Hey everyone! I hope you’ve all been having a beautiful summer so far. For those who tune into my music, you may have noticed that I’ve been MIA from posting songs over the past couplea months. I’ve been taking a bit of a break from the internet to focus on practicing, playing live with my lovely friends, doing some farm work, tanning hides (some for a new banjo) and enjoying the blooming outdoors. Needed a bit of fresh air as I found myself being online a bit too much. However, I have also been writing and recording new music during this time. 🪕🤎
I am going to be posting a new video tomorrow! I’m going to be posting consistently again, but likely every couple of weeks moving forward, not once a week. I just want to say thank you to everyone who’s been supporting my music journey over the past year, it’s meant so much.
Lots of love,
Talise.

Hey folks!! 🌞🤎 I didn’t record an upload this week as I was busy recording a single!☺️ This tune is going to be a little bit different than my other upcoming single releases & full album, as it is has a bit more of an old-time country/psychedelic sound to it. I am still experimenting with my sound, but I am so so happy with how this one turned out! It is so near and dear to my heart, as it was written last year while I was touring the east coast about abusive relationships that folks can have with both humans and substances. I had an amazing time working with Ontario musician Jimmy Bowskill (who plays every instrument known to man lmao) to build up and experiment on this formerly stripped acoustic back song together.
I am going to be announcing it’s release date & pre-save information in the coming weeks. If you have a few seconds on that day pre-saving it on any platform very much helps the algorithm get to other old-time/country fans, even if it’s just a few saves. Anything helps so much!❤️ I don’t really know how to release or promote music, and it’s just me doing it, so anything is extremely helpful! 🌸
I hope you guys like this one.
Lots of love,
Talise.

Hey Everyone! 🤎
I’ve been dreaming about investing in a custom open-back banjo as my forever instrument. A friend of mine had one built by a talented maker in Eastern Canada, and after chatting with them about the process, the whole idea sounds so magical.
I’ve been saving up to record my first full-length album, but I’m thinking of putting that on hold for a bit so I can save for the banjo first this year. It feels like it would be special to record with a tailored instrument.
Does anyone here have experience ordering a custom banjo? Was it worthwhile in your musical journey?
Cheers, Talise 🌸

Happy holidays everyone!! 🎻❄️
I hope that you are all enjoying a beautiful and cozy holiday season 🤎
I hope that you are all having a wonderful time with whatever you celebrate around this season. I have so much gratitude for being able to share these songs with you all every year and being a part of this little community of song lovers!🌞 I will be back next week with a tune.
I am with my family this Christmas for the first time since I was a teenager, so I am taking some time away from music to enjoy being present with them. But I am so excited to announce that I just finished recording my cover of Bowling Green and will be releasing it in January!!🌿☺️ One of my favourite old time tunes to kick off 2025. I will announce pre-save info once it is uploaded (I hear that pre-saves on a song really helps the algorithm, so if you have Spotify even just one pre-save is so helpful and makes a difference for small artists.)
Happy holidays,
Talise.

Hey folks!
I’m feeling pretty sick this week, so I won’t be filming a new upload until around next Thursday. Hope you’re all staying cozy during these dark days before the solstice. 🤎
Also, I’ll be setting up a Bandsintown account for next year’s shows, so stay tuned for that!
Take care! ☺️

Hi folks! <3
I hope you've all had a great week. ☺️🤎
I was spending some time with my family today, so my Thursday video is a bit delayed, but I am going to be uploading another original song tomorrow! This one will be a clawhammer banjo tune.
