Amelia Curran a Steady and Sure Talent

It wouldn’t take much for an artist to be envious of Amelia Curran’s work to date, though that hasn’t stopped her from moving forward. The St. John’s, NL artist has released seven albums in the past 14 years, a steady and stellar output for the musician.

She’s been recognized for her work, too. Six Shooter Records, home to some of the best roots acts Canada has to offer, picked her up. Since then, she’s even won a JUNO Award. It’s no surprise people have been responding to her music –– her minimalist folk sound and carefully worded lyrics should be immediately resonant with anyone who cares to listen.

Her newest record, They Promised Mercy, came out in 2014 and was a bit of a departure for Curran. According to Exclaim!, the record “dishes up a louder but still palatable rock sound that maintains her seasoned lyrical integrity.”

Amelia Curran is in the Exchange on Friday, March 28 with Ryan Boldt. Doors at 8 p.m. Show at 8:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $20 plus s/c and are available online at TicketBreak. $25 at the door. All ages and licensed.
