About
2015 Juno Award winner Catherine MacLellan brings her traditional Roots style with Chris Gauthier to the WECC.
“I was born to do this, and my father [the late Gene MacLellan] taught me the ways of a songwriter. I first used songwriting as a way to find out who I was. Now with every song I hope to find truth in inspiration and light in the dark.”
After releasing her debut album in 2004, Catherine MacLellan earned immediate critical acclaim. Since then she has toured internationally and her music has been a perennial fixture at the top of Canada’s Roots Music Charts.
Her latest release, The Raven’s Sun, takes the listener further along Catherine’s journey in song, delving deeper into the territories of life, death and transformation. Produced by her long-time musical partner, Chris Gauthier, The Raven’s Sun shines light on their musical chemistry and catches them both at their best. This album is another reminder that Catherine’s songwriting is unparalleled among performers of her generation.
