Bahamas (or Afie Jurvanen) is a bit of a workhorse in Canadian Music. He has played with everyone, both behind the scenes on albums and on tours and everywhere else musicians find home. Well, Bahamas is bringing himself to the forefront and in good fashion as well. The new album “Pink Strat” is a collection of honest (but fun) singer-songwriter tracks with a bit of the rolling plains of Canadian prairie indie country folk. He is a guy who just seems like the real deal, he clearly has talent and sings songs within himself and with all of himself. After listening to “Pink Strat” a few times, he seems like the guy you wanna know at a party and would casually gain the focus of the crowd and end up leaving at the end of the night with the crowd as both his fans and friends. That sure seems like a lot coming from a guy who hasn’t met him… Well maybe I might have to rush the stage when he swings through Calgary with Amy Millan on October 20th during his album tour that basically starts tonight at the Hillside Festival in Guelph Ontario. Catch him if you can!
Take a listen to “Already Yours” from the new album, which incidentally was the iTunes song of the week (iTunes Canada I believe) – so good on ‘em.

Let me tell you a little bit about my year, needless to say it’s been one of a lot of reflection and a relentless tug of wars between my mind and heart. I think my heart is losing the battle, but do not fear the mind is still in full operational mode.
