Toronto songwriter Patrick Ballantyne voted best songwriter in last years NOW readers poll is releasing a single a month through his Hit A Month series.
The Big Sugar and Trews collaborator has teamed up with Northwood Records on the project, which has so far yielded seven songs, including Mirror Mirror and My Excellent Boy.
The latter was inspired by a friends Facebook post about his son and has a gentle psychedelic feel.
I was sitting with some songwriter friends talking about songwriting challenges and how we, as songwriters, have to self-challenge to raise the bar, explains Ballantyne. Next thing I know, Im on the phone with my manager asking her to reserve the domain name, and I was committed.
