THE WEATHER STATION IN PARADISE
As PoB eases into a 2015 ripe with some long-brewing and inspiring projects, we can think of no finer way to inaugurate this New Year than to share the very exciting news that The Weather Station, the spellbinding musical project of Toronto songwriter Tamara Lindeman, has officially joined the PoB family. Stay tuned for more details about the Spring release of her third record, entitled Loyalty and recorded in France in collaboration with Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) and Robbie Lackritz (Feist). (The Weather Station will be working with our friends at Outside Music on the Canadian release.) In the meantime, you can read more about Tamara and her music here and watch a video of a recent live performance on the CBC below.
