ECMA E-News - SPINCOUNT FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: TIM CHAISSON & MORNING FOLD

SPINCOUNT FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: TIM CHAISSON & MORNING FOLD

Tim Chaisson is no stranger to the spotlight. With three solo albums under his belt, and now the release of Tim Chaisson and Morning Fold’s independent musical gem Broken Hearted Beat, Chaisson has more than 17 industry awards or nominations and currently has no less than five P.E.I. Music Awards nominations for Songwriter of the Year, Group of the Year, Recording of the Year, Pop Recording of the Year and Entertainer of the Year, and an East Coast Music Award nomination for Best Pop Recording.

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 (Grady, 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.

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 in- flux 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.”
