With all of the visual stimulation constantly bombarding us, it can be hard to get away… to shut our eyes and let the other senses take over for a while. But once we do, once we shut our eyes to the busy, visual world around us, it becomes easier to sit down, relax and take it easy. That’s what Saint John’s Andy Stevens -the White Rabbit himself- likes best.
White Rabbit’s debut solo CD, “The Glorious Blindfold”, is a much different offering than Stevens’ work with his other band, Born Under Satellites. Released in late 2007, it is a much softer sound, based mainly around acoustic guitar and vocals. You will find no drums here; it’s up to you to supply your own rhythm. Your toes will tap. Your fingers will follow. You’ll find yourself bopping along to songs that would sound at home on albums by Radiohead and Pearl Jam, both sources of inspiration for Stevens. You’ll even find hints of Pink Floyd mixed in amongst the catchy harmonies and softly-spoken vocals. “The Glorious Blindfold” is made up of many layers.
Like the fabric of a real blindfold, the songs on this album are woven together into a tight mesh that will allow the listener to leave the “real world” behind for a while and enter a land of dream-like audio textures that serve as candy for the ears. White Rabbit’s first release from “The Glorious Blindfold” has gotten a good deal of air-play on Saint John’s Outlaw Radio, 103.5 The Pirate. Enough said. Hear for yourself.
Recorded over the wintry months in Halifax at Echo Chamber Audio with renowned engineer Charles Austin, Gorgeous Morning portrays Davis through a paradigm of bravery and vulnerability. With an instinctual ear and the vernacular of a poet, she makes wordy music built on unique arrangements that fend off genre and highlight both musicianship and passion.

They do want play a show for you soon. So buy their record and help make that happen. They are a very good band. You will enjoy them. Jeremy, Andrew, Richard and Issac say thank you!
The Late Show
A young band with a very bright future if they want it. One listen to The Late Show will provide all the proof you need.
Dan Currie and What Happened Tomorrow are a roots rock, country and blues trio. When the band Double Ought Buckshot decided to call it quits, Dan Currie made a decision. He decided to start playing some music that was always near and dear to his heart. He began writing old school country tunes and rock tunes with elements of country and blues thrown in. He asked Craig MacPherson who had played bass with him in Double Ought Buckshot and Eyes for Telescopes to join him and invited former Eyes drummer Mike MacDougall to be the drummer. Mike’s love of this kind of hybrid music was too hard to resist and he signed on to what the band now call their “rocky tonk” sound.
"Crown of Stars" is their 1st release. The sound is unique and the lyrics come straight from the heart. The track "Bent n' Busted" feels and sounds like you are kicking a can up the street as you walk. The Sandbar Web Guy digs that kinda ...it.
