While Winnipeg guitar whiz Joey Landreth likes to melt faces in solo shows and CDs, he holds back, just a little when recording with his brother Dave.

 The Bros. Lethbridge make a long awaited return to Lethbridge when they play the Geomatic Attic, Monday, Oct. 24.

They just released their third CD  “Come Morning” as Bros. Landreth.

“ So far nobody hates it, so that’s a good thing,” Joey Landreth chuckled from Winnipeg, noting he has recorded eight CDs including EPs, solo CDs and the three Bros. Landreth CD.

“ This CD is a collection of songs that never found a place in other projects and newer songs,” he said, adding he worked on the CD with his brother during the pandemic and long-time producer Murray Pulver.

“Dave and I are really proud of it. We really explored every avenue we came across. We challenged ourselves to not put aside any idea. It was a very active collaboration,”  Landreth said.

“ We were writing from different perspectives. A lot of the lyrics go deeper and are multi-layered,” he said.

“ We‘ve tried recording some of the songs before. ‘ Back to Thee’ was from back in 2015. ‘Come Morning’ was the only one that wasn’t fully formed,” he said.

Squamish musician Desirée Dawson is living the dream, opening for Juno Award winning musician Serena Ryder.

Their tour stops by Southminster United Church, Oct. 1 for a Geomatic Attic show.

“It’s been so much fun. There has been a lot of learning. It’s been amazing,” said Dawson from a tour stop in Kamloops. The tour began Oct. 14  in Mission and ends with two shows in St. Albert, Oct . 7 and 8.

“I met Serena at the Juno Awards. We were both nominated for adult alternative album of the year, and  she won,” said Dawson, whose mother is French-Canadian settler ancestry from Ontario and her father is of African descent from South Carolina.

 “I’ve been listening to Serena since I was really young. So it’s been a beautiful thing to get to know her before and after the show and to see her perform every night. It’s been amazing,” Dawson enthused.

“We don’t get to play together on stage, but that would be a dream come true,” Dawson enthused, noting her 30 minute set only includes one track, “ Mountain Tops” from her new CD “Meet You at the Light.” 

 Dawson is touring with  guitarist/ vocalist Matt Storm, cajón/ percussionist / videographer Sally Zori and  partner and tour manager Jules Tatone.

“I’ve been touring as a duo, as a trio and solo. For Lethbridge, I think it will be a duo. I want to present people with a show that  helps them to be joyful and connected,” said Dawson, who just released a well received album, “Meet You at the Light,” which has a lot of laid back pop influences, but is also reminiscent of Allison Russell’ folk stylings.

It is a sparse sounding album with multi-layered harmony vocals, subtle piano and cello. 

September ends withs a smorgasbord of  different kinds of music.

 The week starts early on Monday with a special early week show from Orillia via Saskatchewan singer songwriter Zachary Lucky who’s tour in support of his latest CD “Songs for Hard Times ”stops by the Owl Acoustic Lounge on Monday.
