Acclaimed P.E.I. singer-songwriter Lennie Gallant is back with a new album, and it’s one that’s been a long time coming.
Shelter from the Storms is the 16th album release of Gallant’s illustrious career, but it’s also his first English-language recording in seven years.
Not that he hasn’t been productive over that time.
Gallant and his partner, Patricia Richard, recorded two albums in French as the duo Sirène et Matelot. Gallant also recorded a Christmas song with the Zimbabwean band Black Umfolosi.
“So I was busy, but I didn’t realize that seven years had passed since there was a bona fide, regular Lennie Gallant album,” he told Mainstreet P.E.I. host Steve Bruce. “It was a bit of a shock when I found that out.”
Island singer-songwriter Lennie Gallant will launch a new record on Friday – his first English-language album in seven years. He joins us to share what inspired the new record and some of the projects he’s been working on.
