LYNN HARRISON Lynn Harrison joins Douglas in conversation about her newest album, Treasure and performs three songs acoustically during our talk, letting the magic of these songs speak for themselves. “A gifted artist known for thoughtful, heartfelt songs of uncommon beauty, power, and insight; Toronto singer-songwriter LYNN HARRISON is an inspiring presence on Canadian stages. Her new seventh solo album TREASURE (produced by Douglas September) features musicians David Woodhead, Bob Cohen, and Ambrose Pottie. Lynn Harrison is a concise storyteller, prolific songwriter, and an expert turner of memorable phrases. Her previous, highly acclaimed album Something More was ranked among the Top 20 albums of 2020 by Jan Hall of Folk Roots Radio, among others. Also, as an ordained Unitarian Universalist (UU) minister currently serving at First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto, it’s clear that in all paths of her work, Harrison presents an inspirational message of love, hope and justice. Treasure is an album about staying sane in a mad world; about facing change with love and optimism; a 12-song prayer cycle that's both personal and universal – from a songwriter's songwriter, whose deft lyricism, melodic sensibilities, and captivating voice are second to none. www.lynoleum.com https://www.youtube.com/@lharrison77 https://www.facebook.com/lynn.harrison Lynn plays three selections from Treasure: "Let's Talk to Each Other Like Trees" is a thoughtful, poignant meditation on communicating at the soul level, with other people, and with the earth. To the hypnotic, percolating sound of Harrison's fingerpicked rhythm guitar, "Punctuation" ingeniously parallels an author's periods, question marks, and run-on sentences with those of our lives. "Good Songs" is a tender-hearted acoustic solo piece featuring Harrison's intimate vocals and sparkling guitar, affirming the value of songs to inspire love and heal the world.
