FEATURE ARTIST
This week we featured F&M! Songwriters Rebecca and Ryan Anderson – Rebecca classically trained; Ryan a veteran of Edmonton’s indie scene – belong to this strain of music-making. The long-married couple is the heart of F&M, an Edmonton-based band that began life, as many bands do, as an entirely different project (in this case, one named after a local funeral parlour). It slowly dawned on Rebecca and Ryan that they were calving like an iceberg from the original band, bobbing in a sea of Their Own Thingness, and F&M was born in 2006, made up of just his guitar, her piano and accordion, and both of their distinctive voices. They have had a number of releases with Shameless records including Let Every Light Shine released in 2007 and Every Light Must Fade in 2008. Their new album Sincerely, F&M releases this November and kicks off with a cross Canada tour starting in BC.
Their Edmonton release date is a multi arts evening with music, two short films, live art and wine pairings! It's at the Haven Social Club on November 12th. There are E-TICKETS available so don't miss out!
*We featured their new songs Lovely, Lovely.
