How about that for high rotation!

Catherine MacLellan

After releasing her debut album in 2004, Catherine MacLellan earned immediate critical acclaim, winning awards and being labeled “Critics Favourite New Discovery” by Penguin Eggs magazine in 2008.
Since then she has toured internationally and her music has been a perennial fixture at the top of Canada’s Roots Music Charts, winning acclaim from international media including the Austin Chronicle, The Boston Globe, BBC Radio, Maverick Magazine and Q Magazine.

Her latest release, The Raven’s Sun, takes the listener further along Catherine’s journey in song, delving deeper into the territories of life, death and transformation. Produced by her long-time musical partner, Chris Gauthier, The Raven’s Sun shines light on their musical chemistry and catches them both at their best.

Recorded in the woods outside of Woodstock, NY by Grammy Award winning Danny Blume, it features stellar guest performances by Nashville fiddler Any Leftwich. This album is another reminder that Catherine’s songwriting is unparalleled among performers of her generation.
