Music's Journey INTERVIEW w/ Legendary Singer/Songwriter ''Andy Kim'' 

ANDY KIM CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 

PRESENTED BY THE AIR MILES® REWARD PROGRAM  

Television Special in support of Crew Nation, CAMH Gifts of Light and Food Banks Canada airs Saturday, December 19 at 8 p.m. on Citytv and Citytv.com  

Visit Donate.AndyKimMusic.com to support these important causes  

Featuring performances by Andy Kim, Barenaked Ladies, Broken Social Scene, Buffy Sainte-Marie, City and Colour, Glass Tiger & Roch Voisine, Jully Black, Ron Sexsmith, Sam Roberts, Sarah McLachlan, Serena Ryder & William Prince 

The 16th Annual Andy Kim Christmas Special, presented by AIR MILES will make its national television debut on Citytv and Citytv.com as well as streamed globally at LiveNation.com. The two-hour music special will broadcast from Toronto’s one and only, El Mocambo on December 19 at 8 p.m.  

Going into its 16th year, the Andy Kim Christmas Special Presented by AIR MILES has been gathering friends and fans together to celebrate the spirit and generosity of the musical community with all proceeds going to charity. Instead of a live audience in a venue, this year’s show will bring people together from coast to coast on Citytv, Citytv.com, and LiveNation.com. The program is the brainchild of music legend, and one of the evening's performers, Andy Kim.  

“I was on the verge of having to postpone the 16th year of my Christmas show and was truly bummed out. I kept thinking of all the people who are having a difficult time economically, spiritually, and emotionally. I did not want to abandon the purpose of my yearly show - giving to those in need at this time of year. With the support of Live Nation Canada, Rogers, and Air Miles, I am excited to bring the Andy Kim Christmas Special from coast to coast for the first time and hopefully raise an incredible amount of money to very worthy causes through the power of music,” said Andy Kim.  

Hosted by Sportsnet host and Juno-nominated musician, Tara Slone as well as Cityline host Tracy Moore, this one-of-a-kind charity event will treat Canadians to a classic variety entertainment show that includes performances by some of the country's most sought-after singer/songwriters and performers. Viewers can look forward to seeing Andy Kim, Barenaked Ladies, Broken Social Scene, Buffy Sainte-Marie, City and Colour, Glass Tiger & Roch Voisine, Jully Black, Ron Sexsmith, Sam Roberts, Sarah McLachlan, Serena Ryder & William Prince throughout the special.  

“Andy Kim’s Christmas is an expression of Love. From the beginning of his career, he spoke to what love and giving meaning in our lives. Now we need love and giving more than ever,” said Riley O’Connor, Chairman, Live Nation Canada.  

During the duration of the program, viewers will be encouraged to visit Donate.AndyKimMusic.com to support three great causes: Crew Nation, CAMH Gifts of Light, and Food Banks Canada. AIR MILES is proud to present the program and encourages viewers to log onto airmiles.ca/AndyKim to use Miles towards rewards that directly benefit Food Banks Canada.  

"Leveraging our Program to support those who need us most is part of who we are at AIR MILES, and we are thrilled to be presenting the Andy Kim Christmas Special in support of Crew Nation, Food Banks Canada, and CAMH,” said Blair Cameron, President, AIR MILES Reward Program. “While the holidays will undoubtedly look very different for many of us this year, we are proud to help create an experience that brings Canadians together through a rewarding holiday experience they can enjoy from the comfort of their homes.”  

Live music inspires millions around the world, but the concerts we all enjoy wouldn’t be possible without the countless crew members working behind the scenes. Crew Nation is a charitable fund, created to support independent workers who are the backbone of the live music industry, who have been left without work. So far, the fund has raised $15 million, helping 15,000 live music crew members across 48 countries who were impacted by the rescheduled or canceled shows scheduled to take place through 2020.  

