Campbell Woods and Apryll Aileen at Grimross Aug 3

Campbell Woods and Apryll Aileen will perform at Grimross Brewing Co. on August 3 at 7:30pm. The cost is $10 at the door. Campbell Woods pays attention. He’s been doing it for years in the bars of the Ottawa Valley, festivals and halls across Eastern Ontario, the whole map of Halifax music venues: The Carleton, The Company House, Gus’ Pub etc…plus sitting in and jamming with and opening for friends from across Canada. He sings and plays guitar, most of the time he can cover bass and keys, too. Along the way, Campbell paid attention to mentors: Brian Kobayakawa, Lynn Miles, Marcus Mosely, Drew Gonsalves. He paid close attention to the legends: Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons, Linda Ronstadt. His record, Oxford Street, testifies to a sound that is contemporary while evoking the weathered qualities of his many homes (the Fundy Shore, Lanark County, downtown Halifax, Ottawa, Victoria). His songs are all about attention paid and stories revealed. They are his stories and his songs, but an evening with Campbell Woods is an invitation to be reminded of your stories, our stories, and how they all echo around the room when truth is told. New Brunswick singer/songwriter, Apryll Aileen, combines smooth, sultry vocals with her classically trained piano background captivating her audience with beautiful melody, soulful passion and enchanting and engaging lyrics. Compared to the likes of Regina Spektor, Tori Amos and Norah Jones, Aileen dabbles between soulful pop, jazz & blues, while sharing stories about her free spirited serendipitous road trips. Aileen’s debut release, Savannah Soul, is set for release in North America on November 25, 2016 with a concurrent release in the United Kingdom through UK Distributor Horus Music after a successful showcase in Cannes, France at MIDEM earlier in 2016. The album was produced by Kenny Munshaw (Justin Bieber, the Tenors) between Savannah, Georgia & Toronto, Ontario. Her debut single, “Hey Sugar”, launched in advance of the record has received national airplay in Canada. In a few short years of working as a professional artist, Aileen has performed at venues such as the award winning Carleton Music Bar & Grill (Halifax, NS), The Bitter End (New York), Bar Lubitsch (West Hollywood) & The Neutral Ground (New Orleans) as well as numerous industry showcases.
