Artist: Tina Pumfrey Release: That Day Date: 2018 Home: Thamesville, Ontario, Canada (Chatham-Kent) Genre:Contemporary Christian Singer/ Songwriter
Notes:
Take a familiar, everyday situation. Spin a few lyrics and chords, sprinkle with a dash of rock, blues, country; maybe some folk or gospel. It was a bit more complicated than that, but essentially, that’s it! My music looks at everyday life through the lens of faith. Whatever life throws at me, faith holds me together, and music is the constant in the background.
Since 2011, I’ve been performing around southern Ontario, solo and with my band. In 2014, we recorded “Where God Is” at Northwood Studios, with producer/engineer Matt Connell at the controls. We have just finished our second album, “That Day”, a 5-song EP. It was a great experience, working at SLR Studios in Windsor, under the guidance of Marty Bak. The final product was mastered by Greg Mindorff of Suite Sound Labs in Vancouver. It will be released on June 16, 2018.
Outdoor gospel nights, church events, festival stages, house concerts,… We are ready to bring the music to you, wherever you need it!
Tracks: 01. That Day 02. Sweet As Can Be 03. Home 04. Slow 05. New Song
