LEARN YOU BY HEART - AVAILABLE NOW

Picture


Philosophical, intimate, physical, poetic. 
​Christie Simmons’ album, Learn You by Heart, sings out in the tradition of singer-songwriters who use the dance between words and melody to explore the cracks in life - the cracks between words, between breaths, heartbeats, lovers, parents and children, past and present, the how and the why.  In images as fresh as they are familiar, melodies that are compelling and thoughtful, these are songs and a voice that sing us into the heart of this album, keep us there listening, watching.  As the title song says, “Savour every second, from the very start/ Take in every detail, learn you by heart.”  

Author Roberta Reece

Learn You by Heart is the culmination
of a few years of songwriting and a lot of years living. On June 1, 2019, we celebrated its completion with a performance and festive gathering at the Stampede's newly-opened heritage re-creation venue, Doherty Hall. Backed by multi-instrumentalist Steve Goodchild, plus Rob McConnell on bass, and Helen Goodchild on keyboards and fiddle (along with guest cellist Shirley Wright), we offered up an evening of songs from the new album and a few older and a few freshly-minted songs too!
