Juno Award winning artist, Justin Rutledge returns with his new album, Passages. Justin’s band on Passages includes guitarist Rob Baker from the Tragically Hip, and the album was co-produced by Justin and Chris Stringer (Timbre Timbre, Elliot Brood, The Wooden Sky). The NOW Magazine Toronto Songwriter of the Year, CMFA Album of The Year winner and multi Polaris nominee recorded Passages in-between getting married to HGTV Canada star Sarah Keenleyside and his acclaimed performance in the Montreal run of the Tony Award winning musical, Once. Justin Rutledge has fans in Gordon Lightfoot and Man Booker Prize winner Michael Ondaatje (who co-wrote “Boats” on Passages) and has been hailed by The Line of Best Fit as “as strong as Neil Young in his prime” along with The Toronto Star proclaiming “Rutledge can spin a yarn just as well as Bruce Springsteen”. Similar artists include Jason Isabell, Ryan Adams, Wilco, Lord Huron. This is a priority release for Outside Music that will be supported by a full marketing campaign, with English Canadian press handled by Stephanie Hardman, Canvas Media for radio, Six Media for French Canada, Silver PR for the UK and Starkult for Germany. Touring in support of Passages will begin with a duo tour with Rob Baker throughout Ontario in March 2019, and will continue with extensive headline touring across Canada and in international markets. 1 Captive 2 Allisonville 3 Passages 4 Good Man 5 Not Enough 6 One Winter's Day 7 Weight of the World 8 Belleville Breakup 9 Chains 10 Boats Internal ID: JITRE Genre: Folk Handling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.** Format: CD Released: 5/31/19 Format Detail: CD
