Information/Write-up
On March 13, 2020, Colleen Brown was on tour backing up Sarah Slean and Hawksley Workman, when the tour was cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic (but not before driving to Ottawa first and having to turn back around). Reflexively, Brown turned to writing and demoing to stay busy, which led to a weekly songwriting challenge. The culmination of these challenges is what eventually became the collection of original tracks that make up her new album “Isolation Songs”.
