biographical info
Tim Chaisson and Morning
Fold Bio
Every so often the East Coast produces a leader to represent talent to
the rest of the world; whether it was Plaskett, MacMaster or Sampson they all
have one common thread – their work is weathered, timeless and pure. Not a
trend but something that’s always been here. Cue in Tim Chaisson, a PEI native
who can synergize folk traditional with pop expression so seamlessly that
you’re in his song as soon as the first note is released with no turning back.
For Chaisson, his talent started generations ago. He’s a product of
kitchen parties, the inescapable osmosis of folk and traditional music.
Everything about this performer is organic, cultivated by both past and present
influence. The multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter has a stronghold in
the elite East Coast music community, having been working steady as a musician
since he was 13 years old, and recording three critically-acclaimed studio
albums. Now in his early twenties, it’s apparent that with maturity and
experience, his music is evolving.
This evolution has captured the attention of Canadian icon Gordie
Johnson (Big Sugar, The Trews, Joel Plaskett), who produced the
highly-anticipated new record for Tim Chaisson & Morning Fold. Johnson,
along with the help of Joel Plaskett helped massage the new works of the
record, featuring several co-writes with both. To have these masters of music
respect is a dream to Chaisson and his crew – and inevitably to the listeners
of this upcoming album. With the brilliant back up of Tian Wigmore (electric guitar,
vocals), Nat Lamoureux (drums, vocals) and Brien McCarthy (bass), these Island
boys will have you listening to the record again and again.
