It’s been a privilege to work with Midnight Shine, the Cree rock band from the James Bay area. [Is that like Toronto's GTA only JBA? LOL]. Their first, self-titled CD, released recently in June 2013, was named one of CBC’s Top Five Aboriginal albums of the year. One track, “Since You Been Gone” continues to occupy top twenty status on national Aboriginal radio [without radio tracking].
We have been in the studio again this fall, working hard on their sophomore CD, which will be released on my new label, Roar Records!
