Prince Edward Island, MacLellan brought together a band of longtime friends and musical collaborators with producer David Baxter to craft the 14-track album that Canada’s Exclaim! Magazine has touted as being “a near-hour-long album devoid of filler…a testimony to MacLellan’s ascent to greatness.” MacLellan’s star has long been rising in North America. Her previous albums have collectively hit #1 on the iTunes Canada Roots charts, and been acclaimed by her peers. Catherine was raised in Summerside, PEI. She started playing in her first band called the New Drifts in 2000. After that ended, Catherine started playing in the old-time country band Saddle River. Now Catherine is busy playing solo and raising a little girl named Isabel. She has released three albums, all of which have been released on True North Records. Chris Gauthier is a veteran to the stage. The Canadian-born musician (whose parents are both
musicians) has a very successful career of his own with bands, as a solo artist, as well as accompanying Ms MacLellan.
