Album Description
A dash of jazz, a dose of soul, a heartbeat of Brazilian drums, and a chorus of folk strings will be the premise for The Hitchin’ Post. Celebrating the artistic fervor of Nova Scotia’s grassroots music scene, singer/songwriter Heather Kelday invites a dynamic group of musicians to complete her vision of an album seeded in local culture. Guest artists will include:  T@B jazz and experimetal duo, Brazilian percussionists Zak and  Kiersten,  Aaron Mangle on drum kit, Paul Cressman on bass and more to be confirmed. 

Coursing the veins of Canada’s landscape, Heather Kelday depicts tales of human nature and our connection to the past. There is a strong tie to Canadian history in the song “Carmacks” which journeys deep into the Alaskan gold rush to interpret the harsh living of First Nation’s women. “Open the Night” takes listeners on the road with four young aspiring musicians and a country full of nurturing folks. In “Tide” we see Heather’s vulnerability to the tides of her home on the Bay of Fundy as she explores her own understanding of growth and loss. Songs such as “Film’s View”, “Hitchin’ Post”, and “Yellow Lady Slipper”, draw metaphors to love’s fruition, growth and a final balance. The musical intent of this project is to identify Heather’s songs as “soundscapes of human connection”.
