Album Notes

With her second release slated for the spring of 2008, a personal invite to play at Fred Eaglesmith’s Southern Ontario Picnic, and record labels starting to call, Lara Yule Singh’s star is beginning to sparkle.

Her debut CD, Something In the Still was released in May 2006. It spent ten weeks in the top 30 on the CKUA Radio charts (www.ckua.com), peaking at #3, just under Paul Simon and T-Bone Burnett. Something In the Still has frequented top 20 charts on university and community radio stations across Canada and is now being played internationally.

Inspired by an invitation from Fred J. Eaglesmith to play at his Southern Ontario Picnic, Lara will be touring across Canada with singer/songwriter, Alexia Melnychuk in August of 2007. She will also grace stages at The Works in Edmonton, South Country Fair, Pembina River Nights, Night of Artists, and more.

In between shooting the video for “Amazing Grace Revisited” and pre-production for a second album, Lara was a featured artist on Shaw TV (local), City TV (Alberta-wide), and Help TV (national). She’s opened for Gaye Delorme and shared stages with many other talented musicians across Western Canada. She’s played numerous festivals, including Homefest, North Country Solstice Festival, and Sasquatch Festival.

“Lara Yule Singh could be the answer to all our problems. Her folk-pop debut, Something In the Still will instantly put a smile on your face and lower your blood pressure…a delightfully quirky recording on par with efforts by Calgary’s Chad VanGaalen and freak-folk star Devendra Banhart.”