CAMH Gifts of Light is a 100 percent donation-funded program that meets the unique needs of its patients. Items provided by Gifts of Light, like emergency kits and pajamas, make a difference year-round, but particularly during the holidays. By supporting Gifts of Light, you can help more than 14,000 patients each year find the hope, strength, and courage they need to get through their hardest days and find a better tomorrow.  

Food banks across Canada have been severely impacted by COVID-19. The operational capacity is strained due to the loss of volunteers and changes due to public health requirements while in some areas, they're also facing increased public demand for support. The funds from Andy Kim’s Christmas Show will help Food Banks Canada with the immediate, emergency needs, and to prepare for what’s to come.

Music's Journey Podcast INTERVIEW w/ Pop Duo ''Command Sisters'' Listen NOW!!  

 

MUSIC'S JOURNEY PODCAST 

INTERVIEW 

w/ Special Guests Pop Duo ''Command Sisters'' 

Hosted by Kim Cyr 

Presented by NOW and THEN Magazine

INTERVIEW w/ Special Guest Pop Duo ''Command Sisters'' LISTEN NOW

Command Sisters  

"Lonely Lullaby"  

New Digital Single  

Command Sisters unveil their new single “Lonely Lullaby” today via 21 Entertainment/Republic Records/Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company.  

On the meaning behind the song, Command Sisters say, “‘Lonely Lullaby’ is about those chaotic and addictive relationships most of us have in our early 20s...you know you need to leave, but you stay. It’s toxic, yet you only find comfort from the one that causes you pain. They are your ‘reason and your remedy.’ They are your ‘Lonely Lullaby.’”  

Lonely Lullaby

“Lonely Lullaby” arrives on the heels of their debut single, “I Can Do What I Want To” and its follow-up “I Like It,” which Billboard praised as “a catchy, guitar-driven track about a fiery, undeniable attraction.” All three tracks were recorded in Los Angeles with award-winning producer Tim Pagnotta (Walk The Moon, Weezer, Blink 182, Neon Trees). “Lonely Lullaby” also sets the stage for their debut EP, slated for the top of 2021.

Be on the lookout for more news coming from Command Sisters soon!

INTERVIEW w/ Special Guest Pop Duo ''Command Sisters'' LISTEN NOW​​​​​​​

Guitar at the ready, attitude on point, two women walk into the room in red, black, and white...

If they stepped out of a frame from a Quentin Tarantino flick, no one would question it. The sister duo—Charlotte and Sarah Command—turn life’s ups and downs into alternative music underpinned by live instrumentation and bold production. From music to fashion, the Toronto band makes a statement with everything they do.

“It started with red,” says Sarah. “I wanted a color that would symbolize the power of our last name,‘Command.’ Along with love and heartbreak, red resembles boldness. I needed that. For the majority of my life, I wasn’t a very confident person. Then, we embraced black-and-white, because we are a yin and yang, my sister and I. Our look reflects our synergy; the songs that Charlotte writes partnered with the instrumentation I bring. This is our identity.”

The sisters worked towards crystallizing that identity since childhood in small-town Alberta. As children, they started harmonizing together before eventually performing local shows. In middle school, they cut their teeth on the country music circuit, packing the Bluebird Café in Nashville, touring Asia, emerging victorious at the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and performing for Yoko Ono during the celebration of John Lennon’s 75thbirthday.

In 2016, they settled in Toronto, and the move represented a turning point. Embedding themselves in the scene, they honed a combination of killer songcraft, social media savvy, and IDGAF style.

“Growing up in a small town, I feel like I wasn’t really being who I am as a person,” admits Sarah. “I was assessing myself due to the culture and the people around me. I dropped out of high school because I was bullied really badly. When we got to Toronto, we were surrounded by so many different types of identities and found support for who we are.”

“In Toronto, you feel like you can be yourself and be accepted,” Sarah continues. “We took all of these pictures in crazy red outfits and would show up to events like that. We decided to share what we were doing, and we found a community on Instagram that supported being loud and being ourselves. Tattoos and piercings were a symbol of us becoming who we are as sisters in a band and not being afraid,” she says, highlighting that many of her musical heroes are represented in her tattoos.

