This spring, one of Bellemare Records founders and all-around great guy, Sam Weber, grabbed a van, his guitars, and some friends and headed out on a 51 day cross-Canada tour. Though we miss him dearly, it has been thrilling to watch him impress and captivate crowds across the nation.
From small Maritime towns to Toronto's Canadian Music Week, Sam Weber and his crew are a new breed of road warrior and this passion for real-life connections and the importance of the adventure is so present in his work. His music is confident, propulsive, dark, and complex. It's no coincidence that his debut album, "Shadows in the Road" makes you want to get in your car and drive forever.
This Sunday, with open arms, we welcome Sam, Hugh, and Marshall back to the West Coast. Be a part of this incredible occasion at Guilt & Company on June 6th. Doors at 8:00pm, cover by donation.

In April, our dear friends Hawk and Steel announced the release of their sophomore album and we could not be more excited for them. With a June 23rd release date, "Anywhere But Here" promises to impress with their usual blend of heartfelt and heartbreaking lyrics and honest guitar-driven Canadian prairie vibes.
The incredible photographs and album art say a lot about the new record. The washed-out colours and suggestions of transience are the perfect introduction to the themes that wind their way through. "Anywhere But Here" makes you feel like you're in motion - to a place, away from a place - and in both cases is the starting point for a greater conversation about the affects of those places on your lives.
Join us in the crowd at Logan's Pub on Friday, June 12th to celebrate the launch of their new album, with support from Morning Show and the Whiskey Sisters. We'll be the ones shouting encouragement and compliments from the back.

Today snoqualmie brought a beauty pair of new tunes into the world, with the help of the swell and talented folks at Southern Souls and the Jam Factory Co.
SNOQUALMIE Watch Snoqualmie perform "Two Are Going" and "Alright" live at the Jam Factory.
A rough morning here at the Bellemare Records office. An age-old internal rivalry has bubbled to the surface and it's threatening to tear the team apart: "Which Dawes album is the best album?" Send help.
