians. Your lovely song for Kate is so very sad and true, but so very beautiful too.”
— Susan Sweeney-Hermon, musician, Ottawa
“Teresa Doyle is deservedly becoming a Canadian Treasure! Get to know this award winning artist well! On her latest CD, Song Road, Teresa brings her worldwide experiences in songwriting and her outstanding vocals to the mix. Jaron Freeman-Fox adds his expertise as a musician and producer to make this CD one of the gems of 2013. A genuine musical journey worth exploring!! Brilliant; worthy of worldwide acclaim!”
— Jim Marino, Freewheeling Folk Show 93.3 CFMU, Hamilton, ON
Happy gardening to all of you. I am passionate about gardening and commited to saving and sharing heritage seed. Let me know if you have a gem to share. I have lots of Australian Blue squash and heritage beans if that interests you.
Be sure to check out my gig listings and news of concerts and workshops at our beach retreat, Rock Barra Artist Retreat. My annual singing camp will be August 2-4 this year. Perhaps we’ll see you there.
All the best, Teresa
