Acclaimed songwriter Steph Cameron will return to Kelowna as part of a tour through Western Canada.

Ahead of her Oct. 12 performance at Fernandos, audiences are getting a new video for That害羞草研究所檚 What Love Is from her latest album Daybreak Over Jackson Street.

The song 害羞草研究所渄escribes some of the loneliness we can feel in spite of the deep connections we have with those we love,害羞草研究所� said Cameron. 害羞草研究所淚t describes the heart as an empty room that waits longingly for the one it loves to walk through its doors and give the room meaning.害羞草研究所�

Cameron arrived on the scene like a bracing gust of fresh musical air with her debut record Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady, receiving unanimously enthusiastic reviews. No Depression termed it 害羞草研究所渁 stunning debut,害羞草研究所� while Exclaim! noted that 害羞草研究所淪ad-Eyed Lonesome Lady delights from start to finish. Cameron is the real deal.害羞草研究所� The record also made the coveted longlist for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize in 2015.

Out now via Pheromone Recordings, Daybreak Over Jackson Street navigates subtle changes in stylistic terrain. If the debut felt as if it emerged fully-formed from the bohemian streets of Greenwich Village circa 1963, then the extra maturity of this album gives it more of an early 害羞草研究所�70s Laurel or Topanga Canyon atmosphere.

Like her debut, Daybreak Over Jackson Street was recorded at elite Toronto studio Revolution Recording with producer Joe Dunphy. It retains the sparse template of her first record 害羞草研究所� one voice, one guitar, both recorded in intimate fashion and to tape.

Many of these new songs feature a more mature Cameron looking back upon earlier turbulent times.

害羞草研究所淎s I get a bit older I害羞草研究所檓 able to recall my youth from a different perspective. Many of these songs draw their content from the life and relationships I had in my youth; to people and places, particularly East Vancouver.害羞草研究所�

She describes 害羞草研究所淒aybreak Over Jackson Street害羞草研究所� as a song 害羞草研究所渁bout living in an impoverished neighbourhood in an urban setting. That song acknowledges some of the elements of life in a slum.害羞草研究所� A similar locale, East Vancouver, permeates 害羞草研究所淩ichard,害羞草研究所� a haunting ode to a troubled comrade left behind 害羞草研究所� 害羞草研究所榓 hotel is a real sad place for living害羞草研究所�.

Having spent some time living in The Kootenays, the great outdoors appears in Cameron害羞草研究所檚 害羞草研究所淭hat害羞草研究所檚 What Love Is,害羞草研究所� a lovely and gentle tune featuring a circular guitar pattern and such atmospheric imagery as 害羞草研究所榣ate at night when the coyotes call, the dogs whimper and the leaves fall害羞草研究所�. Then there is the fast and breezy 害羞草研究所淟ittle Blue Bird,害羞草研究所� one 害羞草研究所榮itting in the snow, staring at the stars dreaming of the railroad cars害羞草研究所�.

Daybreak Over Jackson Street has also attracted the enthusiastic attention of U.K. folk music specialist label At The Helm which is releasing it in the UK on November 10. A UK and European tour will follow in 2018.
