GOOD LOVELIES
Canadian Folk-Pop Trio
Shape-shift Down Under
.

Critically acclaimed Canadian folk-pop trio, Good Lovelies bring their powerful harmonies to Antipodean shores this March and April to celebrate the release of their 8th independent studio album, Shapeshifters, out now.
Joined by The Waif’s David Ross Macdonald on drums and celebrated Canadian MJ Dandeneau (Xavier Rudd, Pete Murray) on upright bass, Good Lovelies have 12 special appearances coming up at Australia’s premier National Folk Festival in Canberra, Blue Mountains Music Festival, Yackandandah Folk Festival, as well as sideshows throughout NSW and Victoria.

Renowned for creating a sound greater than the sum of their parts (they were each previously recognised solo artists), the five-time Canadian Folk Music and JUNO Award winners are receiving their greatest praise to date for the new record, which sees the three women produce their most accessible, pop-influenced work yet.
“We’ve been a band for eleven years since our mid-20s, so we’ve lived a lot of life! Two of us are mothers to young children and one member lost her mum a few years ago, all experiences we explore and work through on Shapeshifters,” said Caroline Brooks, vocalist and lead guitarist.
“This album is an exciting new beginning for us – something different for the fans who’ve been with us from the beginning, and something that’s helping us reach new audiences too.”
Taking out #1 at the CBC Radio 2 SOCAN Awards earlier this year, lead single I See Gold is already proving a fan favourite, described by Top 100 Canadian Singles as “one of the finest blends the country has known.”

With almost 1,000 shows under their belts worldwide, Good Lovelies wow crowds with their soaring harmonies and gut-busting sense of humour, the years of juggling touring, parenting and a life-time of friendship providing ample tales to tell.
Good Lovelies’ Australian Shapeshifters Tour kicks off 16 March at the Blue Mountains Music Festival and continues throughout NSW, ACT and VIC until 11April.
Shapeshifters is available on all digital outlets now.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
