Travelling is a theme of the record, with song titles like \u201cThrough These Streets,\u201d \u201cA Highway Song\u201d and \u201cHomecoming.\u201d These ten tracks come courtesy of a highly talented group of musicians, superbly produced by Gemini Award-winning producer\/engineer Norman Dugas (Leaderhouse, Daniel ROA) and mixed and mastered by Kyle Sierens (Sick City, Common Lives). Formerly known as the Guy Abraham band, which was named after its SOCAN Award-winning singer-songwriter, the group has a warm, acoustic flare, combining soft melodies, (partly due to the very talented Saya Gahungu on violin) with large, bold vocals. The record incorporates not only percussion and guitars, but also features pianos and organs, and it showcases both the group\u2019s artistic and musical talents. The Duhks\u2019 Sarah Dugas makes an appearance on \u201cA Highway Song,\u201d along with Dust Rhinos\u2019 Dale Brown, who adds additional violin on \u201cSo Much More\u201d and \u201cBreakdown in the Afterglow.\u201d Other Duhks Cristian Dugas and Scott Senior have also recently contributed to some upcoming tracks. With reflective and heartfelt songs that hold a creative edge, these local musicians are well on their way to making a name for themselves.
