Leaf Rapids - Lucky Stars

Leaf Rapids is a new band from Keri Latimer. Best known for her four albums with Juno award-winning group Nathan, she's also released a soloalbum, and has recorded for television, installation and short films, most notably for her soundtrack contributions for Courtney Hunt's Oscar-nominated, 'Frozen River' in 2008 and Theremin parts for Guy Maddin's short film 'Only Dream Things' in 2012. She has collaborated with her husband Devin Latimer, who also plays bass with Nathan, to explore new musical ideas that incorporate the feeling ofopen space that has fascinated her since moving to the prairie town of Winnipeg, Manitoba. To facilitate this, Latimer reached out to Steve Dawson,the legendary Juno Award-winning Canadian roots musician and producer who had recently relocated to Nashville.'Lucky Stars' is one of those rare albums that can only come to light when a small group of seasoned players get together to work intuitively andcreate music from the heart. Listening to Keri on guitar and Theremin and Devin on bass while Steve Dawson works his magic on most everythingelse except for drums � ably played throughout by Gary Craig (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Bruce Cockburn) - is like having a fireside seat at a tinyhouse concert. Intimate and assured, 'Lucky Stars' will certainly be one of 2015's musical highlights.