They immediately hit the studio and focused on crafting a scorching sonic style influenced by everyone from 1975 to Alanis Morissette, Hall & Oates to Lenny Kravitz. Sarah drew on a lifelong love of shred gods such as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Orianthi, as Charlotte nodded to the songcraft of Sia and The Weeknd, cultivating a sharp signature sound steeped in mind-blowing musicality and tight hooks.

As they attracted a growing following, they ignited stages on both sides of the border in addition to forming coveted relationships with Martin Guitars, PRS Guitars, Marshall Amps, MAC Cosmetics, and Boss/Roland, to name a few. Along the way, they inked a deal with 21 Entertainment / Universal Music Canada / Republic Records.

“I’m inspired by songwriting that tells a story and resonates on a deeper level,” Charlotte reveals. “I want to display emotion in brutally honest lyrics and disruptive production on a sonic level. A twist of our two loves: alternative and anthemic music.”

They introduce this style on their debut single “I Can Do What I Want To,” recorded in LA with Tim Pagnotta (Walk The Moon, Weezer, Blink 182, Neon Trees). The title says it all -embodying empowerment, standing up for yourself, and not asking for anyone’s permission -something the band knows all too well as they were first coming up in the music industry.

“It really pissed me off,” says Sarah in response to hearing over and over that another girl band would never cut through. “We’ve heard so many times, why should anyone care about another ‘female’ rock duo, but we decided that we weren’t going to listen to anyone else but what our gut told us. This song is about doing what you want and not apologizing for it.”

The song is accompanied by a D.I.Y. music video directed by the band and shot on an iPhone in their apartment during the quarantine. A visual so strong you’d think it was shot on a soundstage by a big name director...but once again the band has proven they can do it themselves, their way, regardless of life’s challenges. “Command Sisters is my sister Charlotte writing these songs while I create the image that embodies our music. We want our world to be something you can’t look away from even if you try to,” Sarah says.

“We’re two sisters who love making music,” Charlotte leaves off. “I want listeners to see that. We pour our hearts and souls into this. Hopefully, it makes you feel something.”

“On a deeper level, this feels like our life purpose,” Sarah concludes. “We try to make our music and career an example of perseverance, staying strong, and continuing to follow your passion.”

Music's Journey Podcast INTERVIEW w/ Pop Duo ''Via Barcelonia'' New Album Wonderland Set to Release Oct 9th!  

Music's Journey Podcast 

INTERVIEW 

w/ Special Guest   

Pop Duo ''Via Barcelonia'' 

Hosted by Kim Cyr 

Presented by NOW and THEN Magazine

www.nowandthenmagazine.com 

INTERVIEW w/ Special Guest Andrew Allen from Duo Via Barcelonia

Pop Duo ''VIA BARCELONIA'' Set To Release Their Debut Album Oct 9th! 

''Wonderland'' 

BC based pop duo Via Barcelonia releasing their debut album Wonderland on October 9 via all streaming platforms. Wonderland is an intriguing mix of songs about life’s ups and downs, focusing on relationships, breakups, finding yourself, adventuring, and so much more. 

“We really wanted to create an album that we'd be stoked to listen to, a collection of songs that bring you up and down on a cool journey. This album feels more refined as we set out to better merge the soundscapes of pop/folk songwriting with some world music inspiration,” said Andrew Allen. 

Comprised of Platinum-selling, international recording artist Andrew Allen and percussionist, vocalist, and producer Taylor McKnight, Via Barcelonia sets out to create pop-influenced world music with a nod to the music of the past and a leap into the music of the future. The duo released their debut single “Just Wanna Dance” in 2018 which reached over 40,000 streams in the first week. Following the success of their hit single, they released their debut EP in 2019, earning them a FACTOR grant for their upcoming EP release.  

