Steve Brockley Band To Release Their 2nd Album "LeBoeuf" On April 16th
For Immediate Release:
March 14, 2013
(Vancouver, BC) - BC-based folk-country trio the
Steve Brockley Band are set to independently release their 2nd album
LeBoeuf on April 16th and will kick-off an extensive tour across Canada with an album release show in Vancouver on April 12th at The
China Cloud (524 Main St.).
The
Steve Brockley Band released their self-titled debut album back in 2010 to much critical acclaim and after spending the last couple of years touring across Canada playing club dates, house shows and festivals, the boys are ready to jump into their tour vehicle of choice, a wood-paneled station wagon named John Candy, to promote
LeBoeuf. The new album was produced by John Raham (Be Good Tanyas, Frazey Ford, Po' Girl) with songs written by Steve Brockley and includes all of the signature staples of the
Steve Brockley Band - storytelling, clever metaphors and great musicianship - but this one is a much more personal album for the band.
“When we recorded the first album, we were brand new and we just got in the studio and recorded and mixed the whole thing in three days – quick and dirty," says Brockley. "On this one, after spending the last couple years on the road together, we felt we owed the new material the best possible opportunity to come alive. We took the time we needed to capture the songs without chasing them away.”
Born in BC and formed in Montreal, the
Steve Brockley Band can't easily be defined by one sound or musical genre. Though it is apparent that the band is part of the tradition of folk music, they’re able to take the style in new directions without making the audience feel uprooted. The band draws varied comparisons in their music ranging from: J.J. Cale, Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, John Prine, Bob Dylan and The Band. Getting to the heart of a song is their main goal. Not just digging into the notes, but nailing those spaces in between the notes. When you’ve got a good song, you want to let it breathe. A percussive double bass swagger, drum grooves from the gut, and a rolling finger picked guitar bring their brand of folk music to life. There’s no rush to the end of a song – if it's right, it happens. The main thing is not to hurry, so nothing good gets away. And that's what the
Steve Brockley Band does best.
