Canadian soul/blues/roots singer/songwriter André Bisson isn’t easy to label. There’s a pulse to every song. The music he makes is as expansive as the experiences of life. Bisson wrote and produced all the material on Latchford, his 10th studio album. Clearly, he has stories to tell, feelings to convey (and inspire), and he does it all with consummate skill and flair.

The players: Andre Bisson (lead vocals, electric and acoustic guitar, tambourine and harmonica), Jesse O’Brien (piano, organ), Mike Rowell (bass guitar), Keagan Early (drums), Pat Carey (tenor and baritone saxophone), Shawn Moody (trumpet), Loretta Hale (trumpet/cello), Rob Somerville (trombone), Paul Barna (violin, viola), Dan Rodrigues (piano), and backing vocalists Quisha Wint, Selena Evangeline.

If you’re looking for some rollicking tunes featuring a dynamite blend of horns and percussion, Latchford is a destination you must visit. It’s a consistently entertaining, lyrically enlightening experience.
