Wow! Well after a year of keeping our heads down, digging into our work in education, us Heartaches are feeling pretty darn busy!
Thank you to everyone who has reached out to tell us you enjoyed our performance at in Aeolian Hall’s Phoenix Sessions. It was a very special experience for us, to record a set of music in that gem of a building. We are so grateful to everyone who subscribed to their series. The series has more amazing shows coming up this month, and really, anything you can do to help artists right now is so important. Here’s a shot we took of our video playing in our living room.
Yesterday we were surprised to hear that Martin & Amanda Lynn have been jointly nominated in the FOLK category for a Forest City London Music Award! We are thrilled and honoured to be named at all, and of course very grateful to our bandmates James and Dan who we have spent so many hours playing with!
We are also awed to be considered in the same category as some good friends and stellar musicians. Paul Mills, legendary producer, Shane Cook, nationally celebrated fiddler, stellar acts The Pairs and Carly Thomas, and the beloved Rant Maggie Rant round out the nominees in the Folk category. We really are pinching ourselves to be on a list with these folks. Whoever you chose to support, we hope you will vote in the awards. Voting is daily at https://voting.fclma.ca/ until April 30th.
For a number of years Amanda Lynn worked to help plan the awards education day, and we know it is truly a labour of love for those who pull these community recognition events together! Thank you to those from the Forest City London Music Awards who are working so hard to pull together this celebration of arts when we so badly need it.
Here’s another screenshot from our Aeolian video! You can still stream the video until April 16th at Aeolian if you become a subscriber (link above).
