Emotional, heartfelt and eclectic: Norine Braun in 3 words. A Vancouver based independent singer-songwriter recording artist Braun is an award winning artist (Western Canadian Music Award Nominee, Banff Centre Musician in Residence, Los Angeles Independent Music Awards. Winner SIBL International Songwriting Competition).
Braun states, “Originally I had planned on devoting a song to each type of tree but as I began to read and research I wanted to instead draw upon the global properties of trees in general as well as certain trees. The listener will still embark on a journey through the forest but with more thought as to the interconnectedness of all things.” It is clear the album had clear intentions. “I was both inspired and overwhelmed by the wealth of information and the number of people from so many disciplines from around the world working hard to bring awareness to save the trees, planet and ourselves. This was a benefit as there was much to draw upon for writing.”
Compared to artists like Norah Jones, Joni Mitchell, and kd Lang, Norine Braun’s soundscape that they have created will transport you to a world outside of your own. This call to action on climate change mixed with the beauty of music is something you do not want to miss.
