NQ Arbuckle adds “All Apologies” to the band’s small but instructive library of covers, a collection that also includes songwriter Vic Chesnutt and Nova Scotian poet Alden Nowlan. NQ’s take is found on Love Songs for the Long Game, the forthcoming album out May 19, 2023.

Many artists have taken their turn with this song since its debut in 1984: it may have launched the career of the Barenaked Ladies; U2 may have referenced one of its lyrics in a pop chart topper, but hearing T. Thomason cover Bruce Cockburn’s “Lovers In a Dangerous Time” feels like the final kick.

Fresh off the euphoric two-night Massey Hall launch of the Remember Never Before North American tour, which picks up in Victoria, BC tonight, July Talk announce their first feature documentary, July Talk: Love Lives Here. The film, by first-time director Brittany Farhat, will premiere at Hot Docs this May.

Six Shooter is delighted to welcome T. Thomason to the label roster with new music planned for 2023. A singularly talented, multi-hyphenated performer on stage and screen, Halifax-based T. Thomason is rightly on the radar as an important artist to be heard, for his songs and his perspective. Honest, vulnerable yet firmly standing his ground, T. Thomason is ready to meet what’s ahead with uncommon composure and creative energy.

Today William Prince shares two more songs from Stand in the Joy, including “Goldie Hawn,” an ode to the beauty, talent and grace of great women, and one in particular, and “Easier and Harder,” an homage to John Prine.

We’re excited to announce our @sxsw showcase featuring N’famady Kouyaté, T. Thomason, Skye Wallace, Mauvey, Boy Golden, and William Prince.The showcase will run from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15, at the Swan Dive bar in Austin.

NQ Arbuckle announces Love Songs For The Long Game, a new album out May 19, 2023. To introduce the collection, the two-time JUNO Award nominees share a new song “No Hands Bicycle,” today. In more Spring news, NQ Arbuckle joins Whitehorse’s tour with shows across Ontario in May-June, 2023.

The Dead South announce that they’ll be returning to the US this summer with Corb Lund.

William Prince is not waiting. Not holding his breath, not keeping score, not wishing for what he doesn’t have or hoping for better days. From where he stands, those better days are here. The time to let happiness in, to welcome the good things it brings and to enjoy the good times it makes, is now. Not one day. Today.

July Talk marks the release of Remember Never Before with a lyric video for “When You Stop,” hand-drawn and animated by band co-leads Leah and Peter. “When You Stop,” a swirling cyclone of a song, is about courage. A chase scene, a jump cut, a monster in the room: “When You Stop” plunges straight into the pit of your stomach.

January 13, 2023 – Award-winning Canadian duo Whitehorse—Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet—just released their eighth LP, I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying, leaving no emotional, personal, fantastical, or political stone unturned. The new album finds the pair venturing deeper into classic country music touchstones than ever before; a move that is both a homecoming and an evolution of their sound.

Six Shooter Records is thrilled to announce we will be hosting a songwriter’s circle at AmericanaUK, titled “Keep The Wild Flowers Blooming.” The event will feature two Six Shooter artists — William Prince and Whitehorse — and the brilliant musicians Allison Russell and Elles Bailey will fill out the format.