Via Barcelonia has headlined for events including the Richmond World Music Festival, Parks Alive, Harmony Arts Festival, BX Press Cidery, Metabridge Teach Event, and Sun FM Boat Cruise, and have co-written songs with multi-platinum songwriters and productions by JUNO award-winning producers.  

The Vernon-raised pop star—who has made a name for himself collaborating with the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen and Cody Simpson—performed with Via Barcelonia at the BX Press Cidery and Orchard on July 26, 2019. 

The 8-track album Wonderland is a catchy collection of songs that exemplifies the duos successful ability to merge the sounds of time with the sonics of the world. 

Emerging Canadian pop duo Via Barcelonia are back with a new video for their track “Somebody”. 

Filmed in Kelowna, B.C., and shot by Lee Watkins, the video is inspired by the Paul Simon “Call Me Al” video.  

“We wrote the song in a way that it almost speaks to us,” says the band. “Challenging ourselves to recognize the importance of relationships over perfection and over goals…the video, shot in a quirky and fun ‘one shot’ kind of way, demonstrates Taylor looking to have fun which initially challenges Andrew who’s trying to get it ‘perfect’.”

Via Barcelonia - Somebody (Official Video)

Canadian based pop duo Via Barcelonia, release the music video for their new single “Lost and Found”.  Written and filmed in LA before COVID, the video is simple yet stunning – the duo really wanted to focus to be on the lyrics and the simplicity of an acoustic sound. “We wrote the song in thinking of the many things you lose and find through life, and the challenges and beauty it presents,” said Andrew Allen.

Grammy® Award-nominated multiplatinum singer and songwriter JULIA MICHAELS is back with her first solo release of 2020 and highly anticipated brand-new single, “Lie Like This,”  

Julia Michaels 

"Lie Like This" 

Grammy® Award-nominated multiplatinum singer and songwriter JULIA MICHAELS is back with her first solo release of 2020 and highly anticipated brand-new single, “Lie Like This,” today. 

Produced by The Monsters & Strangerz [Dua Lipa, Halsey, Maroon 5], the track exudes dancefloor energy with a rapid BPM and neon synths.  Her intimate delivery builds with the beat towards a hummable hook. With its glossy soundscape and uncontainable spirit, “Lie Like This” shows another side of Julia representative of her penchant for pushing boundaries. 

Regarding the song, she shared, “It’s about being hesitant about this new, beautiful thing and just giving in anyway, because you know that it’s really special. There are so many spectrums of love. One minute, you're crying on the floor because you've been broken up with or something didn't work out the way that you wanted to. Then, all of a sudden, you're kissing in a park and you're holding hands with someone new and you've got all these butterflies. It's just such a broad spectrum, such a range of emotions—love—and I wanted to distill its essence into a song.”

About Shawn Mendes: 

