ERIC CLAPTON AND STEVE WINWOOD

Live At Madison Square Garden

Dist: Warner Music Canada

History rocked and rock made history during a sold-out three-gig stand at Madison Square Garden in late February 2008 when icons Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood performed together for the first time since their all-too-brief days in the legendary Blind Faith in 1969.

Live From Madison Square Garden is a two-CD or two-DVD release and whether Clapton blazes away on guitar, or Winwood scorches the keys, or the two trade guitar licks, the 20-song set is a classic. Among the highlights are the pair performing the entire A-side of 1969′s Blind Faith, the only album by the supergroup (“Can’t Find My Way Home“, “Well Alright“, “Presence Of The Lord“).

Dist: Sony Music Canada

When asked about the title of his debut album Give It All Away, the singer-pianist from Coaldale, Alberta Theo Tams admits “In a way I feel that’s what I’ve done with this record.” The 2008 Canadian Idol Winner is not following the standard Idol formula in releasing his debut album. With a musical background, previous writing experience and a strong desire to put out an album he was truly proud of, Theo was given the gift of time to be more involved in the process to create a debut that truly reflects him as an artist rather than rushing the process. “I wanted to find and write songs that I could be confident with and encapsulated all I wanted to say on my first record, not only lyrically, but stylistically as well”.

MAT KEARNEY

City Of Black & White

Dist: Sony Music Canada

“There’s definitely the theme of this traveling/sojourner/ vagabond kind of guy landing in the midst of people that he loves, and who love him-guy/girl, musician, old people, all of that. It feels as if the traveling sojourner of Nothing Left to Lose has found a home, a group of companions, and a love… It speaks of vulnerability more than distance-a place where someone can be pinned down to perseverance and heartbreak,” says Matt Kearney about his new album City of Black & White.

The follow up to 2006′s highly successful album Nothing Left To Lose is an openhearted album of self-discovery from the Nashville based artist and features the first single “Closer To Love“.
