(weewerk) www.weewerk.com has signed Halifax-based Newfoundlander DON BROWNRIGG www.donbrownrigg.com and will officially release his beautiful debut record "WANDER SONGS" May 20th. "Wander Songs"(weewerk)021 is a non assuming folk-pop record filled with wonderful songs that will pull you into the world that is Don Brownrigg. "Equally as comforting as a cup of tea, Wander Song’s coats listless souls with love and warmth. Don Brownrigg’s soft vocals spill tales of love, longing and insightful introspection." - THE COAST: Top 50 CDs of 2007; "Folk Recording of the Year", "CBC Galaxie Rising Star Recording of the Year" - 2008 EAST COAST MUSIC AWARD NOMINATIONS.
(weewerk) is an independent record label, artist management, and promotions company based in Toronto, Canada.
(weewerk) was founded in November 2002 as a series of art-and-music salon events organized by indie-rock defender Phil Klygo (Skull Geek, teenage USA recordings, Canadian Music Week) and visual artist / curator Germaine Koh (www.germainekoh.com) in their Toronto apartment above uber-indie music store, Rotate This on influential/edgy Queen St. West.
The underground spirit of this endeavour quickly
drew a devoted and wide-ranging following. As an extension of their DIY ethos, (weewerk) helped the young alt-folk artist Great Lake Swimmers release their haunting self-titled debut album in March 2003, and were immediately heralded as a fresh new record label within the independent Canadian music world.
(weewerk) will release ’Wander Songs’ nationwide through Outside Music Distribution and digitally through IODA and Zunior.com
