New Cindy Dell CD: Gathering Tales

Gathering Tales, the latest CD from singer/songwriter Cindy Dell, has the perfect title. A collection of stories is exactly what this disc is.

Each lyric paints a different tale. From carefree fun (Fishing Song), social commentary (Glory Daze), love (Lonely Boy Timid Girl), history (For As Long as the River Flows) and much more. Cindy's words offer great emotional resonance to every topic.

The variety of the music also mirrors the lyrics. Each tune has its own sonic soul. The songstress herself sings (and what an amazing voice), plays guitar, violin, harmonica and much more. Amy Di Nino (Wark) beautifully plays drums and other percussive instruments. David E. Campbell supplies the wonderful guitars.

The CD is available at her live shows.

Below are two videos from her recent CD Release Party. We'll be posting more from this show soon.

Terry Sumsion Passes

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of local singer/songwriter Terry Sumsion. He was 64.

The following was placed on his Facebook page:

"Sadly on March 26th 2011, the world lost an amazing Husband, Father, Friend and Musician. Thank you to all of the angel's who have sent all there thought's and prayer's during this sad time." The Sumsion Family.

Terry's music was known throughout Canada, the US, England, Ireland, Scotland, and more.

Click here for a story from the Country107.3 website.

Reaction from the local music scene has been swift on Facebook. Here are a few quotes:

Duane Rutter: "I just learned we lost our brother and friend Terry Sumsion. RIP Terry! Your passing has left an unfillable void."

JP Riemens: "Just thinking about my buddy Terry Sumsion who passed away last night. He will be missed."

Alfie Smith: "You voice, songs and friendship will be missed by many."

Gary White: ""You will be missed. I dont think I ever had more fun on a stage"

We wish to extend our condolences to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.
