UPDATE: The Coast has an interview with Tanya today: Tanya Davis’ Gorgeous talk

Says Tanya:

I made a record, over one long Halifax winter. I invited all of my talented musical friends to play on it with me. I arranged some grandiose songs, and some simple ones. I sang words both forthright and true. I didn’t scheme style nor genre nor strategy… perhaps the record will surprise some of you as much as it surprised me. It was a great project and I am very pleased to release this record, to present this piece of work to you. Please join me in celebration.

advance tickets available at lost and found (corner of harris and agricola) - cash only

Says Rob:
The album is beautiful. It ends on a very strong note with two of my favorite songs from Tanya.

“us this day” is a beautiful meditation on religion and differences of opinion and how we should celebrate and accept those differences [my take anyways].

“Do More” is a upbeat ending [gang vocals…kinda…] to “gorgeous morning” and great song to start your Friday with via your very own copy purchased Thursday night.

There will also likely be a who’s who of the local music scene in attendance performing with Tanya as there was quite a line up that recorded the album with her.
