Sat, 20 Jan 2024 08:54:05 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.1 Montreal’s Hidden Folk Gem Daniel Isaiah Shares Elegiac Cut “Brock Avenue” https://rockeramagazine.com/montreals-hidden-folk-gem-daniel-isaiah-shares-elegiac-cut-brock-avenue/ Sat, 20 Jan 2024 08:54:05 +0000 https://www.rockeramagazine.com/?p=37916 Montreal’s Daniel Isaiah is an artist that deserves your attention. A multi-talented musician, Isaiah has been captivating audiences with his performances on guitar and piano, all while leaving an indelible mark with his unique voice. His meticulously crafted songs have been called “stunning” by American Songwriter, reached #1 on Canadian campus stations, been selected as The Globe and Mail’s track of the week, and featured in rotation on CBC Radio 3.

Isaiah’s true gift, however, lies in his songwriting abilities, which have reached new heights on his new album, To Live a Wild Life. The songs create a compelling conversation, grappling with chaos and death, but ultimately affirming life in all its unpredictable twists and turns.

On “Brock Avenue,” Isaiah explains this track he had been humming for years. After two decades away from his childhood neighborhood, on a recent visit he saw a familiar face in an old neighbor who hugged him in condolence of his mother’s passing. That moment inspired the process and weight of the single. “The song seems to embrace all of my childhood. All of my love and loss,” he says.

Montreal singer-songwriter Daniel Isaiah has always been bound to music. He grew up surrounded by music, traveling the world and busking with his guitar, and played with his indie rock band Shoot The Moon before pursuing his solo career. Since then, he has released three critically acclaimed albums and toured with the likes of Sloan, Van Dyke Parks, Mother Mother, Basia Bulat, and more.

For his upcoming album, he challenged himself by learning to play piano from scratch and writing the entirety of the album on that primary instrument. The first single, “I’ve Got A Lot Riding On You,” doesn’t mean that someone needs to rely or depend on another. It’s just recognizing that two people can be in this thing called life together, and that we are strengthened and sustained by each other.
