As I develop my craft, storytelling increasingly becomes an opportunity for me to empathize with and express love for struggling people.” Steph Cameron The result is a collection of songs that showcase Steph’s storytelling songwriting style, one that works in perfect tandem with the sparse production style chosen (Producer: Joe Dunphy). The themes they explore of love, loss and finding joy when times are rough are universal. What truly rings clear is the authenticity of the human experience that the characters she sings about have been through. Steph Cameron arrived on the scene like a bracing gust of fresh musical air with her 2014 debut record Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady receiving unanimously enthusiastic reviews. “This is a monumental, brilliant album… heralds the crowning of a bright new talent,” declared Pop Matters in calling it the #1 Canadian album of 2014. No Depression termed it “a stunning debut,” while Exclaim! noted that “Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady delights from start to finish.Steph Cameron is the real deal.” The record also made the coveted Longlist for the prestigious Polaris Prize in 2015. Cameron’s evocative voice and perceptive lyrics continue to captivate, as does her evolving yet still fluent acoustic guitar work. “I continue to work at the tradition of folk, but old country sounds, particularly guitar, are prominent in this record.” she analyses. “I feel like my musical influences, artists like John Prine, have really come through here, both in the story-telling and the way my guitar is played.” Album Details: Artist: Steph Cameron Album: Daybreak Oer Jackson Street (April 14 via Pheromone Recordings) 100% CanCon All songs written and composed by Steph Cameron Daybreak Over Jackson Street track list* 01 Daybreak Over Jackson Street 02 Young And Living Free 03 That’s What Love Is 04 On My Mind 05 Richard 06 Winterwood 07 Little Blue Bird 08 You Oughta Know By Now 09 California 10 Sing For Me 11 Peace Is Hard To Find *Songwriter: Steph Cameron *Producer: Joe Dunphy Website: http://stephcameron.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephcameronmusic/ Follow on twitter: @scameronmusic
