What if the key to understanding life's circular beauty was found in an apple orchard? Join us as we explore the artistic world of Graham Ereaux of Devarrow, an indie singer-songwriter hailing from Liverpool, Nova Scotia, whose music is deeply rooted in nature and folk traditions. Graham takes us on a journey from his bohemian upbringing to the European tours that tested his introverted spirit. Through a series of candid reflections, he reveals how his teenage angst and freedom forged the path for his creatively charged life. From his first song, "The Apple Tree," to planting a real orchard, Graham's story is a poignant reminder of how art and life intertwine in unexpected, meaningful ways.
Graham also unlocks the secrets behind his songwriting process and the evolution of his musical voice. We uncover how the pandemic has left its mark on his work, influencing the themes of his albums "A Long Distant Wave" and "Heart-Shaped Rock." Both projects capture contrasting essences of the human experience, from the solitude of 2020 to the joy of unbridled freedom. As Graham gears up for a Canadian tour, he shares his excitement about performing with a full band, promising to bring his latest songs to life on stage with newfound energy. Tune in to hear Graham's refreshing perspective on music, life, and everything in between.
Graham Ereaux, who makes music under the alias, Devarrow, is a Canadian musician and producer celebrated for his songs reflecting on small-town joys, personal introspection, environmental and social concerns, and (on this new album) the unique love affair with his converted school bus turned music studio. Despite his seemingly bustling life in rural coastal Canada as a carpenter, surfer, and nature lover, his latest album, Heart Shaped Rock, defies any notion of musical complacency. Opening with the lines, “Every morning I just wake up and I just wash my face. Go downstairs and make some breakfast, coffee and some bacon and eggs,” the record offers a refreshing take on life's simple pleasures, injecting vitality into a folk genre that can often lean towards melancholy.