GRAMMY nominated Toronto born multi-platinum singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes released his highly anticipated self-titled third album in May 2018. The certified platinum album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 Chart as well as multiple additional worldwide markets. It shot to #1 on iTunes in more than 80 countries immediately upon release. The album became one of the top best-selling album debuts of 2018 and made Shawn the third youngest solo artist to ever have three consecutive #1 albums. Shawn was nominated in two categories for the 61st annual GRAMMY® Awards, including “Song of the Year” for “In My Blood” and “Best Pop Vocal Album” for SHAWN MENDES. Most recently, Shawn was nominated for a GRAMMY for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” for his single with Camila Cabello, “Señorita.” The song debuted at #1 on iTunes worldwide and broke Spotify’s record for the biggest debut from a male/female duet in its history, going on to become the most streamed song on Spotify in 2019. The hit nabbed the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart as well as #1 at Top 40 & Hot AC Radio. Last summer Shawn debuted his certified platinum single, “If I Can’t Have You,” at #1 on iTunes and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. With “Señorita” at #1 and “If I Can’t Have You” at #2, Shawn is the first male solo artist ever to simultaneously hold the #1 and #2 place on the Top 40 chart. In April 2017, Shawn released his 3x platinum hit “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back.” The track scored Shawn his second #1 single at Top 40 radio and on Billboard’s Pop Songs chart, joining his 7x platinum single “Stitches.” Throughout his career, Shawn has achieved 3 consecutive #1 album debuts, 3 platinum albums, and 11+ consecutive platinum and multi-platinum singles. Worldwide, he has sold over 20 million albums, 175 million singles, and has amassed over 31 billion strong streams and over 8 billion YouTube views. Shawn has completed two sold-out world tours with over one million tickets sold, selling out legendary stadiums and arenas including NYC’s Madison Square Garden and London’s O2 Arena in minutes. On his most recent tour, he sold out his first ever stadium show in minutes at Rogers Centre in his hometown of Toronto. The tour began in March 2019, with over 100 dates across the UK, Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia and Australia/New Zealand.  Shawn has nearly 50 Billion global streams and 8.6 billion video views. He topped Billboard’s “21 Under 21” in 2017 and 2018 and has been featured on Forbes “30 Under 30,” Spotify’s “25 Under 25,” and Time Magazine’s “Time 100 Most Influential”. In 2018, ROI Influencer Media recognized Shawn as the #1 Most Influential Artist and #1 Most Influential Teen across all social media platforms. 

In 2019 Shawn launched The Shawn Mendes Foundation, which seeks to inspire Shawn’s audience, the youth generation of today—to learn about those causes that they are passionate about, and help empower them to use the voice they have to bring change to the world by taking action & giving back.  As part of its ongoing mission, the Foundation provides resources and support to amplify the voices, messages, and platforms of young leaders driving positive change.

Finneas Unveils Poignant New Song & Video,  “What They'll Say About Us” – Out Today​​​​​​​​​​​​​​! Check It Out... 

Finneas Unveils Poignant New Song & Video, 

“What They'll Say About Us” – Out Today​​​​​​​  

Wednesday, September 2, 2020 — TORONTO, ON - Six-time GRAMMY® Award-winning musician, songwriter, and producer FINNEAS returns with the release of “What They’ll Say About Us” (AWAL) today. A powerful and moving observation, written in lockdown; the song is an ode to human strength and connection when faced with life’s tribulations.  

“What They’ll Say About Us,” while buoyed by hope, bears the weight of it all. FINNEAS reveals "I wrote this song in June after spending the day at a protest in Downtown LA, filled with hope with the prospect that millions of people were coming together from all over the world to fight against institutionalized racism and inequality. During that time, I’d also been following Amanda Kloots as she documented her husband Nick Cordero’s time in the ICU while in a coma after being admitted for COVID-19. Imagining her sitting by his side, waiting, hopeful for him to wake up, it got me thinking about all the millions of people, all over the world, who also have loved ones, parents, children and extended family members going through the same thing. Fighting this horrific virus. Some will over-come and wake up again, while others, tragically may not. This song is dedicated to all who have had to endure this year. I hope this song can offer some sort of comfort to those who may need it.”  

Listen to “What They’ll Say About Us” HERE.  

Paired with an intimate video, shot in one-take and directed by frequent collaborator, Sam Bennett, 

watch the official music video for “What They’ll Say About Us” HERE.

  

“What They’ll Say About Us” follows the release of his critically acclaimed debut EP, Blood Harmony DELUXE. Written and produced entirely by the 23-year-old artist, the eight-track collection exemplifies his skills as a songwriter, producer and storyteller. The new expanded version of the EP features all seven of the original EP tracks, plus fan favorite, “Break My Heart Again” and a brand new version of “Let’s Fall In Love For The Night” (1964) [Listen HERE].   To date, FINNEAS’ Blood Harmony EP has racked up an impressive 380 MILLION GLOBAL STREAMS adding to his total 500 MILLION CAREER STREAMS.  

