Folk Singer Marcus Lowry Shares the Nautical and Serene "Leaving the Shore"

Since earning his bachelor's degree in jazz performance from the University of Montreal in 2017, Canadian singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer Marcus Lowry has worked with a wide array of Canadian and international jazz, folk and pop artists. His debut solo album, Time, Time, Time, produced by JUNO-nominated musician Joe Grass, is set to be released this coming fall.

Like the morning haze that recedes to reveal a calm and clear day, Lowry's intimate folk musings on "Leaving the Shore" drift and buoy through waves of delicate chamber music, subtle electronics and nautical field recordings. "Leaving the Shore" offers calm and serenity to the inevitability of change and the challenges that often come with it.

To really enhance this feeling of a sea voyage, the song incorporated actual nautical field recordings from the personal collection of his producer, the great Joe Grass. In the song's climax you can hear seaport bells and the sounds of rolling tides, which were recorded by Grass near his hometown in New Brunswick.

"I struggle with anxiety and Hurry Sickness, so the feeling of time always slipping away is a recurring fear of mine," says Lowry. "The whole album, really, speaks to this feeling. Each song depicts a type of journey that grapples with similar anxieties and choices, and each one has become a personal reminder that my own fear of change can threaten my ability to explore all of life's richness and beauty."
