Steve Calafati - Mediterra
Evocative, melodic and passionate music influenced by the sounds and culture of Spain.
The Guitar is an instrument born amid the blue vistas and sun washed stretches of sand of the Mediterranean, very far from an artist's studio in a seaside town in New Jersey. The guitar, which has roots in the soil of Andalucia, Spain is a flower whose petals have spread across the entire world for centuries. In this time it has succeeded as a most flexible and expressive instrument so well that is in danger of being too good. It seems as if there is nothing quite as ubiquitous nor conventional as the guitar.

Steve Dawson
We Belong to the Gold Coast
Juno Award-winning guitarist, Steve Dawson recorded this album with the idea to bring his songs together with the sounds of traditional blues and Hawaiian styles. With an emphasis on slide guitar, this critcally-acclaimed album is his best work to date.
Black Hen Music proudly presents the new album from multi Juno Award-winner Steve Dawson, “We Belong to the Gold Coast”.
Steve has evolved into a musical chameleon, whether appearing with his group Zubot and Dawson, the avant-folk quartet The Great Uncles of the Revolution, blues legend Jim Byrnes, performing his own solo shows, or producing acclaimed albums in the studio. On stages ranging from Dobrofest in Slovakia to the renowned Monterey Jazz Festival and almost every major music festival in Canada, Steve is constantly striving for unique sounds and approaches to acoustic music. His instrumental abilities have landed him on stages with artists as diverse as Bob Brozman, Gil Scott-Heron, John Lee Hooker, Oregon, David Lindley, Long John Baldry, Oh Susannah, and Francois Houle, to name just a few. When the renowned guitarist/songwriter Kelly Joe Phelps put down the slide guitar to focus on songwriting a few years ago, he called on Steve to play the slide parts for the album “Slingshot Professionals”.

Jenny Whiteley
Hopetown
2-Time Juno Award winner, roots, country, bluegrass influences.
An accomplished and gifted singer and songwriter whose lyrics capture the soul and essence of real life experiences, Jenny Whiteley makes you believe she has decades of anecdotes to draw from.
Jenny’s fans have been following her career for many years. From her days as the singer/bass player with the Toronto upstart bluegrass band Heartbreak Hill (who garnered a Juno nomination for their only recording “Heartbreak Hill”, in 1998) to the release of “Jenny Whiteley” which won her the Best Roots/Traditional '" Solo Juno in 2000, and the touring that followed that release through the States and Canada. Jenny is well known as a ballad writer, John Tyrone, Gloria and Lonnie being some of her most recognized characters. She is also known for stepping outside the confines of the traditional content of a bluegrass song, covering topics from stalkers to hermit-lady farmers and face-down-on-the-floor drunks on her first album.