In other news, FINNEAS was nominated for an MTV VMA Award for ‘Best Alternative Video’ in the ceremony which aired this past weekend.  

Earlier this year, FINNEAS performed “Let’s Fall In Love For The Night” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (watch the performance HERE, and catch his interview with Fallon HERE), the song peaked in the Top 15 at Alternative Radio and scanned GOLD in Canada and the U.S. The song’s video [watch HERE] was directed by Sam Bennett, and shot in FINNEAS’ hometown of Los Angeles entirely in one-take.  

In January, FINNEAS received an impressive 6 GRAMMY Awards® including the prestigious Producer of the Year, Non-Classical and Best Engineered Album, Non Classical as well as Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year with his sister Billie Eilish for her groundbreaking No. 1 debut album WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? and hit single ‘bad guy.’  

Further to his growing list of accolades, FINNEAS co-produced (with Stephen Lipson) and co-wrote the official theme song and title track for the upcoming James Bond film, No Time To Die, alongside his sister Billie Eilish. The track features orchestral arrangements by Hans Zimmer and Matt Dunkley, and guitar from Johnny Marr. The song made its live debut alongside Zimmer and Marr on stage at this year’s BRIT Awards in London. Watch HERE. FINNEAS also joined his sister for the 92nd Oscars, where they performed a stunning rendition of The Beatles’ Yesterday during the show’s In Memoriam segment.  

​​​​​​​

FINNEAS’ trademark production can also be heard on recent songs Selena Gomez, JP Saxe and Julia Michaels, Camila Cabello, Tove Lo, Trevor Daniel, Ben Platt, Bruno Major, Celeste, as well as Billie’s new single, “my future,” which he co-wrote with his sister.

''FALLING FOR YOU'' 

Christee Palace Interview, Click HERE

Christee Palace had a musical upbringing with influence from her family of musicians and was especially inspired by her father, multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer, and teacher Pete Palazzolo. Christee began making a name for herself with her debut EP Alive Today. Her songs “Out of Time” and “Light It Up” both charted on Canada’s Most Active Indie Charts.  

Christee has shared stages with incredible artists including Sean Kingston and Walk Off The Earth. She was also announced as the winner of the 2019 Jim Beam International Talent Search Award, and has performed at The Indie Awards in 2019, where she opened for La Force, The Elwins, and Born Ruffians.  

''Canadian Pop Artist Singer/Songwriter ''Christee Palace'' unveiled her first single of the year, showcasing her ability to bring to life a very personal, painful experience with her haunting vocals that just sticks to you in the most beautiful way, showing the kind of depth that this artist really has.'' ''I am very impressed and can see a big career for this gifted singer/songwriter, '' says Kim Cyr -NOW and THEN Magazine

''Danger''

Following the release of her debut EP “Harden My Heart” in 2019, “Danger” sees Christee Palace additionally touch on a situation where you just know it [a relationship] is going to end, and it is not going to end well for both parties involved. Sometime we get into a relationship so fast with the emotional need that can't be explained or denied but in your bones you know something just doesn't feel right.  Your instinct is there but the power and draw of it all takes over.  It feels out of control when your blinded by that kind of emotion in a relationship, and your feelings towards the person, but that voice inside of you was telling you all along to be careful.  It's this kind of storytelling that is rare to find because when a song is written well,  you can feel every word in that story that is only too familiar to many of us in this world and Christee isn't afraid to talk about it and go to that place through her lyrics. She is a brilliant songwriter and a voice that is killer. 

''Carole King was a pioneer that lead the way for so many artists to open up topics no one else would write about and sing about it,'' says Cyr.''  ''There are some incredible singer/'songwriters coming out in Canada that are really making a mark in music and I believe Christee can be one of those singer-songwriters that we will talk about for years to come.''  ''She has the confidence, the self-awareness that it takes to stay focused and  to keep writing about topics that are current and relevant but from her soul as a natural storyteller.''
