More Like Lightning, the newest album from local singer songwriter, Peter Tigchelaar, is like a journey within a CD.
With its pop-folk sound plus the lyrical allusions to blues and honkytonks there's an unmistakable sense of home.
Despite those homey roots, the sound does have a bit of a world flavour and offers the listener the feel of an exotic, warm-inviting cafe performance. Ukelele, viola, glockenspiel, accordion, cellos and more add to the international atmosphere.
The spiritual lyrics also provide a journey that goes beyond the physical. This disc will see your mind travelling outward and inward (occasionally at the same time).
More Like Lightning earned a Hamilton Music Award nomination last year for Religious Recording.
Peter's fellow travellers on the CD include Harrison Kennedy & Cheryl Tigchelaar (backing vocals), Ron Cole (accordion), James Hill & Mike Donnely (ukeleles), Andrew Tigchelaar (bass), Tone Valcic (percussion), and Anne Janelle (cello, viola & cello banjo).
The album is available through Peter's website as a psycical CD and download.

New S.G. Sinnicks CD: The Last Irishman in Corktown

Sinnicks's lyrics incorporate politics (Christians, Miss America) Hamilton culture (the title track), and much more. The result is a down to earth, honest recording.
There are many shades on this disc. From the high energy of Man from the Ministry to the jazzy tones of Face and the Celtic influences of the title track. The musical artistry is amazing.
Steve's backed by a number of local musicians, Tone Valcic, Randal Hill, Dino Verginella and Michael Boguski (of Blue Rodeo)
The CD is available at his live shows and at his website. You can also download it from his site.
Below is an interview and live performance of the title track.

Fred's wonderful guitar work and expressive vocals permeate the album. His sound is a beautiful mix of pop, modern folk, and more. Highlights include the catchy More Than One Way, the tender and sweet Cedar Lane, Co-Star, and the title track.
He also enlisted the aid of Hamilton musicians Lisa Winn (vocals), Andrew Aldridge (guitar) and Tone Valcic (drums)- all of whom add a great, unique feel to the recordings.
You can pick up the disc at his shows but they're also available on iTunes
