If you were asked to describe the music of Chad Price in three words, those words might just be, “grown folk music”. It is evident that the guitar-toting, velvety-voiced singer-songwriter has evolved out of his artistic adolescence and flourished into musical maturity.
Carly Thomas is the epitome of a worldly person: she’s lived everywhere from Argentina and France to Thailand and Canada. Aside from her powerful lyrics, Thomas’ music is characteristic of various sub-genres including modern folk, rock, and country. And it shows. Thomas brings her experience to all of her songs, offering listeners her words of wisdom through heartfelt lyrics and beautiful acoustic guitar lines.
Weaving a god’s eye. S’mores over a fire on a brisk autumn night. Tara Rice, Toronto-based vocalist, songwriter and guitarist, conjures gothic romanticism between layers of spirited storytelling. Though the majority of Rice’s latest EP, Panorama, was written, recorded and performed in her Bloor Street apartment, the mood of this alternative folk-rock album transcends the concrete city vibe.
mit that we all like to sing. We often sing in the car, while having a shower and so on, but the sensation that you are singing in a public place, knowing that everybody is watching you is quite different. Singing takes your troubles away and is relaxing, that’s why so many people get addicted to it.
Have you felt the change in the air? I have felt its refreshing essence swirling around me over the past few months. Initially this created some feelings of unease, and maybe even some fears, not knowing what exactly was brewing. After frantically searching for a “why” or “what, I chose to embrace grace, and open my heart. I chose to let go and have faith that these changes would carry me where I need to be, and reveal my purpose. Being well connected to Spirit enhances and enriches my life on every level, yet sorting out what exactly the Gods intend for us and SOTEF has been quite a journey. Fox and I have embarked on an adventure of transition. Taking a step back to deeply reflect and dedicate the time to receiving these integral messages.
After much inner reflection and consideration, we collectively reached the decision that Spirits of the Earth must change along with us. It’s not time for Spirits of the Earth to sleep…in fact she is transforming; her energy frequency is elevating and growing. We have always known that “Spirits of the Earth” was not simply an event…but an ideal, a lifestyle, and a community that carries an energy all its own.
It is said that everything we do is imprinted with our energy, which others can feel when they see or touch our work. Keeping this in mind helps us to understand how important our attitude can be when engaged in any activity we pursue. While a neutral mindset might help us create a positive outcome, a joyful mindset is more likely to create an amazing one. Simply by choosing to infuse everything we do with enthusiasm, we can create more beauty, love, abundance, and joy that will radiate out to enhance not only our lives, but the lives of all who encounter our work.
Calling all Like-Minded, Nature Lovers
