TIM CHAISSON & MORNING FOLD - PART II
PRESENTED BY NOEL COPEMAN
BALCONYTV TORONTO IS BROUGHT TO YOU IN ASSOCIATION WITH INDIE WEEK AND THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE

The first half of the bio can be found at http://www.timchaisson.com or in the description section of Tim Chaisson - Part 1 on BalconyTV!
Chaisson needn't be so humble. With Broken Hearted Beat, Petty and Springsteen would be proud to keep such company. A tour-de-force in amalgamating diverse backgrounds and genres, the album unites the finite intricacies of folk, pop, country and even the Celtic inspiration that initially spurred Chaisson on in his youth; it is a wonderfully diverse beguilingly chameleon-esque experience.
While much of the album is spawned from his own seeds of creativity as primary songwriter, Chaisson notes that renowned Canadian-bred musicians Joel Plaskett (Thrush Hermit, Joel Plaskett Emergency) and Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar) were crucial in realizing Broken Hearted Beat's wide scope and boldness.
Co-penning material as a team and utilizing Johnson's invaluable experience as a musician and producer for Broken Hearted Beat, Chaisson, Johnson and crew captured the live essence of the band at Plaskett's studio before heading down to Willie Nelson's Austin-based Pedernales Studios in order apply finishing touches.
"Gordie and I started working together a few years ago and he introduced me to Joel," Chaisson reflects. "We wrote about nine songs together almost immediately. I was a huge fan of both of them before any of this, so getting to work with them was just amazing. Joel's studio caught the grittiness while Pedernales was amazing at the finishing touches. With the piano, fiddle elements, different tones, shaping and breakdowns, I think this album is pretty broad."
Ensuring Broken Hearted Beat is all-encompassing, Chaisson proudly notes that Plaskett and Johnson also impelled him to push harder at further refining his craft, resulting in a collection of songs that are infinitely stunning both musically and lyrically.
"On this record, those guys pushed me hard, making me give 125% to my lyrics where I think I used to just settle," he laughs. "I wrote a lot about relationships. Not necessarily personally. I'm not a me-me-me songwriter. That gets old fast. I'd say I'm a storyteller, taking everyone's experiences and relating them from my perspective. They can be pretty personal but they're all about something that's affected me or I've observed. I love it when you can connect with people; when they feel like something you've written has truly hit home."
Moreover, Chaisson concludes that with the influence of his mentors, the abilities of Morning Fold and his penchant for entwining the plethora of influences a large family has bestowed up on him into a distinct sound, Broken Hearted Beat is easily his most cultivated, proficient effort to date. But, he alludes, there are still many more to come.
"My East Coast roots are elemental to making this album unique," he waxes philosophically. "I was lucky to have such a large family that introduced me to so many diverse forms of music. I think they all come out on this album. The same thing applies with the rest of the band. They have that influx of inspiration from their families and they're fantastic multi-instrumentalists. As for me, well, I've been doing this since I can remember...I'm gonna be in it for the long haul."

The Wolfgramm house was the loudest house in the street. From a young age sisters Kelly, Talei and Eliza were either playing piano, guitar, cello, tuba, or singing at the top of their lungs. Their mother noticed that all the girls wanted to sing but often refused to sing in unison because they wanted to 'sing their own part'. She cleverly taught them harmonies so they could sing simultaneously and not fight over the melody. It was also the fullest house in the street with an endless stream of young musicians and artists passing through. A rehearsal or jam would start up after school and finish when the neighbours couldn't take it anymore. So the Wolfgramm sisters took their music to the Melbourne pub scene.
Word quickly spread through the music community that the girls had soulful voices and a killer blend, the kind of blend that only the same DNA can nail. The sisters were soon working with some of the best musicians in Melbourne and gigging regularly in Fitzroy, the City and St Kilda.
It soon followed that Australia's most acclaimed singers also wanted to work with the girls, not only for their rich harmonies, but also for their musical diversity and strength in writing and arranging vocal parts. In recent years the girls have sung with Jet, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Leo Sayer, Little Birdy, Ross Wilson, Renee Geyer, Tex Perkins and Paul Kelly to name a few.
The girls continued with their high-energy soul band whilst developing an acoustic show featuring Kelly on piano. This simple line-up highlighted the girls' vocal talents and demanded they choose quality songs. Songs that could be stripped back to chords and melody and still hold their own. The girls caught the attention of acclaimed drummer Peter Luscombe who promptly took them on tour for the Countdown Arena Spectacular and had them regularly featuring on SBS music show RocKwiz.
The Wolfgramms were interested in making an album of songs by some of their favourite male artists. They wanted to give rock songs a soul treatment through their vocal arrangements and delivery. Having previously worked with Barry Palmer the girls knew that this kind of album would be right up his alley. Their inspiration for this fusion of styles sprung most notably from The Band's version of The Weight featuring the gospel vocals of the Staple Singers. The sisters also wanted to give the songs a female perspective and a county/rock-feel through the instrumentation. They had grown up listening to country rock albums by artists such as Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and the Pointer Sisters. The girls admired these singers' interpretation of classic well-written songs by artists as diverse as the Rolling Stones, the Everly Brothers and Willie Nelson.
Luscombe got on board along with Ash Naylor of Even (guitar), session musician extraordinaire Chris Bekker (bass), Jake Mason (keyboards) of Cookin' On Three Burners, the horn section from the Bamboos and numerous other celebrated Melbourne musicians, with Barry Palmer at the helm as producer.
The Wolfgramm sisters and their adopted family of musicians recorded the album in two weeks. The band and horn section played live, recording their tracks simultaneously as did the girls with many of their vocals. The outcome is a soulful country rock album that pays homage to the great women singers in the Country and Soul scenes of the 1970s.
Music Industry Darlings The Wolfgramm Sisters are now ready to take centre stage and present to a loyal fan base an album of covers and several originals on December 20th at The Northcote Social Club.
