EP’s are a curious thing.They can introduce something new to an audience but often are a ‘cleaning out the closet’ of sorts for most artists.

For Bahamas, it’s a bit of both. Some of these songs have been recorded many times before but never released for one reason or another. Others have been played live over the last few years of touring.

The EP features the vocal stylings of Carleigh Aikins and Felicity Williams as well the rhythmic prowess of Winnipeg’s “grumpiest” drummer, @jasonjtait. Original songs sit alongside two covers re-imagined with a Bahamas state of mind. Afie has long admired the amazing Tamara Lindeman of The Weather Station, and he was beyond thrilled when she agreed to sing a duet of ‘Burn as Bright,’ surely one of the saddest e-releases of the year.

Hope you enjoy it.

Be My Witness - Guitar Lesson

Many guitar enthusiasts have asked Afie questions about his technique and approach to playing the ancient instrument. In this revealing instructional video, he makes clear all of the complex progressions and intricate picking patterns used on his critically acclaimed and mildly successful selling album CD, Barchords. This new video uses multi camera viewpoint’s to fully capture the sweet dulcet stylings that only he can bring out in such an instrument. When asked to speak about his craft, Afie replied simply “it’s just steel and wood.”

Exactly.

Download the lesson for free.
