James Finnerty returns to hometown Toronto to release a debut EP. Joined by local bluegrass favorites Makita Hack and the Log Rollers.
***
A melancholy marriage of hope and mystery… stranded on an island amidst one and a half million people… the music of James Finnerty weaves an old-time loom of warm guitars mixed with the immediacy of here and now. Lyrics are born from free association and restless, introspective politics. Acoustic guitar, soundstream vocals and electro-play humbly take their place, following the lead of the avant-garde, electro, americana, jazz, mod, post–punk and new wave movements of the past.

Makita Hack and the Log Rollers is Georgina Blanchard (fiddle), Danny Simmons (fiddle), Kim Sedore (banjo), Alastair Miller (guitar, mandolin), Joe Myke (bass). They play rippin’ old time, bluegrass music.

The Montreal Weekend Playlist Podcast is a weekly program that streams from the Midnight Poutine website. Hosted by the dour and serious Jeremy Morris, the Weekend Playlist features songs by bands playing in Montreal. This week’s show will feature a short segment on the James Finnerty EP launch.
The Montreal Weekend Playlist #110 will also air a semi-unreleased version of Letters in a Book (a rough mix can be found on the internet here) featuring Jean-Fred Lizotte on the violin.
Unfortunately the Midnight Poutine website was spammed by hackers recently (!!) so some of their links are not working. However, you can still listen to the podcast from the Midnight Poutine homepage.
This week’s program also features music from The Darcys, In Flight Safety, Julie Doiron, 100 Dollars, Howie Beck, FSK1138, Emma Lee, Friendly Fires & Los Campesinos!
