Edgar Breau

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Edgar Breau is a new, if not exactly fresh, recording artist.

His debut solo CD, "Canadian Primitive", released in the fall of ’04, is on the Songhammer Music Group (www.songhammer.com) label, and is distributed in Canada through Sonic Unyon (www.sonicunyon.com)

It was recorded at Grant Avenue Studios in Hamilton, where such famous people as Gordon Lightfoot, Daniel Lanois, and Brian Eno have "laid down tracks", as they say in the biz.

If you ever dug John Fahey (the original "American Primitive"), Nick Drake (Volkswagen commercials), and W.B. Yeats (cf. “Rockin’ Chair” , an adaptation of "Why Should Not Old Men Be Mad") there’s a goshdarn good chance you’ll dig Edgar Breau..

Long ago, Breau was in a band called Simply Saucer, but he’s alright now. Really! That group’s sole LP, Cyborgs Revisited, was re-issued in 2003 by Sonic Unyon Records. It did okay, and people said nice things about it, things like "the greatest Canadian album ever" (Alternative Press), "8.5" (Pitchforkmedia) and "What more could you ask for? A cherry enema?" (Byron Coley – Spin Magazine). You can look at the Sonic Unyon web-site for more info on the Saucer, if you like.

Kevin Christoff , the legendary bassist for the Saucer, accompanies Breau, as does backing vocalist, Compton Roberts. They will even do a fewold Saucer songs, if you ask them politely. Should you make the right offer with enough advance notice, a full electric backing band is available. Please bear in mind, though: this is an acoustic-guitar based act. Edgar is always available after 5 p.m. for interviews and photo shoots.
