This Storm by Catherine MacLellan and Tara MacLean Premiers at 2pm 15th April

Catherine MacLellan and Tara MacLean, both award winning singer/songwriters from Prince Edward Island, Canada, have come together for their first musical collaboration THIS STORM. Their fathers, Gene MacLellan and Marty Reno, wrote and toured together for decades. It is only natural that Catherine and Tara have now joined forces. 

THIS STORM, though born from self-isolation during the COVID-19 crisis, is truly a medicine song for the ages. It is about being there for one another even when we can’t be in the same physical space. It speaks to the struggle, the reservoir of strength and the light that we find during uncertain times. THIS STORM is a hopeful anthem to get through difficult moments.  

"For me, this song is about connecting. It's a reminder to have patience and to know that in time all wounds are healed. There are moments, especially now, when we can't be with those we love, but we can always reach out. We will find ways to be with one another, in person, virtually or spiritually"     - Catherine MacLellan

"We can't always be together in a crisis, but it can connect us and create even closer bonds with those we love, no matter how far apart we are."         - Tara MacLean

In THIS STORM, the sisterhood between Catherine and Tara can be heard in the delicacy of the poetry, the melody, the way the instruments and voices blend together. It’s as though they have been singing together forever. You would be forgiven to think they were recording in the same room. The song was produced by both Catherine and Tara with the vocals, guitar and piano, recorded in their respective studios.The lovely addition of the cello is performed by their friend Natalie Williams-Calhoun to add the finishing touch on an already emotional song. Mixing and mastering handled by Mark Westberg
