Jenn Grant’s music is deeply empathetic and generous of heart, so of course one day she would invite the whole country to make it with her.
Champagne Problems, her eighth album and first in the producer’s chair alongside partner Daniel Ledwell, gathers 13 musicians from coast to territory to coast in a series of collaborative Canadian magic tricks spun into classic country, lost disco hits, and ruminative folk fables.
While at home in Lake Echo, Nova Scotia during the pandemic, Grant was struck by the idea that her musician friends were also sheltering in place. Determined to recognize this as a rare period of boundless creativity, she began reaching out. “There was this stillness, so I could access all these people,” she says. “It felt like a time capsule of this unique period of time where people were more still than usual—not on the road—and available.”
Champagne Problems is a unique Canadian musical experience that could have only come out of extenuating circumstances, willing partners, and profound vulnerability. It could have only come out of Jenn Grant.

Slow Leaves is the self-contained solo project of Grant Davidson. He curates almost every aspect of the music and its presentation, including being multi-instrumentalist, producer, cover art designer , photographer, and video director. He views the totality of these aspects as essential parts of a larger project of self-understanding. His folk and psych-rock stylings recall older songwriters like Mickey Newbury and Nick Drake as well as more modern artists like Andy Shaufand Jolie Holland. His voice has been compared to Roy Orbison and Bryan Ferry. His newest album, Meantime, is out on Birthday Cake Records.

Singer-songwriter Catherine Kennedy will be sure to capture and take you on a storytelling journey with her songs that “make you feel part of something bigger.” Her works directly stem from the surrounding environment, where she uses everyday experiences that normally go unnoticed. Her music appears as images in which fiction and reality meet, meaning shifts and the past and present fuse. She finds influence in blues/soul/rnb.
