About Bronze Leaf
From the wispy ashes of guitar soli’s earthic remains, Bronze Leaf’s lysergic embers warm our minds to the emerging angles within acid folk. Rooms fall silent as she conjures gentle finger-picked reverberations; lofty vocals hovering like ghosts above stretched hallways and vacant beaches. Armed with guitars, delay pedals, and looping mechanicals, Bronze Leaf joins the new wave of psychedelic folk artists transcending Canada into the bewildering nether-zone of fringe success. Catch her now while she remains within our ether!

Amy Macdonald has already enchanted many softies with her haunting, skilfully crafted singer/songwriter fare. She’s a stand-out in the genre with her boundary-pushing guitar playing, emotionally-charged lyrics, and beautiful vocal melodies. Go see her.

Centred around Amy Macdonald’s intricate, textured folk compositions, Bronze Leaf has been building an Edmonton following since 2008. Bronze Leaf has shared the stage with These Hands, Arms Up, Eisenhauer, Sheree Plett, Pat LePoidevin, Tyler Butler, Doug Hoyer, Andre Charles Theriault, and many others. Amy also moonlights with Gyre Spire & Spindle (in which she yells) and Book of Caverns (in which she plays keys), and has previously been a Sean Nicholas Savage backup singer/flautist.
Bronze Leaf will release its debut LP Bread Crumbs, produced by Eric Cheng (Portraits, Spreepark), in spring 2010 on Champion City Records, followed by a Canadian tour in May.
Birthday Tentacles, a split EP with Likewise Vultures (Chris Blackmore), featuring songs produced by Cecil Frena (GOBBLE GOBBLE), is available for free download here.
