Richard Garvey is releasing his 4th full-length studio album “Light Heart” on CD, Tape, bandcamp and digital streaming platforms. “Light Heart” is an 8 track release with a big band folk sound. For this production Garvey moved away from the acoustic guitar and banjo towards a full-band production with a horn-section. These songs shine with the spirit of collaboration. All seven of the musicians recorded and arranged their parts at home. 

“These songs are about moving from the frustrations of burn-out and self-sabotage towards hope, collaboration and dreams of a better world. It is hard to imagine working together if we can’t share our hopes and dreams. When we gather and share music, dance, art, food and participate in culture together it brings hope and builds community. We sing ourselves together.” 

Special thanks to the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund for the financial support. Special thanks to my Patreon supporters. Your support has kept me going throughout this pandemic and this album wouldn’t have happened without your feedback, encouragement and financial contributions. Thank you! 

Richard’s acoustic performance of “Light Heart” can be found here. Richard's album release show in Owen Sound will be at 7:30PM on October 12th at High Five.
